OVERVIEW FOR JUDAISM – YEAR 1 & FOUNDATION 1

STORIES – ABRAHAM AND MOSES Judaism is taught for one week every year. Each year the pupils learn more about how their Jewish sisters and brothers live and what they believe as the theme develops. The themes are the same for all religions.

TEACHERS’ NOTES

Abraham is the father of the Jewish nation. It was he who answered God’s call to leave his home in Mesopotamia and journey to the unknown land that God promised him. God promised to make his descendants a great nation. Abraham helped people understand that there is only one God. An important descendant of Abraham was Moses. He was a leader who helped the Jewish people escape from the slavery in Egypt and journey to their promised land. Through Moses God gave his people the Ten Commandments to live by.

OVERVIEW FOR ISLAM – YEAR 1 & FOUNDATION 1

STORIES – MUHAMMAD Judaism is studied by everyone and Islam one of the options of choice from the three other religions. It is taught for one week every year. The themes are the same for all religions.

TEACHERS’ NOTES

Muslims are followers of the religion of Islam, which began in Saudi Arabia around the seventh century. They believe in one God, Allah. There are two main groups of Muslims, Shi’ah and Sunni. The Sunnis are the larger group. Their beliefs are similar but they differ on the forms of leadership. What the children learn in this programme of study is a middle way, offering what is most general in Islam. The spelling used is Makkah rather than the common version Mecca to avoid confusion.
