Saturday 28th May ‘I just love it, it feels like family, I love that the kids love it and that’s what gives me joy!’ - Moira We opened the pages of our imaginations at the Glasgow Women’s Library before having a fabulous Picnic at Glasgow Green! Our session started with a quick walk from Churchy to go to the Glasgow Women’s Library because that’s how close this wonderful library is! We started off by singing Jelly on His Head and Grandma Grandma! Saba and Colleen were chatting away on the way to the library and were talking about how much they look forward to the sessions. It was so much fun to sing Grandma Grandma as loud as we could in the middle of Bridgeton. ‘I feel like I have a community it’s really nice! We think differently too and our adventures [...]

Wednesday 18th May Magic Map, Magic Map show us the path to CASTLEMILK PARK! Jack’s Magic Map showed us that in fact Emma, Jared & Levi knew the path already and so they took the lead and guided us all from Castlemilk Community Centre to the woods at the heart of Castlemilk Park where we met our new friend, Stuart! It was a lovely afternoon and we merrily walked using Jack’s Magic Map to guide us into the heart of Castlemilk Park. With Jared’s help we were able to find Park Ranger Stuart! Stuart told us to follow him, to be careful with our steps as the woods have bumpy grounds and to keep our eyes and ears at the ready, for the woods do have many creatures and interesting wildlife for everyone to enjoy. Stuart had even set up a wee [...]

They were both absolutely delicious! We'd also like to give a big welcome to Mojgan and Roja! I can’t believe how many games we managed to fit in today! We played: Big as a Bear Funky Chicken Flying Balloons Grandma Grandma Witches Fingers Hello, My Name is Joe Let’s Bake a Cake We saw so many cool things in Flying Balloons: It started when Ryan saw a lego block and some ants! We realised we must be so high up that it was really a big building with some people walking around outside. Aga saw a huge lake and there were loads of animals too! Like a crocodile, some baby elephants being very silly and a GIANT OLIVE. But, then the naughty seagull came by and popped our balloons so we had to quickly blow up another one and this time we flew so high we drifted [...]

We loved hearing from Leeanne about their family bringing our Licketyspit Playcards to their Gran’s! With Lexi making sure to let her Granny know how to play the games. Saba told us she and her children missed the session and we missed them too! Colleen said they played our games when they were away on holiday! Getting to play outside with our Licketyspit families was so much fun in the sun. We got to play a some of our favourite games like Big As A Bear, Funky Chicken, Ickerickeroo and a new one - Magic Ball. We met funky animals like Nicola’s Slimy Snake, Rayna’s Running Zebra, Colleen’s Big Cat, Mohammed’s Firey Dragon, Alan’s Scary lion, Zaina’s Orange Fox and Moira’s Singing Cow! We had a whole Licketyspit Zoo! Effie then started to talk about the body parts and everyone knew exactly what [...]

Porridge & Play is running throughout 2022 with this six week block being the first of many great tales!  Blog posts are written by Effie! Week 5 of Cranhill Porridge & Play!! Thursday 21st April It was so great to see everyone back after the break. We couldn’t believe we’d had two full weeks off, it felt like we’d never been away! We got stuck in with our Big as a Bear warm up and our Funky Chicken, and after singing a couple of our favourite songs (Grandma Grandma and Jelly On His Head) it was time to dress up! This week we decided to dress up as Witches! We met so many fascinating Witches at Cranhill Porridge & Play! Fascinating means extremely interesting First there was Rytoy the Silly Witch. Rytoy loves to make people laugh and she uses a magic potion to do it…. She wouldn’t tell us what the potion was though! She said it has too many secret ingredients in it…. Then there was Ninja Witch Amber! She is a very very sneaky Witch, when mum’s not looking she likes to sneak into the kitchen and take biscuits! And she wasn’t the only sneaky witch - we also had Sneaky Witch Bukunmi who likes people to think she is a very very [...]

Wednesday 20th April We are the pirates BOLD! We don’t give a monkeys if it’s COLD! We don’t care if the world is BIG! We don’t give a monkeys & we don’t give a FIG! WE ARE PIRATES! Our motley crew were puzzled when Pirate Andre started to run around screaming with excitement followed by Captain Taz screaming even louder with excitement…  ‘You found it! CREW, do you know what this is?’  ‘A coin!’  ‘A diamond!’  ‘A treasure?’  ‘This, my meanest crew of Pirates, is a MAGIC BALL’  ‘OOOOOOOOHHHH’ Magic Ball! Magic Ball! Take us where we want to go! WOOOOOOSH! Deep in the jungle the crew was mesmerized…what would we find? ‘Is that a tiger?’ Carefully we crawled towards the biggest tiger a Pirate had ever seen! Kevin and Sarim, who are fluent in speaking tiger, worked out that it was very hungry, so we bargained that instead of eating us, Abu & Jared would make the Tiger some toast with jam that Amina had with her! The tiger was so happy that he sent [...]

Blog posts are written by André! Week 4 of Bridgeton Porridge & Play Friday 1st April There was lots of excitement on Friday 1st April at Church House for Porridge & Play! We were all like one big family! Moira & Leeanne asked us, ‘What are we gonna do for the next two weeks?!’ since we will be having a two week break for the holidays!  So we whipped out our Storyplay packs with our Playcards, crayons and notebooks for Reflective Drawing at home! We also had lots of fun information and game sheets to bring some of the magic we have at Porridge & Play home with you this break. We always do Reflective Drawing at the end of our Storyplay sessions so we can enjoy thinking about all the great things that have happened when we all played the games together - The funny animals we invented - the characters we dressed up as - the adventures we had in our balloons - the funny things people said - and all the things we imagined! Reflective drawing is not about doing a ‘good’ drawing. It’s about just relaxing and drawing while you [...]

Thursday 31st March What a great session to take us into the Easter holidays! We had such an incredible adventure in the Magic Ball which has gave so many ideas of exciting things you can do, places you can visit, and people you could meet using your imagination over the holidays. We started off by Dressing Up as adventurers and then Effie found the Magic Ball in her pocket and we knew it was time to go exploring. We thought about all the places we could visit - Dinosaurland, Disneyland, a hotel, the ocean, the North pole…. Anywhere at all. We jumped inside and said the magic words:  “Magic Ball, Magic Ball, take us where we want to go, Magic Ball, Magic Ball, take us where we want to go, Magic Ball, Magic Ball, take us where we want to go” Your Reflective Drawing from Week 4... 'This is everybody and we are in the magic ball!' 'I drew 2 magic balls I would go somewhere like this where I could play with all my [...]
