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 round 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 > 0:00:56- # Let me ting that bell - Ding, ding!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58# Going to ride on round to the school stop
0:00:58 > 0:01:00# Where the children hurry through
0:01:00 > 0:01:03# Sit down, the teacher's teaching
0:01:03 > 0:01:07# I'd love to learn a thing or two...
0:01:07 > 0:01:09# I love to skip in Riversea Fingal
0:01:09 > 0:01:11# Riversea Fingal, 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 at noon - Sails at noon
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... #
0:01:33 > 0:01:38Hello, honeypie! Come away in and see who's at home today.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42# Granny Murray's house has two at home to play
0:01:42 > 0:01:44# Granny Murray's house is home to... #
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Who's here today?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Well, we've got Rachel and Sean.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Don't just sit there, my wee cherubs. Let's get busy!
0:01:54 > 0:01:58We've got...a moon...
0:01:58 > 0:02:02we've got a cow. Will we put on a wee show?
0:02:03 > 0:02:08ALL: # Hey, diddle diddle The cat found the fiddle
0:02:08 > 0:02:12# The cow jumped over the moon
0:02:12 > 0:02:17# The little dog laughed to see such fun
0:02:17 > 0:02:22# And the dish ran away with the spoon. #
0:02:22 > 0:02:27That was brilliant. Well done, you two!
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Well, we've got our Rachel and we've got Sean.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35But someone's missing from home today.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Oh, not any more!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Who's coming home to Granny Murray?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Oh, it's Rebecca with Mickey John.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Hello, there.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Hello, Mickey John.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Wow! What's been going on here?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59We've been acting out and singing a nursery rhyme.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04Oh, I love rhymes and poetry too. The cat sat on the mat.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07The cat! That's given me a good idea.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Let's dress Claude up as a cat!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Yeah!
0:03:12 > 0:03:16And WE can catwalk to the chairs. Rr-rr!
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Oh, I love cuddling up on my favourite armchair,
0:03:26 > 0:03:28just like a cat on a sunbeam.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32CLEARS HIS THROAT The cat sat on the mat.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37Oh, you're in a very poetic mood today, Mickey John.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41I'm always in the mood for fine rhyming and poetic licence.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- Oh, for a muse of fire! - Oh, I love poetry too.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I always think performing poetry really brings it to life.
0:03:50 > 0:03:56Just like the children did with Hey Diddle Diddle. Look at Claude!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Oh!- Oh, you look perfect, Claude.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Well done, my darlings.- Daddy.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Oh, what's this?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Oh, thank you, sweetheart.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Aa-ah...
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- I had you going there.- Oh, you!
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- I'd better be going.- Bye-bye.
0:04:21 > 0:04:27Now, remember - performing poetry really brings it to life.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32- Thank you, Granny Murray.- Bye-bye. We'll be thinking of you.- Me too!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Will you keep a wee eye on Mickey John?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Make sure he goes the right way to work.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47# I'm on my way to work today
0:04:47 > 0:04:51# Walking my shoes through the city views
0:04:51 > 0:04:56# Stepping along and swinging my arms
0:04:56 > 0:05:00# Singing my way through the city's charms
0:05:00 > 0:05:04# Getting there is just so fine
0:05:04 > 0:05:08# I so enjoy my walking time
0:05:08 > 0:05:12# I always go the way I know
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- # Can you show me the way I go? - Hey!- #
0:05:16 > 0:05:18OK - which way?
0:05:18 > 0:05:22# Do I go left now? Do I go right?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26# Which way is wrong now? Which way is right? #
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Right!- OK - right! To the school!
0:05:30 > 0:05:34# I'm on my way To work today
0:05:34 > 0:05:38# Looking this way and that-a-way... #

0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Up!- OK, that way! Up!
0:06:10 > 0:06:14# You told me the way to go
0:06:14 > 0:06:18# Thank you - you showed me the way I know. #
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Here I am.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Now what? ..Thanks. I need to put my tie on.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36All dressed and ready to go.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Hello!- Ah, Raymond. Are you well?
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Fine, thanks.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49- Do you have the publicity photos you took of Tina and I?- Oh, yes.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51They're in here.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Hope you like them.- Oh, thanks.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Oh, these are great.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01They'll really impress Mr Grant.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06- The head teacher?- Yes, we thought we'd show him our publicity photos
0:07:06 > 0:07:10and he might ask us to do some shows for the children.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13You know - The Importance Of Being A Handbag
0:07:13 > 0:07:18- or Tina's one-woman show, Girl On A Bike.- I saw that! Brilliant.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21And I love poetry. Oh, for a muse of fire!
0:07:21 > 0:07:26I could lend you a copy of my Much Loved Rhymes and Poems.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Lovely!- I'll drop it in. Cheers again.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36The cat sat on the mat.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40I wonder how my best little pet is getting on.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46# I love to skip in Riversea Fingal

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Your cat's lovely.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Can you hear him purring, girls?
0:08:05 > 0:08:06- Yes.- Yes.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45He said you were interested.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I'll just pop it down there.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Bye.- Bye, Tina.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Bye.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Right. Ah, I've got a real treat for you later on.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00But first it's time to get down to some hard work.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04# Oh, I whoop with joy when I go to school in the mornin'
0:09:04 > 0:09:09# Teaching with my chums and see the children learning

0:09:27 > 0:09:29# Playing games and sports outdoors
0:09:29 > 0:09:31# Blowing my whistle and keeping the scores
0:09:31 > 0:09:33# School day, work away
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I'm learning, learning when I'm teaching

0:09:51 > 0:09:55# I whoop with joy when I go to school in the morning
0:09:55 > 0:09:58# All in a line in the dinner queue While the cookie cooks and serves us too

