The Story of Moses - Year One

 Today in our Religious Education lesson, students learned about the Story of Moses and expressed their knowledge through role playing the story in small groups. The story is linked here. We had a class discussion about how God guided the Jewish people to freedom. Attached is a picture of a group during the role play activity!

In this picture Jorel is acting as the Egyptian Pharaoh who changed his mind and decided to chase after the Jewish people, after he had agreed to free them. David is pretending to be Moses, who split the Red Sea, allowing for the Jewish people to escape.
