2020-03-25T11:37:38+00:00

Monday 16th March 2020 We had a wonderful session of outdoor Storyplay with the bubbly and energetic P6/5’s at Miltonbank in their last session. The whole class remembered how to warm up by making yourself as Big as Bear! And as Fast as a Hare! You can do the Warm Up at home with this video. We had some brilliant bird like running as well! We loved warming up outside today! We played ON / OFF which is a good game for playing at home around a rug with your family. The Funky Chicken is popular with this class who are full of great invented animals and actions which were quite hilarious! Following on from last week the P/65’s have the collective voice of an angel as they remembered every line of Grandma Grandma and sang with such great energy and enthusiasm! It was a very cool and funky version! We played a variation of What’s the Time Mr.Wolf Licketyspit style! We met some brilliant and terrifying wolves! We had Kiera Wolf, Ali Wolf and Asfa Wolf! What did the wolves get us all to do?! We grabbed tightly onto our Flying Balloons and we flew so high we left the earth’s atmosphere and floated around in space! We saw Saturn and Rockets and way down to the Sea. This is a great game to play at home, it [...]

Monday 16th March 2020 We had our second Storyplay session with Miltonbank’s P2’s outside! When we got cold we went into the hall. At the end of the session we found words to describe how we felt playing these games together today and people said -  Good and  Happy, some people felt a bit tired and out of sorts because of everything that's been going on but we also felt excited, surprised and even crazy and awesome!! We did two different Licketyspit Warm-Up’s! We made ourselves as Big as a Bear and as Thin as a Pin and as Wobbly as a Jelly on a Plate! What other rhymes are there in our warm-ups? We met some very excitable animals today! Babeker introduced us to the Teleporting Lion! Iona said hello to the Cheaty-Dancing Monkey! Julie welcomed the Happy Lion and we met Lexi’s Funky Monkey!

Monday 16th March 2020 This week it was sunny so we played outside in the playground which was lovely because we could run! We had a double warm-up this week to keep us warm while we were outside! We made ourselves as Big as a Bear and as Big as a House! Can you remember how each warm-up rhyme goes? We played ‘Do you know the…’ (Maybe you could draw a picture of them and send it to us?) Rainbow Bunny Rainbow Bird Funny Cat Rainbow Chicken Ferocious Bear! Funny Bunny Loud Dog Rainbow Cat Juggling Dog Rainbow Zebra We made up funny ways to say a big friendly ‘HELLO!’ without touching! This will be important over the next few weeks, maybe you could create a new way to say ‘HELLO!’  with people at home! Or to do through a window? I wonder what creations we could all come up with? Flying Balloons took us way above Miltonbank and way above Glasgow! Zara saw  beautiful shells at the bottom of the deep blue sea! Amanatta saw a dog driving a car! Sara saw a Pig in a Tree, Melody saw a Pig on a toilet! Ahmed saw a Monkey driving a car waving at the Pig in a tree! Mrs Robertson at Miltonbank [...]

(18th March 9.15-11.30am) There was so much enthusiasm and focus from everyone in the room. We started with our warm up and then we introduced P1 to the Funky Chicken and they introduced us to a Brown Cat; a Pink Fox; a Sleepy Dog; a Pink Bird and a Scary Tiger! Thank you Lucy, Jack, Robyn, Lucas and Mya! We loved meeting those animals. When we went flying on out balloons we flew all the way to the Highlands of Scotland and saw the snowcapped mountains. Melody saw some snow people making snow angels and we also saw them having a snowball fight. SPLAT!!! Then we played Witches Fingers and all had great fun practising our Witchy Cackles and tricking all out friends into thinking we were going to say POISON! After that we all dressed up in some wonderful costumes and went into the forest where we met Granny Lucas who loved to grow apples; Granny Jessica with 100 pet dogs, Granny Ahmad who grew carrot and potatoes and Granny Liam who had a giant tree in his garden. After all that we still had the energy to go on a Magic Ball [...]

Wednesday 11th March 2020 A lovely session of Playcard Play was had with Primary 2 at Miltonbank this week. After their fantastical adventure with Margaret & Margaret, everyone played the Lickety Playcard games with such great energy and enthusiasm. You can come and learn them too at Porridge & Play next week! (18th March 1-3pm) Everyone quickly learnt the warm up, so many brilliant bears, hares, birds and foxes! We could have played the funky chicken for hours because everyone had such great ideas for animals. We then had a lovely time flying with our balloons high in the sky. We saw lots of friends and families far below - houses that looked like shoe boxes and trees that looked like broccoli! This was followed by fantastic dressing up, wearing jackets back to front, and tights on our head, experimenting with lots of different ways of wearing things. We then had fantastic games of Monster's Footsteps and Witches Fingers, where we really got into the characters of the witches, monsters, trees and granny. We finished the session by blowing up the Magic Ball, undoing our zips and climbing inside! We flew to a castle for a huge feast feast and cooked delicious things on the fire. Then went up the tower to find some magic bunnies who gave us three wishes. We wished to go under the sea and [...]

