Rainbows for girls aged 5 to 7 years
Tuesdays during term time between 4.30pm an 5.30pm
Rainbows are the youngest section of the Girl Guide Association. , they are encouraged to wear a uniform and make a promise after 4 weeks. We choose a theme each half term (e.g. health eating, keep fit, weather). This may include visiting local places of interest or inviting visitors to talk to the girls.
During our time together we may play games, sing, dance and do art and crafts. The main idea is to have fun together.
