This winter, Australian children can slip on their gumboots and join Peppa Pig in getting all muddy while raising funds for other little ones, during Peppa Pig's Muddy Puddle Walk for Save the Children!
By participating, pre-schoolers around the country will help support Save the Children's work to give every last child the chance to learn, play and grow up healthy and happy.
Millions of children around the world are currently missing out on this due to factors including lack of access to health and education, abuse and neglect, and humanitarian emergencies. There's a whole week in which to host your own Muddy Puddle Walk, with the fundraising event running from Monday 13th-Sunday 19th August 2018.
By taking part in a Muddy Puddle Walk, children will continue to discover how much fun it is to explore the world around them.
Nikki Kerridge from Save the Children said a Muddy Puddle Walk is easy to take part in, and the perfect excuse to explore the outdoors with your little ones.
"We hope everyone will get outside this winter, come rain or shine, and help raise much needed funds for Save the Children," Nikki said.
"By jumping in muddy puddles like Peppa Pig and raising money for Save the Children you can help give disadvantaged children a brighter future."
Families can sign up individually, and child care centres and playgroups can join in too. There are rewards for everyone, with surprises from Peppa Pig including certificates and stickers plus magazines, books and DVDs.

The fundraising pack will also explain what life is like for children in different countries, helping preschoolers see just how they are making a difference through supporting Save the Children.
Peppa Pig's Muddy Puddle Walk for Save the Children Australia follows the oink-tastic success of Peppa Pig's partnership with Save the Children in the UK. Peppa Pig and Save the Children first worked together to support the Save the Children Den Day event in 2016, and then launched our co-branded Peppa Pig’s Muddy Puddle Walk in May 2017, raising over half a million pounds so far across the two events.

Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) has named Louise Bucknole as its new Vice President (VP) of programming, VIMN Kids.
In the newly created role, Bucknole is being tasked with driving ratings performance and brand strength for the Nickelodeon channels and Channel 5′s preschool programming block Milkshake! in the UK.
She will look to develop British preschool content to compete with global leaders in the field, continue to develop the VIMN Kids team and evolve both kids brands to continue to serve and reach their audiences.
In her Milkshake role, Bucknole will look to develop and commission British preschool content, and will also have a business development remit to work with commercial, consumer products and events teams to expand the brand and ensure best in class activations in addition to her responsibility to source for development commissioned and acquired content.
“Louise has an incredible wealth of experience in the children’s television industry across both the PSB and pay TV sectors and her expertise in scheduling and channel planning will help us to further drive ratings improvement for both Nickelodeon and Milkshake,” said Alison Bakunowich, Senior Vice President (SVP), General Manager (GM), Nickelodeon UK and Milkshake.
Bucknole will report into Bakunowich and will have a secondary reporting line into Ben Frow, director of programmes, Channel 5.
Most recently director of programming at Disney Channels UK and Ireland, Bucknole has been described as a passionate advocate of UK children’s content. In her previous role she was responsible for leading all strategic, editorial, commercial and operational aspects of content strategy. Bucknole was instrumental in key commissions including Goalmouth, First Class Chefs, Art Attack, Furry Friends, Access All Areas as well as acquisitions such as Curious George, Miraculous, Hotel Transylvania and Pokémon.
Prior to her six year stint at Disney, Bucknole worked as head of scheduling, BBC Children’s, where she oversaw content strategy for CBBC, CBeebies, the children’s blocks on BBC One, BBC Two and iPlayer.
Bucknole said: “I am delighted to be joining Viacom International Media Networks where I will work across both the Nickelodeon and Milkshake brands to bring much loved content to kids to excite, inspire and entertain them.
“This brings together my 20 years content and broadcasting experience across the commercial and PSB kids sectors and I can’t wait to join this brilliant team.”
The hire follows a number of recent deals for Milkshake!, including a third-season commission for Nevision’s hybrid series Floogals and a pickup of the new 22nd season of Mattel’s Thomas & Friends. Recent activity for Nick UK, meanwhile, includes the launch of a Nick Jr. Adventure Centre last month and the acquisition of all five seasons of Novel Entertainment’s Horrid Henry, with a further 42 new episodes currently in development, which are set to premiere on Nicktoons UK & Ireland from 2019.
Nickelodeon is currently the number one commercial broadcaster in pay TV homes and Channel 5 Milkshake is set for its fifth year of growth.

