Sports Day Me Too!

# Come on and get on down to the city

# Where the trains all clatter through

# Hey! Look at that driver driving

-# I want to ride that train of blue

-Me too

# I'm looking way up high to the windows

# Take a peek for an inside view

# All these people busy working

# I want to see what they all do

# Come on, let's weave around the market

# Do you hear the hullabaloo?

# Everybody's busy selling

-# I wanna buy me something new

-Me too

# Look through the arches under the station

# Down where the pigeons perch and coo

# Take a taxi ride to the river

# I wanna drive down the avenue

# Hey, look at those buses gleaming

# They look so clean and spanking new

# All lined up to drive around the city

-# Let me ting that bell

-Ding, ding!

# Going to ride on round to the school stop

# Where the children hurry through

# Sit down, the teacher's teaching

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

-Me too

# I love to skip in Riversea Fingal

# Riversea Fingal by the sea... #

Eight o'clock.

# Come on and get on down to the city

-# Where the ferryboat sails are blue

-Sails are blue

# Time to call on Granny Murray

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

Me too!

Hello, honey pie! Come away 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, we've got Hope and we've got Robbie.

Don't just sit there, sausages - come on! Let's have some fun!

Boing! Boing!

Is that fun?

So, are we ready?

One, two, three...

go!

Round she goes.

Yeah!

Do you love the egg and spoon race?

Me too!

That's the way.

We've got Robbie and we've got Hope,

but someone's missing from home today.

Oh, not any more!

Who's coming home to Granny Murray?

Och, it's Rebecca!

With Mickey John!

Hello, there!

Hello, Mickey John!

Wow! It looks like a gymnasium in here!

Well, we're practising for coming to your school later for sports day.

-I'm looking forward to it!

-Me too!

Why don't you dress Claude up as an Olympic gymnast, eh?

Looks like he could win a few medals.

-I'll race you to a comfy chair.

-Oh, Mickey John!

-The winner!

-So how are the preparations going for sports day?

-Good so far, but I've still got so much to organise.

-You'll be fine!

-Everyone will have a great time.

-Well...

-Oh, dear. Something bothering you?

-The weather.

We have to have sports day outside, but today's supposed

-to be a showery day with patches of rain all over.

-Don't worry, pet.

Wait for a break in the clouds, and all will be fine. You'll see. ..Oh!

Look at Claude!

SHE LAUGHS

Oh, Claude, you look like a champion gymnast.

'There you are.'

What's that, Rebecca? Is that for me? Thank you!

I must be a champion too, just like Claude.

That's lovely, Rebecca.

And you're my champion too.

-Come on!

-'Goodbye, Dad.'

Now, remember,

just wait for a break in the clouds,

-and all will be fine.

-Thank you, Granny Murray. I'll see you later.

-Bye-bye, my darling. I'll be thinking of you.

-Me too!

Now, you keep a wee eye on Mickey John.

Make sure he goes the right way to work.

# I'm on my way To work today

# Walking my shoes through the city views

# Stepping along and swinging my arms

# Singing my way through the city's charms

# Getting there is just so fine

# I so enjoy my walking time

# I always go the way I know

-# Can you show me the way I go?

-Yay!

-#

OK - which way?

# Do I go left now? Do I go right?

# Which way is wrong now? Which way is right? #

-Right!

-OK - right! To the school!

# I'm on my way To work today

# Looking this way and that-a-way... #

Hello, alley!

Hello, doors!

Hello, steeple!

Hello, walls!

Hello, people!

# La la la la La la la la la la la-la la

# Dum de-dee-dee De de de de de doo

# Do I go up now? Do I go down?

# Which way's a smile now and which way's a frown? #

-Up!

-OK, that way! Up!

# You told me the way to go

# Thank you - you showed me the way I know. #

Thanks for that.

Now, what have I got to do?

That's right - time for a tie.

All snazzy and ready to go.

BELL RINGS

I'll hang Rebecca's medal up here, so everyone can see it

and be inspired by it.

Hopefully we'll have a few people winning medals here too!

Good morning, everyone. That's it, get yourselves settled.

Great. That's everyone. I hope you've remembered

that today is a special day at Roundhouse Primary, because...

it's sports day!

Maybe some of you have been doing some training.

-CHILDREN:

-Yes!

Me too! Now, who can tell me what happens on sports day?

