CORE KENDRA WEEKLY UPDATE Our last week of term ended amazingly! Devchand Gooch planned and executed their first dasta session consisting of obstacle courses, problem solving and a treasure hunt. It was great to see them pull of great sessions and the baalako thoroughly enjoyed it! We then kicked off our first Baalsabha of the year with a twist of The Grinch! Well done to all the baalako that participated and took this opportunity to show us their unique talents; they were all fantastic! This was a great way to end 2018 and we hope you have a Merry Christmas and a happy New year! BAAL MANDIR WEEKLY UPDATE It was a was fast paced day in Baal Mandir. We started the day by playing a few quick games outside to get everyone warmed up and ready to sing. We then started going over the baalsabha act of Baa Mane Phugo which the baalako did really well in and had learnt everything with the actions included. Following that it was time for the baalko to perform what they had been learning for this past month which most of you may have seen and turned out very successful. They sat and watched the rest of the show of the grinch which they enjoyed very much and watched some talented acts as well. This whole term ended on a massive high with their performance and everything else they had been working on. We hope you have a great Christmas and a happy new year! Dates for your Diary
