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.
