Unfortunately, I'm kind of disappointed with this one - and it's not really the book's fault - but it no longer sits right with the TV series. identifies adult-led activities to introduce or develop children's understanding of the topic through stimulating, meaningful experiences which offer challenge. Music is an important element of Q Pootle 5. Producer Ben Butterworth says ″When we started to consider the music for the programme we didn’t want music to be just an accompaniment to the story, we wanted people’s experience to be enhanced by the music. The score had to be integral to the storytelling – creating atmosphere, adding nuance and subtlety, underpinning the emotional content of a story, driving the action of a scene, or making us laugh.″ [3] Characters [ edit ] Main characters [ edit ] For me it has been hugely satisfying to be able to widen the scope of what I have been trying to do in the field of children’s books. TV is a much more collaborative process than publishing. Working with Ben and Annette has allowed me to work with people I like and respect towards the common goal of creating a high quality, narrative based children’s TV series.

I think part of it is that he’s international because he is intergalactic. Percy the Park Keeper did get published internationally, but he has a quintessential Englishness which meant he was not quite so accessible. One real plus is the children being able to see the spaceship whizzing about and space noises are just great on TV, it really lends itself to the screen. Planet Dave lives within view of Oki Doki. He is big enough for everyone to land their ships on when they visit him, and is very old indeed. Anyone who doesn't have a child addicted to CBeebies (the 'early years' BBC channel) may not have heard of Q Pootle 5. I've become rather fond of him. He's an affable little green alien who lives on the planet Okiedokie, and potters around having gentle adventures with his alien buddies. Attach the bag of objects to the stone with string and tie on a note from Q Pootle 5: 'Dear all, I am having a lovely time with my friends on the moon. Hope you can join us. Love from Q Pootle 5.'

CGI gives us the opportunity to create very real environments and we knew with the right animators we could realise much more of our vision for the series.

suggests ways to enhance areas of core provision to consolidate children's learning about the theme. It is the practitioner's role to observe children's learning daily to inform individual children's Profiles and future planning. Children should be encouraged to use available resources to support their own learning, so the possible learning outcomes will be wide-ranging and varied for each child. It’s very different to my normal process where I spend months at the drawing board, as these books are using images from series, but we didn’t just do screen grabs. I asked the animators if they could set up scenes from the episode but make some changes because with screen grabs you’ll have the exact moment you want, which works brilliantly in animation, but when it’s just the one image, you end up with a tree or a telegraph pole growing out the top of their head! I spent a lot of time reposing images with animators and I’m thrilled with them, they’ve just come out as such great quality. Pass the stone around, encouraging children to look closely at it, and comment on their observations.Q Pootle 5 – the loveable alien – started life as a book character, but has most recently been catapulted into life on the screen.
