A programme for children at home
Presenters this week, Miranda Connell, Jonathan Dennis
Today's story: "The Golden Goose"

It's flying week in Play School.
Goggles, helmets, and special flying jackets are on the dressing-up pegs tomorrow and Miranda and Jonathan, who comes to Play School for the first time this week, dress up for a ride in an odd aeroplane. On Science Day Miranda does an experiment with paper aeroplanes to see which shape flies best. A pancake, a moon rocket, and a motor-car are some of the other things you can see flying in Play School this week.

Padre Sanchez holds an annual fiesta to raise funds and eventually purchase a statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe, but his piety, though genuine, is not all that it seems.
