Beads and Rockets
Jan. 29th, 2021 09:36 pmWe've had two more zoom Brownie meetings, which continue to go well - lots of enthusiastic Brownies.
Last week Peacock led a week on friendship, what makes a good friend and what do they like doing with their friends when they're able to do so. They were then going to make friendship bracelets, but we decided that would be too complicated, so they made beaded bracelets, with packets of beads having been distributed. They all seemed happy doing it, and told various (generally fairly dire) jokes as they did so.
This week Flamingo led a session on space, and the different skills needed to launch a space shuttle. It highlighted the importance of STEM skills, but in a fun way, so there were Spot the Differences (turns out the Brownies are better at it that me!), mazes to solve, a very complicated model of a space shuttle to cut out and glue together, and then emoji maths. They all seemed to enjoy it. We had another of our Brownies join the zoom session this week, so we're up to 18, which is very good.
We continue to sing at the beginning and end of meetings, which continues to be an interesting experience, with sometimes some of them a whole line ahead of others, but never mind!
