One of our aims at Thomas Hassall is to explore how the whole Bible (both Old Testament and New Testament) all fit in to make one great narrative from God to His people.
It is common to view the Old Testament as old and irrelevant as it was all written before the birth of Jesus Christ but we believe that the Old Testament is just as relevant as the New Testament. We aim to teach all students that all of the Bible is a beautiful story of Gods loving plan to save all people.
One way we are beginning to do this in the Primary years is to teach the Old Testament timeline. We will then begin to see how each story points to a need of a Saviour who will come to forgive all people from their sin.
Below is a fun way that the primary school were able to learn the Old Testament timeline during Blended Learning online.
I hope you enjoy.
God Bless
