Living and Learning: I know about peace.
This week we thought really carefully about our living and learning statement. We were thinking about Peace. Using a dictionary, we found the definition for peace.
As a class, we decided that peace is very important-not just in the wider world but within our school as well.
Willow suggested that peace is important because we don’t want wars because people have to leave their country.
Harley then highlighted that when wars have finished people start to want peace.
Our thoughts on peace were summed up by Leah who stated that when there is peace, there is no war.
Multiplication madness
In Year 2, we have been thinking about how we can become super speedy at doing times tables facts. Here are a few games to help you become super speedy.
If you fancy a race against the clock then try Hit the Button.
If you feel like having a race then then try Grand Prix Multiplication or Times table Rally.

Craft club creations
This week in craft club we have been making Mother’s Day cards. Look at our lovely designs.
Snack time progress…
At St James’, we’re all about progress and the Foundation class is no different.
Each day, during snack time, a Tally Master records our choices. We then can use the tally chart to see which snack is the most popular or least popular.
Maths is a huge part of your child’s learning at St James’ and it’s important to practise recording and interpreting information. Try challenging your child to create a tally chart of their own at home!
Check out how the children have taken ownership and improved recording the class choices:
The ten best ways to live.
We had some special visitors in school today. A charity called Hand to Mouth came in to talk to us about an exciting story. We learnt about God’s ten best ways to live which are also called the Ten Commandments. Take a look at a few photographs from our session.
Fabulous homework
We had some brilliant homework projects this week, but there was one that stood out. One of our pupils created a masterpiece to express his talents.
He loves to play football and he likes to make models.
The attention to detail in this model was brilliant. Very well done!
Spectacular Sculptures!
We have been very busy working on our sculptures this week. Some of us have now painted and finished them; some of us are still creating the shape using Modroc.
Living and Learning: I can pay and receive compliments
This week, we’ve been paying and receiving compliments as part of our Living and Learning lesson. It made us feel really happy inside when our friends gave us a compliment.
Leeds Art Gallery
Year 1 and 2 have had a super exciting day today. We visited Leeds Art Gallery and we saw lots of different kinds of art. There were many artists who had a variety of skills. Leonardo Da Vinci created some amazing pieces.
- Ava shared that she loved the way he had used shading.
- Dexter explained that Leonardo’s art showing the anatomy of a human looked so realistic that it made him feel shocked.
- Mikey liked the way in which Leonardo used his maths skills when measuring up the length of a horse’s leg.
We love colours!
Look at our amazing colour mixing skills. We’ve been learning all about primary colours and the processes we can go through to make new colours. Take a look!
