Intent

At St Thomas Aquinas RC Primary School, we are committed to providing our children with the best possible start to their school life. We believe the experiences that a child has in the first two years at our school is vital in developing skills, attitudes to learning and values that build on the early experiences in pre school settings.

Vocations Week

Foundation Stage really enjoyed learning about different occupations this week. 

Building The Kingdom Day - All Saints

We celebrated the Feast of All Saints as a whole school. The children really enjoyed participating in activities to learn about different Saints, including Cross-Curricular Orienteering where the children enjoyed learning how to use pre-map skills to find pictures and information about different Saints. 

We visited our prayer garden to say the Our Father prayer.

We loved celebrating Valentines Day at the craft fundraiser.
