Funky Chicken
This week we turned into wonderful witches and other magical creatures!
But not before playing Funky Chicken!
We met Charlie’s Slow Sloth and Sayeda’s Angry Cat.
Muhammed’s Happy Horse and Nicola’s Snappy Crocodile.
Bassie’s Wild Rat and Max’s Depressed Gorilla.
Ramisa’s Grumpy Cat and Anusha’s Angry Donkey!
Witches Fingers
Ha ha ha ha ha! I am a witch!
And I’m going to drink a bottle of…
Water!
Pineapple!
Mud!
Cheese!
POISON!!
We had Abu Witch and Muhammed Witch, Anusha Witch and Claire Witch…Sarah Witch and many more witches besides!
Mucky Brew
These witches decided to make a Mucky Brew filled with all sorts of yummy and yucky things.
Flour and rotten eggs
Dinosaur’s blood and gloop
Mud and chocolate!
Magic Ball
Just then we found the Magic Ball….
Magic Ball, Magic Ball
Take us where we want to go!
A Woodland Adventure
The Magic Ball took us to the woods.
Where the bears live!
We fed the bears potatoes.
Not the poison potatoes!
Once they were full, the bears took us to the elves!
We met an elf who was making a cake.
We helped the elf bake the cake and got to try some.
Deeelicious!
Street Catch
We also played Street Catch.
This is a game we learnt from Leeanne at Porridge & Play Bridgeton when we made the All Scot Playcards.
It was a big hit with the Castlemilk crew! Can you spot it in the drawings below?
The Storyplay Games
All our games are on the Lickety Playcards. You will get your very own pack in week 5 to help you Storyplay at home!
Reflective Drawing
We almost always do ‘Reflective drawing’ at the end of a Storyplay session. It’s nice to relax and draw & think about what we’ve all done & how we feel about it.
Reflective drawing isn’t about doing a ‘good’ drawing – it’s about drawing whatever comes into your head when you think about what you’ve just done.
But as you draw you realise more about what you thought or imagined in the session. And it’s great to share that with everyone & hear what they thought! So many things go on in Storyplay!
Here are some of our Reflective Drawings from this week:
Read some of the artist’s reflections from the Lickety Art Gallery:
This is the balloon and this is me my mum made me and I made a flower and I draw a heart and I also draw a cake, my mum drew the cake and I did one light and the fires. Fave – the play the bears. I also liked the witches
I made the witch, a magical wand! Casting a spell – for everyone to have fun! That’s my mums. Fave – witches fingers
Spiderman in space and that’s the moon the stars
So that is my depressed gorilla… and that’s gloop on his head for mucky brew and he’s been slowing down cause he’s depressed so he’s ‘Wanted.’ I quite liked it all.
We’re playing the game when we had to hold the pretend ball behind our backs. Me! Favourite – playing the game
Book Reviews
Each week the librarians get out some books for us to take home to inspire our Storyplay.
This week Maria told us about Warrior Cats.
“Theres a lot of surprises in it that you wouldn’t expect and it’s quite exciting!”
