They were doing things such as what to do if they had a gas or water leak or of there was an electrical failure in the building. How to protect the home from crime. Know how to make an emergency telephone call, including using mobile telephones, to call the emergency services. Know where the nearest public telephone box is to your house, or where you can make an emergency call should their phone be out of action. Also make a list of useful emergency numbers. Last week we were learning how to map read and thinking of different things that the cubs could collect to obtain their badges. Then the other group were with Pari discussing what different things that they would like to collect so that they can obtain their badge. we began the night we a game of cardboard pancake flipping. We then rearranged them into their new sixes as we have a few new cubs. we then split them into their sixes and then did the Grand Howl. They were then split into their sixes to do the nights activities which was practicing for the up coming Cub Factor and Making Pancakes. One group was finding facts out about Haiti like where it is and how many people live their and about the incident that had happened. Another group was with Pari discussing different things that they would like to do to help raise money for Haiti. Then the last last group were with Jake thinking and preparing acts for the Cub factor, we had a range of different things such as puppet shows, jokes, silly dances and more. then in the final half and hour they did a practice of some of the acts in front of everyone. For the Global Challenge badge tonight we were doing recycling and energy, environmental. To start off we did a relay game with plastic, cardboard and paper they had to pick up bits of the items and then out them in the correct box. Then the they all split in to their sixes to do the activities, one group were making worm farms in plastic boxes, with danny and Pari, then another group were seeing where in the Hut was not very energy efficient. then the last group they were making either the eiffel tower or the leaning tower of pisa out of cardboard and plastic, to begin with they were going to create a 3D then that wasn't working so they just made them on the floor. At the end we invested 3 new cubs into the section, so welcome to Felix, William and Thomas. We also had a new person join the group, so welcome Ellis to the group. Tonight we also split all of the cubs in to their new sixes and appointed the new sixers and seconders. We then were doing different activities in the new sixes, one group was doing thing with food, from different countries. Then the other two groups were making flags, one group was making the French flag with Pari and Charlotte and putting different cultural things down on the sheet then the other group were making the indian flag with me and danny and putting different cultural aspects such Namaskar which is the hello and goodbye gesture in India. we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The Cubs were well out numbered by the beavers, with their only being 8 of them compared to the beavers 20, but they still all seemed to have fun and make a lot of noise. As we were having a joint night we all participated in each others opening/ Closing ceremonies. There was a series of games, which involved a spoon attached to string attached to a spoon and then they 4 teams had to race to get the spoon through one arm then out of the other with all of their team members, then they had a game of pass the parcel, with several different parcels going round at a time, we didn't quite have a good selection of music due to none of the buttons working on the stereo. Then after all of the games it was time for the food, and some dancing from some of the cubs. This was the activity that we chose for the cubs for their christmas activity. The cubs enjoyed one game bowling then had their meal then had their second game, but most of them decided that they wanted to go and play on the simulation games, so it was left to a few people on each team to play the rest of the games. One group were making Christmas cards with Danny and Stuart out of card and then were sticking foam shapes on the front of the cards. another group were making reindeer hats with Phil and Jo out of card and then decorating them to look like reindeer's. The last group were painting pictures pictures of Father Christmas, Angels, Snowmen or Reindeer's with Jake and Pari. One group were making compasses with Jake and Pari, this involved a small piece of cork, a sewing needle, a cup of water and a normal compass. To make a compass they had to get the small piece of cork and the needle and out the needle though the middle of the cork all the way through to the other end, then they had to get the normal compass and see where Magnetic north is, then rub the end of the needle on a magnet then place it into the cup of water, this should then make the end of the magnet point to magnetic north. Another group were making hot air balloons with crepe paper and a hair dryer, this involved shaping the crepe paper into a balloon and then putting the hair dryer underneath and then letting it float down. The last group were making fire a fire by rubbing wire wool on a battery and then setting a cotton wool ball. one group creating pictures of different planets on coloured card. another were creating space men, by cutting out the different parts and colouring them in then selotaping them together. then the last group were creating star constellations, they were doing this by using the cardboard from a toilet roll then putting holes in a square piece of card in the shape of a star constellation then taping it to the end of the card tube and looking at it so that you can see the constellation. Making crape paper poppies and creating a poppy field and writing quotes next too them with Jake and Pari. then making silhouettes of soldiers on some big sheets of paper, with Jo and Phill. another group made Friendship bracelets with Danny and Stuart. One group were making chocolate bonfires, they were made from small bits of mint flavoured match sticks that were crossed over to make a fire base and then were covered in red icing to make the fire. Another group were making chocolate sparklers, which were made from chocolate fingers and then dipped in red icing and then covered in hundreds and thousands. One group were making paintings of bonfires, then making different painting of fireworks with metallic paint and glitter. the last group were playing a Mars bar game, not quite sure what that had to do with bonfire night but they all seemed to having fun playing it regardless. At the end of the night we invested some new members into the group. The website will be updated now as frequently as possible. |
