Before that of course we warmed up with a Dancing Warm Up! We loved it when Adie came to dance with us for a very special Family Art Voyage! We just love Dancing with Adie. So, we danced Licketyspit Style to get our investigating minds ready! The Dancing Warm up works by everyone standing in a circle! We love circles at Licketyspit.

The mission of the Clyde Maritime Trust is to care for the Glenlee and share the history of ships built on the Clyde for the benefit of all to enjoy and learn through its unique maritime heritage. The Tall Ship is based next to the Riverside Museum, which our Porridge & Play Cranhill and Castlemilk Hubs visited - you can read more about that here! Licketyspit love playing at the Tall Ship!

Thank you to everyone who has partnered with us to provide such amazing experiences for our children & families, and to all our Storyplay Champions! We went on a Canal Boat adventure with the Forth & Clyde Canal Boat Society! The Forth and Clyde Canal Society was formed by a group of canal enthusiasts who felt that the decline in the canals of Scotland in the 1960s had to be reversed. They believe the canals are monuments to our industrial past and that they could be put to use in the future for the benefit of local communities and they could see that the decline in the canals needed to be highlighted to local and national authorities. After the completion of their main goal to have the canals fully reinstated for public use, they continue to support, promote and use the Canal in various ways! We helped support this by chartering a boat and taking a grand adventure which you can read all about in this blog!!  Picnic & Play on a Canal [...]
