1st Melbourn Rainbows This year was the start of our Guiding Centenary and to celebrate, Girlguiding UK has teamed up with 18 charities. Different projects have been created by the girls and young women to change the world. We gave our Rainbows a chance to vote for which project they wished to participate in and their choice was Kidscape. The project will create awareness about bullying and how to say no to a bully. Learning how to take direct action against bullying by making pledges, learning about healthy friendships and becoming bully proof! We have learnt songs, played games and participated in crafts to help us be more confident about ourselves and our abilities. We have all now completed the project and are wearing our badges with pride. Also, earlier this year, we had our first ever Rainbow Sleepover to celebrate our unit’s first birthday. We created our own party food, played games, made stained glass windows and bracelets as well as other great things. The girls were fantastic and behaved impeccably, so much

so, we are looking forward to having another sleepover later in the year. For one evening we gave our Young Leader, Jo Evans, better known as Tulip, a chance to teach us all some dancing. As well as learning some old dance routines, she taught the girls a new routine which they performed to their parents at the end of the evening. A rather exhausting event for the older members of our group but not so for the girls who had a fantastic time. All the Rainbows this year have also gained themselves a ‘Roundabout the World’ badge. We had to complete four activities under the theme’s Laugh, Look, Learn and Love. For laugh we made edible mud cups including worms! As you can imagine a very messy task but thoroughly enjoyed by all. For love we made windmills to place in our gardens, this was to remind us to love our planet, and for learn we made mini greenhouses. Lastly for look, we made ladybirds and then had a ladybird hunt around the church grounds. We are now fast approaching the end of our summer term and are planning a trip to Fowlmere Bird Reserve with a picnic. Let’s hope the weather stays fine for us. Our numbers this year have swelled to 21 with all our Rainbows having made their promise including our new young leader, Rebecca O’Brien (Daffodil) and we also have a new helper Michele Hooker (Orchid). We have enjoyed many great activities over the last two terms and it is with some sadness that a few of our Rainbows will now be moving on to
