Learning & Growing 2nd Myland Brownies We have had a great time outdoors over the summer term. In June we went on our annual trip to McLauchlans’ fruit farm, where the Brownies enjoyed picking (and eating!) strawberries. We were picking the “Hapil” variety, which are freakily shaped and had a great time trying to find the weirdest shape. We also explored the farm and learnt about what else is grown there. In July we joined in with Braiswick District Girlguiding for a weekend of adventurous activities at Essex Outdoors on East Mersea. We did climbing, caving, high ropes, archery and an assault course, as well as crafts and a campfire sing-along on the beach. It was pretty special seeing around 180 members of Girlguiding, from 5 - 60+ years, all singing along to the same songs and looking out to sea. We were blessed with hot sunny weather, but it did make the overnight in the sleeping huts pretty sweaty! To finish off our term we had a summer party with ice-cream and donuts and said goodbye to our two leavers who are moving up to Guides, now they are 10. Sam Borroff Brown Owl 29
