Continuing on from Early Years, as children enter Reception, they build on the letter sound knowledge they have in accordance with the Government Letters and Sounds Document. Children begin to read and write in this year group. Numeracy is taught through carefully planned structured play activities and practical lessons. This planning takes into consideration the learning styles, experiences and abilities within the group. In Reception we also have two full-time bilingual assistants to support the teachers. We provide children with activities that build on and extend their interests and develop their intellectual, physical, social and emotional abilities.
