Standing in a school hall in our underwear, a plummy female voice coming over the radio....
Now children, I want you all to crouch down, as far as you can go and tuck your arms into you as tight as possible. (Music playing) Now slowly start to stand up, very slowly and also very slowly let your arms come away from your body as you stand up, slowly, you are all little seedlings coming out of the earth for the first time....
Oh dear God !

A little bit from Wikipedia; "The BBC ran a Schools Music Department from the 1940s to the 1970s and broadcast the radio programme Music and Movement twice weekly: it was much used in the British primary education system. It was for a long time introduced by Ann Driver, consisted of various descriptive and dramatic exercises to music, and is remembered by pupils of the era with sentiments ranging from affection to horror."
