Tonight we were joined by the Liss Horticultural Society members Mike Boocock and Sharon Stratton who came in to judge the crocus plants that we planted last October.
Quite a few Brownies were off tonight due to school plays or illness so we had a small turnout of pots. However, 1st place was awarded to Isobel Davy, 2nd to Jessica Bryant and 3rd to Ella Woodhouse. They all got a small prize and a round of applause!
Next up, We made Valentines cards and bookmarks from the paper that we marbled a few weeks ago. It was an explosion of pink! Some lovely cards were made.
Finally, the time came for us to open our parcels from our 'Sister Pack' of Brownies in L.A!
There was great excitement as we handed out the letters and envelopes with goodies in them, the buzz in the air was great. We were sent instructions of how to make 'S'mores' - a traditional tasty campfire snack made with honey crackers, marshmallows and chocolate which we'll be making once the temperatures rise a bit. or a lot.
Half term means time to write back to our American penpals and give them a thrill upon opening their parcel like we had. Thank you troop 9915!
Back on 23rd February for 'Thinking Day'
