Making a Fuss 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 those 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 Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, by the sea. #

Seven 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 Steven and we've got Megan.

Don't just sit there, my wee poppets. Come on, let's get busy.

Pebbles! Let's have a wee look at these. They're beautiful.

Feel how cold and soft they are.

We're going to make wee pebble pets. It's a tongue twister!

Can you say that, Megan? A perfect pebble pet.

-Yellow here.

-Yellow here.

Do you like him?

Well, we've got Megan and we've got Steven,

but someone's missing today.

Ah, not any more. Who's coming home to Granny Murray?

It's Sampson with Dr Juno. Hello, there!

Dr Juno, hello. And Sampson, come on, boy.

Good boy, come on.

That's the way.

Come and say hello to Sampson!

Sampson, look who's come to say hello.

-We've been painting pebble pets.

-Brilliant!

I collected the pebbles from the beach. That gives me an idea.

Why don't you dress Claude up as a beachcomber?

Into your basket, Sampson. Good boy.

And we can pebbledash our way over to the chairs.

Ooh! Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch.

Crunch, crunch.

Granny Murray, you should be careful.

Children could swallow little pebbles.

I only let them play with big pebbles and I tell them

-not to put anything in their mouths.

-Good. You can't be too careful.

My friend, Florie, looks after a girl called Trudie,

she puts everything in her mouth. Once Florie needed the toilet...

As we all do! She left Trudie alone?

She was playing on the floor with her puzzle.

When Florie came back, she noticed something was missing.

-What?

-A goldfish from the bowl!

-She thought that Trudie had swallowed it.

-Oh, no!

Florie got in a right flap.

She went on the internet to see what to do.

The more upset Florie got, Trudie started to get upset,

and when she got upset, Florie got even more upset!

What happened?

The goldfish swam out from behind a pebble, Trudie hadn't swallowed it.

-So Florie had panicked for nothing?

-That's right. It goes to show -

other people's upsets can upset you too.

Ahhh. Oh, well, Claude won't upset anyone dressed like that.

-Look at this!

-You look perfect for beachcombing, Claude.

-There you are, Dr Juno.

-Thank you.

-It's gorgeous.

-It's a wee pebble pet for you, honey pie.

-Brilliant.

It reminds me of my own pet.

Bye, Sampson. Be good for Granny Murray.

-Bye-bye.

-Come on.

Remember, other people's upsets can upset you too.

Thank you. See you later.

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

-Me too.

You keep a wee eye on Dr Juno, make sure she goes the right way to work.

I'm in a hurry today, which is the best way to work?

Thank you.

# I'm in a hurry

# I really, really need to speed to work

# A ticket, ticket, ticket on the tramway

# I'll be-be-be-be there quite quick

# Hurry, hurry, hurry on the tramlines

# Clatter, clatter, clatter at the points

# Winding, winding, winding drives the speed up

# Squeaking, squeaking, squeaking slows us down

# Clatter, clatter, clatter Squeaky, squeaky, squeaky

# Till we stop

# I'm in-in-in a hurry

# I really, really, really need to speed to work. #

Ooh, hurry, hurry, hurry.

And hurry to get changed.

All dressed and ready to go.

Oh!

My pebble pet will keep me company today.

Morning, Dr Juno. Can you look at the Hazards in the Home chart?

Yes, of course, Nurse Hendry.

You spot all the dangerous things that can happen in the kitchen.

And these are the forms for your answers.

How many can you spot?

The hot saucepan on the cooker. The bucket of water on the floor.

The wire from the iron.

The knives on the counter.

The dog bowl on the floor.

Five out of five.

-You're the first person to spot the dog bowl.

-Because I've got a dog.

I wonder how Sampson's doing.

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal by the sea

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, that's for me. #

Right, one across -

-an animal that barks, three letters.

-SAMPSON PANTS

What's that funny noise, Granny Murray?

SAMPSON PANTS

Ooh, Sampson. Oh, no! Hope you haven't swallowed a pebble.

What would Dr Juno do?

SAMPSON BARKS

-Dr Juno? You have a patient in the examination room.

-Oh, right.

-Hello, Tia. What's happened to you?

-I burnt my hand under hot water.

-I hope we're not making a big fuss.

-Oh, not at all. Let's take a look.

Hmm. Well, it's not too bad, you're very lucky.

Did you put her hand under cold water?

For scolds, it's the best thing.

OK, your hand might sting a little bit, Tia,

but Nurse Hendry's gonna put cream on it.

Maybe you need to make the hot water a bit cooler at home.

-Look, I'll see you later!

-OK. Thanks, Dr Juno.

-Bye.

That's another hazard to add to our chart.

I think it's going to be very busy day today so I should work.

# It's so exciting in the hospital

# It's where the people who are ill get well

# Machines are buzzing to give us a thrill

# I'm rushing here and there to be here

# I'm rushing here and there to be here

# It's so exciting in the hospital

# Trolleys driving patients through the corridors

# Flashing blue lights run up to the door

# I'm rushing here and there to be here

# I'm rushing here and there to be here

# Oh, yeah

# I'll be there to comfort you at all times

# I'll be there to see all is fine

# I'll be there whenever I'm needed, yeah

# To hear the heart beat beat in time

# Don't worry, I'll always be kind

# I'll bring a smile and take away your worries, yeah

# Nurses and doctors, you must understand

# We are there to hold her hand

# We are there to take your cares away

# It's so exciting in the hospital

# I'm rushing here and there to be here

# I'm rushing here and there to be here. #

-Ooh! Time for a cuppa.

