Dydd Santes Dwynwen Hapus.

This evening the Brownies chose to celebrate the Welsh equivalent to St Valentines day which will be celebrated on January 25th 2020. They wanted to make daffodils to mark the event.

Every flower was unique and they did a great job in being creative.  We sang some songs and even composed a verse for Dydd Santes Dwynwen.

There will be no Brownies for two weeks (due to work commitments). See you on February the 10th for a Valentines disco.

The girls can come along dressed in Red and bring a red themed party plate of food too. This is another activity that they voted for this term.

Spring Term 2020

This evening we had a planning session and played indoor rounders which was great fun!

See you all next week,

Brown Owl and Snowy Owl.

Welcome back!

It was so lovely to see the girls this evening and to welcome our new brownies.

Please find below a copy of the Autumn Term Newsletter.

They decided this evening that their Christmas party would by a Christmas pyjama themed one!

I have had to take off the bank account information for obvious reasons. Please ask if you need it and I can provide it via private messaging.

I'll update the blog with photographs from this evening tomorrow.

See you all next week

Brownie Activity Day. 

This event is happening on the Tuesday of October half term- the 29th Oct. 

If you’d like your child to attend the cost is £5 per brownie. If there’s enough interest then I’m happy to take the Brownies along. Please let me know as soon as possible as I need to know the numbers to book the tickets.

Bring along £5 next week. 

Thanks 

Brown Owl. 

Brownie Investiture.

All the brownies who are being invested next week need to know their promise and law. They will be saying it in front of others so please practise it with them so they are confident. 

Many thanks,

Brown Owl. 

Interest badges.

The girls were very proud to show and discuss everything they had done towards their interest badges tonight. We have learned lots about dancing, gardening and mindfulness. Well done everyone. 

See you all next week for our final meeting- award ceremony and investiture. Parents and families are invited to join us at 6:45pm. 

Brown Owl. 

Lots of unit making activities tonight.

Tonight we had a carousel of activities...

We worked on how to read a dogs behaviour and deal with them appropriately. 

We also worked on what is appropriate personal space?

And how to react in a sticky situation using the strategy of S.T.O.P- stop and breathe, think, observe what’s around you and plan. 

There was lots of discussion and great ideas. 

Badges.

Please bring evidence of the interest badges that have been done at home to our next weeks meeting. I know that the girls are very excited about what they have been doing towards gaining either their dance, mindfulness or grow your own badge. 

Many thanks,

Brown Owl.
