Welcome to the Buzzy Bee class! The class is made up of 3 and 4 year olds. Our classroom is the first you come across from the entrance into the nursery garden. One side of the classroom is full of windows with a perfect view of the nursery garden for the children to look out upon as they play in the classroom. In the Buzzy Bee room we have a cookery area, equipped with child sized resources and outfits.
The position of our classroom means we have the furthest to walk to our Woodland Garden for woodland days – this makes the journey across the main nursery garden feel more like an adventure for the day! Although we might be the furthest from the Woodland Garden we are the closest to the library, this makes it easy for spontaneous quiet story times.
As with all the classrooms we have divided up the areas using shelving, so children have direct and easy access to the resources available to support their independent play. We tend to have many resources that stay the same, so that children can return to their activities over a period of time and revisit their favourite activities. However, we also add resources that may be of interest to the children, such as wedding outfits, or hairdressing equipment in the home corner.
All children have their own designated coat peg. Upon arrival we encourage children to find their peg and put all their belongings away.
Information for parents can be found in a variety of places including the parents notice board inside the classroom and on the whiteboard outside of the classroom door.

Autumn Term 1 - 2024
What a super start to the new academic year we have had! The children are settling really well, and it feels like they have always been part of the Buzzy Bees. The children are adapting well to the routines of the class. We have introduced group times at the beginning and end of the day where we sing songs, engage in conversation, read stories or maybe have a focus on a particular skill.
Our core story this half term is Shark in the Park by Nick Sharratt. The children already know when to join in with shouting “THERES A SHARK IN THE PARK!” and are getting to know the repetitive refrains quickly. The children have been involved in many activities linked with the story, be it going on shark hunts in the garden, making telescopes, retelling the story using props, identifying various types of sharks and much more! The children are also enjoying the other Shark in the Park stories.
Outdoor Ali, has joined us in the nursery garden and helped us press some delicious apple juice which the children enjoyed with their snack - a truly great experience, where children were making connections with the carton of apple juice they have at home and how we were making it at nursery! Thank you for your donations of apples!
The weather has turned rather wet recently and we have all been enjoying lots of puddle play! We have enough suits for each child to wear one, however although their suits stop them from getting wet when its raining, it doesn’t always stop the water getting through to their clothes when they are puddle jumping on a large scale, so we ask you provide your child with at least one change of clothes so they can play in the water without worries.
