Witch’s Fingers!
I’m going to drink…a bottle of….POISON!
We ran away from those tricksy witches as quick as we could!
Magic Ball
Then one of the magical witches found the Magic Ball.
It took us to MUDLAND!
We got stuck in the mud. We couldn’t get out!
What could we do but have a big….mudfight!
Just then, a noise.
I wonder who lives in Mudland?
It’s a monster!
Luckily he was just hungry.
He loved the bread and jam we gave him.
Then he wanted to play hide and seek with us.
Well, we were so tired from all that playing that we had to have a nap.
When we woke up, we found ourselves on a beach.
So we washed off the mud in the…SEA!
Splash!
We saw a shark, porpoises, and finally a SEA MONSTER!
Uh oh!
We quickly swam away and back to the Magic Ball.
The Storyplay Games
All our games are on our Lickety Playcards. You will get your very own pack in week 5 to help you Storyplay at home!
We had a delicious meal of sweet potato soup, watermelon, strawberries and plenty of bread and jam!
Then we shared our reflective drawings in the Lickety Gallery which you can read about below.
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:
