0:00:02 > 0:00:07# Come on and get down to the city where the trains all clatter through
0:00:07 > 0:00:12# Hey, look at that driver driving I wanna ride that train of blue
0:00:12 > 0:00:17# Looking way up high to the windows Take a peek at that inside view
0:00:17 > 0:00:22# All those people busy working I wanna see what they all do
0:00:22 > 0:00:27# Let's weave round the market Do you hear that hullabaloo?
0:00:27 > 0:00:32# Everybody's busy selling Come on, buy me something new
0:00:32 > 0:00:36# Look through the arches under the station
0:00:36 > 0:00:40# Down where the pigeons perch and coo
0:00:40 > 0:00:44# I take a taxi ride to the river I wanna drive down the avenue
0:00:44 > 0:00:50# Hey, look at those buses gleaming They look so clean and spanking-new
0:00:50 > 0:00:55# All lined up to drive around the city, ting that bell, toodle-oo
0:00:55 > 0:01:01# I'm gonna ride round to the school where the children hurry through
0:01:01 > 0:01:06# Sit down, the teacher's teaching I'd love to learn a thing or two
0:01:06 > 0:01:11# I love to skip in Riverseafingal Riverseafingal by the sea... #
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Seven o'clock!
0:01:13 > 0:01:16# Riverseafingal, that's for me
0:01:16 > 0:01:21# Come on, get on down to the city where the ferryboat sails through
0:01:21 > 0:01:24# Time to call on Granny Murray
0:01:24 > 0:01:29# She'd love to say hello to you-ou-ou... #
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Me too!
0:01:33 > 0:01:38Hello, honey pie! Come away in and see who's at home today.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44# Granny Murray's house has two at home to play, it's home to... #
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Who's here today?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49We've got Rachel and we've got Sean.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53But don't just sit there, piggles. Come on, let's get busy!
0:01:53 > 0:01:58We'll play the underground train game. The train will stop at...
0:01:58 > 0:02:02The castle! Choo-choo!
0:02:02 > 0:02:05The bridge. Choo-choo!
0:02:05 > 0:02:09We've got Sean and we've got Rachel,
0:02:09 > 0:02:13but someone's missing from home today.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Not any more. Who's coming home to Granny Murray?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Yes, it's Rebecca with Mickey John.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Hello there.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Hello, Mickey John.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33What's all this running around?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37We've been playing a sort of underground train game.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41These are all the stops on the Riverseafingal underground.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46I love maps. I sometimes snuggle up in bed with a nice map.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Well, now Rebecca's here, we'll do something new.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54We're going on an underground train later,
0:02:54 > 0:02:58so let's dress Claude up as an underground train driver.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04- We can squeeze on down and take a seat. Excuse me!- Mind your back!
0:03:06 > 0:03:11- So, you like maps? - Oh, absolutely. All sorts of maps.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Last week, I found an old map of Riverseafingal.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20- Did the city look different?- Yes, it showed how it looked long ago.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25- Before my school was even built. - Fancy that!
0:03:25 > 0:03:29I want to take the children to see something I remember from long ago.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32It's called the Camera Obscura.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34You can see the whole city!
0:03:34 > 0:03:40I saw it when I was a little girl and I thought it was fascinating.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44I'm not sure how to explain how it works to the children.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47It's fairly simple really.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51It's to do with the way the mirrors shine on to the convex lens.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Stop! I don't want to know that.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58We'll let the children see for themselves.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03- Your underground driver is ready to take you there.- Good old Claude.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Very smart.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Mind the doors! Well, I'd better be going.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- Daddy...- It's an underground map of Riverseafingal.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Thanks, Rebecca.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- Have fun at the Camera Obscura. Bye then.- Come on.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Now, remember, let them see for themselves.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34- Thank you, Granny Murray. Bye.- Bye. We'll be thinking of you.- Me too.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41Keep a wee eye on Mickey John, so he goes the right way to work.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49# I'm on my way to work today
0:04:49 > 0:04:52# Walking my shoes through the city views
0:04:52 > 0:04:57# I'm stepping along and swinging my arms
0:04:57 > 0:05:01# Singing my way through the city's charms
0:05:01 > 0:05:06# Getting there is just so fine
0:05:06 > 0:05:10# I so enjoy my walking time
0:05:10 > 0:05:14# I always go the way I know
0:05:14 > 0:05:17# Can you show me the way I go...? #
0:05:17 > 0:05:20OK. Which way?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24# Do I go left now? Do I go right?
0:05:24 > 0:05:29- # Which way is wrong now? Which way is right?- Right! #
0:05:29 > 0:05:32OK, right to the school.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36# I'm on my way to work today
0:05:36 > 0:05:39# Looking this way and that-a-way... #
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Hello, alley. Hello, doors.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Hello, steeple. Hello, walls.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Hello, people!
0:05:52 > 0:05:57# He's on his way to work today
0:05:57 > 0:06:01# Looking this way and that-a-way Hey!
0:06:01 > 0:06:05# Do I go up now? Do I go down?
0:06:05 > 0:06:09# Which way's a smile now? Which way's a frown...? #
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Up!- OK, that way - up.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15# You told me the way to go
0:06:15 > 0:06:18# Thank you, you showed me the way I know... #
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Thanks for that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28Now, what have I got to do? That's right, time for a tie.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35All dressed and ready to go.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39I'm really looking forward to today's lesson.
0:06:39 > 0:06:45- All right, Mickey John?- Hi, Bobby. - Have you got a matt I can borrow?
0:06:45 > 0:06:50I've got loads of them. That's what I'm teaching a lesson about today.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52See? Loads of different maps.
0:06:52 > 0:06:58Look, we've got road maps, a map of countries, a map of the world.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02No, I didn't ask for a map.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07I asked for a matt for a gymnastics display I'm teaching later on.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12Sorry, Bobby. I've got maps on the brain today. Hang on.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16I've got just the thing in my cupboard.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23- Will this do?- Perfect. Thanks. I'll bring it back later.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28I wonder if you're on your way to the Camera Obscura yet, Becks?
0:07:28 > 0:07:33# I love to skip in Riverseafingal Riverseafingal by the sea
0:07:33 > 0:07:40# I love to skip in Riverseafingal Riverseafingal, that's for me... #
0:07:47 > 0:07:51It's so exciting. That's it now, stand back.
0:07:52 > 0:07:58Good girl. Rebecca, come and sit here, darling, with Granny Murray.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Chugga-ga-chug, chugga-ga-chug, whoo-whoo!
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Chugga-ga-chug, chugga-ga-chug, chugga-ga-chug, whoo-whoo!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20BELL RINGS 'What are you doing now, Daddy?'
0:08:20 > 0:08:24The school bell! I better clear these maps away.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I don't want to spoil the surprise.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Mohammad?- Here.- Leanne?- Here.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Monica?- Here.- And Efra?- Here.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Good morning, everyone.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41ALL: Good morning, Mickey John.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46I've got something exciting to show you today.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Something really exciting. Something absolutely incredible.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- But I've hidden it away for now. - ALL: Aw!
