Session notes

A great way to run this evening is in three bases. Split your section into three groups and have each group spend ten minutes on 'Tie a rabbit's tale', 'Put it to bed' and 'Song swap'. After this, each group should put their problem solving skills to the test by finding a way to protect their egg.
