Badges, pins, awards and prizes

Tonight we celebrated our year together.

We had a soccer theme and we walked to pick up our happy meals. Inside each box was a squishmallow in a team jersey. We tried the Tim Bits representing four of the FIFA countries.

We gave out special patches to those who helped sell cookies at Michael’s. We gave a special camper award to Lucy for selling 20 cases of cookies. She will be going to Camp Olave this summer.

We gave away a few prizes and used the prize wheel to do so.

Have a great summer everyone.

A walk in the woods

 Even though the weather was cold and a bit wet, we went for a walk in wood! 

We learned to identify both evergreen trees or one with leaves. We learned about the forest in Pacific Spirit Park and even ate some new shoots!

Everyone who attended will earn a BC Girl Guides challenge parch! 

Cookout

 Our busy cookout had us learn to -

Cook over charcoal.

Make jam and cook it over a propane stove.

Grill vegetables on a bbq grill.

Make bannock and make s’mores!

Here’s some photos…

Woodland creatures and ….

 This week we created our woodland creatures! 

A  lmk so we learned about hiking trail signs and we will practice this outside in the future.

We discussed what we needed to wear and bring on our forest walk.

We ended with a very short campfire. 

BC Guides Tree-mendous Challenge Badge

This week we started our new challenge all about trees.
We did a nature search game outside before learning about the way trees grow.
We learned to read tree rings and tried to figure out why our trees might have grown a lot or a little and under which conditions this might occur. We talked about weather, fires and other natural reasons for different types of growth. 

We also learned to HUG A TREE and SURVIVE!
We watched a video and then coloured a fact sheet about the things you need to do to survive when lost in the woods. 

Here is our first craft from this week.

  

May the Fourth

Tonight we had a Star Wars Night.

We heard music and tried to decide which which character it represented. 

We played a game where we needed to move the planet with our water blaster!

We hunted for Kinder Eggs and then used phones to learn about our characters by using phone apps. 

We painted with edible silver powder a Death Star cookie.

We ended with Grogru drink and a

character cake. 

Storm Drain marking

 This week, to end our Earth Week Part 2, we did some planting of nasturtium seeds. When these seeds germinate they will produce edible flowers! The second type of seeds we also planted were sunflowers. 

Then we went outside and marked storm drains. By marking the drain we hope we it reminds people not to pour anything except water down the drain.  We marked drains in teams and everyone got to paint at least one drain.
