''Play School'' is an Australian Gold Logie, Logie Hall of Fame-winning educational television show for children produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It is the longest-running children's show in Australia, and the second-longest-running children's show worldwide. An estimated 80% of pre-school children under six watch the programme at least once a week.〔(ABC Brochure 2003 )〕 It is screened four times each weekday on ABC2's ABC4 Kids, at 6.00 am, 9.30 am, 12.30 pm and 3.30 pm (from 7 July 2014) and twice daily each weekend at 9.30 am and 3.30 pm. == History == ''Play School'' began production on 18 July 1966 based on a British programme of the same name. The first episode began transmitting that day, as the programme went out live. It has been produced continuously from this time. It has also launched the careers of several Australian actors and television presenters. Don Spencer is the only presenter to appear on both the British and Australian versions. It was admitted to the Logies Hall of Fame on its 40th anniversary in 2006, in recognition of the strong influence the show has had in at least three generations of Australian children. ''Play School'' was the third show to enter the Hall of Fame in its own right, after ''Four Corners'' (1992) and ''Neighbours'' (2005), it is also the first children's show inducted in the Logie Hall of Fame. During the presentation of the Logie Awards, a package showing memorable scenes from the show throughout its history was shown, before notable presenters (from past and present) came onto the stage with some of the favourite toys from the show. After these presenters accepted the award, the audience then joined them for a stirring rendition of the ''Play School'' theme. In 1992, a through-the-windows segment featured an early performance by the Australian children's musical group The Wiggles, performing the songs "Get Ready To Wiggle" and "Rock-A-Bye-Your-Bear" at a day care centre. On Monday 4 July 2011, ''Play School'' updated its opening titles using a combination of stop motion and computer animation with a new arrangement of the ''Play School'' theme song sung by presenters Jay Laga'aia and Justine Clarke. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Play School (Australian TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
