1st Melbourn Rainbows We have really enjoyed being back in the hall since September. The Autumn term not only brought new Rainbows but new volunteers! We welcomed Lilac, our new leader, and also Tulip and Peony – our young leaders. The girls had a very busy term, starting by making thank you cards for a person that they had been helped by. Some made them for teachers, family friends and nurses. We also received one for the Rainbow leaders, which was lovely. The Rainbows made the most of the ‘Cows about Cambridge’ event by visiting as many as possible. We created our own designs and earned a very special badge. We also had activities on recycling, traffic surveys, safe camping, and the weather. A highlight of the term must be Buttercup’s ‘armpit fudge’! The ingredients were measured into a bag, sealed, and then placed under the armpit to warm it up. Lots of kneading and warming then produced some lovely chocolate fudge, which the girls then ate on some biscuits. In November, we celebrated the 50th Birthday of Anglia Guiding by having our own party. We dressed in rainbow colours and had rainbow cupcakes, and we had lots of crafts and games. The Spring term has just started, and we have lots planned for the coming weeks. We started with songs and games, with Clover introducing some sign language to our Rainbow songs. The girls have been practising really hard to remember them and it’s lovely to watch them perform together. Last week they got very messy by painting some ‘Positivity stones’. These were finger-painted and will be varnished and hidden around the village for people to find and re-hide. Hopefully bringing a little positivity with it. Lavender, 1st Melbourn Rainbows
2nd Melbourn Brownies In January we took most of our Brownies along with the Meldreth Brownie unit to see Aladdin at the Gordon Craig Theatre. Everyone had a great time, it was lovely to see the girls joining in with ‘it’s behind you’ and the usual panto melbournmagazine@gmail.com
