2B Enterprising inspires the next generation of ambitious, healthy, enterprising and informed citizens. We raise the aspirations of young people whilst introducing them to valuable life experiences and key skills.
We’ve written a series of creative and thought provoking books entitled ‘The Bumbles of Honeywood.’ These stories transport our readers to the enterprising world of the Bumble Family – sharing valuable lessons learned through their journeys and challenges with their friends in Honeywood. Themes include sustainability, wellbeing, inclusion and diversity.
These storybooks are accompanied by physical and digital resources for primary school teachers to support the development of enterprise skills in the classroom.
Working with education leaders and enterprise professionals, we have created a portfolio of resources to develop young peoples’ enterprise skills.
We deliver engaging enterprise sessions to inspire young people and develop an entrepreneurial mindset. Our team delivers three exciting sessions to each primary school – raising the aspirations of the next generation of entrepreneurs and employees.
We partner businesses with education to not only financially support the programme but bring enterprise skills to life in the classroom.
One of the most valuable elements of The Bumbles of Honeywood Programme is the introduction of a business partner to help embed the entrepreneurial mindset with pupils, from a young age.
These partners fund the resources and commit to visiting their chosen schools to introduce their business, talk about the job opportunities that exist and skills required to work in their industry.
We were delighted to be chosen to receive funding from two local companies for the Bumbles of Honeywood program, which has really supported our pupils’ skills and creativity. We have found the books engaging, they are bright and colourful, they cover a huge range of topics and we easily found two books that fitted perfectly with our concepts.
We are always looking for innovative and engaging ways to deliver learning and will be using the Bumbles of Honeywood package as part of our effort to develop entrepreneurial and creative skills amongst our youngest learners in Key Stage 2.
The whole school community of Templeton is behind this initiative and are excited about its many advantages to the educational experiences of our children, in particular the biodiversity and ecological aspect, which is so important to our learners, but also the enterprising and innovation skills involved which may even support their future careers.
The Bumbles of Honeywood fits perfectly into the New Curriculum for Wales. It allows us to focus on the pupils’ wellbeing, enables us to easily focus on aspects of the science and technology AoLE and also provides the children with the opportunity to develop their enterprise skills, an area of the primary curriculum which can often present a challenge to schools.
The Bumbles of Honeywood’ programme has encouraged the pupils to have a positive and resilient mind set. Involvement in the programme has helped them to further develop independence and resourcefulness. They have loved it !
