Welcome to Year 1! This is a very important year in your child’s development as they begin working from the National Curriculum. They will learn to become a lot more independent in their learning and be taught a variety of subjects in more depth. We look forward to making our lessons fun, engaging and exciting!

St Teresa's offers a thematic approach to the curriculum, where we largely teach through topics or themes so that the work pupils do in different subjects is related.  Additional work is planned in Mathematics and English and this is increasingly the case as your child gets older.  A topic usually covers a term or half-term.

Our reading schemes are:

• Sounds Write
• Oxford Reading Tree
• Ladybird Books Read It Yourself
• Start Reading
• Read Zone
• Big Cat Books
• Reading with Phonics
• Fairytale Phonics
