Week 3 of Cranhill Porridge & Play!!
Thursday 24th March
What an exciting session!
After our usual warm up we decided it was time to dress up and this week we all became Grannies! We had scary grannies, funny grannies, nice grannies, hungry grannies – every kind of granny you can think of! Of course, we held a granny convention where we realised that granny school just wasn’t the same anymore! They thought that your Brain Boxer was a ‘head’ and your Bread Basket was a ‘tummy’ that your ee-peepers were just ‘eyes’ so Granny Agnes had to step in and teach them all the right names….. And they GOT IT!
After that it was clear that everyone was ready to graduate from Granny Academy and head out into the world to be their best granny selves!
Maybe next week we can explore some more character creations and see who we meet…
Some of our favourite moments from week 3…
‘this is my granny who is a super hero but its just pretend she could if you wanted to (save people) Fave part eating – likes bananas.’
Ellie‘Its my mum (Granny) It was my favourite story (what kind of gran) sad Granny I was just drawing here (second drawing).’

Shaylin‘grandmas got no face at all, I think her face fell off she is very brave she did it her self as she wants to be scary and she wants to be skinny. She eats pumkins and bats that she has in her house.’

Priscilla‘Thats granny and that a dress and thats a rainbow and thats she is a girl granny and she is a funny granny (that likes to dance) at Funky animals.’
Amelia‘Coloured half a heart cause I didn’t have time. I like dressing up. That’s granny and that’s it’s house and it goes over the head, i’m not good at drawing roofs so it’s a bit wobbly.’
