LicketyLeap Session 2 – Revisiting & sharing with families!

2021-06-15T13:47:22+00:00

4th March 2020 It was great to meet again and talk and remember our journey through the BOG over the SEA into the CAVE and up the MOUNTAIN to find our HEART’S DESIRE! We talked about our Heart’s Desire – whether there was something we’d like most in the world that would make us very happy? You can see the children's answers below. We did the whole LicketyLeap adventure again ourselves this week but this week we just did it with a white blanket and two red berets! We pretended to be Happy Margaret and Worried Margaret popping out from behind the curtain to the music – it was very funny! Then we made the blanket into the bog, the sea, under the sea, the cave, the bear, the bird and the mountain! In the morning Kyra, Tierney and Junior were the Bear and in the afternoon it was Lexi, Dale and Euan. The bears roared but they cried when we shouted ‘Poo Poo Bear!’ and we had to clap them to make them feel better and feed them! Liam, Lujain, Iona and Babecer were the Bird – and spoke Bird! They carried us all up the mountain on their backs! We looked down far below us and we could see everything – the Fishy Lady in her Boat (Ewan and Julie were the Fishy Lady); the Bear, [...]

St Martha’s P2 Session 2

2020-03-06T12:49:55+00:00

Tuesday 3rd March 2020 We had a fantastic second session with P2 at St Martha’s today! After our fantastic warm up we met the Funky Chicken and Eldana introduced us to the Angry Cat, with Kristian we met the Roaring Dragon, Shapina introduced us to the Happy Unicorn and Brayden showed us all the Rainbow Zebra. We went flying in our balloons and then we learnt some new names for parts of our body the Brain Boxer, Lug Listeners, Chest Wheezer and Knee knockers – can you remember any more? Then we all dressed up as Pirates and met Captain Motaz, Captain Maisie, Captain Miss Gregory and Captain Kara who made sure we scrubbed the deck, and climbed the rigging! Finally we finished with an adventure in the magic ball... We headed off to Spain but it was so hot we needed sunscreen, and sun hats and sun glasses. Dora led us to the shade of a great big tent made of leaves. We ate pizza, and ice-cream then had orange and blackcurrant juice. Then we felt cool enough to explore again, we found some lovely sand – it was an Oasis! We laid down and listened to the sound of water and to the animals all around us. Daisy heard a snake slithering through the sand and then we all heard a big bird cawing at us to [...]

2020-03-06T16:31:39+00:00

Monday 2nd March 2020 P3 had their first STORYPLAY session with us on Monday with Mr Lindsay, Jack, & Virginia. We were BIG as a BEAR and FAST as a HARE! We did the FUNKY CHICKEN and the NICE CAT and lots of great funny animals! We flew high in our Balloons over Glasgow and the world! We did Grandma Grandma sick in bed and then we dressed up – spectacularly! We played Witches Fingers - and Mr Lindsay was an extremely scary witch! And Monsters Footsteps! We had some great Grannies! Then we climbed into the Magic Ball and went to the moon where we met a sad Moon Creature and sang Happy Birthday and gave him some cake to cheer him up! Then we jumped into a crater and fell down into Kenya! We rode on camels, horses and elephants to the beautiful sea to swim! You can find out more about the Lickety Playcards and how they support learning and health and wellbeing here. We had a great Lickety Art Gallery!

Miltonbank P4 – Session 1

2020-03-06T16:36:42+00:00

Monday 2nd March 2020 It was great to meet Primary 4 at Miltonbank for our first STORYPLAY session this week! We had such a great time playing and imagining together!   As we introduced the class to the Funky Chicken we realised several members of the class had already met our animal friends and they were quick to welcome some exciting new animals to us! James excitedly told us about the Mystery Dog who went ‘who let the dogs out, woof woof woof woof !' and Aderyn said hello to the Cheeky Guinea Pig!   We flew high in our Flying Balloons for the first time and were delighted with how excited and full of ideas the class were. We were also impressed with how observant they were in recalling back what they were seeing and how small they were from way up high – “Our primary school looks so small it looks like a raisin!” We waved hello to Chantelle’s family and watched an elephant walking in the Sahara desert!  The class demonstrated just how creative they are with some truly brilliant dressing up! Benjamin managed to fit 5 different hats on his head! There were some great uses of clothing in some very un-traditional ways and lots of the class drew before and after pictures in the Licketyspit Art Gallery!   We also took a brilliant trip in the Magic Ball – which if you remember you can [...]

Miltonbank P7/6 – Session 1

2020-03-06T10:44:10+00:00

Monday 2nd March 2020 On Monday afternoon we welcomed the P7/6s to their first STORYPLAY session with us! Virginia told the class all about the importance of play and how beneficial it is to let yourself go and throw yourself into the session and we certainly had that from this class.   We all made ourselves as thin as a pin and as strong as a giant and we felt suitably warmed up for the session.   Sean introduced us to the Mad Dog in the Funky Chicken and Ahmed brilliantly showed us his Crunching Aligator – we look forward to hearing more animal suggestions in our next session…  We flew high above Glasgow in Flying Balloons and managed to fly in and then out of Area 51 before we alerted the authorities, we managed to grab a drink in Irn Bru land and then we flew high above Pakistan. What a trip we went on, travelling all over the world! We sang Grandma Grandma and we met some more Grannies in Monsters Footsteps! This was a very popular game with this group and following some excellent dressing up we weren’t disappointed! We had some stylish businessmen - Liam, Joel, Ahmed and looked very sharp, some unique hat wearing from Wiktor and Callum and a brilliant Alien monster from Kerrie!   We are excited for our next session with the P7/6s and we’re especially looking forward to more fantastic dressing [...]

