playing about

Back to Marston Montgomery last Friday. Here's the village well - a great little stage for one little diva member of the Under 5's group who likes to perform here singing "TwinkleTwinkle Little Star." We made sure we worked it into the new song written by the mums and minders and then tried it out with the children at the end of their play session. It worked really well and was full of quack quacks, splish sploshes, and zoom zooms - all connnected with Marston and the surrounding area - anywhere little children like to go. Then off to Doveridge to work with 4 men with learning disabilities who live on Derby Road.....


Great fun in the afternoon - and just as wonderfully playful. After learning each other's names in song and rhyming them, we wrote a song celebrating their home , the things they like to do and where they like to go - including the friendly Vernon Arms pub at Sudbury for a pint or a coke. Other staff gathered at the door and were drawn in. Everybody was surprised at how the men stuck with it for over an hour and were enthusiastic and engaged. Can't wait to go back...
