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.
