Welcome back to Porridge & Play Online!
A Dancing Giant! A Chocolate Cake! Time Land! Dancing Octopus Squishes!
What a brilliant first week back at Big Porridge & Play Online! We had Victoria & Gabby, Esther, Glory & Goodness, Khadar, Yahye & Ibrahim, Ope & Olayinka, Ife, Fire, Pemi & Desire! What a team!
We started with a Dancing Warm Up followed by the Funky Chicken where we met…
The Scary Tiger! (Victoria)
The Funky Tiger! (Fire)
The Howling Wolf! (Esther)
The Stretchy Leopard! (Khadar)
The Dancing Hippo! (Gabby)
The Annoying Raccoon! (Ope) … I wonder what a Funky Chicken tea party would look like?!
We flew up in Flying Balloons and saw the world. Goodness spotted a train heading for Edinburgh! Yahye saw lots of animals eating food! Gabby saw a Woman Giant dancing while eating cake! This reminded Khadar he’d brought some chocolate cake with him, so we all enjoyed eating it in the sky together, washed down by some coke from Victoria, yum!
Then it was granny time! A round of Grandma Grandma expertly led by Khadar, Yahye & Ibrahim followed by dressing up as Magic Grannies….
We met Granny Time (Esther) who lived in Time Land which is huge with lots of Big Ben clock’s! Granny Time could stop time with her Magic Walking Stick! Granny Cook (Glory) was an expert cake baker!, and Magic Granny, (Goodness), could imagine anything… ‘I imagined Octopus Squishes… they were dancing!!!
Granny Gabby lived in Summer places and loved fast swimming! Grandpa Elvin (Khadar) lived in the forest in a small cabin, and kept chickens, cows and sheep in his great big barn! ‘My favourite animal is my puppy,’ he said, ‘he likes to eat chocolate syrup!’ (his Puppy was expertly played by Ibrahim!). Then we met Vampire Granny… eek! (Yahye) We thought he was a bit scary until it turned out he only eats FRUIT!!! Phew! Rainbow Granny (Victoria) lived in Rainbow Kingdom with lots of sparkly things, and finally we met Grandma Snow (Ope) who lived in a Winter Wonderland, where people have lots and lots of fun!
What wonderful grannies! What do you think would happen if all of these grannies got together for a PARTY?! Or went to the BEACH?! What fun they would have!
So brilliant to see you all, see you next Saturday for more Porridge & Play fun and adventures!
Love,
Iona, Andre & Virginia!
Some of our drawings from Week 1……
“I’ve drawn Grandma holding her walking stick, I saw a person holding her colourful balloon and I saw a lovely cake! In the balloon I saw a Rapunzel’s castle, she was drinking tea!”
“This is Grandma Time in Time Land holding balloons where we saw the Loch Ness Monster and Big Ben in Time Land. Granny came with us and saw the Loch Ness Monster. She likes to go to the future where we see lots of cyborgs!”
“It’s about the grandma party when they were dancing, dancing to Happy! Grandma Time and Grandma Imagine. She imagines anything, dancing octopuses!”
“I drew the train that went to Edinburgh. On the train is Esther, Glory and me!”
“This is me flying up in the balloon, sun and cloud and a rainbow cake! It’s so tasty and sweet! I’m flying to Disneyland!”
“This is me flying up in the balloon, sun and cloud and a rainbow cake! It’s so tasty and sweet! I’m flying to Disneyland!”
“So it’s granny and the big balloon and she’s holded the big balloon and she’s flying!”
