Harold’s Surprise - Early Stage 1 (Kindergarten)
Possum holds a party in the park for the friends who looked after her while she was sick. Harold and the class
are invited to the party and are asked to take some healthy food. They have lots of fun following the map to the
picnic spot in the park. Issues are raised when one of the children incurs a minor injury on the slide in the park
and a discarded syringe is found in the park. As well as providing some delicious party food, Possum has a
surprise for everyone at the party. The surprise is in a big wrapped box which the class gets to open at the end
