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 that 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- 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... #
0:01:30 > 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 > 0:01:41# 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 > 0:01:47Who's here today? Well,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49we've got Molly and Hope.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Don't just sit there, come on, let's get busy.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Is that the things we collected in the park?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01That's exactly what it is.
0:02:01 > 0:02:08Remember we went on a nature walk and we collected some things,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I didn't know what to put in my scrap book.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Would you like to help me stick them in?
0:02:14 > 0:02:19What do you think? You set it out the way you think you'd like to.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Oh, beautiful!
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Pine cones...
0:02:24 > 0:02:26they remind me of Christmas.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29We've got Molly and we've got Hope
0:02:29 > 0:02:32but someone's missing from home today.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Oh, not any more.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Who's coming home to Granny Murray?
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Who's that?
0:02:39 > 0:02:44Oh yes, it's Rebecca with Mickey John.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Hello there!
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Mickey John!
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Hello!
0:02:49 > 0:02:51And Rebecca.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Doing it by yourself?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56What's going on here?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59We're looking at things we collected on our nature walk.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- Look at that beautiful fir cone, Rebecca. It's lovely.- Yeah.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Yes, it's from a fir tree, isn't it, Molly.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09There's an idea. Why don't you all dress Claude up,
0:03:09 > 0:03:10as a fir tree.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17Why don't we waft over to the chairs in a gust of pine-fresh air?
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Ha ha!
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Good idea, Mickey John.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22SHE LAUGHS
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Look at this simply gorgeous scrap book.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30My cousin Lulu gave it to me.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Oh, that's fantastic.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38Well, I didn't know what to do with it until today.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39What are you gonna do with it?
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Look inside! The children and I have been sticking in things
0:03:43 > 0:03:46we found on our nature walk.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Oh! A fine use for a fine book.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I'm glad you said that, Mickey John.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Because, as- I- always say,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56make the most of what you've been given.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I couldn't agree more, Granny Murray.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Speaking of presents, I heard baby Mia was coming later.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04So I bought her this.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Oh, thank you, Mickey John.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Oh, we'll certainly make the most of that.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Oh, look at Claude.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17He looks like a fine fir tree, waving in the wind. LAUGHTER
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- Oh my! - Nice outfit, Claude.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- I'm green with envy.- Oh, you!
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Well done, my cherubs.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27What's this?
0:04:27 > 0:04:28A fir cone, lovely.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Bye-bye, sweetheart.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Be good for Granny Murray. - Come on!
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Remember, make the most of what you've been given.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Thank you. I'll see you later.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Bye-bye. We'll be thinking of you. - Me too!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Will you keep a wee eye on Mickey John?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Make sure he goes the right way to work.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I don't have much time. How can I speed across the river to work?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59HORN BLARES
0:04:59 > 0:05:01That's right, thanks!
0:05:01 > 0:05:04# I'm in in in in in in a hurry
0:05:04 > 0:05:06# I ne ne ne ne need to speed to work
0:05:07 > 0:05:09# I'll take a take a ticket on a speedboat
0:05:10 > 0:05:12# I'll be be be be there quite quick
0:05:13 > 0:05:15# Hurry hurry hurry down the river
0:05:16 > 0:05:18# Splashing splashing splashing through the waves
0:05:18 > 0:05:21# Whining whining whining drives the speed up
0:05:22 > 0:05:24# Chugga chugga chugga slows us down
0:05:25 > 0:05:26# Rocking rocking rocking to the dock
0:05:26 > 0:05:28# Splashing splashing splashing to our stop!

0:05:40 > 0:05:41Hurry, hurry hurry!
0:05:44 > 0:05:47And hurry, hurry, hurry - put my tie on.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56All dressed and ready to go.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Still got a bit of time yet.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I'll just sit down for a minute and settle my thoughts.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Anyone home?- Oh, goodness. Dr Juno.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- What a surprise to see you now. - I've come to see Edgar.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Who's that?- The head teacher.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- You mean Mr Grant.- I came to show him my painting of Riverseafingal.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18We all had to paint a picture of the city for the art class.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Unfortunately, Edgar didn't have time to look at it. He was busy.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Can I see it? I'd love to see it.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27OK.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Oh!
