Play School - Helping Hands

This series of Play School is all about helping hands. The concept of helping is central to how children develop; both through the help that others give them and through the opportunities young children have to help others. Children learn socially and collaboratively through interactions with others, these interactions are frequently framed as 'helping'. Finding opportunities to help others and knowing how to seek help when it is needed are important abilities for children. These interactions make a strong contribution to children's social and emotional development, as well as driving cognitive and physical development through the activities that occur when help is given. Helping is a common daily activity and the series presents it in many forms. However helping is always positive and rewarding, even when it is in challenging circumstances. "Helpful Humpty" faces one challenge after another in this series and he demonstrates kindness, resourcefulness and resilience as he helps others. Humpty finds helping rewarding and is "happy to help!". We encourage children to do the same!

Fish Hooks

This inventive animated comedy series, set inside a giant fish tank in Bud's Pet Shop, presents high school life as seen through the eyes of three BFFs (best fish friends), Bea, Milo and Oscar. Together they experience the typical life challenges and triumphs, including friendship, dating and sports, along with more atypical situations such as giant lobster attacks and, with the use of special land suits, school field trips to the hamster cages. The series was created by children's book illustrator Noah Z. Jones and features a notable voice cast. It's produced using an innovative mixture of digital animation and photo collage
