Porridge & Play Online Week 4
Funded by the National Lottery Community Fund
Welcome to the Big Porridge & Play Online blog where we share our stories and adventures!
Goodbye for now – not forever!
A fabulous session to finish off our online block of Big Porridge & Play Online! It was a very sunny day in Glasgow and we felt the sunshine through the zoom this week too!
The Snowy Leopard, the Jumping Bee, the Curious Ardvark and the Jumping Cat all came to play in the Funky Chicken before launching into a lively round of Hello My Name is Joe!
We all dressed up to play I Sent a Letter to My Love and wrote the most marvellous letters…
Ibrahim became Mrs Carrot who lived in carrots and ate carrot cake!
Queen Fiire wrote a letter to her long lost Princess who she missed oh so much!
Yahye became Lego Man!
Khadar was Captain Undergold who wrote a letter to Future Place which he hoped would bring him everything he desired!
Iona wrote to her beloved water bottle, which kept her hydrated on hot days like this one!
Let’s hear Khadar’s letter!
‘My name is Captain Undergo and I live in a futuristic city! It’s called the Future Place, there’s flying cars! And no weather system! There are no houses made of stones or wood, there’s just houses made of robots and metals! What I eat for breakfast is wrenches! Wrenches are like a metal thing, it’s like a cereal where you put oil on top of it! It’s a very good breakfast! Here is my letter! To my love, my future place, I love you very much my future place you are just my place in my house and everything that I have been raising and growing up!’
Fiire’s letter said, ‘Dear my long lost Princess, I love you love you love you love you. I really hope I see you soon!’
Another fabulous session filled with rich ideas and imagination! So, remember to keep 8th of July free for our Picnic & Play in person session!! Enjoy the sunshine and see you soon.

We almost always do ‘Reflective drawing’ at the end of a Storyplay session. It’s nice to relax and draw & think about what we’ve all done & how we feel about it.
Reflective drawing isn’t about doing a ‘good’ drawing – it’s about drawing whatever comes into your head when you think about what you’ve just done.
But as you draw you realise more about what you thought or imagined in the session. And it’s great to share that with everyone & hear what they thought! So many things go on in Storyplay!
Here are our Reflective Drawings from this week!
READ SOME OF THE ARTIST’S REFLECTIONS
FROM THE LICKETY ART GALLERY:
‘That says lego and these are people holding hands with each other for lego group, the lego group. And here are rainbow lego. When they are holding hands and the rainbow comes out and they fly to, the disappear to another place!’
‘So I draw a flying car right here and this is not the sky because Future Place does not have a sky it has like a circle ball covering their place so it’s like no weather at all it’s just sunny. It’s really nice, you can get out the dome whenever you need to. In future land there’s a lot of open people, a lot of open communities there are lots of houses, there are basically everything you can get in this world it’s just in future land! But it’s like if you’re trying to buy a car you’re not gonna buy from a shop dealership and stuff you need to go up to the space to buy in and then you get a flying car!’
