"A sailor went to sea,
To see what he could see,
And all that he could see,
Was sea, sea, sea". (Anon.)

Ocean-going liners, fishing boats, and lighthouses, are all seen through the Play School windows this week. Today, things from the Useful Box are used to make Ships, and on Thursday John and Ann invent a sub-sea car for a game at the bottom of the sea.
Today's story is called "Henrietta" by Boris Drucker

A documentary series that looks at our changing attitudes to the countryside.

with Sven Berlin

The New Forest is a romantic dream of our past, and a dustbin where trippers drop 1,000 tons of rubbish a year. It is a place of work, a producer of timber, the home of animals. It is an anachronism that the twentieth century has neither destroyed nor absorbed. (Colour)
