A programme for children at home.
Presenters this week, Julie Stevens, John White
Today's story is called "The New House" by Hans Peterson
Illustrated by Ylva Kallstrom.

Today Julie makes a roadway from bits and pieces out of the Useful Box, and through the windows there is a bus in a garage being washed.
Tuesday's story is about a car that needed washing, and that's the day Play School goes outside. Julie and John are going for a drive along a motorway to where a new road is being built. On Thursday Julie blows bubbles and John makes a big picture out of circles.

The age of magnificence in Persia came at the end of the sixteenth and the beginning of the seventeenth century with Shah Abbas the Great. His desire was to build the most beautiful city in the East-Isfahan; a city whose mosques, bridges, and gardens would dazzle even the visiting emissaries of the High Renaissance in Europe.
Robert Erskine shows how even today the order and elegance of Isfahan fulfil the dream of Shah Abbas, the Great Sophy.

When Tom goes to art school he hopes to learn about life. But it seems that is not what the teachers are there for. They have other interests. Nevertheless, by the end of term he has learned a good deal about life... mostly from Angela, a fellow student. And she has learned one or two things from tutors, things which were not on the syllabus.
