After a very, very long wait, our new Beavers t-shirts arrived over the weekend. It was great to be able to dispense them this week to the children who've been asking after them for weeks and weeks... And they looked very smart!
We made Christmas Cards this evening, and the children worked hard to decorate their cards creatively. There are some very lucky parents out there, who will receive splendid masterpieces from their young Beavers.
I realised this evening that I need some football lessons - not in terms of ball control and dribbling, but more along the lines of when you should have a corner, when you have a throw-in, and what are the rules about free kicks! I was grateful to a Beaver's elder brother, whose mum was helping, for his help in spotting whether goals were legitimately scored. If any dads (or mums!) would like to offer some simple guidance to a football-ignorant Beaver leader, it would be much appreciated.
Next week we'll be making Christmas Cookies, so any extra parent helpers would be welcome - as would any extra rolling pins and cutters. Expect plenty of lurid icing and ginger-spiciness next week (if any of them make it home, that is!).
Just a quick P.S. on the behaviour front... this evening, the Beavers were an absolute delight. We have several gold and silver stars on our chart, and no yellow or red cards have been dispensed.
