1st Melbourn Guides As the end of lockdown appeared on the horizon and the children started returning to school, our Guides continued to enjoy weekly meetings on Zoom. Thinking Day, on 22nd February, is the annual celebration of international Scouting and Guiding. Our Zoom meeting that week started with us sharing photos of friends and relations who were, or are, in the Movement around the world. After making an Origami penguin, and a Guiding history quiz, we all renewed our Guide Promise, then Alexandra played Taps on her flute. The following week, with spring just around the corner, we did a Guide programme activity called ‘Plastic Planting’. Each girl created a mini biome from empty plastic drinks bottles, and planted pea seeds. Two weeks later they were growing nicely. For Mothers’ Day we did another programme activity which involved planning and costing some main meals for a family of four. To complicate matters, the girls then had to factor in a vegetarian, the price of organic food, and an unexpected guest. We finished the evening with a step-by-step demonstration of how to make a cut-out Mothers’ Day card using just a sheet of A4 paper. For St Patrick’s day, we challenged the girls to make a ‘Mr Potato Head’ using edible and craft materials, then showed a 5 minute YouTube tutorial of Irish dancing. We suggested that the girls turned off their video cameras so they could dance along without us watching! Our Irish-born leader Rachel showed us how to make the Ulster delicacy called ‘Fifteens’: a refrigerator cake of crushed biscuits mixed with cherries and condensed milk. On the first weekend of the Easter holidays we took part in a national ‘virtual’ sleepover. Within their own homes, some girls made a den from furniture, others put up a tent in their bedroom or the garden; Imogen bedded down in the conservatory, and Lily used the living room floor. After showing us their alternative bedrooms, they learnt about the phases of the melbournmagazine@gmail.com
