The Nether Kellet Brownies have been working on their Charity and Make a Difference badges and have created a fantastic video to support the village in raising funds for a new playground in the village! If anyone would like to donate to the cause, please email info@netherkellet.com. We have some way to go to meet our target and would love to have your support.
Another busy term for Rainbows and Brownies! Rainbows have been busy working on their First Aid badge and held a hospital for teddies – learning lots of useful skills along the way. Brownies have been busy working on their Charity and Influencer badges by doing some fundraising and promotion for NK Play. They have created a video and written a song which we will be sharing in order to spread the message about the village fundraising for our new playground.
On 8th October, most of our Brownies joined us at Silver Sapling campsite to enjoy a special Viking Day. The girls were able to learn how to cook Viking food, and loved painting shields and learning how to fight like a Viking warrior! We also enjoyed a special Viking display from the Crux De Noix Viking re-enactment group which was fantastic. The day ended with all of the Brownies renewing their promise – promising this time to ‘serve the King’. I also officially received my leadership qualification!
For the rest of 2022 we will be continuing with our badge work and are very much looking forward to singing some Christmas carols at the |Christmas Bingo event. Many thanks to all those who have helped us to run sessions this year and we look forward to exciting times, with more and fun to be had in January!
We were delighted to welcome our Brownies and Rainbows back to our Thursday night sessions after the long summer break. This term, Brownies are going to be working on ‘Making a Difference’ by supporting charities. The main charity we will be supporting this term is NK Play and the girls have lots of ideas about how they can raise much needed funds to improve the Nether Kellet playground. We have some fantastic ideas and will be sharing these with you soon (keep an eye out for our promotional video and song in the next few weeks!). The girls have also been bringing in pyjamas for the wonderful ‘Children’s Hospital Pyjamas’ charity which you can read about elsewhere in this edition.
We have decided this term to divide the Brownies into ‘Sixes’ (Leprechauns, Pixies and Sprites) with each six developing independent skills and having the opportunity for some friendly competition! We announced the roles of ‘Sixers’ (Lily, Rose and Aoife) and ‘Seconders’ (Autumn, Emme and Juliet) and we are sure that there will be lots of fun to be had! Rainbows had followed suit and we now have the ‘Unicorns’ and ‘Mermaids’!
We are also looking forward to taking the Brownies to a special ‘Viking Day’ at Silver Sapling campsite in October and will have lots to share about this in the next edition of Round and About!
