Last FOREST STORYPLAY with our MARYHILL HUB!
The Children's Wood - Glasgow
Extravagant Forest Creatures, Wolves, a flying adventure and a Magic Ball out of this world.
The sun eventually shone on our last Forest Storyplay of this Summer and our Maryhilll Hub friends were more than ready to bring it to a magnificent end.
Our Funky Chicken inspired everyone – Maha showed us a Calm Capybara, and Dana a Crazy Chicken. Rita brought a Sleeping Dog, Adam a Hairy Dog and Amira a Happy Cat. Yasna went with the Funny Orca and Aveen with a Funny Crab! Eman showed us a Silly Parrot, Maya a Scratchy Lion and Mohammed a Fast Cheetah.
Flying up high with our Flying Balloons we saw a silver snake and a forest, an elephant, dots that were flowers, an African elephant, an elephant eating a boat, dragons, Mars! a costume party and we even flew down to the ground momentarily to get a piece of flavoured cake!
The Forest had some exotic creatures: two squirrels, a fox, a cat, a bird, two butterflies and a girl that lives in the wild –all of them were wanting to know what time they were at?!
What’s The Time Mr. Wolf?
Wolfie Rita lived by herself in a puddle that was sometimes warm and sometimes cold. Her fave food was blueberries and her red watch she stole from a shop!
Wolfie Squirrel – who looked a lot like Yasna – lived with her best friend the Rattle Snake. They lived underground. She had got her pink watch from her friends.
Wolfie Dana lived in a treehouse with caterpillar friends. Her fav food was strawberries, and she got her blue watch from a chicken!
An out of this world Magic Ball adventure!
After much discussion about where we could possibly go, we chanted the magic words and let ourselves go! When the zipper got unzipped someone shouted – We have landed at the MOON! Now, walking on the moon is a wee bit tricky because the lack of gravity so instead of walking we were really kind of bouncing and floating about.Upon further exploration we realised that the ground was kind of smelly…and tasty?
-This tastes familiar…
-Yeah like…cheddar?
-Wait a minute…are you telling me that the moon it is actually made from cheese??
There was a bit of a debate amongst us all about this and as we were debating
-Not only it is made from cheese but it also it’s made of a kind of cheese that will shrink us tiny, tiny SO tiny we can sneak ….inside…. someone’s brain!
A Moon Alien appeared right in front of us! It turned out he was a little sad and all he wanted was a wee hug. As we are rather nice Earthlings, we gave him a group hug.He liked it so much that he invited us to visit HIS brain – since we had by now eaten so much Moon Cheese that we had become microscopically small.
-Sounds like a great idea! – we said because none of us – bar Maha, as it turns out- had been to a brain before.
Well, let me tell you…a brain is kind of wet and squidgy but very interesting. A White Cell that was passing by told us the way to the Cerebral Cortex where one could find memories from the past! But while were sharing our memories with each other a Red Cell suddenly appeared screaming ‘Emergency! Emergency!’
-What’s the emergency? – we asked
-Well, the Alien has cut his knee, and we need to build a scab, but we are running low on red cells like me at the moment!
-Could we help somehow? – we asked again.
And we did! Together we created the perfect scab mix: we mixed eggs, socks, shoes and plasters and covered ourselves in it to become the biggest scab you have ever seen!
It worked very well, and the Alien’s knee was much better after our intervention – job done and time to get back to The Children’s Wood for a picnic and a bit of Reflective Drawing.
We couldn’t have had a more fun last Forest Storyplay at The Children’s Wood, and we can’t wait to get back there for some more Storyplay soon!
