Welcome To Reception

Welcome to Reception

At William Barnes we use a play based interactive approach to deliver the Early Years Curriculum which focuses on seven key areas of learning. Reading, Writing and Maths are taught using a structured approach with whole class and small group adult led activities. Our pupils use the indoor classroom and outdoor areas choosing from a range of activities throughout sessions.

Exploring Autumn

In the past 2 weeks we have been exploring the season of Autumn. We have been on an Autumn Walk, to spot signs of Autumn and collected Autumnal objects.

Autumn 1 – Me in My Community

Our main focus during this term has been finding out about our local community and the people who help us within it.
