This journal is for KS3 though due to the open ended nature, can be appropiate for KS4 and 5. Suitable for remote learning.
Through the 12 Chapters, young people will be given the space to observe, reflect and respond to big topics and themes central to our current world to promote positive mental health and wellbeing. This is a space to stretch your imagination and be creative.
The Chapters can be completed in order or hand-picked for the context of your class. Students will follow the same explorative structure to create reflective work for each Chapter. See how to guide to learn more.
This chapter explore the theme of hope, looking at other artists interpretations to the theme as a starting point to devising a creative response.
This resource contains access to the digital play and the first two PSHE lessons that explore the play Birds & Bees by Charlie Josphine.
Slide 2 of the ppt has more information on how to access the digital recording of the play, along with the rest of the resources. Free to all state schools in the UK until July 2021.
Birds and Bees is a brand-new show by award-winning writer Charlie Josephine, tailor-made and filmed for secondary school students. Developed with, and for, Year 10 and Year 11 students, it will help teachers address complex topics such as consent, sex positivity, online safety and intersectionality.
What teachers are saying:
*“Invaluable resource with great planning for lessons pre and post. Effective resource for GCSE play review question because we can access the performance all year to review in class. The play itself is great to raise important discussions around SRE in schools. I think it was really effective for my pupils to understand / see a non-binary character who they could relate to or be educated on. I use Theatre Centre every year and they do not disappoint!”
"I thought that it was very accessible, relatable to our young people and addressed topics that are both current and prevalent. "
“The kids will love it! So current and with such an important message.” *
