Sugar Detectives

3-7 years:
Children become ‘Sneaky Sugar Detectives’ and have to use newly learnt skills to detect how much sugar is in the everyday foods we eat. This workshop utilises children’s maths and investigative skills whilst educating children about the effects of too much sugar in their diet. For the second part of the workshop children look at the importance of a balanced diet. They become superheroes and decide on new super powers their fruits and vegetables have given them.

8-12 years:
For the second half of the session, students look at how easy it is to hide sugar in foods and experiment how many teaspoons of sugar they can dissolve in a cup of water.

Bee an Eco Coder

Students become ‘BeeHealthy Eco Warriors’ and inquire into our big question, Is waste really waste?” They look at the importance of recycling and how we need to combat contamination.

We delve into how robots are now being used to help us recycle more efficiently and have a go themselves at coding our BeeHealthy Robots to ensure they take the appropriate waste material to the correct recycle bin!

Bee a Super Eco Warrior - Monster Bins

Students become ‘BeeHealthy Eco Warriors’ and inquire into our big question, Is waste really waste?” They look at the importance of recycling and how we need to combat contamination.

They complete their first challenge as Super Eco Warriors and help feed our Monster Bins who are very fussy eaters. Next we learn about contamination and the problems it is causing with recycling. Students take action and their next task is to create more monster bins which can be used at their own school to help reduce contamination.

Our final challenge is to design their Super Eco Warrior masks, so they can continue their sustainable journey and help educate others.

Bee a Super Eco Warrior - Plastic Pollution

3-8 years:

Children explore the many bins we can use to recycle the everyday items we no longer need and practice recycling through time trials!

They then discover the big problems our fish are facing in their habitats. Many soft toy fish need to rescued from being trapped in large fishing nets! Also many toy fish need their habitats to be cleaned from all the plastic waste floating around. We do not want them to mistake the plastic for food.

Can the children save the day and be true Super Eco Warriors!

Bee a Super Eco Warrior - Textile Waste

6-12 years:

In this session we will be reading two of our favourite stories, ‘Be a Super Eco Warrior’ and ‘Don’t Just Throw me Away’.
Children will learn about the lifespans of waste and all the fun ways we can recycle.
The theme of the workshop is textiles waste and by the end of the session kids will have practiced the art of up-cycling.

If you have old, unwanted t-shirt or socks, bring them along for some up-cycling fun!

Bee Active

3-8 years:

‘Bee Active’ is a super fun workshop based on our unique interactive story, ‘Let’s Go for a Run’. Children join the Bee Healthy kids and go on an exciting running adventure. Children explore different ways of moving, learn about the effects of exercise on the body and finish off with some mindfulness breathing exercises.

Bee Mindful

8-12 years:

During this workshop, children explore and develop positive habits of the mind. Based on our popular story, “My Mind is Like A Snow Globe” children practice the art of mindfulness and discover its power of helping us to reduce the snow blizzard in our minds, to help us see and think clearly again.

My Body Is A Race car!

Do you love big cars, small cars, fast cars and unique cars? Then this workshop is for you! Take a “brake” and learn how cars and bodies are alike and how you can look after them. Health and wellbeing can be wheely fun when you find out your body is just like a racing car! It’s a race against time to organise all the foods we love into their food groups and then we join the BeeHealthy crew on a running adventure. Then for the last part of the workshop join our superheroes and design your own superhero masks and special powers based on the fruits and vegetables you love to eat.

 

This workshop utilises children’s creative and investigative skills whilst educating children about the food we eat and how we can keep ourselves healthy.
