ST. AIDAN’S RAINBOWS AND BROWNIES St. Aidan’s Rainbows are aged between five and seven. We run Mondays through term times, between 5pm and 6pm. As we only have one hour with the Rainbows, it’s usually action packed and fully fuelled. This term, they are working towards a Badge; we will be covering magical fairy tale activities - we are making tasty bonfires with biscuits, playing games with shoes and Smarties, singing songs and making memories. St. Aidan’s Brownies are aged between seven and ten. They run after Rainbows, on term-time Mondays, between 6pm and 7.30pm. Brownies run the evening themselves with help from the Leaders. They generally pick and choose what the would like to achieve in the term to come, we call this a Pow Wow. This term, as the weather is improving (a little!), they have decided to do lots of sports activities, They will be having a gym session, badminton and Short Tennis at the Leisure Centre, as well as Archery, which they are very excited about; they will be doing this with one of the Guiders who holds a qualification in Archery - we’re hoping to hold it in the Vicarage garden! If anyone from the parish who has any skills they would like to share with the girls occasionally, from a simple story to making drinks, please contact Karen Thompson.