0:06:29 > 0:06:31What do you think?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I think it's absolutely fantastic.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Really?!- It's more than fantastic. I love it, Dr Juno.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Your colour, composition, the way you've used your brush.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Are you all right?
0:06:43 > 0:06:48I'm just so happy, Mickey John. I love that you love my painting.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- As you like it so much, it's yours. - I can't take this.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57- You can. I want you to have it. - Oh, I don't know what to say.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Thank you, Dr Juno.- Just enjoy it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- I've got to get to work. See you later.- Bye! Thanks again.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Lucky me! I've been given two smashing things today.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Dr Juno's painting and Rebecca's fir cone.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16I wonder how you're getting on my little lucky sausage.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19# I love to skip in Riverseafingal
0:07:19 > 0:07:22# Riverseafingal by the sea
0:07:22 > 0:07:24# I love to skip in Riverseafingal
0:07:24 > 0:07:27# Riverseafingal, that's for me. #
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Oh, she's lovely, isn't she?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Hello, baby Mia.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Hello!
0:07:35 > 0:07:39You know, I've just remembered I've got a present for you.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Hello!
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Hello!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45This is from Mickey John.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50- That was nice of your dad to buy baby Mia a present.- Yes.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52She likes it!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00What are you doing now, Daddy?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Right, come on class, that's the way.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05In you come. Come on.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Nice and quiet, please.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Now, I want you all to come up in ones and twos
0:08:11 > 0:08:13and look at this painting by Dr Juno.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Then I want you all to think about your favourite things.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Things you love in Riverseafingal.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Later on we'll write them down.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24But first, time for me to do some hard work.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29# I whoop with joy when I go to school in the morning
0:08:29 > 0:08:33# Teaching with my chums and see the children learning
0:08:33 > 0:08:36# School day, work away!
0:08:36 > 0:08:40# I'm learning learning learning when I'm teaching
0:08:40 > 0:08:44# I'm teaching learning teaching learning, teaching
0:08:44 > 0:08:46# School day, work away!
0:08:46 > 0:08:49# Teaching to count and teaching to read
0:08:49 > 0:08:51# Learning about birds and plants and seeds
0:08:51 > 0:08:53# Playing games and sports outdoors
0:08:53 > 0:08:55# Blowing my whistle and keeping scores
0:08:55 > 0:08:58# School day, work away!
0:08:58 > 0:09:00# Learning learning learning when I'm teaching
0:09:00 > 0:09:04# We're learning learning learning when he's teaching
0:09:04 > 0:09:07# School day, work away!
0:09:07 > 0:09:11# Oh, the secretary's filing as she does her organising
0:09:11 > 0:09:13# The jani fixes, the cookie mixes
0:09:13 > 0:09:15# And the cleaner keeps it shining
0:09:15 > 0:09:19# I whoop with joy when I go to school in the morning
0:09:19 > 0:09:20# All in a line in the dinner queue
0:09:20 > 0:09:23# While the cook he cooks and serves us stew
0:09:23 > 0:09:24# Answering the questions where and why
0:09:24 > 0:09:27# How does it work and how does it fly?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29# School day, work away!
0:09:29 > 0:09:33# I'm learning learning learning when I'm teaching
0:09:33 > 0:09:37# He's learning learning learning when he's teaching
0:09:37 > 0:09:40# School day, work away!
