No one can escape Bella's singing. She's determined to make herself be heard ahead of the school choir concert, but there's the small matter of this week's spellings that must be learned first. The children learn about night school and that learning isn't just for kids. This brings a surprise as Bella's dad Ian overcomes a childhood fear.

It's no secret that Mali wants to become an astronaut, but when a relative suggests that he will never go to space he becomes a bit sad. However, his friends are about to teach Mali that he can be anything he wants to be.

Sam and Bella are back from their summer holidays. Sam's hoping Mali got all the postcards she sent, but he's nowhere to be seen. Worried that Mali's sad because he had to stay at Apple Tree House all summer, they hunt around for him believing that he'll need cheering up. When they finally track him down they are surprised that Mali is feeling exhausted from his amazing 'home holiday' and has his own postcards of all the cool adventures he's had. Bella and Sam realise a holiday is a time to have fun - wherever you are!
