Mucky brews and book reviews!
Porridge & Play Maryhill
Back again at Woodside Library for Porridge & Play!
Friday 13th October
What a great time we had with our Maryhill pals last Friday at Woodside Library! This week we were all very excited about food… so excited, we made a Mucky Brew full of weird and wonderful foods! To start off, we got some huge ostrich eggs and cracked them over our heads which was GREAT FUN, then we covered ourselves in glorious gooey stuff. Nisa began the mucky brew pouring in runny chocolate, Vincenzo added feathers, Daniel and Lacy threw in some watermelon, AND then we added LOTS more yucky muckyness including tomato sauce, ice-cream, eggs, strawberry jam and a BIG CAKE that we splatted on our faces before rubbing it in. To finish off this delightful mucky brew Everley got us all to take some MALT LOAF & THROW IT OVER EACH OTHERS HEADS and said the magic words!!
MUCKY ME! MUCKY YOU! MUCKY MUCKY MUCKY BREW!
We were so SMELLY and STICKY that we had to wash ourselves all clean and fresh again and thank goodness Tochukwu had some towels so we weren’t dripping wet! No sooner were we dry, than something truly magical happened and we all transformed into fabulous chefs from far and wide who were all, as it happened, particularly good at baking! This was wonderful news, so we quickly set to work making the most deliciously rich and tasty cake you could ever imagine! Vincenzo liked it so much, he wanted to eat it while he was actually making it and Nnenna liked the fact that it was not an ordinary cake, but an extraordinary cake! Salman loved the cake so much that he imagined climbing some stairs to get inside the top of the cake where his room would be, his Mum and Dad would live in the layer below and the rest of his wider family would be in the base layer of the cake. How utterly fantastic that would be to live amongst the sugar, the flour, the eggs and the dried grapes, the chocolate and the sweet smelling coconut oil. To breathe in the fruity aromas of bananas, strawberries, blueberries and watermelon and especially the glorious whiff of smelly sock. Salman also suggested a honey pool outside the cake house that was good for diving into like a swimming pool. Everly decided it was just a nice sweet cake. It is fair to say that these chefs were truly inspiring and that cake, beautifully sprinkled with crumbled Penguin biscuits was just perfect!
After all that we were ready to do some drawing, share some food and look at some of the exciting books the library gave us last week! Much to our delight, Kevan from the library had got us lots of books about FOOD to choose to take home with us!!!
We are so excited to hear about all the different stories that everyone has been reading this week! See you next time!
