Our Class Saint
Our Class Saint in Reception is Saint Augustine. We will be learning all about who he is, what he did and why our school is named after him. We have been learning that St Augustine is often shortened to St Austin.
We are part of God’s family at St Austin’s.
In our RE lessons we are learning about God’s Creation of the world we live in. We will talk about what we can do to take care of our world.
We are learning we are all special to God and we should look after each other too.

Phonics
Phonics is an important part of your child's learning in the first few years of school. At St Austin's we use the Read Write Inc (RWI) programme. To support your understanding of this we have put together lots of information and videos on our English page to help guide you step by step through your child's phonics journey.
