1,2,3,4, lines
Make a square,
Draw one line longer,
And another one there,
Lines that go round,
A line at each end,
More lines for the ?
And a line that ran bend
How many different pictures can be drawn from this rhyme? Gordon and Julie will try to draw a different picture each day always using the same lines.
Charles Leno returns with stories of some of the things he did on Sundays when he was young, and on Tuesday Gordon goes back in time and dresses up as an Edwardian photographer. In those days cameras were very different: the photographer hid under a black blanket behind the camera and the people being photographed had to stand very still for a long time white the photograph was taken. Will the camera work for Gordon?
