This week we had a messy week of painting using different techniques. We had to sq**rt the paint onto the card and use different implements to spread the paint out. We then designed, built and tested some mini rafts! 🖼️⛵️

We celebrated World Thinking Day 2026 by learning about Guides in different Member Organisations of WAGGGS. We also played a World Thinking Day themed bingo game to find out a bit more about other people’s experiences of Guiding. This meant everyone has completed the first 2 clauses of the World Guiding interest badge!

Last week at Rangers we completed a UMA where we had to think about fashion trends. We had a competition to see who could name the most fashion trends that no other team had come up with. Using our lists we designed outfits showing off a mixture of our favourite trends.
