Learning & Growing 31 1st Myland Guides Skills For My Future This term we have focussed our efforts on the Skills For My Future theme. We have completed lots of the unit meeting activities as this was an area we needed more minutes. The girls have learnt about the language surrounding money and bank accounts, they have been shopping and planning a menu on a budget, creating their own pasta sauces, and learning all the jobs within a company from factory worker to HR. We have also just started the Lead Skill Builder. 30 Days Wild We signed up again for The Wildlife Trust campaign, 30 Days Wild where we complete wild themed activities throughout the whole of June. Pawprint Badges again partnered with The Wildlife Trusts to produce a beautiful badge once the girls have completed the activities and part of the sale of the badges benefits The Wildlife Trusts at the same time. We had a beautiful walk through Cymbelline Meadows, where I helped the girls ID lots of different flora and fauna. They were shown how to use the iNaturalist and Merlin bird ID app – worth a download! A little early for 30DW, but we were taken on a nature walk by Nicky Payne from Essex Wildlife Trust through West House Woods to see the Bluebells and to learn about all the work they are undertaking there to keep the ancient woodland in tip top condition. Coronation Activities We spent an evening or two working on activities surrounding the coronation, the girls even made their own recycled throne out of cardboard. Outdoor Activities As always, we had a trip over to the recreation ground to play a game of caterpillar rounders. It’s always a fun evening for girls and leaders alike. Next week for our last meeting we will be heading to Mersea to the Guiding owned beach hut for some games on the beach and a kite-making session.
