Welcome to Year 1

My name is Miss Owen and I am your class teacher. Our classroom is a happy and positive place where we have lots of fun learning new things.

If you have any queries or concerns, please feel free to email the office at admin@saintmaryscongleton.co.uk and they will pass on the message.

Additionally, weekly updates and any information will be posted on the Class Dojo stories.

Phonics

We use the 'Monster Phonics' programme for teaching Phonics and early reading. Parents are able to access this at home, and reinforce their learning between school and home.

In June, Year 1 children have a Phonics Screening check. To prepare them for this, we practise phonics daily and read lots of real/nonsense ('alien') words. Children are expected to read at home daily, in order to support their progress.

Below are some really useful resources to help support your child's learning!