0:10:03 > 0:10:05# School day, work away

0:10:23 > 0:10:25# The good ones get a smilie
0:10:25 > 0:10:30# Oh, I whoop with joy When I go to school in the morning. #
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Oh, for a muse of fire!
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- You'll never believe it.- We just had a meeting...- ..with the headmaster.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- Edgar.- Ah, Mr Grant.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42He said that if the teachers want us to perform,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44he'd be only too delighted.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Those were Edgar's actual words - "only too delighted".
0:10:49 > 0:10:54Oh, good for you. Of course, I'd love you to perform for my class,
0:10:54 > 0:10:59but I'm giving a performance of my own - "Oh, for a muse of fire!"
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Bye, Mickey John. - Don't forget to call us.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Bye.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07THEY LAUGH
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I wonder how my little girl's getting on.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Oh, that's a lovely owl. Do you see that one?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- Yeah.- Oh!
0:11:22 > 0:11:27What an elegant owl. How charmingly sweet you sing!
0:11:27 > 0:11:30'I'm thinking of you, Daddy.'
0:11:37 > 0:11:42Right, everyone, you've all worked really hard this morning.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Now it's time for your special treat.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49I'm going to read you a wonderful poem from this amazing book.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52A-hem!
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Oh, for a muse of fire
0:11:55 > 0:11:58That would ascend the brightest heaven of invention
0:11:58 > 0:12:01A kingdom for a stage Princes to act
0:12:01 > 0:12:03And monarchs to behold the swelling scene
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Then should the warlike Harry like himself...
0:12:07 > 0:12:08What?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Oh! What's all this?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15I've taught the class all morning and they've been perky and bright.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20Now, when I read them wonderful poetry, they've fallen asleep.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21How did this happen?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Where did the time go?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27At seven o'clock, I took Rebecca to Granny Murray's.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31The children had fun acting out a nursery rhyme - Hey Diddle Diddle.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35I told Granny Murray how much I loved rhymes and poetry.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38At eight o'clock, I arrived at work.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Raymond stopped by to collect some photos I'd taken of him and Tina.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I told him how much I loved poetry.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48He promised to lend me a book of poems. At nine o'clock,
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Tina dropped in with Raymond's book.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55I thought it would be a treat for the children to hear poetry.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58At 12 o'clock, Raymond and Tina came to the classroom
0:12:58 > 0:13:00after meeting the head teacher.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02They were excited, as he told them
0:13:02 > 0:13:07they could visit the school with the show if the teacher wanted them.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12At one o'clock, my class sat down and I read one of my favourite poems.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14But the children nodded off to sleep.
0:13:15 > 0:13:21Now, remember, performing poetry really brings it to life.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Performing poetry really brings it to life.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Of course!
0:13:26 > 0:13:30And two people who can really bring poetry to life and perform it
0:13:30 > 0:13:35are Tina and Raymond. I'll call them up. It's a race against time.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38# I gotta do it, I gotta do it
0:13:38 > 0:13:41# I gotta beat the clock before the chime
0:13:41 > 0:13:43# I gotta sort it, I gotta sort it
0:13:43 > 0:13:46# I gotta do the job on time
0:13:46 > 0:13:48# Like a busy bee I'm gonna beat that bong
0:13:48 > 0:13:51# I'm gonna finish this job Before I finish this song
0:13:51 > 0:13:53# Do we think he's gonna do it?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56# Do the job that needs to be done?
0:13:56 > 0:14:01# Will he know how to fix it? Will he finish what he has begun?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03# He will get there in the end
0:14:03 > 0:14:06# Because he knows what he should do
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- # I'm gonna do it - He's gonna do it
0:14:08 > 0:14:11# I'm gonna beat the clock before the chime
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- # I'm gonna sort it - He's gonna sort it
0:14:13 > 0:14:18- # I'm gonna do the job on time - Tick tock, tick tock
0:14:18 > 0:14:21# I'm gonna finish this job Before I finish this song. #
0:14:21 > 0:14:23DONG!
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- The owl- and the pussycat
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Went to sea in a beautiful pea-green boat
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- They took some honey - and plenty of money
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Wrapped up in a £5 note.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36The owl looked up to the stars above
0:14:36 > 0:14:38And sang to a small guitar
0:14:38 > 0:14:41O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love
0:14:41 > 0:14:43What a beautiful Pussy you are
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- Pussy said to the owl - You elegant fowl!
0:14:47 > 0:14:49How charmingly sweet you sing!
0:14:49 > 0:14:51O let us be married! Too long we have tarried
0:14:51 > 0:14:54But what shall we do for a ring?
0:14:55 > 0:15:00Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Your ring?- Said the Piggy,- I will
0:15:02 > 0:15:05So they took it away and were married next day
0:15:05 > 0:15:10By the Turkey who lives on the hill
0:15:10 > 0:15:15They dined on mince and slices of quince
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Which they ate with a runcible spoon
0:15:17 > 0:15:20And hand in hand by the edge of the sand
0:15:20 > 0:15:24They danced by the light of the moon The moon
0:15:24 > 0:15:28They danced by the light of the moon.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I wonder how my little kitten's getting on.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36I hope she's having as much fun as I am.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- Hey diddle diddle The- cat- and the- fiddle
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- The- cow- jumped over- the moon.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Good girl!
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- The little dog- laughed
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- To see- such fun
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- And the- fish ran away with the spoon.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Good girl!
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Your daddy will be coming for you soon
0:16:04 > 0:16:06and you'll run away home, won't you?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09'I miss my daddy.'
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Mickey John, come away through.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Look who's here, Rebecca. - Hello, beautiful girl!
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Hey! How are you, my friend? Have you had a lovely time?
0:16:28 > 0:16:29You bet we have!
