For the Juniors, for students aged 6-8 years, aims to stimulate children's curiosity and imagination, widen their horizons and encourage them to explore their environment, present enjoyable experiences which relate broadly to the lives and interests of the children and raise issues.

Each series is arranged in groups of programs relating to a particular theme.

How many children believe that food comes from the supermarket? This series of six programs looks at what happens to certain foods before they reach the supermarket shelves.

How do the crops grow? What does the farmer do? What happens after harvesting? How are they processed and, finally, how do we eat them? Comparisons are made between the needs of the crop with our needs as humans for nutrition. Why are these foods good for us?

Each program features a cartoon animal that prompts children to question or ponder the issues raised.

Date	Episode Information
Monday 26 May 10.00am	01. Milk This program shows how milk gets from the cow to the table. To produce milk cows need lush green grass and a calf, as they produce milk as food for their calves. While the calves are drinking their mother's milk the cow continues to produce milk. Dairy farmers take the calves away but milk the cows so the cows bodies thinks they are still feeding their calves, but they are really producing milk for the farmer to sell. The program shows how the farmer milks his cows and how it is then pasteurised and homogenised before being put into containers ready for sale.

Monday 2 June 10.00am	02. Honey Why doesn't all honey look and taste the same? Where does honey come from? Why do bees make honey? These are some of the questions answered in this program . The program looks at how bees live in communities in which every bee has a very special job to do. The queen is in charge and other bees make sure she is well looked after and that her eggs and her young bees are also well cared for. Some of the worker bees go out to collect nectar from flowers and when they return other worker bees turn it into honey and store it in the honey comb. This is food for the colony when there are no flowers around. Bee keepers - apiarists - collect this stored honey, separate it from the honey comb and sell it. The program also looks at how apiarists farm their bees.

Follow the apples to the markets. Learn how fresh apples are processed into apple juice and apple cider vinegar. This program features a friendly cartoon fruit bat.
