Our Rainbows joined in for their second time with the Remembrance parade. Onlookers may have noticed that our flag was different from others in the parade.
Our Unit’s brand-new flag was dressed with ribbons, carried furled and then presented at the church to be blessed and unfurled for the first time. It was a unique moment for our older Rainbows to be a part of and they managed their roles wonderfully despite some nerves. Well done, Edith, Lara, and Primrose.
Our meeting following on from this looked at code breaking, which was a significant role during the wars, particularly World War II, and we had some fun trying to send messages with our faces.
We have ended the year with our much-loved Christmas crafts, including sewing, making pinecone trees and a final party meeting. Many thanks to Shelley for organising the food. We wish all of our families, volunteers and supporters a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We look forward to many more adventures.
