A Day out with the Pirate Crew after a very Mucky Brew!
Porridge & Play Govan 2023
Week 2
Wednesday 10th May
‘The sun and that is another sun. The fish. Fish fish fish fish!’
The Govan Pirate Crew lined up ready for inspection. What a collection of misfits!
Captain Smelly Beard got everyone working on the ship scrubbing the deck, climbing the rigging and even walking the plank!
This week we created fantastic pirates with our dressing up bag of old clothes and we met such brilliant looking characters: Captain Fiddle and Captain Silly, Captain Smelly
Pirate Silly Potato and a beautifully dressed pirate who claimed ‘I’m from Paris!’
We went on a Sea Adventure and we swam, surfed and discovered that the sea can be calm and relaxing and stormy and terrible too! And it’s full of fish, fish, fish!
We had a fire at the shore to cook some fish we caught, they had incredible flavours like
Chocolate, fish, marshmallow and pineapple. And to top it all up we had some sticky marshmallows too!
But before all that we got stuck into a very Mucky Brew. We wore, amongst other things, an ostrich egg, mango, strawberries more strawberries and sliced banana, peanut butter & jelly, water, hot chocolate and avocado…all over our bodies! What a Mucky Mucky Brew!
Another great afternoon with our families in Govan enjoying the possibilities of our imaginations, eating together and having a right good laugh.
‘I drew everything we did today. First one cause we did funky chicken, I did a monkey. We did some dancing at the start here are some music notes. Here’s a pirate and the sea. I also wrote Licketyspit and here’s a thank you. Today was fun, especially funky chicken’
Bye for now!

About the project
Porridge & Play Govan is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund as part of Big Porridge & Play Glasgow.
Licketyspit has run Porridge & Play in many other communities around Glasgow, and started doing online sessions for Govan families in 2020, when the pandemic delayed our launch at the PI. We have also worked at Riverside Primary and we are delighted to finally be running family sessions in person!
