# Sit down, the teacher's teaching

-# I'd love to learn a thing or two

-Me too!

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, by the sea... #

Eight o'clock.

# Riverseafingal, that's for me

# Come on and get on down to the city

# Where the ferryboat sails at noon

# Time to call on Granny Murray

# She'd love to say hello to you. #

Me too!

Hello, honey pie! Come in and see who's at home today.

# Granny Murray's house has two at home to play

# Granny Murray's house is home to... #

Who's here today?

Well, there's Hope and there's Rachel.

Don't just sit there, treacle pies! Let's get busy!

Hello! Hello! Hello! Can you hear my voice?

-Hello! Hello!

-SHE GIGGLES

-What does that look like?

-A telephone.

-It does! Well done.

We'll push the hole right through. That's the way.

Then tie and pull it through.

-Hello! Hello, Rachel! Hello, Hope!

-Hello!

-Hello!

Someone's missing today.

-GATE SQUEAKS

-Ah, not any more!

Whose legs are those coming down the steps?

Oh, it's Lisa...

with Raymond. Hello, there!

-Raymond!

-Hiya, Granny Murray.

And Lisa!

Oh! What a laugh we've had.

We're very busy in here. It's like the telephone exchange.

Natter, natter, natter. Lisa loves to chat.

She'll have plenty to talk about today.

We're going to have a look round the police station.

Oh, wow! I've always wanted to play the part of a policeman.

Mmm-mm. Oh.

That's a good idea. Why don't you guys dress Claude up as a policeman?

There we are. I've always liked a man in uniform, Raymond.

-Well, step this way, madam.

-Oh, don't mind if I do!

Well, I did remember to bring Lisa's roller skates.

-That uniform suits him!

-I'll just find the other one.

-What's that?

-A roller skate.

-But what for?

-For Lisa.

-Oh! Is she going skating?

-Yes.

-That's nice. Who's she going with?

I thought she was going with you. Isn't she...going roller-skating?

-No, she isn't, is she?

-No, we're just going to the police station.

Oh, I must've misunderstood. I thought Tina said...

It's very important to have clear lines of communication.

-Right.

-So everybody knows what the other is talking about.

-Well, I better get to work.

-Oh-ho! Look at Claude! What a dish!

-Oh, ho-ho!

-Afternoon, officer!

-Well done, everyone.

-Here you are.

-Oh!

Are those for me? Thanks, Lisa.

-You're a kind girl!

-Bye!

-See you later, angel.

I better get to work.

OK, my darlings. You play there and I'll see Daddy out.

Remember, it's important to have clear lines of communication.

Thanks, Granny Murray. Have a fun day.

-Thanks, darlin'. We'll be thinking of you.

-Me too!

You keep an eye on Raymond - make sure he gets the right way to work.

I'm a bit late for work today.

Can you tell me a quick way to get there?

-HORN BLOWS

-Thanks!

# I'm in, in, in, in, in, in in a hurry

# I need, need, need to speed to work

# I take, take, take a ticket on the metro

# I'll be, be, be, be, be there quite quick

# Hurry, hurry, hurry on the train lines

# Clatter, clatter, clatter at the points

# Wind, wind, wind drives the speed up

# Squeaking, squeaking, squeaking slows us down

# Clatter, clatter now squeak to our stop

# I'm in, in, in, in, in, in in a hurry

# I need, need, need to speed to work

# I'm in, in, in, in, in, in in a hurry. #

Hurry, hurry, hurry! OK, so we're here.

Before I can get down to work, I have to change. Busy, busy, busy!

All stocked up and ready to go.

It's going to be very busy today.

Hello, madam, you're my first customer. What would you like?

Milk?

A glass of water?

Oh, dear!

-Hi, Raymond.

-Hi, Bobby. How are you?

I'm great, thanks. Hi...Samantha.

Can I help you?

"I'd like orange juice, please."

Can I have a bottle of water?

Oh! One bottle of orange juice

and one bottle of water. Thanks, Bobby.

That's OK. Samantha's deaf. She uses sign language to talk.

Oh! Sorry, I'm not very good at sign language.

-Thank you. "Thank you."

-You're welcome.

I didn't know you were with us.

I'm with children from the deaf school

and we're going to see gymnastics.

That sounds great! What will you see there?

So, what will we see there?

Some somersaults...

and cartwheels.

-That sounds great fun! Well, that's £2.50, please.

-OK.

-There you go.

-Thanks.

-Bye.

-Bye!

Oh! I wonder how Lisa's getting on at the police station?

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, by the sea

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, that's for me. #

-Who wants to look at the police van?

-ALL: Yeah!

There's our blue lights. And do you want to make a noise?

-Yeah?

-SIREN

-There's a different noise.

-SIREN

Oh, Lisa, if only your dad could see you now!

LISA: Are you having fun, Daddy? HORN BLARES

BOTH: Service!

Oh, hiya, guys!

-Nice to see you.

-I've got...

Water, coffee, juice or tea. Choose anything you can see.

Biscuits, cakes, bakes or any sandwich I can make.

Would you like BLT, egg, sausage, beef or ham and cheese?

Bread or roll, brown or white - I'll get it right.

Two bottles of...

-Two bottles of water.

-No, make that one bottle of water.

-One bottle of water.

-Yes, please, with two...

-Two...?

-..straws.

-One bottle of water and two straws coming up.

-Thanks.

-BOTH: See ya later.

Bye. Well, they were easily pleased. Now it's time to start work.

RAYMOND SINGS

Hello, there! What can I get you?

OK. What do you want to eat?

