Bumble Bees

We would like to welcome all the new children into Bumblebees and say how impressed we are with how they have settled into nursery. On a Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday your teacher is Nicola Statham and on Thursday/Friday Caroline Tompkins. Clare Hartley and Terri Miller will be working with your children all week making sure they have fun and enjoy their time in Bumblebees. 

In the Bumblebees room we play and have fun while we learn. We explore indoors and outdoors where we have chance to learn and practice new skills. While your child is with us they will enjoy lots of play experiences including sand, water, playdough, messy play, baking and role play.

We love spending time in our garden playing on our climbing frames and in our big sand and water trays. We play outside whatever the weather, there is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes.

We encourage children to join in with short, fun and interactive carpet times, where we practise our counting and listening. We love to dance and sing and hope that everyone leaves with a big smile on their face.

Autumn 1

This half term we will be welcoming lots of new children into our Bumblebees nursery. We are excited to meet them all and to get to know them. We will begin the half term by thinking about ourselves and our Birthdays. We also start to learn some nursery rhymes, the children will build walls for Humpty Dumpty and make webs for Incy Wincy Spider. We will finish the half term by reading the book 'Brown Bear, brown bear' learning colour words and the names of the animals in the story. 

Autumn 2

Spring 1

    

Spring 2

In nursery we are learning about the key story of 'We're going on a Bear Hunt.' We learn how to join in with the chorus, use the areas of provision to explore using our senses, eg making sensory bottles, explore outdoor obstacle courses, movement to music, yoga movements and learning positional language , such as over, under, through. For the rest of the term, we are celebrating special events, learning about our special food and clothes, our families, what makes us the same and different. We will look at familiar festivals, including Easter, Eid and Mother's day.
