What is the Busy Bee Group?

• We are a Nurture Group, which helps the children to develop their social and emotional skills.

• We further develop social, emotional, behavioural and attachment skills.

• This in turn supports their academic development.

When does the Busy Bee Group meet?

• We meet for breakfast at 8:30 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, and then we go to our class for registration.
• We then attend group after lunch on Monday, Wednesday and Friday all afternoon.  Then we return to class before the end of school.

What do we learn about?

• We have the opportunity to develop a 1 to 1 relationship with staff and other children.

• This helps us with trust, sharing, turn taking and emotional development.

• We take part in a variety of fun activities, listening games, puzzles, role play and story time.

• This will complement our academic learning.

What happens in group sessions?

• We have breakfast with the staff and our group together at 8:30am then we go to registration.

• This is an important time as we are encouraged to hold a conversation around the table about many topics and get ready for our learning.
• After lunch, we will do a structured task and lots of fun activities.
• There will be some sessions which we invite parents to join us too.