LicketyLeap at Miltonbank – Group 2

2021-06-15T13:50:16+00:00

25th February 2020 Miltonbank’s Storyplay Residency started with LicketyLeap for Primary Two. 19 children in two groups leaped into the story with Margaret & Margaret! We journeyed through the BOG over the SEA into the CAVE and up the MOUNTAIN to find our HEART’S DESIRES! It was an amazing adventure! At the end Margaret & Margaret flew away in their balloon and a bundle of postcards fell down from the sky – they were for us - thanking us all for going with them to the top of the mountain & being such brave explorers! The journey took us 90 minutes so there is a lot to tell! We’re hoping parents & carers can come to school this week to see a film of the journey – under the sea, catching fish in Fishy ladies boat & cooking them! Jumping ashore to find fruit trees, rock pool and animals in a hole in the ground! We scrambled up to the cave, we saw the bear and we flew on a giant bird before jumping across a great chasm to the summit and zooming back down. Now we feel we can do anything! In Storyplay, the only limits are our imagination! You can see all of our Reflective Drawings on Facebook (some below). You can also read some of what the children said and see some photos below!

St Martha’s P3/2 Session 1

2020-02-27T18:54:44+00:00

Tuesday 25th February 2020 We had a fantastic first session of STORYPLAY with Primary 3/2 at St Martha's Primary this week! We introduced our playcard games to a very enthusiastic class! Lots of the children made up their own Funky Chicken animals including and Angry Sheep, a Snapping Dog and a Happy Cow. When we flew high in our balloons we flew so far we could see volcanoes, tigers, monkeys and even some gorillas searching for their food. We all loved getting dressed up and posing for some fantastic photos and then we visited Granny in the forest and Granny Shay told us all about the cheese he grew in his garden outside his big blue castle. Finally in the Magic Ball… We arrived somewhere very hot. It was Africa!! We had to use some fans to cool ourselves down and then we went exploring, we saw tigers, and pythons and then we saw.. a kangaroo! We wondered what the Kangaroo was going all the way in Africa so we followed him, bouncing around until we found a green hill to rest on. We tried to nap but the sun was still so bright so we got up and found a tunnel leading into a cave. Inside the cave we found a huge bird who let us climb on their wings and took as flying out the cave and [...]

Tuesday 25th February 2020 What an exciting day we had at St Martha’s STORYPLAY on Tuesday! We met the P2’s for the very first time and introduced a brilliant and creative class to our Playcard Play sessions! We made ourselves as Big as a Bear and as Fast as a Hare! Can you remember any of the animals we pretended to be?! We got to know the Funky Chicken and Dayle told us about the Stomping Dinosaur! Sumia introduced us to the Angry Cheetah and Motaz welcomed the Scary Tiger! We had a great time meeting Blaine’s Laughing Rhino too! We took a trip high in the sky in Flying Balloons and we saw some amazing things down below. Karam luckily warned us about the Rocket launch and we safely watched it from our balloons! Phew! Kristian saw his Dad, Brother and Grandma in Trinidad and Tobago and we all waved at them from our Balloons! Aleen’s balloon took her high above Syria and Brayden showed us the giant stomping through the river trying to catch the Pirate Ship sailing on the seven seas! The class cackled liked a witch! Mwhahahahaaaa! And they ran away when our Witches drank a bottle of… POISON! Ruby told the class all about her Grandma and we learned a new song and some new dance moves! Can you remember how the song goes? [...]

2020-03-02T13:20:42+00:00

Tuesday 25th February 2020 We had a fantastic first session of STORYPLAY with Primary 1 at St Martha's Primary this week! Primary One and Mrs Reid all threw themselves into the start of the Storyplay residency on Tuesday! We were all as BIG as a BEAR and as FAST as a HARE! We did the Flying Allacorn, the Scary Lion, the Silly Crocodile, the Angry Bee & the Funky Chicken! We all flew high over Glasgow and the world in our multi-coloured Flying Balloons – before the Naughty Seagull popped them! We saw dragons flying past the moon! We dressed ourselves up in fabulous costumes! Mrs Reid and children were Witches and we met some marvellous grannies living in castles in the forest keeping an eye out for the Monster trees! (Granny Hannah showed us her home-made pickled onions!). We travelled to Jupiter in the Magic Ball, put on our flying capes and met an alien in a cave where we ate mushrooms and ice-cream! We helped another alien fix her spaceship. We had a picnic and we jumped into a crater and fell down into the sea to swim! It just shows that in our imaginations we can be anyone, go anywhere and do anything and that all we need to play like this is each other! We had a fantastic Lickety Art Gallery! [...]
