Guiding Circus skills badge work

The Guiding unit in West Linton (Borders region) has invited me to stage a Circus Skills workshop for around 20 of their young girls tonight, with a follow up workshop in December. What a great opportunity!

I am really excited about this prospect. I'm looking forward to working with and encouraging this community group and imparting a sense of fun, whilst encouraging confidence and enabling them to learn new skills.

Update:
I had a great time with the 23 young girls. They really took to the plate spinning and the juggling. Well done girls!

I'm looking forward to coming back again in December for another session and helping you attain your Circus skills badge.

Keep practising and remember your rainbows and hot potatos!

Business developing

Hi Everybody,

Training
I am working on an accredited (Level 5) Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework 10-week Crèche Worker Training course run by Midlothian Council. The course will update my skills in areas such as: First Aid, Child Development, Child Behaviour, Child Protection, Health & Safety, Play etc.

I will be attending the Scottish Storytelling Centre in November for a 3-hour Parachute and Christmas based workshop. I am looking forward to trying out ideas with my parachute and then coming away and being inspired to create a host of festive fun activities.

Youth Community Groups
I am very busy networking with youth community groups and I'm looking to engage them with circus skills. More to follow...

Themed Parties - Ready for bookings!
I am currently very busy developing my themed parties, with my first party booked in the Penicuik Town Hall this month! This area requires a lot of creativity and planning and will be an ongoing part of the business. Expect lots of fun games, fantastic action songs and a fabulous story to tie-in with the theme. There are two themes to choose from so far, with more options to follow.

So take Action & pass the Word! http://www.wordsandaction.co.uk/

Phew! That's all for now!
