Year 5 and 6 have been learning how to find readings in the Bible. We learnt that the Bible is made up of many different books (66 in total) and is divided into two main parts: the Old Testament (stories from before Jesus was born) and the New Testament (the life of Jesus and the early church).
We used the contents page at the front (Old Testament) or the end (New Testament) of the Bible to find the page for that specific book. Then, to find a certain section of that book we use the chapters (big numbers) and verses (small numbers).
I was very impressed with how quickly children learnt this new skill.
Help at home – why not have a practice at home? Can your child remember how to find various Bible readings.
