Class Saint

Class 1’s Class Saint is St Teresa of Calcutta.

Mother Teresa was a Catholic nun and missionary. She is famous for her charitable works and helping the poor, hungry and sick people of India. She founded the Missionaries of Charity, who ran over 500 missions worldwide. She was canonised as a Saint by the Catholic church in 2016. As we learn about the life of St Teresa, the children are reminded of how Jesus calls us all to show love, kindness and service to others.

Feast Day- Thursday 5th September

Phonics and Early Reading

We follow ReadWriteInc to teach children how to read. The children begin by learning single-letter sounds and progress to learning digraphs by the end of the year. The children are taught how to blend these sounds together to read words; they also learn how to read a selection of non-decodable words and then put all this together as they start to read simple sentences and then ditties and stories. Regular dojo updates and termly meetings provide information about how you can best support your children at home.
