Learning & Growing Our annual wide game made a re-appearance in October where we play essentially a huge game of tag in a wide-open space at night – the girls always love this. We returned to Zoom for one week, as we had another visit from Jumping Clay to teach us how to make air drying Christmas decorations. We also made paper baubles, which we then hung on the tree at the church. We took both 1st and 2nd Myland Guides camping to Thorrington for the first time in several years for a Christmas themed camp. We tried our hand at archery, as well as making lots of different Christmas crafts. A few weeks later we also took part in the Remembrance Day parade along the High Street; it felt like a very special ceremony to be part of. Our final trip of the year was a visit to the cinema to watch Encanto, the new Disney film. At the end of the term, we were very proud to be able to award our first Bronze award to Rachel, for completing two of the theme awards from our Girlguiding programme. Lizzy Steward 1st Myland Guides 2nd Myland Brownies We are really enjoying returning to a new kind of normality, now that we are able to meet back at the hall with the Brownies. The girls seem to be really enjoying working together again in their small groups and completing lots of activities, challenges and badges. Last term we enjoyed learning about subjects as diverse as languages, ballet, food testing (value vs top brand) and made our own golf course from junk modelling! We had a visit from a Girlguiding Peer Educator, where we spent the evening challenging gender stereotypes. We went to the cinema to see Disney Encanto, (which must have been good because none of the 16 girls asked to visit the toilets during the film!) In the spring term we are working on the “Skills for my future” theme and are excited to be off to Thorrington for a sleepover with our eldest Brownies. Sam Borroff Brown Owl 27
