Summary

Play School is Australia's most successful regular television program for pre-school children. It goes to air every weekday throughout the year on ABC1 at 9.30 am and at 3.00 pm and on ABC2 at 2.00 pm. Play School aims to encourage a child to wonder, to think, to feel and to imagine. The program shows two warm, caring people taking the time to be with one child. They address the child directly and personally. Into this relationship are woven the stories, songs and activities that form the fabric of Australian children's culture. Play School is successful because it satisfies our basic human need to interact with other people and to be valued by them. Play School aims to extend the child's interest and it encourages participation. Each program contains a story, some songs (both traditional and new) and a variety of play ideas with things to make and do. Each week has a theme which is developed in different ways depending on the day. The daily format usually includes the Calendar, the Clock and a look outside Play School via the Windows.

Episode summary:

Shake, Rattle and Roll Young children are very responsive to sound and movement, particularly in the form of rhythm and music. They love to move their hands and feet and whole bodies in response to variations in pitch, tempo and rhythm. In this series of Play School we invite children to explore, discover and respond to sound and music in their homes, the natural environment and when out and about. Every day, we make and explore all kinds of percussion with some of Australia's top percussionists performing some favourite pre-school songs. We are also joined in studio by two very special guests, Australian Aboriginal elder and artist, Walangari Karntawarra, and ARIA award winning singer/songwriter, Katie Noonan. Episode 5
