This year Buzy Bees will be celebrating World Book Day on Friday May 7th. World Book Day changes lives through a love of books & shared reading.
Your child is invited to dress up as a character from their favourite book. (Government guidance will be referred to nearer the time & a decision will be made at that point whether books brought in from home will be permitted. Thank you for your understanding)
Buzy Bees are pleased to be supporting Red Nose Day again this year.
The event is taking place on Friday 19th March & your child is invited to wear red clothes/fancy dress, a painted nose, cheek or hand to help support this wonderful cause. (We are asking that children DO NOT bring in/wear red noses into Buzy Bees, these can be enjoyed at home this year. Thank you)
A donation tin will be available on the day.
Health visiting & School Nurse advice lines can be obtained using the below link.
