1st Melbourn Brownies
Over the last year we have been working on our Big Brownie Birthday Challenge and our Circus Skills badge. We have been doing various activities towards these badges. Also, at the end of last term, we had a barbecue that all of the parents were invited to.
Some examples of what we have done towards our Big Brownie Birthday challenge are making Thinking Day cards and pasta photo frames. As well, we had an International Evening. I ran the International Evening and this helped me achieve my Baden-Powell award (the highest award a guide can get). During the evening the Brownies got the chance to try loads of different foods from other countries. They learnt some facts about each country, like what their Brownies are called.
Also, one week we ran an evening for the Rainbows. In the weeks running up to that evening Amelia, one of the other guide helpers, taught all of the Brownies a dance that they performed to the Rainbows, which went really well. The Brownies planned lots of other activities for the Rainbows, which were equally successful. Also, later on in the year we made fake wounds and we went to a district event called Rosebuds’ Rally, because Brownies used to be called Rosebuds.
Recently, we have been working on our circus skills badge. In the first week of working on this badge, we all tried plate spinning. We tried lots of different methods and techniques in plate spinning, with varying levels of success. In the next week, continuing the circus theme, we made some treats that you might find as refreshments at a circus. We made cake pops. It went really well, despite not everyone being great at the forming of the cake pops.
We also had our own mini circus. We all had our face painted, which looked amazing. Every Brownie painted at least one person’s face. Then we all performed to each other. It included gymnastics, stilt walking, dancing and clowning.
