Ambitious, capable learners

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. 

Tell the children that we are going to look at how businesses advertise. Introduce logos and branding to the children and encourage them to design their own logos for their smoothies.

Challenge the children to identify each of the logos. Encourage the children discuss what is good about each of them and what makes them memorable.

Use this template to design your smoothie logo and smoothie name. Remember to think about the colour, style and shape.

Your task is to design and create your own smoothie. List the ingredients and equipment you will need and remember to write out the method. Don’t forget to name it!
