The Bible and the Torah Scroll


What can we learn about other faiths from their stories and books?

In year 1 this week we looked carefully at the Bible and listened to the story 'The Lost Sheep'.  The children found out that the Bible is split in to 2 main sections; the Old Testament and the New Testament.  The Old Testament has 39 books in it and is all about God, the New Testament has 29 books in it and is all about Jesus.  The children thought it was amazing how big the Bible is and that it has books, chapters AND verses.

In year 2 the children looked carefully at the Torah Scroll.  They viewed pictures from the messianic synagogue in Norwich and could see the Torah Scroll being carried in to the synagogue, being read and standing in the Ark.  We thought back to the story of Moses being given the 10 commandments and then the children wrote about why they believe the Torah Scroll is important to Jewish people.
