8th January

Wow, what a hectic session, but not a lot to talk about really!

We had 7 new Brownies starting tonight - 3 were previous Rainbows, and 4 are new to the organisation!

As we had 8 girls leave last term, we did a big move around of Sixes tonight. We now have.... Elves, Pixies, Gnomes, Kelpies and Ghillie Dhus! Every Six has a new Sixer, so this should be a fun new challenge!

Because we had so many new girls, we decided this week should be a games and getting to know you evening! We played: Splat, Rats/Rabbits/Rice, Brownie Bingo, Chinese Whispers and Giants Keys! All the girls seemed to get along really well, which is always positive!

We ended the night by giving out letters for a Coffee Morning, a trip to Magna and Pack Holiday!

26th March

I thought I’d written this post, but I obviously haven’t, so apologies if I don’t remember everything! The main activity for today was making Owls out of Creme eggs and chocolate buttons: My Owl didn’t stand up very well, I think it was taking a nap, but the Brownies’ were a lot more successful than I was! I know that the girls enjoyed these as I’ve heard on the grapevine that one of the Brownies has been doing them at home with her family! As our final activity for the term we challenged the Brownies in small groups to design and make a parachute to safely guide an egg to earth! All the groups worked really well together and came up with some ingenious ideas (We made sure the groups were split so there was a mix of ages in each group!) We did this activity with plastic eggs (Which I’m pleased we did, as I think there would have been lots of egg on the floor otherwise!!) And now it’s time for two weeks off. The two weeks will be spent programme planning, sorting things for Brownie Holi...

26th February

Promises and Buns (Fairy Cakes) Decorating! Monday was busy! First of all we had 6 girls making their Brownie Promises - they all looked very smart in their new uniforms and had tried really hard to learn their promises. There was at least one parent for each girl who stayed to watch, which was really nice and once that was over, all the parents left! We did bun decorating this week, and instead of just giving the girls buns and icing/sprinkles, we had four tables with different designs. We had Minions (Yellow icing, 2 Marshmallows, Chocolate Chips, Black Writing Icing and strawberry laces) Owls (Chocolate frosting, Oreos, Chocolate Chips and Orange Midget Gems) Butterflies (Jazzies, Chocolate Buttons and Strawberry Laces) and Pigs (Pink icing, Pink Wafers, Chocolate Chips, Marshmallows) It was lots of fun. We decided to use pre-made buns from Sainsburys (Using the Active Kids Voucher) so that we had time instead of waiting for buns to cool down! We had the girls in 4 groups and ...

Our Coffee Morning

This morning we hosted a Coffee Morning at the Church where we meet to raise money for our Brownie Unit and the Rainbow Unit who meet before us on a Monday. Brownies were invited to complete heir Hostess badge by making drinks/helping on stalls/washing up etc and Rainbows were invited along to enjoy themselves and help if they want. Both sections made things before the day (Rainbows made signs and Brownies made decorations for the table (See Photo below!)) It was a very busy morning and the hall was packed for the whole 1.5 hours. It was hard work for the leaders but all the irks were superstars and really helped out. We were supported by so many people, members of the Church, friends, family and lots of others!) We raised an amazing £461.10 which will be shared 50/50 between the two sections which made the planning and hard work worth it!
