This week the presenters are Brian Cant and Marla Landi. Brian Cant has several children of his own, and Marla Landi is an Italian. During the week she will sing some Italian songs. There will be a story as usual every day and this week it will be told by Athene Seyler. The scripts are the work of another of the presenters, Carole Ward. Today is the day for 'The Useful Box'. The presenters will show you how to make a room with building blocks, and a carpet from paper.
