Tonight we learnt about shadows, and how an explorer can use them to navigate. @GirlguidingMcr @Girlguiding_NWE @Girlguiding

[4thDidsburyRainbows @4thDidsRainbows]

We had a great meeting this evening learning about famous explorers and adventurers - maybe one of our Rainbows is a future Amelia Earhart, Junko Tabei, or @AnnaMcNuff? @Girlguiding_NWE @GirlguidingMcr @Girlguiding_UK

We built robots last night at our Zoom meeting. We decided that we would make 'chef' robots, and all the girls had fantastic ideas!

[4thDidsburyRainbows @4thDidsRainbows]

We're back face to face! The girls - and leaders - were so excited!

Our healthy Easter nest snacks were yummy! And we made cute paper Easter bunnies too. What a fun end of term! And you never know... we might actually get to meet in person next term! @Girlguiding_NWE @Girlguiding @GirlguidingMcr

Our brilliant Rainbows each did a short talk last night as part of their Communicate Skills Builder - we heard about Elvis the dog, Alfie the cat, camping, a new bedroom and lots of amazing toys! It was excellent girls, thank you!

Happy Lunar (Chinese) New Year from 4th Didsbury Rainbows! We had a great time tonight making lanterns to celebrate. We also celebrated Polly making her promise - congratulations! @Girlguiding @Girlguiding_NWE @GirlguidingMcr

We were back at (online) Rainbows last night, and the girls listened very carefully to guess the sounds in Lightning's Listening Game. And the leaders listened to what the girls would like to do this term - some great ideas Rainbows! @Girlguiding_NWE @GirlguidingMcr @Girlguiding

Party night! Musical faces game, banana snowmen to eat, Rainbow promises made and one Pot of Gold girl moving on to Brownies. What a great end to 2020 for 4th Didsbury Rainbows, have a fabulous Christmas and New Year! @Girlguiding_NWE @Girlguiding @GirlguidingMcr

[4thDidsburyRainbows @4thDidsRainbows]

In the spirit of 2020, we made Christmas decorations out of toilet roll tubes! They looked beautiful, well done Rainbows 🌈 @Girlguiding_NWE @Girlguiding @GirlguidingMcr

Some important people are on the Blue Plaques we made this week - including our teachers, Amelia Earhart, Cleopatra and Aunty Faye (she's kind, and bakes cakes). Even two of our Rainbows themselves. All brilliant ideas from the girls! @Girlguiding @Girlguiding_NWE @GirlguidingMcr

This week every Rainbow got their own pack of cards - we learnt about suits and picture cards, learnt how to play 'Salute the King', and helped Downpour (Guide helper) do an amazing card trick!

[4thDidsburyRainbows @4thDidsRainbows]

Our Rainbows really impressed us with their Remembrance Day knowledge tonight, and made some beautiful collages while we listened to some stories of wartime bravery. We also talked about people helping us during the covid crisis. @Girlguiding_NWE @GirlguidingMcr @Girlguiding

@nickypatterson0 @Girlguiding_NWE @Girlguiding @GirlguidingMcr Thank you! The girls did so well, considering most of them were stuck on mute for most of the meeting!

[4thDidsburyRainbows @4thDidsRainbows]

Despite some technical difficulties (!) we all made a mini camp fire tonight. Even though we can't meet around the fire in person this year, we learnt 'camp fire's burning' and now we can have a camp fire with our toys at home. @Girlguiding_NWE @Girlguiding @GirlguidingMcr

[4thDidsburyRainbows @4thDidsRainbows]

All our Rainbows who are attending Zoom meetings should have received a goody bag over the weekend - how exciting! We're going to have fun for the next few weeks 😁👏

[4thDidsburyRainbows @4thDidsRainbows]

Tonight we had lots of laughs on Zoom telling jokes. My favourite joke from the Rainbows: Why can't you trust stairs? Because they're always up to something! @GirlguidingMcr @Girlguiding_NWE @Girlguiding

[4thDidsburyRainbows @4thDidsRainbows]

We started back the fun and games on Zoom this week, and welcomed two new Rainbows! 🌈 🌈

[4thDidsburyRainbows @4thDidsRainbows]

2 promises, 2 gold awards, and 15 MUG CAKES! Online #girlguiding is different but we've had a fabulous term 😀 @Girlguiding_NWE @GirlguidingMcr @Girlguiding

[4thDidsburyRainbows @4thDidsRainbows]

Our Zoom talent show this week was epic! Magicians, dancers, singers, comedians, artists and... bakers! @Girlguiding_NWE @GirlguidingMcr @Girlguiding
