Teacher’s posters There is a Teacher’s poster to be displayed in each lesson, which illustrates the theme of the Bible teaching. These are useful for reinforcing teaching, summarising and recalling past lessons, and creating a colourful timeline of learning.
Child’s component
When completed, the children can take home their folder to display, as a reminder of what they have learned about God and his Son, Jesus. Additional sets of cards may be purchased from CEP and laminated to make playing cards. These can then be incorporated into the children’s learning and used for games such as matching games, memory games or snap.
Photocopiable masters
The Child’s component for this unit consists of: ■■ one A3 display folder ■■ nine cards to be added to the folder each week.
PL E
In Lesson 1, the children will receive their folders and decorate the front cover and crown. Each lesson following, the children will receive a cut-out card to be attached to the display folder which will remind them of what they have learned that week. The children may also choose to add their own small drawings of what they have learned to the front and/or back of the folder. These display folders can be used as aids for revision throughout the unit.
Photocopiable masters have also been included with most lessons to provide extra craft activities to reinforce key learning concepts. They provide an opportunity for children to add their own ideas and creativity to the picture from what they have learned in the story. Purchase of the Teacher’s pack entitles you to make one copy for each child in your group.

Unit 1 Introduction
Unit 1 and the Bible
The markers on the timeline below show where this unit’s teaching fits in the Bible history as a whole. We encourage the children to understand that Jesus is the ‘centrepiece’ of God’s plan and that we can also be part of the plan by having faith in Jesus ourselves. As the children learn about God’s Son, Jesus, they will see that he was sent by God to teach people about God so that they can have a relationship with God, their Creator, who loves them.
