WHAT’S IN THE KIT?






EIGHT VIDEO EPISODES

We present the world of bees in a fun comedic style, before switching to a
simple instructional format to assist teachers with the dances.


WORKSHEETS

We’ve designed 20 worksheets to enrich the information discovered in each
episode. A few examples include, knowledge webs, colouring-in activities and bee
anatomy cut and paste activities!


CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES

Each video episode is accompanied by classroom activities (13 in total), which
include creating costumes, roleplaying and dance games and an educational video
game.




98-PAGE WORKBOOK

A 98-page printed book (also provided digitally), which lays out the science of
each episode in a simple, easy to pick up format.





ORIGINAL MUSIC

Transport your classroom into the world of bees with thirteen original tracks,
each themed around a part of bee life, composed by two award
winning ACT composers.  


DANCES

Children are guided through fourteen original dances, which give them the
opportunity to roleplay the process of making honey, pollinating, guarding the
hive and lots more!  


POSTERS

Nine digital posters are included, with high resolution photographs of real
honey bees and three original illustrations by artist Andrew Hore. 




THE CURRICULUM







OUR PROGRAM HAS BEEN DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM

Take Flight’s Creative Classroom Kits are based on a successful program that has
been run in over one hundred schools and centres within the ACT in the last ten
years.

While developing the Kits, we worked with Jill Buscombe, a Sustainable Schools
Coordinator, co-author of the Aboriginal Natural Resource Management Curriculum
Program and consultant on the Australian Curriculum. She ensured that the
eight-episode learning module has been comprehensively linked to the Australian
Curriculum.

She also developed a handy guide that details the Kits’ curriculum links. Click

TESTIMONIALS





DANCEKIDS TO TAKE FLIGHT EDUCATION: THE DANCING HONEY BEE

In 2004 Sue Jones combined her lifelong twin passions for environmental science
and dance, and developed her business called DanceKids. (www.dancekids.com.au)

The Take Flight: Dancing Honey Bee kit was built on the back of her experience
in developing and presenting the DanceKids Environmental Discovery Programs.

These programs are still being presented in Canberra and surrounding regions.

Click the honeybee icons to read just some of the reflections from people who
have experienced Sue’s work firsthand.


CHRISTINE CANSFIELD-SMITH FORMER DIRECTOR CSIRO DISCOVERY


CHRISTINE CANSFIELD-SMITH FORMER DIRECTOR CSIRO DISCOVERY

I greatly admire Sue Jones, her professionalism and her capabilities as a dance
teacher.
She is able to draw out the best from her students; even those not naturally
inclined
towards movement and dance. Sue is so enthusiastic in the way she researches
carefully and accurately her subject matter. She then can imaginatively
communicate,
through dance, some important principles of natural science and the environment;
areas of which she is passionate. Her Dancing Honey Bee Kit will be very
special,
particularly as bees are so critical to our survival. Sue will have created this
product with
a great deal of determination and creativity. She’s brilliant really.

As I was exploring the practice of Emergent Curriculum (EC) theory and brain
development
in early childhood at the time I first saw Sues work, I saw how Sue’s approach
fitted well into the E.C. framework
of brain development theory showing how children consciously and unconsciously
learn
when engaged in hand-on play based active learning. When exploring new ideas,
notions
and concepts young children further translate this into concrete experiences and
activities.  The
additional attraction to Sue’s innovative work was also, of course, the evident
joy of learning
and play children have when participating in her dance, music and movement,
conceptual
and dramatic plays.
Sue is very much in touch with the inner child and uses her adult knowledge,
talent and
experience to be creative in a very intelligent, inclusive and participatory way
with others.

My students and I have been fortunate to be part of the Sue Jones, DanceKids
program over
many years. This program caters for both boys and girls incorporating movement,
dance and
environmental awareness in a fun and vibrant program. I was delighted when I
found out
that a new teacher resource has been designed. The Take Flight Education Kit,
‘The Dancing
Honey Bee’ is easy to use and understand for the busy teacher. The kit is linked
to the
Australian curriculum and will be a valuable resource in my teaching program. I
look forward
to delivering this quality program and thank Sue for making such a user-friendly
resource
with all the planning and links to the curriculum already done.
