0:00:02 > 0:00:04# Come on and get on down to the city
0:00:04 > 0:00:07# Where the trains all clatter through
0:00:07 > 0:00:10# Hey! Look at that driver driving
0:00:10 > 0:00:12- # I want to ride that train of blue - Me too
0:00:12 > 0:00:15# I'm looking way up high to the windows
0:00:15 > 0:00:17# Take a peek for an inside view
0:00:17 > 0:00:20# All these people busy working
0:00:20 > 0:00:22# I want to see what they all do
0:00:22 > 0:00:25# Come on, let's weave around the market
0:00:25 > 0:00:27# Do you hear the hullabaloo?
0:00:27 > 0:00:30# Everybody's busy selling
0:00:30 > 0:00:33- # I wanna buy me something new - Me too
0:00:33 > 0:00:36# Look through the arches under the station
0:00:36 > 0:00:38# Down where the pigeons perch and coo
0:00:38 > 0:00:41# Take a taxi ride to the river
0:00:41 > 0:00:44# I wanna drive down the avenue
0:00:44 > 0:00:47# Hey, look at those buses gleaming
0:00:47 > 0:00:50# They look so clean and spanking new
0:00:50 > 0:00:52# All lined up to drive around the city
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- # Let me ting that bell - Ding, ding!
0:00:55 > 0:00:58# Going to ride on round to the school stop
0:00:58 > 0:01:01# Where the children hurry through
0:01:01 > 0:01:03# Sit down, the teacher's teaching
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- # I'd love to learn a thing or two- Me too
0:01:07 > 0:01:09# I love to skip in Riverseafingal
0:01:09 > 0:01:11# Riverseafingal, by the sea. #
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Seven o'clock.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18# Come on and get on down to the city
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- # Where the ferryboat sails are blue - Sails are blue
0:01:22 > 0:01:24# Time to call on Granny Murray
0:01:24 > 0:01:29# She'd love to say hello to you... #
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Hello, honey pie.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Come away in and see who's at home today.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41# Granny Murray's house has two at home to play
0:01:41 > 0:01:43# Granny Murray's house is home to... #
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Who's here today?
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Well, there's Hope and Cali.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Don't just sit there, poppets.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Let's get the toys out. That's the way!
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Oh, wow.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58"I'll eat them for my dinner."
0:01:58 > 0:02:03"No," said the king. "Why don't you come for a banquet in our castle?"
0:02:03 > 0:02:07"Oh! That'll be far tastier than us, eh?"
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Well, we've got Hope here.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13We've got Cali, but someone's missing from Granny's house today.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- CREAK! - Oh!
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Not any more. Who's coming home to Granny's today?
0:02:18 > 0:02:23Ah, it's Rebecca and Mickey John.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Hello there.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Mickey John, hello!
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Are you doing it by yourself?
0:02:30 > 0:02:36- Come in. Join in the fun, Rebecca. - What's going on?- Well...
0:02:36 > 0:02:39the children are playing with the wee people
0:02:39 > 0:02:42and making up stories about kings and queens.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I'm doing that with my class today -
0:02:45 > 0:02:48making up stories about kings and queens.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Oh, you copycat!
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Here, that's a good idea.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Why don't you dress Claude up as a queen?
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Let's have a wee sit-down.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06How about this for a story?
0:03:06 > 0:03:10There's a king called Peter and a queen called Jasmine.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15- They live in space.- Space?- On a meteorite going three trillion mph.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20There's no food there and they both have two sticky-up antennae
0:03:20 > 0:03:25- that spin round like yoyos and they only eat paparazicals.- Paparazicals?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Queen Jasmine has three gigantic crowns.- Oh, I'm a bit lost.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34So were they. Their map was made of banana and a monkey ate it!
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Oh, wait, wait, wait! I'm not really following your story.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- No?- I like to be able to picture where things happen in stories.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Hmm. I see.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49And I can picture where Claude should be now.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51On a throne!
