This week both of the Colonies have been doing the same things. In the case of each Colony half met at “Pets at Home” in Urmston where they had the chance to see or stroke various of the pets in the store ranging from rabbits, hampsters, guinea pigs to those that were definately “see only” with various fishes to snakes. Some of the fish were small but still had to be kept in individual tanks or they would attack each other. I am not sure I would want something like that as a pet. We also learnt about the food that each ate and how they should be housed. Meanwhile back at the Ranche the other members of the Colonies were pitching tents and playing games. In the case ofthe Tuesday Colony they also carried on with their Healthy Eating Project.
Next week the Tuesday Colony will be doing the Experiment Badge and playing games whilst the Wed Colony will reverse roles and either meet animals or pitch tents.
