Develop creating thinking

Brilliant Me & My Ideas is designed to help your child:

  • Develop their imagination & curiosity

  • Have confidence in their own ideas and how to share them

  • Learn to develop and nurture an idea

  • Understand that there are many different ways to be ‘smart’

  • Have courage and self-belief in their ideas even if others shoot them down

  • Learn that small ideas can grow into big dreams

Believing in your ideas & your potential

This course uses the power of storytelling and creative activities to help children develop their imagination and confidence in their ideas. 'Brilliant Billy the Bunny’ accompanies the children throughout the course to help them navigate their emotions in a fun and supportive environment.

Our pedagogy is under pinned by academic research and inspired by thought leaders in the space. Read more about our inspiration here.

What does the course focus on

Each day, two stories are shared with the children based around the theme of creative thinking and ideas. Each story is followed by a creative activity which helps the children link the learning from the story to their everyday lives. Daily mindfulness activities are included to help the children learn to manage their emotions.

The stories shared in the Brilliant Me & My Ideas course are based around the following themes:

  • Developing our imagination and curiosity

  • What do you do with an idea?

  • There are many different ways to be ‘smart’

  • Making an idea into something

  • Thinking outside of the box

An example story shared on the course is ‘Perfect Square' by Michael Hall. This brilliant book celebrates being able to use our imagination to take a simple square and rearrange it to make something new. After being inspired by the ideas in the book, the children are then invited to create their own pictures using different shapes.

Getting to know your child

All our courses are run in small groups. This ensures our Role Model can get to know each child individually.

To help with this, before the course begins, we ask you to answer a few questions about your child and any specific needs they might have. We will also ask about food allergies, medical conditions and any additional needs that our Role Model needs to know about.

It will only take a minute or two, and it ensures our Role Model has all the information they need to ensure your child has the best experience possible.

  • Your child will receive a branded official certificate to recognise completion of the course.
  • After the course has finished, you'll receive follow up videos, that you can watch with your child. These aim to remind your child of the key course themes.
  • Finally, you'll receive a written report from the Role Model working with your child, highlighting their strengths and areas for further development.

Recent reviews

from parents & children that attended this course

First of all, we already know that these programs are packed of really well-working, useful and proven content since our daughter had joined courses on-site and meanwhile also online a good couple of times over years. Impressive, that with expectations set so high, how much also this latest course took her way with inspiration, again. The highly skilled and ambitious role model and the way they the content would come across even in an online session were very effective and the results impressive, once more. She grows in confidence with every course and session. Awesome.
