Brownies

Brownies badge

Girls from the age of 7 can join the Brownies and stay up until their 11th birthday but can if they wish join the Guides once they are 10 years old. The Brownies are the next stage following on from Rainbows although it is not necessary to have been in the Rainbows before becoming a Brownie.

The meetings are fun with games, crafts, learning different skills, meeting new people and making new friends all part of being a Brownie.

There are organised trips throughout the year with one of the most popular being the Pantomime and the other is the Brownie Splash, a trip to The Sandcastle at Blackpool involving lots of waves and water!

The Brownies are linked with the Church of England and attend special services throughout the year at the Holy Trinity Church in Freckleton. This does not affect in any way the membership of Brownies from other religious denominations.

The girls can also work towards gaining a wide range of badges which gives them a great sense of achievement and purpose. The Brownie Motto is "Lend a hand" and this is remembered in all aspects of the girls work.

There are two Freckleton Groups meeting on Monday or Thursday evening

Pre-school Music

Contact: Pippa Barratt
077025 42620

Pre-School Music is a local service provided by Pippa Barratt, who is a trained musician from the Royal Academy of Music in London.

She is an experienced music teacher who pioneered Pre-School Music Groups in the Fylde and has successfully run these for the last 25 years. These have now been developed over the last 10 years, from independent groups attended by parents and children to taking the classes into nurseries ranging from as far afield as Mellor in East Lancs, to Blackpool.

Children, from eighteen months up to school age, are welcome in the half hour classes and have great fun using rhythm sticks, percussion instruments, learning rhymes and songs, and basic music theory such as pitch and rhythm.

This work is based upon the Key Stage 1 Music requirements, whilst at the same time helping to develop speech, concentration and memory retention.

Each class costs £3.50 and for further information Pippa can be contacted on 077025 42620.

Pippa is also a fully qualified Piano teacher (GRSM, ARCM, DipEd), having taught pupils of all ages and ability for over 30 years. For piano lessons Pippa can be contacted as above. (077025 42620)
