Advent 1 – Branch 1: Creation and Covenant
During our Creation and Covenant topic the children will retell the story of Moses, focusing on the two key events of the call and the covenant (the Burning Bush (Ex 3:1-15); the Sinai covenant and the Ten Commandments (Ex 19:3-8, 20:1-17)). We will also make links between the Ten Commandments and Jesus’ summary of the law in Matthew’s Gospel (22:36-40), use developing specialist vocabulary to describe what a covenant is, recognising that God made several covenants throughout history and show how the Ten Commandments help human beings live good and happy lives. Towards the end of unit, we will use developing specialist vocabulary to describe sin as deliberately spoiling our friendship with God and each other and know that a virtue is a positive habit that helps people live a good life.
