Playground Tales Winters Flat Primary School

If your pet could talk what would they say? Feed me? Walk me? Maybe they’re a secret spy?
We go Into the Wild in this episode to get breaking news on a monster rampaging through the school, and imagine the conversations our pets would have if they could talk.
Real-life veterinarian Yvette Berkeley drops in and reveals why she cares for animals, and the animal she’d most like to be.

What amazes you about the human body? Do you get freaked out by your dreams?
For this episode we flex our muscles and bend our brain…
We go deep into our dreams (spoiler alert: they’re really weird!), talk sporting heroes, and find out what kids really think of adults.
We catch a thief red-handed in our playground news, get the latest poems and stories, and meet world-class para-athlete Michael Taylor, who shares his stories about competing in marathons all over the world. Oh, and his custom-built bicycle can go really, really, fast!.

Where would you go if you had a magic-trap door in your room? How about a giant playground, a secret gaming studio, or an island full of monkeys and animals?!
This episode is about make believe and fantasy, from dreaming up inventions like hover-boards and unlimited money, to stepping into time-machines and giving kids the power to change anything in the world.
We step into the vegetable patch to meet a slimy, clever little creature who lives there, Warren the Worm, and get his take on the best things about being small.
We’ve also got a Dr Seuss inspired story, poems, playground news and hidden sounds that are out of this world.
Listen now, and tell your friends. Who knows, you might end up learning something!
