As it's a Bank Holiday the Play School toys have a picnic today and the picture story is about a first visit to the seaside. There are two other picture stories during the week: 'Hiawatha's Childhood' on Wednesday and 'This is London' on Thursday. There are a lot of hats on the dressing-up pegs on Tuesday and as there's a washing machine in Play School on Friday Terry helps Marian with some laundry.