0:03:55 > 0:03:58You look great, Claude. I mean, your highness.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03- Ha-ha-ha!- Oh, what's this? My own little king to take to work.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- Got a hug for Daddy? ..Ah-h!- Bye. - Well, I'd better go to school.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Have fun with your stories.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19Remember, I like to picture where things happen in stories.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24- Thank you. I'll see you later. - Thinking of you, darling.- Me too!
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Now, you keep a wee eye on Mickey John -
0:04:28 > 0:04:31make sure he goes the right way to work.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35I'm in a hurry. How can I speed across the river to work?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- BEEP! BEEP! - That's right. Thanks.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41# I'm in-in-in-in-in-in-in a hurry
0:04:41 > 0:04:44# I nee-nee-need to speed to work
0:04:44 > 0:04:47# I take a tic-tic-ticket on a speedboat
0:04:47 > 0:04:50# I'll be-be-be-be there quite quick
0:04:50 > 0:04:53# Hurry, hurry down the river
0:04:53 > 0:04:55# Splashing, splashing in the waves
0:04:55 > 0:04:59# Whining, whining, whining drives the speedboat
0:04:59 > 0:05:01# Chugga, chugga slows us down
0:05:02 > 0:05:05# Rocking, rocking, rocking to the dock
0:05:07 > 0:05:10# I'm in-in-in-in-in-in-in a hurry
0:05:10 > 0:05:13# I nee-nee-need to speed to work
0:05:13 > 0:05:17# I'm in-in-in-in-in-in-in a hurry! #
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Hurry, hurry, hurry!
0:05:20 > 0:05:24And hurry, hurry, hurry put my tie on.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34All snazzy and ready to go.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40Rebecca's king would make a great character in a story.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44I'm the dancing king. Anyone messing with me dances how I dance.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- What do you have to say to that? - Mickey John?- Oh! Hi, Rudi.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- I'm just making up a story. - It sounds brilliant.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I just brought back your audio tape.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Oliver Twist is brilliant! - One of my favourites.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Charles Dickens really brings the characters to life.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I can picture them. I like Fagin.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07"Oliver, my dear, you can trust Old Fagin."
0:06:07 > 0:06:10If you like stories, come back later.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14I'm making up a story. You could tell it to Jack tonight.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19Sounds brilliant. Toby can look after the stall and I'll pop back later.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I love making up stories.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26I wonder what stories Rebecca's making up with Granny Murray.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29# I love to skip in Riverseafingal
0:06:29 > 0:06:31# Riverseafingal, by the sea. #
0:06:31 > 0:06:34# I love to skip in Riverseafingal
0:06:34 > 0:06:36# Riverseafingal, that's for me. #
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Oh, Your Majesty! ..Do you want to sit on the throne?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Come on, then. Good girl.
0:06:44 > 0:06:50Wait till you meet the beautiful Princess Rebecca.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55If only your dad could see you now, eh?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I miss you, Daddy.
0:07:04 > 0:07:11Come along. Today we'll be making up kings-and-queens stories,
0:07:11 > 0:07:16I want you to draw characters that you may find in that kind of story,
0:07:16 > 0:07:23such as kings or queens, princes or princesses or soldier guards.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Now, let's have a look at what you've done.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40That's fantastic. Is he your knight? He looks very brave.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Oh, and a little princess as well.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Right then, who do we have here? - A queen.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52She's tall and skinny, isn't she? That's a good idea for a story.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Now what have we got here?- A knight. - A knight, yes.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Looks like a guard of the castle, doesn't he?
