There’s another new arrival at Wigley Primary. At first Samir finds it hard to settle in, but with a bit of help from Noodle the doodle, he starts to feel at home. When the class decide to put on a talent show to raise money for charity, Samir can’t decide what to do – until his new best buddy Noodle gives him an amazing idea. Can the children in the class prove that Wigley’s got talent … or will Noodle steal the show?
