Open the book is a project which offers school children an opportunity to hear major stories from the bible, from a team of local Christians from local churches, who present the stories during assemblies.
At Ovingham CE First School, we are visited by our friends at 'Open the Book' each month and especially enjoy opportunities for audience participation!
We have placed each bible story on a timeline which helps us to visualise the Old and New Testaments. We're developing a better understanding of the 'bigger picture' of Christianity and learning when in relation to one another these stories took place.
