A programme for children at home.
In the story chair, Nancy Quayle

Today is the 500th Play School. Brian Cant and Julie Stevens have been here since Play School started and so has Nancy Quayle, who is going to tell three new stories about Mr. Duster.
The picturebook on Tuesday is Springtime for Jeanne-Marie by Francoise, and on Thursday that cat Pybus will be here again in a story about his surprise present.
You will be hearing a lot about trees in Play School this week, so when you next go out have a look at them and watch for signs of spring.
