Cubs at The Countryside Centre

Another week coming up in our new home at the Countryside Centre.  (Next week is at St. Nicholas’ Church Barn.)

This week we’ll be looking at the Naturalist Badge, and it will be our first opportunity to get out in the wonderful woods we now have on our doorstep!

We’re back!

A great start to the Summer term.  We had lots of fun starting the athletics badge in cubs.  We learnt about stretching before and after exercise, then we had a quick run around.

The Beavers played some games and got to know our new members.  I enjoyed Whack-a-Kipper the best!

Air Activity

The Beavers and Cubs have been building paper air planes as part of their Air Activity badge.  We’ve build a Nakamura Lock and The Hurricane.  The Nakamura Lock flew really well, but The Hurricane was very difficult to throw.

Space

We’ve been learning about space in Cubs over the last couple of weeks.  The Cubs did some brilliant research and learnt some great things about planets, black holes and comets.

Hopefully, the weather will be clear enough for us to get out and find some constellations soon!

Prepare to Hike!

This week at Beavers we learnt about packing a bag for a day trip in the great big outdoors.  We decided that ice cream was probably not a good thing to pack, but you probably need sun cream on a hot day!

We then packed a bag and went off on a hike around the room – it was all great fun.
