Épisode 1 - Mini Beasts (1)

1 juillet 2013

Series 286: Mini Beasts We see insects and other small creatures almost every day of our lives. These “mini beasts” are one of the first introductions young children have to the natural world. They come in countless varieties, shapes, colours, patterns and sizes and are celebrated in favourite pre- school nursery rhymes, such as “Incy Wincy Spider”, “Ladybird, Ladybird” and “The Ants Go Marching”. In this series of Play School, we explore “mini beasts” through craft activities, play, songs and stories. We are also visited in studio by some real-life insects: slaters, snails, worms and even a stick insect! Episode 1 PRESENTERS Andrew McFarlane – Karen Pang PIANIST Peter Dasent STORY BUTTERFLY, BUTTERFLY written & illustrated by Petr Horáček Walker Books Australia FILM Barron Gorge Walk (Play School, ABC) ANIMATION Incy Wincy Spider (Play School, ABC) IDEAS FOR LATER Make a garden diorama with green grass, a blue sky & flowers made from patty pans and pipe cleaners. Make some craft bugs to live in your diorama, such as the bottle top bugs described below. Take a walk in your garden or a local park and look out for “mini beasts” such as ants, worms, beetles and birds. Take a close look at the mini beasts you find (without touching them) and then draw or paint a picture of them. Tape or staple your pictures together to create a mini beast scrapbook! Plant some colourful flowers in your garden or a plant pot. Watch them as they grow. Do they attract any insects?

Series 306: Faces and Feelings In this series of Play School we use a diverse range of stories, songs, craft and play to explore faces and feelings. The human face is a first and most significant focus for the new born infant. Faces are full of life and variation and can show that someone is interested and responsive. As young children grow and develop they begin to understand the ways in which faces can reflect thoughts and feelings and how they can use their own faces to express their own feelings. Greater understanding of facial expression and the feelings of oneself and others can help young children to learn to identify and respond positively to the feelings of others. Come along as we make things for the Play School portrait gallery, play dress ups, meet some rabbit visitors, make a baguette crocodile and much more. We also look through the windows as children introduce us to some special faces in their lives. http://www.abc.net.au/abcforkids/sites/playschool/about/weeklythemes/?theme=4266402 Episode 1 PRESENTERS Teo Gebert & Alex Papps PIANIST Peter Dasent STORY Grandma, the Baby and Me Author: Emma Allen Illustrator: Hannah Sommerville Publisher: Omnibus Books FILM New Baby (Play School, ABC) IDEAS FOR LATER - Use fruits and vegetables to make happy and sad faces on pita bread for lunch. - Have a look at some photos of you when you were a baby or toddler.