0:08:01 > 0:08:06These pictures are going to make an absolutely fantastic story.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I'll tell it to you after some schoolwork.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13# Oh, I whoop with joy when I go to school in the morning
0:08:13 > 0:08:18# Teaching with my chums and see the children learning
0:08:18 > 0:08:21# School day, work away
0:08:21 > 0:08:24# I'm learning, learning when I'm teaching
0:08:24 > 0:08:29# I'm teaching, learning, teaching, learning, teaching
0:08:29 > 0:08:35# School day, work away! Teaching to count and teaching to read
0:08:35 > 0:08:39# Learn about birds, plants and seeds! Playing outdoors
0:08:39 > 0:08:40# Keeping the scores
0:08:40 > 0:08:42# School day, work away!
0:08:42 > 0:08:44# I'm learning when I'm teaching
0:08:44 > 0:08:49# We're learning, learning, learning when he's teaching
0:08:49 > 0:08:54# School day, work away! Oh, the secretary's smiling
0:08:54 > 0:08:56# As she does her organising
0:08:56 > 0:09:00# The jannie fixes, the cookie mixes and the cleaner keeps shining
0:09:00 > 0:09:04# Oh, I whoop with joy when I go to school in the morning
0:09:04 > 0:09:07# Holding the line in the dinner queue
0:09:07 > 0:09:10# While the cookie serves us stew Answer questions
0:09:10 > 0:09:12# How does it fly?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14# School day, work away
0:09:14 > 0:09:17# I'm learning, learning as I'm teaching
0:09:17 > 0:09:22# Learning, learning, learning when he's teaching
0:09:23 > 0:09:26# School day, work away
0:09:26 > 0:09:29# The children eye me as they sit and try their writing
0:09:29 > 0:09:34# Take a look, I mark their books The good ones get a smiley
0:09:34 > 0:09:38# Oh, I whoop with joy when I go to school in the morning! #
0:09:38 > 0:09:44- All alone?- Hi, Raymond. What are you doing here?- Waiting for a lift.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Tina's bringing some children in her taxi.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52Does that mean you've got a moment? I need to scan in these pictures.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- Lead me to it.- Come on, then.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58OK, Raymondo, I'll put the pictures in the scanner.
0:09:58 > 0:10:04- You work the keyboard and check them on the monitor.- Go for it.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Oh, the King!
0:10:07 > 0:10:12"I'm very busy. I need my Royal Crown and a ham sandwich."
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Very good.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Oh, the Queen!
0:10:17 > 0:10:20"My husband and I enjoy skateboarding."
0:10:23 > 0:10:28- Oh, dear, oh, dear.- Oh, the Prince! "Hello, dude. Where's the party?"
0:10:31 > 0:10:36You're going to give me great ideas for the story!
0:10:36 > 0:10:37I'm not interrupting, am I?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Ah, there you are, love.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Shall we go?
0:10:42 > 0:10:47- Well, I think so. You don't want to miss your train, eh?- No, no, quite.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I hope the story is fab. Got to go.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I wonder what the story will be.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58I wonder how Rebecca would make up a story.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10So Queen Claude, do you love to eat jelly?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Me too!
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Come on, everybody. Let's eat some jelly.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31I bet your dad wishes he was eating jelly on a plate.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Can you see me?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43OK, there was once this king and this queen, right?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45The king was big and covered in gold
0:11:45 > 0:11:49and the queen was little and covered in silver.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54- Great characters.- Oh, hi, Rudi. I was doing my king and queen story.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59- Do you mind if I record it for Jack? - No, make yourself comfortable.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02What are the characters in my story like?