-Yes.

-Running races.

-Yes.

-Jumping races.

-Gymnastics.

I've drawn the playing fields here.

Here's the long jump. Down here is the high jump.

I know that you love running, so here's the racetrack.

First or last, it doesn't matter. It's the taking part that counts.

And as we'll be joined by some younger visitors from the nursery,

we'll have an egg and spoon race, and a sack race.

So, it's going to be an action-packed day!

What I would like you to do now is to make signs for all the events.

Now, the signs must be bold and clear.

You can use as much colour as you like.

We're busy organising sports day.

I wonder how my little champion's getting on?

# I love to skip in Riversea Fingal

# Riversea Fingal by the sea

# I love to skip in Riversea Fingal

# Riversea Fingal, that's for me. #

Granny Murray's floor's the sea, and there's big sharks in the sea!

There are all the islands, and you've to jump round the islands

back to Granny Murray. Don't land on those sharks!

You next, Hope. ..You next. Watch out for sharks!

Oh, no! He'll bite your toes!

Oh, don't fall in the sea!

Rebecca, your daddy would be proud if he could see you training now.

'Are you working hard, Daddy?'

Knock-knock!

-Hello, Louie - how are you?

-I'm fine, thanks. Busy as usual?

-Yes,

-we're making signs for sports day.

-That's why I'm here.

The head teacher asked me to collect things from the council store rooms.

-Right.

-They're outside. What shall I do with them?

-The weather's dicey,

-so bring everything in here till we need it.

-Okey-dokey!

There you go.

-Thanks ever so much for your help.

-No bother, Mickey John.

I'd better get back to the ferryboat. Catch you later!

There's still so much to do before sports day starts.

I'd better get on with some hard work.

# Oh, I whoop with joy when I go to school in the mornin'

# Teaching with my chums and see the children learning

# School day, work away

# I'm learnin' learnin' learnin' when I'm teachin'

# I'm teachin' learnin' teachin' learnin' teachin'

# School day, work away

# Teaching to count and teaching to read

# Learning about birds and plants and seeds

# Playing games and sports outdoors

# Blowing my whistle and keeping the scores

# School day, work away

# I'm learnin' learnin' learnin' when I'm teachin'

# We're learnin' learnin' learnin' when he's teachin'

# School day, work away

# Oh, the secretary's smiling as she does her organising

# The janny fixes The cookie mixes

# And the cleaner keeps us shining

# Oh, I whoop with joy when I go to school in the morning

# Holding the line in the dinner queue

# While the cookie cooks and serves a stew

# Answering the questions where and why

# How does it work and how does it fly?

# School day, work away

# I'm learnin' learnin' learnin' when I'm teachin'

# We're learnin' learnin' learnin' when he's teachin'

# School day, work away

# All the children peep and eye me

# As they sit and try their writin' I take a look, I mark their books

# The good ones get a smiley

# Oh, I whoop with joy when I go to school in the mornin'. #

BELL RINGS Lunch time, everyone! Off you go!

See if you can put in a bit of training in the playground.

Time for a sandwich.

-Hello!

-Bobby! Hi! How are you?

-Sorry to interrupt your lunch.

-It's OK.

-Shall we get started?

-Started?

On our practice...for gymnastics for beginners.

-I thought we said 12 o'clock.

-Of course we did. Sorry, Bobby.

That's all right.

-I would have liked to have done it outside, but it's raining.

-Oh, no!

-This could be a disaster.

-I'm sure it will pass.

Let's get started.

Right. Um... I haven't really done this before.

-It's for beginners, remember.

-That's me!

-Seeing you join in

will encourage the children. Let's do a warm-up.

Out...in.

Out...in.

Out...in. Out...in.

And let's have a stretch and twist.

Oh! So far, so good.

-How are you with headstands?

-Oh, I've never tried one.

Watch.

Wow! That's fantastic!

-Your turn.

-Right.

Oh! Oh!

-I can't get the hang of it.

-We'll try something else.

-Something easier.

Bunny hops.

Two hands on the floor, squat down.

As you put your hands down, jump your feet forward.

Simple enough.

Good try! Have another go.

Aw, well done, Mickey John. That was really good.

Rebecca would be very, very proud of you.

That's the way. And the next one...

Oh, good girl! Now jump!

Got it? Do you feel that?

Come on, Rebecca.