Doo-wop and soul singer Eugene Pitt has sadly passed away at the age of 80. Pitt was the lead singer for Eugene Pitt & The Jive Five, who created doo-wop classics such as "My True Story", "Never, Never", and "What Time Is It?", and who are widely credited in helping Nickelodeon become the number one channel for kids in the '80s.
In 1985, Pitt and The Jive Five were introduced to New York cable TV branding consultants Fred Seibert and Alan Goodman of Fred/Alan Inc. by his latest producer, Ambient Sound's Marty Pekar. Together with Fred/Alan producer Tom Pomposello they embarked on an almost ten-year relationship, creating and singing the a cappella signature sound of the Nickelodeon, one of the first popular network specialized cable television channels. They used the group to write and record some of the most memorable advertising jingles of their day with the iconic catch phrase, "Nick-Nick-Nick", performed in a doo wop style. They also sang jingles for Nickelodeon's early Kid's Choice Awards, and later, they worked on ID's for HBO Family in 1999. When Fred/Alan Inc. relaunched Nickelodeon in the 1980s, they helped to move the kids' television network from worst to first in the ratings in the six months.
Stated on the group's Facebook page: "~~~It is with a heavy heart that I announce, on behalf of the Pitt family, the passing early this morning of the legendary lead singer of Eugene Pitt & The Jive Five, Mr. Eugene Pitt. Eugene had been ill for some time, but was in good spirits with love for his family, friends and fans. My heart breaks for his family and close friends. I ask for people to respect the family's privacy at this time. Funeral arrangements will be announced at a later date. The best of the best has joined the heavenly choir. Rest In Peace, my friend. Godspeed and God Bless.~~~ Mary Garcelon".
In tribute to the Nickelodeon legend, please enjoy a montage of Eugene Pitt & The Jive Five's iconic Nickelodeon Ident's in the video below. More information about how Eugene Pitt & The Jive Five became the signature sound of Nickelodeon in the '80s can be read here on fredalan.org.
R.I.P. Eugene Pitt, November 6, 1937 – June 29, 2018.
Update (7/2) - Fred Seibert has paid tribute to the life and work of Eugene Pitt in his latest Tumblr blog post:
R.I.P. Eugene Pitt
I’ve been singing all the great Eugene Pitt & The Jive Five Nickelodeon doo-wops (more about them here) to myself for the past 24 hours, since I got the sad news of Eugene’s passing, so I thought I’d share a few. Of course, if you’re a certain age –somewhere around 40– you probably already know them. Older or younger, not so much. But with its initial explosion of popularity, Eugene Pitt was the sound of Nickelodeon.
“Nick-Nick-Nick-Nick-Nick-Nick-Nick-Nick…”
“Hon De Laud Hup Hivel Up Nick..”
“Aren’t you glad {You’re watchin’!} you’ve got your Nickelodeon?” (AKA, Orange You Glad)
There’s a lot one can say about this extraordinary talent, but Terry Stewart, ex-CEO of the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame and Marvel Comics, said it best.
“Eugene Pitt is the most underrated soul singer in America.”
My ex-partners Alan Goodman and Tom Pomposello could only completely agree. We’ve always been excited, but completely confused, that The Jive Five were more famous for our work together on Nickelodeon than for their own fabulous recordings (their greatest hits playlist is below).
In fact, it was Alan’s persuasion that convinced Nick’s power that were that a 30 year past-its-prime musical style should represent the channel to the children of the world.
When management was skeptical Alan went right for it. He opened his mouth and, quoting The Marcels’ arrangement of chestnut “Blue Moon,” sang:
“What kid isn’t going to love that right away?” Alan asked.
Case closed.
Eugene Pitt was introduced to us by music advertising copywriter-turned-music producer Marty Pekar. His Ambient Sound label was busy resurrecting the careers of doo-wop singers during the 80s, and we asked his advice for an a cappella group for some of our work.
“The only one I could recommend, in good conscience,” said Marty, “would be Eugene Pitt. He’s not only fantastic, he’s really smart. He’ll have ideas of his own and make sure the band is rehearsed and on time. A rarity with singing groups.”
Marty was right, and we started a decade long relationship that was exceptional.
Here’s a few of Eugene bonuses. Check out this post about the day that Eugene worked with Aaron Neville and Keith Richards, recording Eugene’s composition “My True Story.” You can hear the Jive 5 rendition, and some of their greatest hits in the playlist below.
And then there’s a unique performance of the group that Alan just digitized from a funky VHS he has. It’s the very first Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards at Universal City. Alan and our partner/producer Albie Hecht decked the Jive 5 out in Nickelodeon orange performance tuxedos and they gave a unique, exuberant rendition of the awards rules. Choice!