0:12:02 > 0:12:06The king had a big, fat tummy. The queen was as thin as a rake.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11The king smelt of cheese and the queen smelt of custard.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I think the characters are brilliant
0:12:14 > 0:12:19but you haven't told me where they are, so I can't picture it.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I'm still working out who's in it.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26I'll pop back later when you've decided what happens in the story.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Do you have any ideas to make the children listen to my story?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33You need action, things to happen.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37I want to know where the characters live and work.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Work it out and I'll be back later to listen.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Oh, my class will be back at any moment. Oh, gosh! Rudi's right.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52I've worked hard all morning to tell a story about a king and queen
0:12:52 > 0:12:56and I know who's in the story but I don't know what happens.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I haven't got a story. Where did the time go?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03At seven o'clock, I dropped off Rebecca at Granny Murray's.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Claude was dressed up as a queen.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Granny Murray made up stories about kings and queens.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I thought that was a great idea for my class too.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15At eight o'clock, I got to work.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20Rudi returned a tape he'd borrowed. He wanted to hear my story later.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24At nine o'clock, my class drew pictures of the characters
0:13:24 > 0:13:26who would be in the story.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31At 12 o'clock, Raymond called by while he was waiting for a lift.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35He helped me scan the pictures in, ready to be the story characters.
0:13:35 > 0:13:41At one o'clock, Rudi came back with a tape recorder to record my story.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43He liked the characters
0:13:43 > 0:13:46but he wanted to know what the story was all about.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Now, remember, I like to be able to picture
0:13:50 > 0:13:52where things happen in stories.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Of course! Granny Murray's right.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00I need a place to put all the children's exciting characters.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03I need a place that everyone can picture,
0:14:03 > 0:14:05especially if I take photos.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08I know just the place that a king and queen might live.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10It's a race against time!
0:14:10 > 0:14:14# I'm going to do it! I'm going to beat the clock before the chime
0:14:14 > 0:14:19# I'm going to sort it I'm going to do the job on time
0:14:19 > 0:14:22# Like a busy bee, I'll beat that bong,
0:14:22 > 0:14:26# I'm gonna finish this job before you finish that so-o-ong
0:14:28 > 0:14:32# I'm going to do it! I'll beat the clock before the chime
0:14:32 > 0:14:36# I'm going to sort it! I'm going to do the job on time
0:14:36 > 0:14:43# Like a busy bee, I'll finish this job before you finish that so-o-ong
0:14:47 > 0:14:51# Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock!
0:14:51 > 0:14:55# Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! Tick! #
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I don't know about you,
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- but I think I'm ready for the made-up story.- Me too.- Hi, Rudi.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Would you like to take your seat at my desk?
0:15:05 > 0:15:11OK, this is the story of King Peter and Queen Jasmine
0:15:11 > 0:15:14using your pictures and my castle.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Once upon a time there was a king and queen
0:15:19 > 0:15:22who lived in a big castle.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27In the castle they had lots of people to do everything for them.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30The trouble was, the King was a little dreamy,
0:15:30 > 0:15:34and whenever lunchtime came and the Queen sat down
0:15:34 > 0:15:38with all the princes and princesses, and the footmen brought the food
0:15:38 > 0:15:40the King was never there!
0:15:40 > 0:15:43He was always on the battlements
0:15:43 > 0:15:46dreamily thinking about all sorts of other things.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48So the Queen had a problem -
0:15:48 > 0:15:52how could she let the King know it was time for lunch?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Well, the Queen called everyone together
0:15:55 > 0:16:00and said, "How can we let my dear husband know that it's one o'clock?"
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Everyone scratched their heads in puzzlement
0:16:03 > 0:16:08until a little drummer-boy piped up, "I think you should fire the cannon
0:16:08 > 0:16:11"at one o'clock every day.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15"Then the King will know it's lunch time."
0:16:15 > 0:16:18The Queen thought this was a brilliant idea
0:16:18 > 0:16:21so every day the cannon was fired... Boom!
0:16:21 > 0:16:24..and the King was never late for his lunch,
0:16:24 > 0:16:28and the cannon has been fired at one o'clock every day since.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Amazing! Wonderful story!
0:16:33 > 0:16:37The Queen of Hearts She made some tarts
0:16:37 > 0:16:39All in a summer's day
0:16:39 > 0:16:42The knave of hearts He stole those tarts
0:16:42 > 0:16:45And took them clean away.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47That's silly, isn't it?
0:16:47 > 0:16:51I'm only kidding! They're right here.
