Seasons

1. Fish Supper

Air Date:

Miss Hoolie is holding a fish supper for the children's grandparents. Spencer makes some decorations to jazz up the nursery. Miss Hoolie asks Spencer to make a fishing game, which he does, with some help from Archie, but Spencer forgets to order the fish and chips for Miss Hoolie. Without fish and chips, there wouldn't be a fish supper. Spencer goes to Pocket and Sweet's, but they don't have enough fish. Penny says to try the fish and chip trailer at the pier. The trailer doesn't have enough fish either. Suzie and Spencer go off quickly and buy some fresh fish from the fishermen, and the fish are cooked at the trailer. Spencer brings the fish to the nursery to eat. They are delicious!

2. The Power Cut

Air Date:

This morning, the electricity goes off and nothing works, not even the TV. Archie decides to invent a TV that doesn't need electricity, but it doesn't have any pictures. So Spencer uses some paintings, then tells a story using socks from his washing basket. It is the Three Billy Goats Gruff, and it is so funny!

3. Beach Ball

Air Date:

The school children are looking forward to josie telling them all about different ways to travel but since she has only been on the ferry she does not have any. Does anyone else have the answer.

4. The Missing Scarecrow

Air Date:

Sadie notices that the scarecrow is missing from the nursery vegetable patch. It had vanished. Edie asks PC Plum if he could help find the missing scarecrow. PC Plum owned up to breaking the missing scarecrow. He'd mistaken it for a burglar. Edie takes the broken scarecrow to Archie. If anyone could fix it, Archie could. And he does, too, with a little help from all the children.

5. Storm in a Nursery

Air Date:

Edie arrives at the nursery looking for a lifejacket and sounding worried about her sailing trip with PC Plum. Miss Hoolie tries to make Edie feel better by saying how Miss Hoolie loves sailing. It works. Edie goes home all excited and daring to go on PC Plum's boat. Unfortunately, a storm means they have to cancel the boat trip. Edie is fed up and PC Plum sends her along to see Josie, who takes Edie on a pretend sea trip. The children and Miss Hoolie go, too. It is a great, fun day on the ocean waves for Edie after all.

6. Walking the Dog

Air Date:

Today, Josie Jump is looking after a dog named Ralph. She goes to see Edie McCredie for advice on how to keep the dog amused, but Edie thinks Ralph is a boy. P.C. Plum gives Josie some tips on looking after the dog, and they take it for a walk in the park with some of the nursery children.

7. Art Gallery

Spencer comes this morning with a bag of coloured paper that he doesn't know what to do with. Miss Hoolie tells him to visit Archie, who has ideas of making party hats and a kite tail. In the end, Archie and Spencer make a book. Suzie thinks the book would make a perfect photo album for the children at the nursery, one they could keep to remind them of their seal trip. Penny gives Spencer some cameras. Spencer and the children dash down to the harbour to catch a boat. What a wonderful day they had. And what a wonderful photo album they made.

9. Hair Cut

Air Date:

PC Plum is having trouble keeping his long floppy fringe out of his eyes. He tries out a visor, but his helmet keeps falling off while he's on his bike. Edie suggests some rather undignified solutions, like curlers and a shower cap. P.C. Plum refuses these suggestions, and goes to Archie for advice. Archie realises that P.C. Plum is making excuses, and says that the only solution is to get his hair cut.

10. Jungle Story

Air Date:

Miss Hoolie hopes to take the children into the garden, but it is raining. Josie pops in. Miss Hoolie asks her to tell the children a story about animals.

Edie tells Josie about the jungles of Africa, so Josie comes back and tells the children a fantastic jungle story.

11. Feeding the Lambs

She seems to love her first present.

16. The Lost Voice
