0:02:08 > 0:02:10Who likes going to the fairground?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Me!- Me too.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Well, we've got Hope and we've got Rachel.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Who's coming home to Granny Murray?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Oh, it's Rebecca with Mickey John.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Hello there!
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Mickey John! Hello!

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Come away through, my honey pie.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Ah, we're having fairground fun today.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52But now you're here, we'll do something new.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Why don't you all dress Claude up as a clown!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Will they have clowns at the fairground?- Oh, yes.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02At the Riverseafingal fairground there was a clown
0:03:02 > 0:03:04who made shapes from balloons.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Oh, what a giggle!- Yes!
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Come on, let's giggle over here, darling.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I've got a fairground joke for you.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- What do you call a merry-go-round that won't stop?- Don't know.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- What do you call a merry-go-round that won't stop?- A merry-go-round
0:03:23 > 0:03:25and round and round...
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Mickey John, that was a good one. - Thanks.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31I've been making up jokes for Rudi. He pesters me for new ones.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Oh, yes. Rudi makes me laugh.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- Are you going to the fair later? - Oh, yes. Going to see some rides.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40It's all right for some. I'll be busy teaching.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43There aren't enough hours in a teacher's day.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45So many things I want to show the children,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I don't know where to start and finish.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Start with the fairground, there's so many things there -
0:03:52 > 0:03:55colours, numbers, movement and shapes!
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- All in the one place. - I hadn't thought about that.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Oh, will you look at Claude. He's a comical clown.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- What a funny looking chap you are. - Just like the clown
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- at the fairground.- There you are. - Hey! Look at this.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15- My very own fairground picture. Thanks, Rebecca.- Bye!
0:04:17 > 0:04:20A fairground I can carry around with me.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Come on, then.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Remember, there's all sorts of things
0:04:27 > 0:04:29you can learn from the fairground.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34- Thanks, Granny Murray. See you later.- Be thinking of you.- Me too!
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Now, you keep an eye on Mickey John.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Make sure he goes the right way to work.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Oh, I don't have much time. How can I speed across the river to work?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49HOOTER BLOWS
0:04:49 > 0:04:51That's right. Thanks!
0:04:51 > 0:04:53# I'm in, in, in, in, in a hurry

0:05:22 > 0:05:25# I nee, nee, nee, need to speed to work
0:05:26 > 0:05:29# I'm in, in, in, in, in a hurry! #
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Hurry, hurry, hurry!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37And hurry, hurry, hurry to put my tie on.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46All snazzy and ready to go.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Right, I'd better get these worksheets sorted.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Knock, knock.- Oh! Hi, Rudi.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Er, what?- Knock, knock.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Who's there?- Boo.- Boo who?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03There's no need to cry! It's only a joke.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Have you got any jokes for me? - I might do.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09But I can't tell them to you just now.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12We have to be serious. The children will be here soon.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- There's so much to get through. - There's always time for laugher.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18We'll have to save the jokes.
0:06:18 > 0:06:219 o'clock and here come the children.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Good morning, everyone. That's it. Get yourselves settled.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Morning.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Rudi, I'm very busy. Is there anything you wanted?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- I wanted to show you these. - Lolly sticks?!
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- A customer gave me these.- Why would someone give you lolly sticks?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- Cos each stick has got a joke on it. - Brilliant!
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- I thought you could tell me what the jokes are.- By all means.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Bring these round later and we'll have a joke party.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Good idea. I'll see you later.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52OK. Right, then.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Who's bright-eyed and ready for the day?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- ALL:- Me!- Brilliant. Right.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Look at the questions on your worksheets.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03They're about counting coconuts. I want you to answer them.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I wonder what Rebecca's up to.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17# I love to skip in Riverseafingal
0:07:17 > 0:07:20# Riverseafingal by the sea
0:07:20 > 0:07:22# I love to skip in Riverseafingal
0:07:22 > 0:07:26# Riverseafingal that's for me. #
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Oh, good girl, Rebecca!
0:07:31 > 0:07:35What about a roundabout? Will we give someone a shot?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38# La la la la la la la... #
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Whee! Do you want to do it?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Well done! We'll have great fun at the fair today, too.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53It's a shame Dad will not be able to go. But we'll tell him all about it.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00What are you doing now, Daddy?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Right, let's see how you're getting on.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Oh, dear! That's a big yawn, Emma.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Hmm, you're all looking a bit floppy.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Oh, Bobby! Come here.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Hiya. Is everything OK?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20There's so much I want to teach the class
0:08:20 > 0:08:23but we have to be zinging and alert.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I don't think there's enough room to do any gymnastics.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31- How about movements we can do sitting down?- Oh, I like that idea!
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Ah, Bobby's doing some exerciseswith us
0:08:35 > 0:08:39so if put your pencils down and look over here.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- What about doing some fairground movements?- Oh! OK.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45I want everyone to imagine that you're in a fairground.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49The first thing we're going to do is get in a dodgem. Get comfy...
0:08:49 > 0:08:52put your seatbelt on and put your hands on the wheel.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Are you ready to go?- Yeah.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- SHE IMITATES CAR ENGINE - Gently does it to start off with.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01But someone's coming straight for you.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03You'll have to turn the wheel. That's it.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Put your brakes on.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10- Uh-oh! We've stopped.- Good. We've got time to go on another ride -
0:09:10 > 0:09:12the merry-go-round.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Stretch your fingers out. Start off going round in little circles.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21Merry-go-rounds go round and round. They get bigger and bigger
0:09:21 > 0:09:26and some merry-go-rounds go really fast, so you go even faster! Whoo!
0:09:26 > 0:09:30OK, time to slow down. And...
0:09:30 > 0:09:31stop!
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Thanks, for livening us up, that was fun.- Bye bye!