2020-03-13T15:37:03+00:00

Tuesday 10th March 2020 Today we had our second Playcard session with P3.2 and it was lots of fun! We met even more animals at the start of our session and everyone had the chance to draw and make up their own animal for The Funky Chicken - there were so many excellent ideas! In our balloons we flew all the way to Nigera and we saw a volcano and lots of mums nearby baking cakes and making snacks. We hosted our first Granny Convention where all of the children dressed up as Grannies and introduced themselves to the rest of the room. There were some very interesting characters. Then the Grannies decided they wanted a trip in the Magic Ball! We arrived somewhere with lots of shops and went into a cafe run by lots of different grannies who all served us lunch. We had pasta, and cake, and ice-cream and coffee. Then Kian led us to a lift that took us all the way to America. as we were exploring we had to hide behind a big rock because suddenly there were Tigers, Zebras and a Panther! We started to back away really slowly but then Shay saw a dinosaur! Luckily he was very friendly - he led us on an adventure but we saw a T-Rex and we all decided to turn into rocks to hide from [...]

Tuesday 10th March 2020 In our third session with Primary One we all created Funky Chicken Animals and got a ride on a Dragon's back to a nearby lake where we went for a swim! We met the Running Zebra,  Nice Tiger, Happy Cat, Silly Giraffe, Friendly Shark and so many other animals - everyone created one! We flew off in our balloons - with suggestions we might see the beach, the jungle, aliens, cats.....! Mrs Reid saw the river and we saw some of our families and pets. Then a dragon flew over and let us climb on his back and we flew to the shores of a lake by a beach. It was an island covered in white flowers! Harry saw some ducks living on the island, Harlow saw crabs. Everyone swam in the lake and we found a statue and a rainbow treasure chest. Darceigh found the key! There were sharks too - eek! We all ate macaroni cheese, ice cream and juice handed out by different children.  Then we made the silk back into a dragon and flew back to school. We dressed up as aliens and astronauts and then turned on all the buttons in the button factory in Hello My Name is Joe. And then we made a delicious cake in Let's Bake a Cake. Full of strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, ice-cream and chocolate! Primary One's [...]

Miltonbank P3 – Session 2

2020-03-13T13:07:58+00:00

Wednesday 11th March 2020 Blog by Taz: I met the P3 class this morning for the first time. A lively lovely bunch! Even though they hadn’t met me before they were kind and welcoming. We had a good warm-up that everyone seem to enjoy and we got on with playing! Funky Chicken was a fun surprise as many of the children offered fantastic animals: a cheeky cat, a nice fish, an angry alligator, a crazy dolphin... We took a big old trip on our balloons over Europe and then further across the world and after that had another rendition of ‘Grandma, Grandma’. Today we’ve learned a new tune called ‘Miss Mary Mac’ which was a hit with P3 as they really enjoyed singing and doing the actions to Mary Mac’s story! Everyone dressed up with gusto and somehow we ended at the mercy of a pirate Captain called Captain Potato on a pirate ship... After being ordered about but Potato and a few of different Captains Virginia led us through a wee relaxation that opened our imaginations to the creation of characters about to attend a fabulous party! Upon arrival to the party we introduce ourselves to each other. There were grandmas and witches, mermaids, robbers, the king of pineapples, the king of animals, the king of ninjas...all sorts!. We then had our very own individual entrance to the [...]

Miltonbank P4 – Session 2

2020-03-13T12:40:19+00:00

Monday 2nd March 2020 We had another brilliant session of STORYPLAY with the Primary 4's this week at Miltonbank! Everyone was full of energy, excitement and creativity which was reflected in fantastic dressing up and the amazing drawings that followed! Everyone remembered lots of the warm up and joined in loudly, which really got our bodies and minds ready to go! Lots of great animals were thought of in Funky Chicken, such as the 'squeaking guinea pig' and the 'silly dog!' We flew high above the world in balloons, seeing mountains and rain-forests and even as far as the milky way and meteors! The most exciting part of this session was when we went into the Magic Ball... We landed in the North Pole and it was absolutely freezing cold! Luckily Leah had a huge tent for everyone so we all helped to put it up and managed to quickly get warm inside by lighting a fire and putting on extra layers. There was lots of space for everyone to huddle round the fire so we handed out marshmallows and fish and had a BBQ, it was really delicious! We then went on a walk out into the arctic where Rudolph appeared! He was very excited to see us and was extremely excited to drive us on his hovering spaceship car to try and find Santa! Santa (Kyle) gave us [...]
