THE Cubs have had a busy term, covering many badges including the Fitness Challenge and the Communicator Badge.
Firstly, the Cubs were given a ‘crash course’ in basic journalism as part of the Communicator badge, by Kaa, where they had to write an article or review on something they enjoyed about Cubs.
This was interesting, due to many of them never having done anything like that before.
Kaa got them thinking about the five W’s and the H, ‘Who, What, When, Why, Where and How’.
The Cubs took part in the District Bowling competition the following week, which unfortunately, they didn’t win this time.
They then learnt about the different DIY tools from Baloo, as part of the DIY badge, which they seemed to enjoy.
The following week we cooked Pancake for Ash Wednesday, where they were split into two teams, with Akela and Baloo guiding one team each.
After half-term we had the District Football Competition, where they almost got through to the semi-finals on goal difference.
Baloo then carried on the Communicator badge with them, where he got them to memorise facts about the Solar System, and taught them a bit about each planet.
Kaa then ran a week on the Fitness Challenge, where they tried a new sport which was tennis.
Also for the Fitness Challenge, the Cubs have been doing running, press ups, sit ups, step ups and hoops, each week where they have to improve throughout the term in order to gain the badge.
Most of them are improving week by week.
Still to come this term is the Artist badge before we break for the Easter holidays.
