Spring Term 2005

This term we gained our Entertainer badge.
Some Brownies also gained their Dancer badge.

10th January: Dragon Quest

  

Each team had to work together to defeat a series of dragons and collect their gold. We followed dragon tracks and collected the dragon's eggs, found food to feed to dragon, navigated a labyrinth without disturbing the sleeping dragon, defended ourselves against an angry dragon, collected the ingredients for a spell to protect against a further dragon and made a fierce dragon to scare away the final dragon. The Leprechauns won the game!
17th January: US pen-pals



We started the meeting by playing Motherhen and Wee-willy-winky. We then wrote letters to our Californian pen-pals and made them a photo frame. After that we listened to a tape they had sent us. At the end of the meeting Hedgehog taught as a new song called Princess Pat.
24th January: Games and Practice for Thinking Day

   

We started the meeting by playing Pirates. We then learnt 3 songs from the U.S. and an Indian dance for our Thinking Day celebration. We ended the meeting by playing Fishes and singing 'Everywhere we Go'.
31st January: Cooking Pancakes and Practice for Thinking Day



We started the meeting by cooking pancakes over candles (yes we know pancake day isn't until next week, but we won't have time next week!). We then split into two groups and learnt a new Indian dance and started work on a puppet show.
7th February: Practice for Thinking Day

We practiced our two dances and puppet show. We then watched each other perform and sang our Thinking Day songs. At the end of the meeting two Brownies made their promise and our oldest Brownie recieved her 3rd Birthday badge.
21st February: Games, practising and cake

We started the meeting by playing Wee Willy Winky. We then practised our Thinking Day performance. At the end of the meeting we looked at some of the things our American pen-pals had sent us and recieved World Thinking Day cakes and Stickers.
28th February: Thinking Day Performance

We invited the Guides and parents to watch our Thinking Day performance. Our play was about a Brownie called Anna who didn't understand the meaning of the song 'We all sing with the same voice'. Her magical Young Leader flew her off to different parts of the world; she sang songs with American Girl Scouts, watched a shadow puppet show in Indonesia and danced with Indian Brownies. In the end she returned home to her own Pack and sang 'We all sing with the same voice', having learnt that although children in different parts of the world are different in some respects, we all have a lot in common. After the play we sold refreshments to raise money for the WAGGGS Tsunami relief fund. We raised £17.98.
7th March: Chinese themed meeting - part I

Orange wish throw Good turn gift packet Willow pattern plate

We started the meeting by writing a good turn Gift and making a wish orange to throw. We then played Mother Hen, Lame Chicken and Dragon's Tail. After the games we listened to the story behind the Willow pattern and painted our own, drew chinese good luck messages on chop sticks and started to make a dragon puppet. At the end of the meeting our newest Brownie made her promise.

14th March: Chinese themed meeting - part II



We started the meeting by finishing our dancing dragons and trying a Chinese horoscope wordsearch. We then had a pow-wow to decide on a name for our Pack Leader - Badger and awarded one of our Brownies the Oak badge. After the pow-wow we played Motherhen, made fortune cookies and ate rice, noodles, a spring roll and chips with chopsticks. We then played a quick game of fishes. We forgot to play the tangram game Panther had brought - so we'll have to do that another time!
21st March: Easter Eggstravanganza



We started the meeting with an Easter egg hunt. We then played egg cracking, egg bowling and egg passing. After the games we painted a blown egg and made Easter cards to send to our pen-pals. We finished the meeting by playing egg catching.
