There's a bear in there, and a chair as well.
There are people with games and stories to tell.
Open wide, come inside.
It's Play School.
Two bananas in pyjamas. Oh, hello.
Oh, hello. We're going to draw some shapes around these toys today.
Shapes that are big, like big banana in pyjamas and big Ted.

There's a very big animal in our story today.
Sarah's going to tell it, but before the story, what do we do?
We look at the clock.
And what time does it say on the rocket clock today?
Well, the long hand is pointing straight down, so it's half past something.
And the short hand is pointing halfway between the three and the next number.
So it's half past three on the rocket clock.
And stand by for blast off.
Five, four, three, two, one, zero, blast off.
And what's underneath the clock today?
A hippopotamus on a roof.
And it's eating cake.
The story today is called, There's a Hippopotamus on Our Roof Eating Cake.
Sounds like a silly story.
It's told by this girl.
Our roof leaks.
Drip, drip, drip.
My dad says there's a hole in the roof.
I know why there's a hole.
There's a hippopotamus on our roof eating cake.
He can do what he likes.
But the hippopotamus doesn't like baths.
He's having a shower.
I know because I heard him.
There's a hippopotamus on our roof having a shower.
My big brother eats peanut butter sandwiches.
I eat honey sandwiches.
The hippopotamus is on the roof having a shower.
My big brother eats peanut butter sandwiches.
The hippopotamus on our roof eats cake all the time.
I asked about the cake. Is it birthday cake? No. Is it chocolate cake? No. Is it special cake? Yes.
There's a hippopotamus on our roof eating special cake.
A hippopotamus on the roof eating special cake.
Yesterday I fell over and cut my knee.
It hurt. There was a lot of blood.
At the hospital the doctor put three stitches in my knee.
I cried.
Last night the hippopotamus told me something.
He's got a sore knee too.
There's a hippopotamus on our roof with a bandage on his knee.
Has anyone ever had a sore knee?
There's a hippopotamus on our roof watching television.
He is very big. He can do what he likes.
Mummy won't let me watch television. After dinner and a story I have to go to bed.
My hippopotamus watches. I know he does.
There's a hippopotamus on our roof watching television.
My hippopotamus lives on the roof. He's my friend. I know.
He wasn't there last night. I know why. He told me. He went to work.
My hippopotamus works part time at the zoo.
Zoo visitors look at animals. At the zoo he watches people.
When he's not working my hippopotamus eats cake on our roof.
There's a hippopotamus on our roof riding a bike.
I've got a bike. Mummy won't let me ride on the road.
There are cars on the road. There are no cars on the roof.
He can ride anywhere. I know he can.
There's a hippopotamus on our roof riding a bike.
The men fixed the roof today. Bang, bang, bang.
They didn't see my hippopotamus.
He climbed down the ladder while the men had lunch.
He'll be back tonight. Then I can say there's a hippopotamus on our roof eating cake.
And that's the end of the story.
I'm eating cake like the hippopotamus in the story.
On the roof at night time.
This is the way we eat the cake. Eat the cake. Eat the cake.
This is the way we eat the cake. Up on the roof at night time.
Enough cake eating. What else did the hippopotamus do in the story?
He had a shower. Come on, lots of soap.
Are you showering?
This is the way we have a shower. Have a shower. Have a shower.
We have a shower. Up on the roof at night time.
And in the story the hippopotamus went for a bike ride. Come on. Don't fall over.
This is the way we ride the bike. Ride the bike. Ride the bike.
This is the way we ride the bike. Up on the roof at night time.
Let's go for another bike ride. Faster this time.
This is the way we ride the bike. Ride the bike. Ride the bike.
This is the way we ride the bike. Up on the roof at night time.
Enough bike riding. Up on the roof at night time.
Well, it's daytime now. Do you know what day it is today?
Let's have a look at the calendar.
Do you know what day it is today? Let's have a look.
It's Monday, the first day of the play school week.
Every day this week we're going to see a big dog and a little dog.
This is a story about two Bobs. One called Meg and one called Bob.
Bob is big and rather tall. Meg is little and really quite small.
Bob's coat is smooth and golden light. Meg's fur is curly and dark as night.
Bob walks slowly and gets there last. Meg loves to run. She's really quite fast.
Bob lies down and there he'll stay. Meg jumps up when she's out to play.
Bob loves to splash in a pool or creek.
Meg hates water and keeps dry feet.
Two different dogs but just the same when they enjoy a dog game.
Do you know there's a song about another dog called Bingo?
There was a farmer had a dog and Bingo was his name.
O-B-I-N-G-O
B-I-N-G-O
And Bingo was his name.
Another dog here. A big woofley dog.
And what's this dog's name?
His name is Woof Woof.
Woof Woof. Well we'd better sing about that then.

Woof Woof.
Well another dog here. It's Scrap. Hello Scrap.
And this is Scrap's shape.
There. What do you say?
Woof Woof. Oh I think he wants me to put an eye on his shape.
Alright Scrap. There you go. An eye for your shape.
Woof Woof. Well he likes that.
Alright Scrap you can sit there because I'm going to draw another shape now.

Hmm. And they're going to go for a ride.
One wheel. And another wheel.
Over here. And I wonder what's going to pull them along.
Let's have a look. See if you can guess what this is.
Can you guess? I'll give you a hint.
Can you guess? Some little wheels. Some big wheels.
A few more little wheels. And lots and lots of smoke.
A steam train. Woof Woof.
And we're going to see another steam train now through the windows.
And which window will we look through today?
Let's look through the arched window.
And there's the steam train.
Come on. We're going to go and hop on the train now.
Ticket. One for you and one for you.
And time to get on.
That's the conductor helping them on.
Find a seat.
Green flag that means go.
And off goes the steam train.
The fireman helps make the steam for the train to go and he comes this train puffing.
And going up the mountain.
A big black train coming up the mountain.
Black train, big black train. Take me up the mountain.
Big black train, big black train. Take me down again.
