We started with a bit of Dodge Ball to wa up

 We learnt about the life cycle of a seed

 We played a relay revision game

 And now we must wait patiently for our seeds to grow 

16 October 2013- Knotting

 

 

Blue Six chose to play Red Rover. Took us awhile to negotiate all the rules!

This was a hsitoric Grand Howl. 23 Cubs -the highest in 4 years.

 

The nest game was a new one called Postmen and Robbers.
We then went inside to do some Knotting which got so busy I didnt manage to take any photos.

9 october 2013 -Fires and Cooking

Finally it is lighter and drier so we can play out on the lawn again!

The Red Six chose to play Stuck in the Mud

Then a quick round of Fires and Flames int he hall

And we learnt the correct way to strike a match.
A quick relay game to practice 

We were taught how to build a fire..

and then got to build real fires outside.

 

 

Soon we had 4 roaring fires going...

Perfect for Smores!

11 September 2013 -Fun meeting

Today was a fun meeting so we came in civvies and could try out 3 activities.

We learnt about slack lining and were shown a few tricks..

...before trying it out ourselves.

 

There was a chance to take on the climbing wall...

 

 

And learn how to bake a cake in an orange.

Marshmallows remain the favourite...

And we CAN all apparently toast them at once.
Happy Holidays everyone!

healthy living

 

We started with a game of Eyeball....finally we could play outside again after WEEKS of rain...

 

Then we had to see how many things we could find that could fit in a matchbox...

Quite a lot!
After learning about healthy hand hygiene

 

we have lots of fun making Mr Grassheads.

This was such a busy meeting that I had very lttle time to take pictures!
We revsied out Trail Signs this week, and while the Leopards and lions built a trail in the hall, the others amde matchstick signs.

This is what the trail looked like with a torch..

and this is what they had to negotiate in the dark!
