Rainbow Romp December
2006:
Christmas Around the World
   In the morning we used fabric paint to decorate bags with Christmas designs. On the back of our bags 'Merry Christmas' was written in many different languages. We used glass paint to paint Julenisse gnomes. (These are Christmas gnomes from Norway.) In the kitchen we made St. Lucia biscuits and found out a little about how the feast of St. Lucia is celebrated in Sweden. 
 We then had a carpet picnic for lunch. After eating we learnt a French Christmas carol. Panther then told us about the naughty Yuletid lads of iceland. These are little fairy creatures that make lots of mischief at christmas time. They had stolen some of Father Christmas' things. We went out in the park to hunt for them. Father Christmas was so pleased with out help that he gave us a special gold coin each. 
 We then made Christmas pictures by scratching the surface off special paper to reveal Rainbow colours, musical Christmas cards and Poinsettia Christmas shrinkle fridge magnets and keyrings. At the end of the day we took home a booklet with information, activities and stories about different traditions around the world. 10th June 2007:
Division 20th Birthday Party
  When the Rainbows first arrived
they said hello to each other using greeting customs from different
parts of the world. The Rainbows then tried finger knitting, making
giant bubbles, collecting 20 things, following a picture trial and
making a picture from natural objects. After this the girls ate
Birthday cake and listened to a story.
  1st July 2007: Sawston Sport and Fun Day  We
were invited to take part in the Scout fun day. There was a bouncy
castle, a slide, and a simulator. In the end only one Rainbow
from our unit turned up. Hopefully she had fun anyway!
17th May 2008: GR8 Day Out!
 
  Today we joined with our whole Division for a special GR8 Day Out. We made badges, hamma beads and window decorations, we played giant games, tried some circus skills, had our faces painted and made bath salts.    Rainbow Romp July 2008: Mythical creatures   We glass painted a unicorn and
Pegasus on to glass jars, used fabric paint and felt to turn plain hand
puppets into dragons and cut mythical creatures from sticky felt to
decorate bags.
 
 We then took part in a treasure hunt, made 3D mermaid pictures from foam balls and baked and decorated fairy cakes. 
  We played party games like pass the parcel, music statues and pin the tail on the unicorn. We then ate a party tea. After our tea we had our faces painted.  |
