Last night saw me and Al doning a uniform and taking on secret identitie, I in fact have two!
Alaric is Akela, I am known as Otta and Skip (though no ones actually called me Skip which I'm sort of greatful of as it sounds - well a bit silly). Yesturday was much fun with helpers not turning up on time - more children than last week turning up and it being a perants evening!
I couldnt find the story about what beavers really are so spent yesturday afternoon combing all the childrens animal books for pics, consulting wikipedia and the pice to la resistonce - Scottish Beavers! I saved the pictures to my laptop and showed the Beavers and told them about the re-introduction project. I was blagging most of it though - making games up off the cuff - fortunatly I had the soft play kit so that was easier than it could have been.
Akela was seen running backwards and forwards participating in games of various sorts, including a game of crab football - then he wondered last night why he was so tired and felt like he'd run a marathon!
Well I also discovered I know a lot of the rules of cricket as I invented Softy Cricket which cam as a huge shock! We also played Softy Volly Ball.
The Scouts insisted on playing musicial chairs which seeing as we had no sound systtem ment I found myself singing the hamster dance theme :/ I also found myself singing the little chicken song and getting them to do The Animal went to the fair in cannon - which was hilarious - imagine 10-12 yr olds trying not to be uncool whilst enjoying themselves doing 'lame' things.
