🌈Welcome to YEAR 1🌻
Teacher: Miss Bradley
What are we learning?
Want to see what you will be learning in Year 1? Have a look at the curriculum map below which show the curriculum content and topics for each half term. It includes the key topics, skills and knowledge for each subject. You can also see the key books we share.
In class, we teach Phonics daily as a whole class. We follow the Floppy’s scheme. Your child will take a Phonics Screening Check in June 2026. The check consists of 40 real and pseudo (alien) words and it is to test your child’s blending skills. Whilst your child is reading their reading book, you can help them to break down the sounds and blend the word together to read it. Please practice reading with your children as much as possible at home!
At St Chad’s we love reading! There is nothing better than curling up and getting cosy with a good book. Whatever you like to read, St Chad’s will have something for you. We have a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books in our class library. If you have a favourite author or genre, why not ask if we have a copy in school?
Here are the first 100 high frequency words which you can practise with your child at home.
