Health and Wellbeing

The mini beasts across Honeywood are left worn out after an awful disease makes the bees sick. Many sick bees have been taken to Nightingale Hospital to be looked after by Lady Scarlett and the ladybird nurses.

The little bees are so ill that their families are not allowed to come in to see them. To keep them happy, the ladybird nurses read them loving letters and cards written by their families, which are delivered every morning by the caterpillars.

The caterpillar family struggle to carry the heavy sacks, so Betsy, Bobby, Blue and Bella use their enterprising skills to design something innovative to make the caterpillars’ lives easier, but will it work?

Work in groups of 5. Only the rubber band can touch or move the cups. If the directions for each challenge are not followed correctly, groups will have to restart that challenge. Check each challenge has been completed correctly before moving on to the next.

For this activity, a coloured dot will be placed on everyone’s forehead. When the game begins, each person needs to find everyone else with the same-coloured dot and go to the area with the matching-coloured card and form a ‘team’ This must be done without speaking. 

The Bumbles of Honeywood have overcome lots of challenges over the past year. They fought off the nasty hornets, then recovered from the awful Beezles pandemic. Straight after that came ‘Storm Suzy.’ To lift everyone’s spirits, Bella and Bobby decide to organise a Honeywood Festival of Fun! Barry Bumble and his worker bees are asked to build a theatre, and Bella Bumble writes a play for the minibeasts to act on the stage. She loves writing exciting, fun stories. Bobby loves to make things, so he’s in charge of making all the costumes. The little bees ask for help from their friends to make the Honeywood Festival of Fun a huge success.

In small mixed ability groups children will be tasked with the challenge of reading some friendship scenarios and discussing possible solutions to the problems giving ideas where they might have done something different to show what it is to be a good friend.

Using the watering can templates the children can write all the qualities they feel would make a great friend.

Use this lesson to encourage the children to think about friendship. Use the activities to think about what qualities make a good friend and how being a good friend makes others feel.
