Within this unit, pupils will find out about the story of the Exodus, sequencing key events and considering different interpretations. Pupils will make clear connections between Bible texts studied and what Christians believe about how God can help during difficult times and how they should behave. They will explain ways in which some Christians put their beliefs into practice by trying to bring freedom to others. Later in the unit, pupils will investigate the ten commandments, considering why the People of God were given these and what they mean for believers today.