So, that's a cheese sandwich.

Cheese sandwich.

-An apple.

-Apple.

-And another apple...

-Right.

-..please.

BRAKES SCREECH

-Oh!

-Well, coming up.

-Are we there yet?

-Eh...

12 o'clock. We're not meant to arrive anywhere yet.

That's £2, please.

-There you go.

-Thank you.

-Well, we'd best get back to our seats.

PHONE RINGS

Buffet car, Raymond speaking. ..Hello, Dave!

Do you know what's going on? The train's stopped,

but it's 12 o'clock. We're not due to arrive anywhere yet. ..I see.

There's been a problem. ..So we've stopped, just as a precaution.

Keep me updated. Thanks, Dave. Bye!

It appears we have a bit of a problem, Sarge.

I wonder how Lisa's getting on at the police station.

-ON POLICE RADIO:

-OK, Sarge, what's that?

..Yeah. ..Cow near the line, Drumtrim locality.

Oh, did you hear that? There's a cow near the railway line.

Oh, Lisa, I hope your dad's not been delayed by that cow. Oh!

What are are you doing on the train, Daddy?

-PHONE RINGS

-Oh!

Fooled you!

Hello, Raymond speaking.

..Oh, no! There's a what?

..There's a cow near the railway line?!

..The train'll be delayed for some time, as a precautionary measure.

Oh, people aren't going to be happy.

..What?! So everyone can have a complimentary drink

and something to eat to make up for the delay?

..Great idea! Thanks. Bye.

-Hello, again!

-Another bottle of water, is it?

-No, thanks, I'm really hungry.

-Me too! I thought we'd be there by now.

-There's been a bit of a problem.

-What's going on?

There's a cow near the railway line.

-Is it trying to catch the train?

-I hope it has a ticket!

-The train's been stopped cos there's a cow near the railway line.

-Oh, no!

But the management say everyone can have a free drink

-and something to eat.

-Fantastic! But...

-What would you like?

-Do you know how busy the train is?

-Do you think you'll be able to serve everyone?

-Of course I will.

You will?

Yes. Well, once I know what everyone wants, I will.

But how will I be able to find out what everyone wants?

Oh, no! I've a train full of hungry passengers

and it's lunchtime already!

How will I ever get all those orders?

Where did the time go?

At eight o'clock, I went to Granny Murray's to drop off Lisa.

I was mixed up, cos I thought Lisa was going skating, but she wasn't.

She was going to the police station.

The children dressed up Claude as a policeman.

At nine o'clock, I arrived at work.

I learned sign language with deaf children

Bobby was taking to gymnastics.

-At 12 o'clock, the train stopped.

-BONG!

At one o'clock, I heard there was a cow near the railway line.

To be safe, the train was stopped.

The management decided everyone could have a free drink and snack.

But the Ferryboat Band told me how busy the train was.

How could I find out what everybody wanted?

Now, remember, it's important to have clear lines of communication.

Clear lines of communication.

Communication... Clear...

Of course! I know. What's up Raymond? Can I help?

You're who I need. You and the children

could take the snack orders and sign them down the train to me!

That would be clear! Everyone would get what they ordered.

It's a race against time!

BONG!

# I've got to do it I've got to beat the clock's chime

# I've got to sort it I've got to do the job on time

# Like a busy bee I'll beat that bong

# I'll finish the job before you finish this so-o-ong

-# I'm going to do it

-He's going to beat that chime

-# I'm going to sort it

-He'll finish what he has begun

# Like a busy bee, I'll beat that bong

# I'll finish the job before you finish this so-o-ong

# Tick-tock, tick-tock

# Tick-tock, tick-tock

# Tick-tock, tick-tock

# Tick! #

-Is that the last one?

-The very last.

-Have a seat.

-I think we deserve this.

-Mmm. Thank you.

Lisa will never believe there was a cow near the railway line.

TAPPING ON KEYBOARD

Remember, Lisa, you only call 999 in a real emergency.

Moo! Moo!

Look, the cow has been successfully removed, away from the railway line.

It just shows how important clear lines of communication are.

Everybody knows what everybody else is doing.

Lisa, I hope that cow didn't cause problems for your dad.

DING!

HORN TOOTS

-Raymond!

-Hi, Granny Murray.

-Hello. Through you come.

Look who's here, Lisa.

-Hi, Lisa.

-Hello.

-Did you have a fun time with Granny Murray?

-We had a fab time.

-Are you gonna say thanks to Granny Murray?

-Oh!

-Thank you.

It's a big thank-you from me, Granny Murray. I remembered what you said.

It's important to have clear lines of communication.

-It saved the day.

-Well, I never did!

Come on, you two'll want to be off home.

Oh, good girl!

-Look forward to next time.

-Me too!

Lisa, let's talk about our time away.

And I suppose you'll want ME to tell YOU all about my time, too!

Well, there was...

# Waving, painting, creeping, jumping

# Chasing, laughing, singing, sliding

# Hunting, hiding, jumping up and turning round

# Dressing up and sitting down! #

But what was really special about today? Well...

Claude was dressed as a policeman cos we visited the police station.

Lisa pretended to drive a police car.

There were policemen talking on walkie-talkies

and using the radio to contact other police stations.

A message came in - there was a cow near the railway line.

We wondered if Raymond's train had to stop.

Another message came through - the cow had been moved.

When Raymond came home, he said he was on the train delayed by the cow.

The line is clear. The cow has been successfully removed.

Repeat - the line is clear!

D'you think I sound like a policeman?

Did you enjoy yourself? Me too!

Bye-bye, honey pie!
