Our Beavers section have been working towards the Teamwork Challenge badge over the past few weeks have been taking on team tasks and playing loads of team games.

We have had some excellent communication and encouragement between members of the group and have encouraged each child to lead a game or team or share a game they know with the group!

Challenge badges take a bit longer to achieve than the normal activity badges but are well worth it as each of the 6 Challenge Badges gets our young people one step closer to the BRONZE AWARD, the most difficult badge available at Beavers!

We have a number of children who are now getting close to achieving that milestone and many children who this may be their first Challenge Badge!

Keep an eye out for more fun and more badges!!

🌟 On Tuesday evening the Beavers talked about safety in the kitchen. We discussed how to be sensible and safe... including the dangers of sharp items, hot appliances and boiling water, we also spoke about the importance of cooking food thoroughly and washing our hands! 🧫

We then did a relay race with beanbags and spatulas before decorating our own pancake with fruit, sauce and sprinkles!

We hope in the coming weeks/months we will be able to use the fabulous new kitchen in our hut and have a go at preparing a snack/meal, working towards the cooking badge! 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳

Two weeks into the new term.... Havent done a Beavers update in what seems like forever!

This term they Beavers are working towards their Navigation (Stage 1) badge as well as Global Issues! 🧭🌍

This means lots of nature based activities, map reading and problem solving.

We also have a trip to the Forest School coming up and hopefully some exciting guest talks in the pipeline! 🌳♿️🐍💪

Yesterday we drew and aged maps using teabags (and fire..!) And last week we talked about compasses and coordinates.

Keep your eyes open for more updates!
