1st Melbourn Rainbows This year we have had many exciting and varied activities plus two UK Girl Guiding Centenary events for the girls to enjoy. We began the term with paper plane making! The girls were given a basic design of plane to make and then created their own. It was great fun watching them flying around the room and the paper planes as well! Then it was time to work on our new badge. Every year we work towards a roundabout badge, whereby the girls have to complete for activities based on love, laugh, learn and look. One of the activities chosen by the girls was a pyjama party. Everyone put on their pyjamas (even the leaders), brought their favourite bear and we played games, read bedtime stories and drank hot chocolate. We joined the other Melbourn District Rainbow, Brownie and Guide units to celebrate the UK Girl Guiding Centenary at Meldreth Primary School. Each unit organised an activity based on a decade within the last 100 years, ours was Rock ‘n’ Roll dancing in the 1950’s. Our Young Leader, Joanne Evans, choreographed a dance for us all to learn. We had a fantastic day enjoying
many different activities and meeting new friends, culminating with a BBQ. To enjoy the lovely weather, an evening of football was organised and run by Jordan Marin. The girls were a little apprehensive about this activity as some of them had never played football before, but Jordan encouraged us by playing some football games and we were soon in the football spirit. A great evening, which I know the girls want to do again. During July we also attended Race 100, which was a County Centenary event held at Newmarket Race Course. 100 different activities were organised for us to enjoy. Unfortunately we couldn’t get around to them all, but the ones we did, we thoroughly enjoyed. For our end of term event we went ‘Wet and Wild’. We enjoyed lots of games on the moor including lots of water ones where we got a little wet. At the start of the new autumn term we had 3 new Rainbows join us and now have 22 Rainbows. We are looking forward to numerous activities, but the main one for us is the UK Girl Guiding Centenary finale. Unfortunately our girls are a little young to end the finale at Ely Cathedral, but we organised our own party at All Saints’ Church, Melbourn and renewed our promise along with the whole of the UK at 20:10 on Wednesday 20th October 2010. There have been many wonderful activities over the last year to celebrate the UK Girl Guiding Centenary and we have enjoyed but a few. Some of us may not be around to celebrate the 200th birthday, but we look forward to being part of girl guiding during the next 100 years.
