Apple Tree House

Sam and Bella are very excited about their performance for their dance class, but when Bella suggests dressing up and having fancy hairstyles Sam becomes uncomfortable and avoids practice.

When Bella is elected class council representative, Sam is a little put out. She has lots of ideas to help make school better and fancied having the role for herself.

Determined to make a bit of a splash with her cornet solo Bella's been practicing hard for the community concert. However, when Bella suddenly announces she no longer wants to join in with the performance Sam is concerned.

Bella's excited that her friend's mum is getting married. Bella sets her heart on getting a new dress to that will be as beautiful as her friends.

David is enjoying listening to stories of Kobi's childhood. Bella, Mali and Sam are excited to hear about David's own stories and David is enjoying the attention he is getting from his friends.

Kobi needs to paint a wall on the estate but can't work out which colour to use. Mali, Sam and Bella aren't keen on Kobi's options and are very keen for him not to use the grey from the left over tin.

David feels left out when Sam and Bella go on a trip with their dance class. Initially Kobi suggests playing with the new jigsaw but there's a piece missing.

Sam is upset at all the chores she has to do at home, meanwhile David has none to do. Helping her dad fix a shelf and watering the plants makes Sam late joining Bella and Mali.

When Mali and Bella see a person dressed like a spaceman, in the community garden, they are worried about aliens invading the estate but grandma Zainab points out that he's actually a bee keeper looking after honey bees.

Walking in the local park Bella and Mali learn about how rings in the trunk show the age of a tree. Bella is then curious about the apple tree on the estate. How old is their apple tree?

Sam and Bella are back from their summer holidays. Sam's hoping Mali got all the postcards she sent but he's nowhere to be seen.

Sam is confused, she can't work out what David is up to as he looks around for something 'new'.

David's friend Laila is keen to look after the school hamster, Nibbles, during the holiday but her dad isn't so keen.

Bella and Mali are desperate to join Sam and her cousins at Carnival but they are disappointed when there's no adult around who can take them.

Sam's upset David by telling him stories about going to the dentist. There's no way that Kobi or Patience are going to convince David to go for his check up now.

After Grandma Zainab tells Bella all about news and newspapers Bella works out what she wants to be when she grows up.

Worried about what his football team mates might think Mali chooses to help Kobi tidy the shed rather than join Bella and Sam at dance class.

Mali's dad has brought Grandma Zainab tickets to watch cricket live. Mali tells his gran that he doesn't want to watch the match because 'cricket's boring'.

Bella's desperate to have a baby sister, or brother, just like Mali. News that Sam might be getting a foster brother or sister encourages Bella to ask even more questions about families and especially babies.

David's thoughts are dominated by his first sports day at the school and, inspired by Olympic heroes, the children think about funny poses to strike as they cross the line.

Mali's in a rush and Grandma Zainab urges him to take a little more time over making the picnic.

Sam's not happy that David has lost her frisbee. Zainab and Mali turn their attentions away from playing pirates to help make a map that could find the missing frisbee.

When David has a problem at school he gets worries about all the school rules. When Zainab tells him that everyone has to follow rules, Mali and Bella help him consider the rules that help everyone's life.

David is super excited at the prospect of writing a poem for the Apple Tree community poetry event.

David's worrying about his 'All About Me' poster that he's preparing for school and he seems completely disinterested in the postcard that's just arrived from his Grandma.
