Each Six did a short presentation about a charity involved in helping children from the UK or the rest of the world. They had done some research at home through the week. The Green Six presented about Children in Need, Blue Six about Comic Relief itself, Red Six about Oxfam, and Yellow Six about Barnardos. Some cubs had put an awful lot of work into this, which was really great to see! Well done!
Later, we learnt about the problems caused by landmines throughout the world. I’d hoped to show these two video clips… Landmines video 1 ... Landmines video 2 …but because of technical problems I told the stories portrayed in them instead! We learnt that Comic Relief spends some money clearing landmines, and some helping those who have been injured by mines. Then we played a blindfolded minefield game, putting a fun slant on this very serious problem.
We talked about what makes us happy, and what Comic Relief think kids need to make them happy, and we learnt some facts about Africa and child poverty.
Any Cubs who would like to donate some of their pocket money to Comic Relief can do so with their parent’s help by clicking here.
Ethan, Nathan and Wesley were presented with their Hikes Away 1 badge, which they earned in the Peak District recently. Well done guys!
See you all tomorrow for the Mother’s Day Service!
