About this film
Fourways farm is a delightful, animated puppet soap opera that introduces young children to basic science through the use of short, amusing stories about life on the farm. There is always something interesting going on down on Fourways Farm with Davenport the sheep-dog, Brenda the duck, Dudley the pig, Ginger the lazy cat, Martha the cow, Godfrey the horse and the mischievious Rat Pack - Uno, Duo & Trio and it all happens under the watchful eye of Voltaire, the wise weather-cock who presides over events from his rooftop perch. Who's Been Eating? - The mysterious disappearence of food introduces the rats to the farm but who eats what - and why? A Drop of the Hard Stuff - Why has the pond gone all hard? The animals discover the relationship between ice and water. Material Differences - What can be done to mend the roof of Dudley's style? Only the right material will do. Ups & Downs - The rats trick the animals with a pulley but what rises and what falls - and why? The Sound of Music - The animals discover that there are lots of ways of making sounds but not all are musical!
