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.

Police Community Support Officer Visits Reception Class
As part of the topic ‘People Who Help Us’ Reception class had a visit from Mandy, Sturminster Newton PCSO. Mandy showed us the Police Car – including the sirens and the flashing lights. Then we tried on parts of a PSCO’s uniform and asked lots of questions. We were also given a goodie bag to take home. Thanks Mandy.
Reception Class Visit Sturminster Newton Library
As part of our learning about books and reading and our topic ‘People Who Help Us’ we have been to the library. We learnt all about what you can find and do at the library, completed a book treasure hunt and we all chose a book that we have brought back to school to read. We look forward to visiting again soon.
