This year we had 2 Rainbows that attended 1[st] Claudy Rainbows at the start of the year, however when we restarted in September this increased to nine. We completed activities that were associated with the Rainbow programme. This included completing two interest badges, the animal lover badge and drawing badge and we were also working on the know ourselves theme badge. We also celebrated themes of the year such as Halloween, Christmas and Easter. Including making pancakes around the time of Pancake Tuesday.
These rainbow programmes were completed through games and arts and craft activities.