0:08:54 > 0:08:57First we have to do some hard work.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02# Oh, I whoop with joy when I go to school in the morning
0:09:02 > 0:09:06# Teaching with my chums and seeing the children learning
0:09:06 > 0:09:09# School day, work away
0:09:09 > 0:09:13# I'm learning, learning, learning when I'm teaching
0:09:13 > 0:09:17# I'm teaching, learning, teaching, learning, teaching
0:09:17 > 0:09:20# School day, work away
0:09:20 > 0:09:25# Teaching to count and to read Learn about birds, plants and seeds
0:09:25 > 0:09:28# Playing games outdoors, keeping the scores
0:09:28 > 0:09:31# School day, work away
0:09:31 > 0:09:34# I'm learning, learning when I'm teaching
0:09:34 > 0:09:37# We're learning, learning when he's teaching
0:09:37 > 0:09:41# School day, work away
0:09:41 > 0:09:45# Oh, the secretary's filing as she does her organising
0:09:45 > 0:09:49# The jannie fixes, the cookie mixes, the cleaner keeps us shining
0:09:49 > 0:09:53# I whoop with joy when I go to school in the morning
0:09:53 > 0:09:56# I join the dinner queue, the cookie serves the stew
0:09:56 > 0:10:00# Answering where and why, how does it work and how does it fly?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03# School day, work away
0:10:03 > 0:10:06# I'm learning, learning when I'm teaching
0:10:06 > 0:10:11# We're learning, learning when he's teaching
0:10:11 > 0:10:14# School day, work away
0:10:14 > 0:10:17# The children keep an eye on me as they try their writing
0:10:17 > 0:10:23# I take a look, I mark their books, the good ones get a smiley
0:10:23 > 0:10:27# I whoop with joy when I go to school in the morning... #
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Well done, everyone. You've all worked really hard.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35I'll give you that special treat I told you about earlier.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- I'm gonna tell you all about... - MAKES TRUMPET SOUND
0:10:39 > 0:10:44Maps! Now, maps can tell you loads of things.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47And this is a brilliant map.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53This is a map of Fingal Hill. You can see the city from there.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58There's the path that goes all the way down the mountain.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02These contour lines show the shape of the hill.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Isn't that fascinating...? You have no idea what I'm talking about?
0:11:07 > 0:11:12Not to worry. I'll be talking more about maps. Isn't that exciting...?
0:11:12 > 0:11:17- BELL RINGS - Lunchtime. Off you go!
0:11:18 > 0:11:22That's funny. My class don't seem very interested in my map.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27I hope Rebecca's more enthusiastic about the Camera Obscura.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41Oh, here we are at the Camera Obscura. It's so exciting!
0:11:41 > 0:11:43We're in for a real treat.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48You can see all of Riverseafingal -
0:11:48 > 0:11:51the people, the cars.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54So alive and busy!
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- Look, dumplings, do you like the Camera Obscura?- Yes.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- It's fabulous, isn't it?- Yes.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06- Oh, Rebecca, your dad would love it here, wouldn't he?- Yeah.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09'I'm thinking of you, Daddy.'
0:12:15 > 0:12:20- Me again. I've brought back your "map".- Eh? Oh, the matt! Yes.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25- Sorry about the mix-up earlier. How did your gym class go?- Brilliantly.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30The children loved it when I did a back flip. They were very interested.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35- I wish my class were interested in my lesson.- What was it about?- Maps.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39They're fascinating. Take this map of Fingal Hill.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- It's incredible. You can see the path marked.- Right.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- What are all those squiggly lines? - Contour lines.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52When they're close together, that means the hill is very steep,
0:12:52 > 0:12:57but when they're further apart, it means the hill is not so steep.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00That is incredibly interesting.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Well, for you maybe, but I don't really see it.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Anyway, thanks for the matt. I'll catch you later.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14What's wrong with everyone? I love maps, but nobody else seems to.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19Why is no-one else as excited as me? Where did the time go?
0:13:19 > 0:13:23At seven, I dropped Rebecca off at Granny Murray's house.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27They were playing the underground game,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30so the children dressed Claude as a train driver.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35Granny Murray was taking them to the Camera Obscura.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I began to explain how it works.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40At eight o'clock, I got to work.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Bobby popped in and I thought she wanted a map.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49I heard wrong. She wanted a matt for her gym class demonstration.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53At nine, my class came in and I told them I had a treat for them.
0:13:53 > 0:13:5811 o'clock was treat time. I showed them my map of Fingal Hill
0:13:58 > 0:14:03with its amazing contour lines, but the class just looked bored.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08At 12, Bobby wasn't interested in the map either.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13How can I make my map more interesting for my class?
