Narnia Pack Holiday (Summer 2006) This year we had a joint Pack Holiday with 5th Rainham Brownies
at Pax Wood Hall. We voted for 'Narnia' as our theme. Our sixes were
Hags, Wolves, Foxes, Fawns and Unicorns.
The adults were Aslan, The White Witch, Mr Tumnus, Maugrim and Mrs
Beaver. We also has a Pack Leader called Queen Lucy and a Young Leader
called Queen Susan.
 After meeting the "evacuees" from 4th Cambridge we had a drink and biscuit. We then played a game where we collected wardrobes to help us learn the names of everyone in our six. We then played hide and seek. During the game Mr Tumnus took a Brownie off to Narnia. We had to work out who was missing. In our sixes we then went outside to collect 7 symbols. Each symbol represented a book in the Narnia chronicles. We had to put them in the correct order to reveal the winning word.    We then had free time (several of us went to the adventure playground) whilst the Kitchen maids and Parlour maids layed the table and cooked dinner. We ate jacket potato or smiley faces and pizza. For afters we had chocolate sponge and custard. 
  After dinner we made fridge magnets. We traced Narnia pictures onto Shrinkle paper and coloured them in. These were then put in the oven to shrink, and magnets stuck to the back of them. We then split into groups to make Aslan from salt dough or hamma beads, White Witch masks and Narnia scenes painted onto glass.   
We then had showers, drank hot chocolate or flavoured milk and ate a biscuit. Finally we went up to the Diary Room to watch "The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe". After this we went straight to sleep (ha, ha). 
  After a continental breakfast and our duties we made Narnian purses from craft foam and pipe cleaners. 
  We then finished off our crafts from last
night.
     After a lovely roast dinner and Vienetta we
played
a wide game. Each six were given "a message" (a raw egg) that they had
to give to Aslan. Unfortunately no-one knew where Aslan was, so we had
to talk to different Narnian characters, gain their trust and find out
whether they had seen Aslan. When we had everyone's information about
Aslan we could work out where he was going to be and deliver the
message. We helped Mrs Beaver to rebuild her dam, made pan-pipes with
Mr Tumnus, translated an ancient prophecy with the Witch's servant,
helped to find the fairy Queen's children, made a spell with an old hag
and got past the Witch's polar bear to consult her magic mirror.
   We had a picnic tea on the grass and then dipped fruit into a chocolate fountain. Later in the evening we took part in a quiz. After the quiz we walked over to the field for a camp fire. We sang lots of songs before returning for showers and a drink. We watched a performance by three of our Brownies and at 1 am we had a midnight feast.    On Monday morning we had a cooked breakfast. We then packed our bags and got ready to go to the park. Unfortunately the rides were shut (as it had been raining) but we went in the paddling pool. 
 We rode bikes, went on the bouncy castle and
played on the adventure playground.
    We also had a ride on the train.
   Since it wasn't very nice weather we went back to the hall for a lunch of sausage rolls, chicken nuggets, cocktail sausages, rolls, crisps, salad, fruit and chocolate bars. 
  We then gave out badges. Everyone gained
their Pack Holiday Badge, Cooks Badge and Craft Badge.
Finally we sang Brownie Bells and returned back through the wardrobe.  |
