Moses and the Ten Commandments
Year 3 have been exploring the inspiring story of Moses as part of our new learning about Judaism. The children listened carefully to the story, watched an animation and worked together to sequence key events before confidently retelling Moses’ remarkable journey. They did a fantastic job remembering the details and explaining what happened at each stage.
We then discussed why Moses remains such an important figure for Jewish people today. The children shared thoughtful ideas, explaining that he led the Israelites to freedom, showed great faith in God and received the Ten Commandments, which continue to guide Jewish people in their daily lives.
The fun continued when we played Commandment Bingo, challenging ourselves to remember all ten commandments! Afterwards, the children reflected on what makes a good and caring community and created their own rules for living a positive life. They demonstrated a mature understanding of why the commandments are important and how they help people make good choices.
To finish, we explored the connections between Judaism and Christianity, discovering that the story of Moses and the Ten Commandments are significant to Christians too. Year 3 showed excellent curiosity and respect throughout the lesson and have made a brilliant start to their learning about Judaism.
