Term 2006
19th April: Space We looked at pictures of planets and nebula.
We then made constellation telescopes, puppet aliens and 'stain glass' space pictures. At the end of the meeting we sang Alice the Camel and Cuddly Koalas. 26th April: African Safari We started the meeting by playing Lions and
Wildebeast.
We then ate exotic fruit with the Lemurs of Madagascar, made sand camel pictures in Morocco, played grassland animal pairs in Tanzania and made penguin masks in South Africa. 3rd May: Adventure
Out Badge - Fire!
At the start of the meeting we played What's the time Vampire. We
then made edible bonfires, cooked smores over candles, made fire safety
candles and tried fire safety crosswords and wordsearches. Those who
finished also coloured in a fire safety poster. At the end of the
meeting we had an imaginery camp fire round our edible bonfires. We
listened to stories (The Useless Troll and The Worst Monster) and sang Pizza Hut and learnt a new
song
called Boom Chick.
10th May: Adventure Out Badge - Water! We began by making pom-pom frogs. We then
played a team game in which we put together a jigsaw of a pond. We then
played a game called Fishes
and went outside to hunt for star fish. We then had water races. At the
end of the meeting we learnt some new songs - Crazy Elephant and Auntie Monica. We
also
sang Boom Chick
and Pizza Hut.
17th May: Adventure Out Badge - Air! We began by making pencil cases with birds
on them. We then played a relay race that involved blowing through a
straw. After this Panther showed us some 'magical' science experiments
that used air (and we tried two of our own). We then made a teddy
parachute.
7th June: Adventure Out Badge - Earth! As we arrived we coloured pictures of
woodland animals. We then made mud cups, pictures from natural objects
and plaster casts of animal tracks.
14th June: Round About the World - Look! We looked at photographs of camouflaged
animals. We then went outside in teams to look for red, yellow and
green wool. We found lots of red wool, a little yellow wool, but no
green wool because it was too well camouflaged! We then made puppet
theatres for camouflaged aliens. At the end of the meeting we listened
to a story about a chameleon.
21st June: Round About the World - Laugh! At the start of the meeting we sang 'Oh I wish I was a Little Round
Orange', 'Alice the Camel'
and 'Three Little Angels'.
We
then played the Bean game.
After this we made pet spiders, sparkley spider webs, edible spiders
and played a spider game. At the end of the meeting we sand 'Crazy Elephant' and 'Auntie Monica'.
28th June: Round About the World - Learn! This week we had a visit from the Reptile
Experience. We held snakes, lizards, a tortoise and a chameleon. At the
end of the meeting we sang lots of songs.
5th July: Round About the World - Love! This week we learn about the WWF's Rainbow
Covenant. We made a 'tweak my beak' energy saver owl to fit over our
light switch at home. We also made a colourful bracelet and played Please Mr Vampire.
12th July: Pirate
Promise Party
We came dressed as pirates. After our new Rainbows made their promise we played N-S-E-W. We then rolled cannons at ships, played pin the flag on the ship, guessed where the treasure was and made parrots and eye patches. At the end of the meeting we ate some yummy party food. |
