Resilience

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. Bobby loves to make things, so he’s in charge of making all the costumes. The little bees ask for help from their friends in an attempt to make the Honeywood Festival of Fun a huge success.

Complete the KWL (what I know, what I want to know, what I have learnt) grid about honeybees. Encourage the children to think outside of the box and complete research on new topics they want to learn about.

Work in small teams to think about what the children already know about bees. Think about any ideas and draw some images around the mind map of what a bee looks like.

Use these flashcards to indicate the shapes the children have to make in their teams with the string.

Do some research on the Welsh artist Rhiannon Roberts. She uses bright colours, and her colourful designs capture the landscape and vibrancy of Cardiff life. Using some of your favourite designs she has done, experiment and design your own pictures based on a famous landmark. Your designs can then be printed on cards for you to sell.

Organise your very own 'I'm a celebrity' style class event. Encourage the children to be brave, try new things and not be afraid of the unknown. Encourage the children to create their own event, think about planning and advertising of this event.

Create and decorate your own jar of courage. Write on small bits of paper whenever the children do something courageous or brave. At the end of the month empty out the jar to see all the amazing things the children have achieved.
