FOREST STORYPLAY back for October Holiday Week!
The Children's Wood - Glasgow
We came from Whiteinch, we came from Maryhill. We all live in Glasgow; we love a picnic!
And do you know what else we all love to do? We love to Storyplay at The Children’s Wood!
At Forest Storyplay October Holiday Week Licketyspit families got together to enjoy playing outdoors and The Children’s Wood is an absolute favourite place for it!
Whiteinch and Maryhill families enjoyed another fabulous day out playing, sharing food and learning about fire & cooking with Andrea!
Funky Chicken was very inventive – we even learnt about a new animal with Yasna!
Frankie showed us The Saxophone Playing Turtle and Maya told us about The Cheeky Dog.
Yasna introduced us to The Titanboa and Ibraheem knew The Angry Fly!
Aveen showed us The Dancing Crab and Andzelika told us about The Dancing Fish. And Shirley & Arvin together showed us The Silly Pinguin!.
We flew high up in the sky with our Flying Balloons and from up there we saw water, a ship and pirates on the ship! Then Maha spotted the pyramids and realised we were over Egypt! We decided to fly down with our Flying Balloons to get some treasure from the pirate ship! The treasure we found was real coins and chocolate coins of different flavours!
Suddenly a Pirate appeared and shouted:
‘Oi! This is my ship! BUT as it happens, I am looking for a new crew of UGLY pirates with UGLY names…like No Taste Rita or Dark Water Arvin’?
We jumped at this opportunity of course and quickly transformed ourselves into the Ugliest Crew ever!
Then the Real Pirate Captain of the pirate ship appeared, and the impostor Captain was made to walk the plank while the Ugliest Pirate Crew got ordered about to do different jobs like scrubbing the deck or cleaning the dishes and other hideous chores!
A Mysterious Woman who was actually very cheeky appeared and hired us crew to rob a BANK! Turned out it was a Chocolate and Sweeties bank…
Our pirate plan was to rob the Sweetie Bank and then keep everything for ourselves and give nothing to the Mysterious but Cheeky Woman and fly away again on our Balloons!
Mysterious Cheeky Woman showed us the way to the Bank but then we had to sneak in through a tunnel and dig lots and lots and lots until we found the riches! And in true Ugly Pirate Crew style we ran away with the bounty and flew back to The Children’s Wood for a picnic and a campfire with Andrea!
We baked our own stick bread and tons of yummy marshmallows!
We learned how to make fire safely and how to look after the forest so we can come back and enjoy it over and over again!
Forest Storyplay at The Children’s Wood truly is a Licketyspit favourite!
Taz, Sarah, Andre, Andrea & The Licketyspit Families
