Reception

Reception class is a mixture of nursery and reception level children, taught by Teacher Anna. The ages range from 3 - 7 years old.  Children are expected to complete 2 years in this class. Most of the activities are play based as children have had very little experience of toys and games in their homes. They also begin to learn numbers and sounds for reading. 
This class is taught mainly in Nyanja however the children are beginning to learn some basic English words.
