33 Learning & Growing 1st Myland Guides It’s been a busy term here at 1st Myland Guides! The really exciting stuff is that Bracken and Isabella have both received Jack Petchey awards. Isabella’s award went towards an Escape room evening in January. Bracken’s is going towards an evening of fun at Mersea Boating Lake next term. We have also awarded a bronze award to Bethany & Aimee and a Silver award to Amelia. Well done girls! We are currently running capacity with 24 girls; two new girls started this term, but we’ve had two leavers this term too, so we’ll be welcoming some new girls in April. As the nights are darker in the Spring term, we take the opportunity to do quite a lot of work on the guiding programme. This has involved penguin races, comparing DNA, healthy cooking, science experiments, coping with peer pressure and much more. The girls have worked on lots of interest badges too, which all helps them achieve their theme awards and work towards their bronze, silver and gold awards. We spent two weeks learning cross-stitch too, which many girls have continued at home now they know what to do. We had help from Esther from Trefoil Guild too, as with 24 girls there’s a lot of helping with needle threading and getting started. It was lovely seeing them busying themselves learning a new skill whilst chatting to friends.
