Girton and Oakington Brownies Celebrate World Thinking Day 2013

For world thinking day 2013 the Brownies from Girton and Oakington had a joint meeting. The girls took part in a variety of activities: decorating biscuits, making paper promise torches, colouring in good turn owls, making promise hands and writing letters to Malala.

We also used the evening to do some fund raising for Malaria Relief and Comic Relief. The oakington Brownies paid £1 to come in non-uniform and all the girls bought 1p and 2p coins to cover the words World Thinking Day 2013. We managed to cover the words 4 times and raised a total of £40.70 which was divided between the two charities.

Each Brownie Six chose a different country, and found out some information.  They all found out about the Brownies in that country and brought in some food.  They also found out some more interesting facts to share.

Remembrance Day

Welcome Back Rainbows!

Well today we talked to the Rainbows about why we have Remembrance Day. One Rainbow explained it really well to the other Rainbows saying,  “It is to remember the soldiers that died in the war.”

Then we did a poppy activity where the girls used a potato stamp in black paint for the middle of the poppy,  red card for the petals of the poppy,  and green paint for the stems. These look very nice.

Next week is the Rainbow Promises Party.

This is a Royal Legion Poppy

This is a poppy made by a Rainbow.
