Our ongoing Barnabas Bear Maths Adventures course brings learning to life through exciting, story-based journeys. Each week, learners join Barnabas Bear on a new adventure, developing their Maths skills while also exploring elements of phonics, reading, and science in a fun and engaging way.
Classes are designed to be interactive and enjoyable, combining songs, storytelling, and hands-on activities to help learners build confidence and understanding. Children are encouraged to participate, share ideas, and connect learning to real-life experiences in a supportive small group setting.