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Now, remember, let them see for themselves.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Hmm. Let them see for themselves.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24The children can't get excited about the map
0:14:24 > 0:14:28because they don't know what it's a picture of.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33I'll show them it's a picture of a real hill. It's a race against time.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38# I've got to do it, I've got to beat the clock before the chime
0:14:38 > 0:14:43# I've got to sort it, I've got to do the job on time
0:14:43 > 0:14:49# I'll beat that bong, I'll finish this job before I finish this song
0:14:49 > 0:14:53# Do we think he's gonna do it, do the job that needs to be done?
0:14:53 > 0:14:58# Will he know how to fix it? Will he finish what he has begun?
0:14:58 > 0:15:03# He knows what he should do and he'll work it through
0:15:03 > 0:15:08- # I'm gonna do it!- Do it!- I'm gonna beat the clock before the chime
0:15:08 > 0:15:13- # I'm gonna sort it!- Sort it! - I'm gonna do the job on time
0:15:13 > 0:15:19# I'll beat that bong, I'll finish the job before I finish this song! #
0:15:19 > 0:15:24Right, class, I hope you're ready to hear a lot more about maps.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28I've got a brilliant way to make it more interesting.
0:15:28 > 0:15:34So, I've made a model of how Fingal Hill looks in real life.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39The hill is very steep here but not so steep here. Look at these lines.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43When the lines are close together, the hill is very steep,
0:15:43 > 0:15:48- but when they're further apart, it's not so steep. Exciting?- Yes!
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Oh, look! Here's a little railway train.
0:15:53 > 0:15:59Going through the mountain... It'll go through and round the other side.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Ah! I wonder what you're up to, Rebecca?
0:16:09 > 0:16:14You two, hold hands. That's us. Let's keep ourselves safe.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18OK... Right, stop.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Wait there.
0:16:21 > 0:16:27Rebecca... Good girl. And up this way, holding Granny Murray's hands.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29'I miss you, Daddy.'
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Mickey John, come away through.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44- Look who's here, Rebecca.- Hello, beautiful girl. Hey! How are you?
0:16:44 > 0:16:50- Have you had a lovely time?- You bet!- Say thank you to Granny Murray.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- Come here, my darling.- And thanks from me too, Granny Murray.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59- Your saying "let them see for themselves" saved the day.- Never?
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Come on now. You'd better be off.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- Looking forward to next time! - Me too!
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Let's chat about our time away.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14I suppose you'll want ME to tell YOU all about my time too!
0:17:14 > 0:17:20# There was hugging, squishing, walking, dancing, dusting, talking
0:17:20 > 0:17:22# Cooking, drying, cleaning, laughing, joking
0:17:22 > 0:17:25# Losing things and rushing round
0:17:25 > 0:17:28# Dressing up and sitting down! #
0:17:29 > 0:17:33But what was really special about today?
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Well, Claude was dressed as an underground train driver
0:17:37 > 0:17:41because we were going on an underground train later.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46Mickey John dropped off Rebecca and told me how he loved maps.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50When I told him we were going to the Camera Obscura,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53he tried to explain how they work.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I didn't understand a word he said.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00The underground train was very exciting and very noisy.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03The Camera Obscura looked amazing.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08We saw a bird's-eye view of the city reflected on to a table.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12It looked magic. When Mickey John came to pick up Rebecca,
0:18:12 > 0:18:17he said he was glad he remembered to let his class see for themselves.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20His map lesson was more interesting,
0:18:20 > 0:18:25so today, everyone could see for themselves.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30I hope you enjoyed yourself. Me too. Bye-bye, honey pie!
0:18:36 > 0:18:41# I love to skip in Riverseafingal Riverseafingal by the sea
0:18:41 > 0:18:46# I love to skip in Riverseafingal Riverseafingal, that's for me
0:18:46 > 0:18:51# Come on and get down to the city where the ferryboat sails through
0:18:51 > 0:18:53# Time to call on Granny Murray
0:18:53 > 0:18:58# She'd love to say goodbye to you-ou-ou... #
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Me too!
