We were back on the 20th January for our second Storyplay for the Planet online session! These sessions are supported by Glasgow Life & Bloomberg as part of Licketyspit's East Centre Ward Residency and the Create4Glasgow project, supporting children's creative solutions to climate change! Read about our Storyplay adventure below: There we were dressed as pirates on a ship doing all our normal pirate duties: scrubbing the deck; climbing the rigging; clearing the rubbish out the water; sorting it into recycling when suddenly,  Pirate André found a small ball...We weren’t sure what it was but Pirate Felicia recognised it as The Magic Ball and told us all about it! “It’s a magic ball. We blow it up and we go inside it and we have to say Magic ball magic ball take us where we want to go, Magic ball magic ball take us where we want to go.” - Pirate Felicia So we followed her instructions and went inside the magic ball. We thought about all the places we might go, said the magic words altogether and then….. We arrived in the middle of a forest with GIANT trees. Fareedah [...]

Welcome to the Storyplay For The Planet blog, where we share the stories of all the adventures we've had! Get in touch to find out how to join. We were back at Bellrock Nursery on Friday 10th December for our second Storyplay for the Planet session!  It was a glorious session once again at Bellrock primary school with lots of fun packed into it. We had some newcomers, but everyone who came last remembered our Big as a Bear warm-up, and our newcomers picked it up so fast with a big roar, we got through it all as fast as a hare! Funky Chicken was incredible with so many interesting and diverse animals including Albie's Barking Dog where we all became this funky creature. Our wonderful Storyplay Champion Josephine also had to have a go showing us her Snapping Crocodile. We also saw the noisy sheep and Macie's Happy Cat. There were so many animals we could have filled a Licketyspit zoo! Dressing Up was a whole bag of fun, where we dressed up as creatures in Mr Wolf's Forest. We had Theo's superhero, Jason's Spider Man and Jason's Snake, along with all sorts of other interesting animals, including a mischievous wolf... This Wolf was the only wolf in the whole forest who could tell time, which led us into our game What's [...]

Welcome to the Storyplay For The Planet blog, where we share the stories of all the adventures we've had! Get in touch to find out how to join. We went to Bellrock Nursery on Friday 3rd December for the first session of our Storyplay for the Planet!  Everyone was ready to get stuck in and play all the games with us, many having learnt some of the games from their teacher, Storyplay Champion Josephine. Our extraordinary 3-5 year-olds were quickly warmed up with Big As A Bear, exploring some incredible wildlife creates and becoming expressive characters. It was such a riot with lots of laughter! It quickly became a favourite game for some. We then had a round of Funky Chicken, where we met Reise and Gracie's Spotty Giraffe, the Brown & White Dog, Mini Dog, the Dancing Hippo from our excellent teacher Josephine, the Silly Bunny and the Happy Sheep! We then played Flying Balloons. We saw a tiny door below us and Reise saw Santa coming out of the door! Harlow saw Santa leaving on his sleigh and Sarah saw her Mum. We then saw the sea...and flew down and swam in it!  We saw lots of fish, sharks and piranas. We surfed and swam! Several children turned into sharks who we fed [...]

We were back at Cranhill Primary on Friday 26th November for our second Storyplay for the Planet!  We played Big as a Bear and Funky Chicken, where we met the Cheeky Monkey, Snapping Alligator and Funky Flamingo. It was lovely to see so many animals who make up our wonderful environment brought to life. All of whom are worth protecting! Let's Bake a Cake...for the Earth! We then decided to make a cake for the earth with Let's Bake a Cake For The Earth, where we put lots of ingredients for the planet as well as the yummy (and not so yummy) things we love to have in our imaginary cakes. This included hope, small trees, bees, honey, many different coloured icing and water which we put into a giant bowl and stirred until the cake was ready to put in the oven. We all helped lift it in and Marcelo opened the oven door, Mason pressed the button and.....5....4....3....2...1! Bing bing bing! Once we had decorated the cake and sang happy birthday to the planet, we all had a piece and tasted lots [...]

Which meant we got to meet loads of animal friends that live on our planet. Then we got to know the Funky Chicken! All the children and grown ups got to show us their animal. Which included a sleepy elephant 🐘  and a snappy snake 🐍 We got to sing about Grandma and then blow up our balloons and travel all over the WORLD! What a great adventure it was!

Headteacher Flying Balloons We started off by exploring in our sock and you'll never guess what we found?! Why, we found a balloon! But, not just [...]