0:09:40 > 0:09:44# All the children peep and eye me as they sit and try their writing
0:09:44 > 0:09:47# I take a look, I mark their books
0:09:47 > 0:09:49# The good ones get a smiley
0:09:49 > 0:09:53# Oh I whoop with joy when I go to school in the morning! #
0:09:53 > 0:09:55BELL RINGS
0:09:55 > 0:09:57OK, everyone. Pack up and off you go.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01I hope you've written down what you like most about Riverseafingal.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Off you go.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Oh, hiya.- Bobby, what are you up to?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I've just been on this nature run.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15It was ace. I saw loads of brilliant things.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Here, I've collected some stuff for you.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Oh, thanks, Bobby.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Ooh. Leaves...and twigs.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Ferns.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Seeds and bark.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33This is fantastic. Thanks, Bobby.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Thought it might be useful for your class.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39That's really kind. And I can really keep all this?
0:10:39 > 0:10:44Of course, I collected it for you. Wow. That's a great picture.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Yeah, it's good.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Did you do it yourself?- Ha, no!
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I love it, who did it?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Dr Juno, it's fantastic.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- She painted it for her art class. - No way!
0:10:55 > 0:10:58She's clever, isn't she? A doctor and an artist.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02I want you to have the painting. You obviously love it as much as I do.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- What? No, I couldn't. - But you gave me all this stuff.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- I want you to have it. - Oh, crumbs!
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Well, all right then. Thanks very much.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I know where I'll put it.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Above my fireplace where everybody'll see it.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Thanks for all this, Bobby.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23No, thank you for the painting. Bye.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28Oh, people are so lovely, aren't they?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I wonder how you're doing, my lovely little girl.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34# I love to skip in Riverseafingal
0:11:34 > 0:11:37# Riverseafingal, that's for me. #
0:11:40 > 0:11:45- Look, Granny Murray, there's a tree. - Oh, there's a tree!
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Well done, Rebecca.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Look, Granny Murray,
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- there's a twig.- Well spotted, you!
0:11:53 > 0:11:55A twig, Mia.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57You hold onto that, my darling.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05Oh, wow! Shall we show them to your dad later?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Yeah.- Good girl.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Thanks for all your hard work, class.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25I've enjoyed reading things you love in Riverseafingal.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Some of you like the Harlequin Hospital in the picture here.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Some of you like the River Fingal.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34You can see it in the picture... here.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Oh, just a moment.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39I've been building up to this moment all day.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43The children have written about Riverseafingal
0:12:43 > 0:12:47but now I don't have a picture to go through their ideas with.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Where did the time go?
0:12:48 > 0:12:52At 7 o'clock, I took Rebecca to see Granny Murray.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55The children had collected things from a nature walk.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Granny Murray stuck everything in a scrapbook as a memento.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03She told me it had been a present to her
0:13:03 > 0:13:06and she hadn't known what to do with it.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Rebecca gave me a present of a fir cone.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11At 8 o'clock, I arrived at school.
0:13:11 > 0:13:17Dr Juno showed me a picture of Riverseafingal that she'd painted.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21I thought the painting was wonderful.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Dr Juno was so pleased I liked it that she gave it to me!
0:13:25 > 0:13:30At 9 o'clock, the children arrived. I asked them to look at the painting
0:13:30 > 0:13:34and write down what they liked best about Riverseafingal.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38At 12 o'clock, Bobby brought things she'd collected on a nature run -
0:13:38 > 0:13:41leaves, seeds, twigs and bark.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44She thought they'd come in useful for my class.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Bobby spotted the painting, and loved it so much I gave it to her.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52At one o'clock, the children arrived for lessons.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56I was talking through their favourite things when I realised
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I didn't have the picture any more.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02How could we talk about our favourite things in the city
0:14:02 > 0:14:04without a picture to look at?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Remember, make the most of what you've been given.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Make the most of what you've been given.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Of course! I gave the picture to Bobby,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17but she gave me things from her nature walk in return.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21I'll make them most of Bobby's gift and make a new picture
0:14:21 > 0:14:25of Riverseafingal. But it's a race against time!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27# I've got to do it I've got to do it
0:14:27 > 0:14:29# I've got to beat the clock before the chime
0:14:29 > 0:14:32# I've got to sort it I've got to sort it
0:14:32 > 0:14:34# I've got to do the job on time
