Young children love watching, playing with and learning about animals – whether they are animals in the wild, animals at a farm or zoo or a family pet. Each day Play School concentrates on a different animal – lions on Monday, elephants on Tuesday, polar bears on Wednesday, tigers on Thursday and gorillas on Friday. We show a film of this animal in the wild, and look at the way it moves, looks, the noises it makes, and how it cares for its young.
