Ambitious, capable learners

A terrible storm is on its way to Honeywood, and the minibeasts are worried about their families and their homes. Will they survive this next disaster? And if they do, will they have any homes to return to? Storm Suzy batters Honeywood, but the minibeasts find shelter in an Ark designed by Betsy and built by the Bumble bees. All the minibeasts work as a team to make the structure safe and cosy for each minibeast family. Will Honeywood be destroyed? What will they find when the storm leaves?

This tactics game is about team work, communication and taking risk. Work in small teams and imagine you are one of the Bumble family collecting pollen. Your goal is to drop your balls of pollen into different buckets. You will have 5 chances to throw the ball into one of the 3 buckets. Each bucket has a different point value. See how many points you collect and decide what tactics you will use.

After completing the activity sheet, see which of the skills the children picked out as most important. Use the 6 tasks in the presentation to challenge the children to put these skills to the test. See if they can understand the skills they wrote down and transfer them into being a real life Top Team!
