A programme for children at home.
Presenters this week, Miranda Connell, Wally Whyton
In the story chair, Elisabeth Welch

It is autumn so this week is about conkers, wind, and falling leaves. Today is Wally Whyton's first day in Play School and he will play his guitar and sing about the wind.
There are Austrian clothes on the dressing-up pegs on Tuesday-Miranda Connell tells a story about a loyhouse in the mountains, and you can try to dance the schuhplattler. Thursday's Picturebook is The Three Little Pigs by William Stobbs, and Elisabeth Welch's three stories are 'Katy, The Lory who longed for Honey', and 'The Bear who wanted to be a Bird'.