0:11:36 > 0:11:39I've got something better than a sloppy kiss to show you.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41A collection of lolly sticks.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- I bet there are some great jokes on these.- Let's see.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48"Where does a king keep his armies?"
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I don't know. Where does a king keep his armies?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53"Up his sleevies!"
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Get it?- Up his sleevies!
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- I love a good joke.- Oh, me too.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07- We'll be learning all about shapes. - All right.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I'll leave you to it. But I'll see you later for more jokes.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I'll be seeing you. Ha ha ha!
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Look at all these sticky shapes.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Triangles.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Squares.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24And circles.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27HE HUMS A FAIRGROUND SONG
0:12:28 > 0:12:31I wonder if Rebecca's at the fairground yet.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Hello my darling!
0:13:01 > 0:13:04SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Hope you had a tasty lunch.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09That's it, get yourselves settled and sorted. Now,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11we'll be thinking about shapes,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15so I've put lots of sticky shapes on your tables.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I want you to do sort them out for me and then stick them in your books.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19KNOCK ON DOOR
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Psst!- Hi, Rudi. What is it?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Have you got time for one more joke?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Oh, OK then. Just one.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- "What kind of button can't be unbuttoned?"- Oh...
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I don't know. What kind of button can't be unbuttoned?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37"A belly button!"
0:13:37 > 0:13:39THEY GIGGLE
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- OK, Rudi. I'd better get off.- OK. Hey, what are your class up to?
0:13:43 > 0:13:44They seem quiet as mice.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47We're doing work on shapes at the moment, and then...
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Oh, dear. I've been so busy telling jokes,
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I haven't prepared anything for later.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Where did the time go?
0:13:55 > 0:13:59At eight o'clock I went to Granny Murray's to drop off Rebecca.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01The children were painting fairground pictures and dressed Claude up
0:14:01 > 0:14:04as a clown
0:14:04 > 0:14:07At nine o'clock I got to work. Rudi dropped by to tell me some jokes
0:14:07 > 0:14:11and show me his his lolly sticks as the children arrived for class.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15At ten o'clock, I noticed that my class looked floppy.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20so I asked Bobby could liven us up with some exercises.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25At 12 o'clock the children went to lunch and I told Rudi some jokes.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28At one o'clock the children came back from lunch
0:14:28 > 0:14:32and as they did their shapes activity I told Rudi even more jokes.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Then I realised I'd been so busy telling jokes,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I hadn't planned anything to do with the class.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Remember, there's all sorts of things you can learn
0:14:41 > 0:14:43from the fairground.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46That's right. There's lots you can learn from the fairground.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49You can learn about colours, movement and numbers and shapes.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Rudi, I need the lolly sticks.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56But it's no joke. It's a race against time.
