8th September: Parrots
and Pack Holiday Video  Tonight we began by making balancing parrots. We then played Fishes and had a pow-wow to organise our new sixes. We then ate the left over midnight feast food from pack holiday whilst watching the pack holiday video that we made. 15th
September: Working in our Sixes
  As
we arrived we chose a craft to try from the odds and ends box. We then
played 'shapes' in our sixes. Can you guess what shapes we were making
in the photos above? (Check the picture properties for the answer.)
After this we listened to two brownie stories. We used them as
inspiration to decorate our six time boards.
22nd September: Dough
Modelling
   During six time we worked from
our new six time boxes. The Gnomes had the 'pirate' box, the
Leprechauns had the 'tangles' box and the Pixies had the 'under the
sea' box. Each box contains crafts, games and a six challenge based on
the theme. After six time we played Squirrels and then mixed up some
salt dough and made models for the rest of the meeting.
29th September: Hedgehog Cakes
  After six time we had a pow-wow
to decide whether we would like to wear neckers. We voted to wear them
and choose blue as our colour. We then played Motherhen and made
hedgehog cakes.
6th October: Fairyland
Adventure Game
After six time we journeyed to
'fairyland'. However - the fairy creatures we met were not the
friendly, wish granting kind but those from the old legends who try to
steal and (sometimes) eat children! Our mission was to meet six types
of fairy creature and manage to escape them.
13th October: High School Musical themed
evening
   After six time we made Sharpay
style glasses, High School Musical jigsaw puzzles, pop-out cards and
puzzles. One group performed a dance and song from the musical.
20th October: American
Friendship Evening
After six time and a game we
spent the evening making gifts to send to a unit in the USA. We made
union flags from hama beads, brownie SWAPS from shrinkles, and English
flags from small beads on safety pins.
30th -
31st October: Halloween Sleepover
   We
made lots of Halloween crafts, played Halloween games, held a sparkler
and had a midnight feast. For further details see our holidays section.
3rd and 10th November: Circus Skills Workshop   Activities
included making juggling balls, painting a clown's face on ourselves
(or someone else), learning how to spin plates, and trying to unicycle,
juggle, and use a Diabolo.
17th November: Circus Skills and Entertaining In small groups we performed
the circus entertainments we had prepared. We then auditioned for parts
in a brownie pantomime.
24th November: Practising a Pantomime After
our usual six time and a game we split into groups to learn the words,
songs and dances for a brownie pantomime.
1st and 8th December: Making Christmas Decorations and Plays As well as the usual six time and games
we made lots of Christmas decorations and performed parts of our
pantomine. (We didn't manage to perform the finished panto to our
parents as lots of people were away sick.)
15th December: End of Term Party   We
played lots of silly Christmas and winter themed games (including
turning a member of each six into a snowman). We then ate lots of yummy
party food.
