Series 305: Round and Round
This week in Play School we discover things that go round and round!
Join us as we spin the Spinners are Grinners Wheel and learn about things that twist, turn and twirl in the home, on the farm, in the city and outdoors.
We also explore body movement, see how wheels help us move and look through the windows to see some children sing Ring a Ring a Rosie, have a teddy bears’ picnic and play with things that go round and round in the park!
