Here are a few pictures of our classroom environment...

Religious Education
We are a Church of England school and this is a big part of our curriculum. A St James' child values the fruits of the spirit in everything they do.

The fruits of the spirit are;

Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness & Self-control

How do you show the fruits of the spirit?

Curriculum Maps
Take a look at our half-termly curriculum maps to see the key skills we are learning...
I wonder which topic is your favourite and why?

Busy Learning 

In our classroom environments, both inside and outside, we have lots of fun activities.

These activities cover all areas of the EYFS curriculum.

We complete these independently and we call this "busy learning."

Take care and stay safe :)
