Under the Stars!

Since our last blog at the start of December, there have been several changes to our unit. With lockdowns taking effect, both groups in our Brownie unit have now been forced to move to meeting online. This hasn’t stopped the fun however as we have had fantastic visitors join our online sessions as well as a very successful ‘Under the Stars’ virtual Christmas sleepover.

At the end of the autumn term, we were joined by volunteers from Dogs for Good who told us about the incredible work they do, training dogs to support people with a variety of needs. The visit culminated in the unit sponsoring a gorgeous puppy called Ariel and we are looking forward to following how she gets on with her training. The volunteers at Dogs for Good also helped to judge our dog show of incredible dogs the Brownies had created at home using a toilet roll tubes.

The highlight of the term however was our virtual Christmas sleepover. We had lots of games such as wrapping teddy bears as snowmen using toilet rolls, making Christmas crackers and we even had some quite amusing time-delayed Christmas Carols. The sleepover would not have been complete however without a visit from Santa who ‘Zoomed’ with us from the North Pole.
