The Gumnut Guides learnt all about chocolate from the harvesting of the Cocoa bean right through to the finished chocolate product.. They were able to make their very own chocolate treats taking home a bag full to share.

This completed their food badge they have been working on over the past two terms.

To earn their badge the girls have been learning about germs, weights/ measures and lots of different ways to cook for their badge.

They have made pikelets and cooked them on hobo stoves (a tin can with a t-light under it), omelettes in plastic bags, and baking cakes in cardboard boxes just to name a few of the activities.

We have also used food as art forms too.

Girl Guides offers girls aged five to 18, something unique: access to a great variety of activities throughout the year, all geared towards helping your daughter become a strong, confident, well-rounded young woman.
