Play School

- Season 113

(2006)

A game is played with a person drawn on a wheel. The wheel is spun and wherever it stops eg head, arms, or legs appropriate actions are done. Karen finishes painting a Palamino cardboard roll horse. It joins a grey, bay and piebald horse, ready to be exercised and fed. Finally they are put in a box stable. The Play School Sports Carnival features a sack race, a pebble and spoon race and jumping event.

Shoes are used for a matching game. Jemima is dressed up as a fine lady to ride on Ripple, who has his mane and tail plaited. In a cardboard box car, Mark collects some of the toys for a noisy ride.

A Shetland Pony, Pebbles, visits and features such as eyes, nose, hooves etc., are looked at. Leah feeds Pebbles some apple. Using soap flakes a thick paint is made. Different colours are added to make a picture. Leah makes a simple horse out of a chair and takes Big Ted for a ride.

Pictures are created by rubbing a crayon over different textured objects. With a candle, Leah rubs to make an invisible leaf shape. It is revealed when painted. Three famous paintings of horses are enjoyed. From rubber gloves, zebra and horse puppets are made. The Play School fun fair is made and includes a mini clothes line carousel, a slippery dip and a lazy susan boats ride.

Cardboard box houses are set up and visits are made to Jemima, Humpty and Banana. Apples, celery etc., are prepared for a Waldorf Salad. A cowboy on a horse are added to a scroll box which is manipulated to create the feeling of movement.
