OT BX1 Croftlands Juniors

This afternoon I was with the year 5 classes at Croftlands, we did Bible Explorer in the hall as there were 52 children and it would be a little tight in a classroom.  As it was the first lesson I took some time to explain a bit about what we would be doing each week then went on to talk about the Bible before looking at Genesis 1:1.  The story of creation is covered in a matter of minutes with a magic trick I developed to cover the 7 days.  Then came the Adam and Eve story which leads to the fall and then on into Noah followed by a quick look at the tower of Babel.  Moving on then to talk about Abraham and his family as we going through the generations to Joseph.  Next week we pick up the rest of the Joseph story and then look at Moses.  The children responded well to the talk as they listened and laughed and joined in with the hand signs.