That's the way.

That's it. And jump.

Boing! Boing!

Boing!

Whoo!

Oh, no - wait a minute.

It's starting to rain.

We'll have to go inside.

Och, never mind. We'll have to get ready soon anyway to go and see Dad.

'Are you having fun, Daddy?'

My Rebecca will be here soon.

-Hello, Mickey J!

-Oh, hi, Dr Juno!

Oh, no - is it raining?

Oh, it's just a shower.

-I'm here to do first aid for sports day.

-That's quite a first aid kit.

-Will anyone get hurt?

-Oh, no. Usually at sports day,

first aid is giving someone a cuddle when they fall on their bottom.

-That's a relief.

-Well, I'd better go and set up.

-Good-oh.

-What's all this lot?

-It's the race equipment for later.

Shouldn't they be on the sports field? You're cutting it fine!

Dr Juno's right. I AM cutting it fine.

I've been working really hard organising sports day,

but I still haven't set everything up! Where did the time go?!

'At eight o'clock, I took Rebecca to Granny Murray's house.

'The children were getting into training for sports day,

'but the weather wasn't good, so they did the training indoors.

'The rain was holding off as I set off to work.

'At nine o'clock, the children and I planned all the races for sports day,

'and the children made some lovely signs for the races.

'At 11 o'clock, Louie arrived. She'd brought lots of equipment

'for the sports day.

'At 12 o'clock, Bobby came to practise for our gymnastics display.

'We practised indoors because of the rain.

'At one o'clock, Dr Juno came to set up her first aid post.

'She was surprised to see the sports equipment was still in the classroom.

'I hadn't got it organised because of the rain.'

Now, remember -

-just wait for a break in the clouds, and all will be fine.

Wait a minute!

It's stopped raining! There's a break in the clouds!

At last, it's a race against time!

# I've got to do it I've got to do it

# I've got to beat the clock before the chime

# I've got to sort it I've got to sort it

# I've got to do the job on time

# Like a busy bee I'm going to beat that bong

# I'm going to finish this job before I finish this so-o-o-ong

# Do we think he's gonna do it? Do the job that needs to be done

# Will he know how to fix it?

# Will he finish what he has begun?

# He will get there in the end

# Because he knows what he should do and works it through

-# I'm going to do it

-He's going to do it

# I'm going to beat the clock before the chime

-# I'm going to sort it

-He's going to sort it

# I'm going to do the job on time

# Like a busy bee I'm going to beat that bong

# I'm going to finish this job before I finish this so-o-o-ong. #

Let the sports begin!

CHEERING

Come on down here, kids.

Go!

Legs up, nice and strong.

Oh! I hope Rebecca's watching me.

Ready, steady...

go!

Well done! ..Oh, put it back on!

Doing well! Yay!

Well done, Rebecca! Clever girl! We'd better get home

-before Dad gets there before us!

-'I love you, Daddy.'

Mickey John, come away through!

-Look who's here, Rebecca.

-Hello, beautiful girl!

How are you, my friend?

-Have you had a lovely time?

-Oh, you bet we have, eh?

Say thank you to Granny Murray.

-Come here, my darling.

-And thanks from me too, Granny Murray.

Your saying "wait for a break in the clouds" saved the day.

Well, I never did!

Come on now, you'd better be off, eh?

-Looking forward to next time.

-Me too!

Come on, Rebecca. Let's chat about our time away.

And I suppose you'll want me to tell you

all about my time too.

# Well, there was...

# Playing, running creeping, jumping

# Chasing, painting laughing, baking

# Moving, dressing singing, swinging

# Rocking, 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 champion athlete,

'and the children and I decided to get into training for sports day.

'The weather was a bit damp, so we trained indoors first.

'We did some jumping training and later some bouncing training.

'Mickey John waited for a break in the clouds, and the sun came out,

'and it was brilliant. The children did the egg and spoon race

'and the sack race.

'Och, it was great fun!'

Did you enjoy yourself?

Me too!

Bye-bye, honey pie!

# I love to skip in Riversea Fingal

# Riversea Fingal by the sea

# I love to skip in Riversea Fingal

# Riversea Fingal, that's for me

# Come on and get on down to the city

-# Where the ferryboat sails are blue

-Sails are blue

# Time to call on Granny Murray

# She'd love to say goodbye to you! #

Me too!
