| 2003 | |
| We started the year by sending a cheque to Milton Hospice for £150 - which we raised from our sponsored Torchlight Walk (Nov 2002). This completes another section of the Lord Lieutenant's Challenge. | |
|
We renewed our Promise together as a
unit and made promise plates as a reminder.
February brought the Chinese New Year with Goat masks and a theme evening on Teddies from South Africa . We made our own "teddies" - complete with necktie and Rainbow Badge which we took to our special Thinking Day breakfast at McDonalds (along with our "pennies"). |
|
| In May Elm & 2nd Wisbech Rainbows joined us for the Children with Leukaemia Mt Men Marathon (we raised £426). We also completed the Lord Lieutenant's Challenge by taking Rainbow Spot for a village walkabout (which we filmed). | |
| In June, as part of the Adventure Out Challenge, we joined the District outing to Park Farm, where the girls enjoyed a safari ride to see the deer. | |
| In September & October we prepared our Christmas parcel to send to our friends the Canadian Sparks (we made stars and cards), as well as preparing our mincemeat ready to take home. We also completed another part of the Adventure Out Challenge by laying a fruit & vegetable trail during our meeting. | |
|
In November we held a fire safety
meeting with bonfire biscuits with fondant icing marshmallows and
chocolate sticks (I can still taste them...)
We made Christmas gifts of calendars using our birth signs (and learnt what they represent), and filled our jars with mincemeat and decorated the lids with Christmas paper and ribbon. We completed our Adventure Out by holding an indoor Triathlon using balls, hoops, beanbags and skittles. |
|
| In December we joined the village for the Christingle/Toy Service, when our gifts are sent to children in hospital for Christmas. We also made Christmas angles to hang on our trees. On our last meeting we were joined by Elm & 2nd Wisbech Rainbow for a party, where we had a picnic tea whilst waiting for a special visitor dressed in red! | |
| 2002 | |
|
We started working towards this challenge and will complete it over the coming year. It encompasses getting involved in the local community and also finding out about it. It also involves a fundraising project for a Cambridgeshire based charity. |
|
To commemorate the Commonwealth Games in Manchester, we took part in the Spirit of Friendship Challenge, and finished the term with other Rainbows in the District at 'A Right Royal Rainbow Garden Party'. |
| During the Summer Term we started work on a 'People who help us' Challenge, set by a Gloucestershire County Rainbow Adviser. We 'met the postman' and made our own picture postcards; become 'vets' and bandaged our poorly pets - cuddly toy variety; visited the Fire Station complete with our own hat badge, and been visited by the Police. We completed the badge by meeting a nurse and designing a uniform for her. | |
| During March we made cards and gifts for Mothering Sunday and invited some Brownies to a meeting as part of the Pilot Scheme for the new Rainbow programme. We made 'woolly sheep' brooches for Easter and ended the term with an Easter Egg hunt. | |
|
In February the girls received badges to celebrate HM The Queen's 50 year reign; celebrated Shrove Tuesday with a pancake race, and Chinese New Year making cards and dragon-tails. |
|
|
We attended a District Thinking Day event called Global Connections, where the Rainbows "visited" the Gumnuts from Australia and the Pippins from New Zealand. |
