33 Learning & Growing 1st Myland Guides When I wrote my last report, we had just had our penultimate meeting of the term and finished the summer with a trip to a beach hut at Mersea, where we made kites and flew them along the shore. So far this term we’ve only had two meetings, but we have welcomed six new girls to our unit, so are back to capacity again. We have chosen to work on the ‘Be Well’ theme this term, which does exactly what it describes. This covers exercise, eating healthily, sports and mindfulness activities. Last week we had the girls choose their favourite meal, take away an ingredient for it and add something healthy. Then then chose their favourite ‘new dish’ and created a menu in preparation for a few weeks’ time where they are going to put these into practice and actually cook them. Tomorrow night we are going to go to a CrossFit session at a Colchester gym to get the girls to try a new type of sport. They’re keeping it open just for Guides so I’m sure they’ll all come home tired.
