Live in Faith, Learn in Joy
John 10:10 I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
We are learning all about plants, habitats and animals from around the world.
A very warm welcome to our page. We have a mixed class of Reception and Year 1 children. In Reception we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework and in Y1 we follow the National Curriculum. All our learning (apart from phonics) is topic based and hands-on. This educational approach ensures that the learning is engaging and relavent.
We do not set homework in EYFS, although we encourage our parents to read with their children on a daily basis for 10 minutes, practise their current phonics learning, work towards strengthening their muscles to improve handwriting skills and to have lots of fun learning through play.
By working together, we aim to make this the best possible start to a love of life-long learning. It is a privilege to be sharing your child’s first stepping stone into education.
Our Reception Class Teacher is Mrs Johnson. If you have any questions or would like further information about Reception life at St. Saviour's please send an email to c.johnson@stsavioursrcpri.co.uk . Please visit our EYFS Curriculum page for more information.
We are looking for signs of Spring and new life all around us!

Useful Phonics Resources
Phonics is taught daily and children begin with Phase 2 sounds and then progress to Phase 5 by the end of the year. Children also learn to read words that are harder to read and spell (words that do not necessarily follow the rules!).
The children learn mnemonics and ryhymes to help them read and write the letters (graphemes). Please click on the button to find out more information for each Phase.
