Our meetings in July

We've used the outdoors as much as possible this month and have done a variety of activities. One week, each Six made a Scarecrow; another week we repeated our Backwoods cooking activity of making stews (which allowed some new ones to have a go) and then we ended the month with a couple of weeks of games - including water ones on the hottest day of the year so far!

Anabel Murphy's Racing Stables

For our meeting after the Camp weekend, we had an interesting visit to Wilmcote's horse racing yard! It is owned and run by Anabel Murphy and we heard lots about the world of horse racing, how the horses are cared for and trained and how they all have different personalities. We also congratulated Mrs Murphy on her win at Royal Ascot this year. The parents who came along found it interesting too (plus one or two tips were discussed....).
