1st Meldreth Rainbows www.girlguiding.org.uk Our recent unit meetings have been busy and fun-filled. The new Rainbows have settled into the group very well, and all have chosen to make their Rainbows Promise this term. We are currently focusing on developing skills to make changes, to understand the importance of change and to identify changes the girls would like to see. Some of our fun activities included painting pebbles of joy, thinking about who can help us in our local area, re-creating stories and charity challenges. Set the Story Straight As a group we discussed traditional tales and how there is often a bad character with a negative outcome. Together, we re-created the story of Goldilocks, but in our version, she walked into The Three Panda’s house where Goldilocks ate the pandas’ pancakes, sat in their bean bags and slept in their hammocks. Instead of being chased out of the house, Goldilocks was invited to join the Pandas for a tea party, and they became friends. Charity Challenges The girls discussed what a charity is and how they have helped support charities. We held a ‘backwards bake sale’ where the girls donated money to purchase icing and decorations to decorate cupcakes. This activity was thoroughly enjoyed and the cake to decoration ratio certainly leaned in favour of the decorations. The girls all agreed the money donated should be put towards the new Rainbows Unit. We have lots planned for the second half of the term and look forward to sharing more soon.
