At SJS we aim to teach a creative curriculum which engages the children and helps them to become the best learners they can be. This means, where possible, we link many of the different subjects to the termly topic theme. 

Curriculum Focus

Our topic this term is Ancient Greece and the children are very enthusiastic to learn more about this very important and amazing topic. This will provide the focus for our writing, history, geography and artwork. There are many good websites for the children to visit. As always, a good place to start is: http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/topics/z87tn39

English

We will focus on persuasion. We will also look at descriptive writing to develop children's vocabulary. Regular comprehension and grammar work will also be carried out. 

Maths

In maths we will spend the first term looking at place value and move on to the four operations and will apply these to word problems.

Computing

Our aim is to explore computer programming through Scratch.

Science

This term’s science will focus on the Earth, Sun and Moon as well as Changing State.  

Topic

Every term your child’s topic will involve Art/DT, RE, PSHE, Geography/History.
