Wednesday 5th July The Porridge & Play Castlemilk pals took the library by storm again this Wednesday. We had a rollicking adventure featuring a mucky brew, a giant and some very tasty marshmallows! We danced, dressed up and met, among others, the Funny Camel, the Hungry Hippo, the Happy Crocodile and the Funky Unicorn. The Magic Ball took us to Spaghetti Land where we had to suck up enough spaghetti to create a path. In amongst the tomatoey strands, Maryam spotted some gummy sweeties - yum! Then a Bog Creature appeared and invited us to join in their favourite activity - getting mucky! Slugs and flies, syrup and smashed up strawberries, we were soon as mucky as could be. We poured on some melted chocolate to top it all off! Mucky me mucky you mucky mucky mucky brew! Then we danced a dance in a long long line, and to our surprise, whoosh!

Safe at the shore, Desire lit a fire and we toasted marshmallows with [...]

We were warmly welcomed into Castlemilk Library where we’ll be meeting every Wednesday for Storyplay imaginings, food and friendship. With a mix of old faces and new, we got to know each other with our Dancing Warm up! Then our favourite Funky Chicken joined the fun with his crew - the Laughing Hyena, the Angry Elephant, the Angry Lion, the Happy Giraffe and the Happy Cat. We flew high in the sky in our colourful Flying Balloons. We saw the sea and the mountains, the sky and the moon! A zoo full of animals, squawking and merry and flowers that smelled like strawberries! We dressed up to the nines and pulled our scariest grins. Till some witches appeared with a cackle and giggle! I’m going to drink a bottle of p-p-p-p-p-POISON!! With a narrow escape we arrived at our p-p-p-p-p-PICNIC and enjoyed a feast of bread, watermelon, cheese, boiled eggs and cucumber sticks. The day was complete with an excellent Cake - made with chips and sausages in the Storyplay way! Thank [...]
