Topic

This half term our topic is 'Going Places', we are going to be learning all about ways to travel. Each week we are going to be exploring  a different mode of transport, eg bus, boat or train.  Take a look at our curriculum map to see what our specific focuses are. 

Take a look at some of our pictures from our 'Going Places' topic below...

Talk4Writting

This term we are starting Talk4Writting, this is where we take a story and learn it using repetition and signs. Once we know the story really well we then change it to match our interests.  Our new story will be 'Rosie's Walk'...

Busy Learning 

In our classroom environments, both inside and out, we have lots of fun activities. These activities cover all areas of the EYFS curriculum. We complete these independently and we call it 'busy learning'.

Take a look at some of our 'busy learning' pictures below. What can you see?

Religious Education   

We are a Church of England school and this a big part of our curriculum. A St James' child values the fruits of the spirt in everything that they do. The fruits of the spirt are; Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, Faithfulness, & Self-Control.

How do you show the fruits of the spirit?

We have been learning all about how Hindu's celebrate Diwali. We had great fun making our own Rangoli Patterns and Diva Cups. We even tried some Indian food...
