Weekly Summary

This week we practised our sewing by making small poppies out of material and buttons.  I’m glad to see all the Cubs did really well and we had no accidents with the needles!

On Friday we also joined the Cubs District Quiz, which was great fun and the 52nd behaved impeccably in front of all the other cubs.

Next week

Next week we will focus on pioneering, making bridges out of bamboo.
