I didn't manage to watch all of it - but I saw the part where they introduced Daisy - a girl with CP who uses a wheelchair to the group.
It was fascinating to see how the other kids reacted. They were quite curious about the wheelchair and knew that there was something a bit different about Daisy. Although they weren't negative about it - they also didn't really quite understand how to include Daisy in the group and needed a bit of adult intervention to explain to them.

Alex, i saw it, it was very good, there should be a lot more things like this on tv, to try and let other children now all about different disabilaties, so as they get older they understand a lot more.
