Session notes

After a whole term, everyone should know each other a little better. Play another round of 'Friend finding mission' - but up the challenge with some more tricky statements. As this is the last session before the winter holidays, get Beavers thinking about badges the want to work towards next term with a 'Salt dough badges' craft. When they return in January, they can paint their dried models while reflecting on what they hope to accomplish in the term ahead.