-Dr Juno?

-Spoke too soon. Yes, Nurse Hendry?

-Mickey's in the examination room.

Oh, dear. What's happened?

Ah, Dr Juno.

This is Sean. He had an asthma attack in class.

Oh, I see. Let's have a look.

Did you follow the normal procedure?

Yes. I sat him down with his hands on his knees to keep calm.

He used his inhaler twice.

Oh, great. That was right. You were still feeling poorly, Sean?

You seem OK now.

Nurse Hendry will look after you, all right?

-And I will see you later.

-I hope I was being an old fusspot

-bringing him into the hospital?

-Not at all. You did the right thing.

-You can never be too careful.

-Good.

I'd hate to be an old fusspot.

-Did I really do the right thing?

-Yes, you did.

I've got to go to my office. I've got some paperwork to catch up on.

I hope my waggy friend's having a good time.

DOGS BARK

-Hello, Sampson.

-Oh, I'm sorry to make a fuss.

Could take a look at Sampson?

He started coughing and we were painting pebbles....

I'm worried he swallowed one.

No problem. We'll give him a good check over, make sure he's OK.

Oh, don't worry, Sampson. It'll just be like Dr Juno looking at you.

-Come on, Sampson. Let's go through.

-Come on.

Just to let you know, I've seen Sean and he seems fine.

Oh, great! Let's give him the good news.

Hello, Sean. Oh, you're looking much better now.

You can go back to school.

If you feel poorly, just use your inhaler.

You sure about Sean going back to school?

Of course you're sure, you're the doctor. I'm sorry.

I'm not making a fuss, am I? I'm sorry if I am, I hate it.

I want know I did the right thing. Oh, dear. This is all my fault.

Oh... Oh, my goodness. What's going on?

Sean's ready to go back to school, but Mickey's is a complete flap!

What can I do? Where did the time go?

At 7 o'clock, I dropped Sampson at Granny Murray's.

The children were painting lovely pebble pets.

At 8 o'clock, I got to work.

Nurse Hendry showed me a chart about hazards at home.

I spotted lots of dangers in the kitchen,

even the dog bowl that you might trip over.

At 10 o'clock, I examined a little girl who'd burnt her hand.

Her mum was worried that she was making a fuss about nothing.

But I told her she'd done the right thing.

At 12 o'clock, Mickey arrived in the examination room with Sean.

Sean had had an asthma attack.

At 1 o'clock, it was time for Sean to go back to school.

His asthma had gone and he was fine.

But Mickey was very upset. He thought he was making a fuss,

and that it was all his fault. He's in a real flap. What can I do?

Now remember, other people's upsets can upset you too.

"Other people's upsets can upset you too."

Of course! I've got to calm Mickey down.

He's all upset from looking after Sean.

Mickey thought he was being a fusspot.

So I've got to make a real fuss over him!

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 gonna beat that bong

# I'm gonna finish that job before I finish this song

# Do we think she's going to do it?

# Do the job that needs to be done

# Will she know how to fix it?

# Will she finish what she has begun?

# Yes, we're sure she'll finish She'll get there in the end

# Because she knows what she should do and work it through

-# I'm gonna do it

-She's going to do it

# I'm gonna beat the clock before the chime

-# I'm gonna sort it

-She's going to sort it

# I'm gonna do the job on time

# Like a busy bee I'm gonna beat that bong

# I'm gonna finish that job before I finish this song. #

-Are you feeling better now?

-Yes, thanks.

Sorry I made such a fuss earlier. I...

-Don't start that again. You were not making a fuss, OK?

-OK.

Other people's upset can upset you too.

Let's go and see how Sean's doing.

-We were just spotting some hazards in the home.

-I'll do it with you.

Patient and teacher seem to be doing fine.

< Yeah, they are.

I hope my furry friend's fine too. I wonder what he's up to right now.

-Is he all right?

-He's fine.

Dogs often swallow things but he hasn't swallowed a pebble.

What about his coughing?

It's just a tickle, but he'll be fine.

Ohh, that's great news, isn't it, my darlings?

Dr Juno will be pleased. Come on, you! Let's get you home.

Dr Juno will be coming to pick him up.

Dr Juno, come away in.

Sampson, look who's here!

Hello, Sampson. Hey, good boy!

Did you have a nice time with Granny Murray?

Sampson wants to say thank you. And thanks from me too.

I remembered what you said. Other people's upsets can upset you too.

-It saved the day.

-Oh, gracious!

-Come on now. You'll want to be off.

-Come on, Sampson.

-Bye-bye, my darlings. I'm looking forward to next time.

-Me too!

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

And I suppose you'll want to know all about my time too.

# Well, there was waving, greeting

# Hello meeting, bow-wow closing

# Waking, dozing, eating, sleeping Painting, gluing, chewing

# Sticking up and wiping round

# Washing up and splashing down

# Then there was

# Hugging, skooshing, walking, pushing

# Dusting, dancing, sharing, choosing

# Talking, cooking, drying, cleaning

# Laughing, joking Fixing things and rushing round

# Picking up and putting down

# Then there was

# Playing, running, creeping, joking

# Chasing, painting, laughing, making

# Singing, swinging Hunting, hiding

# Jumping up and turning round

# Dressing up and sitting down! #

But what was really special about today?

Well, Claude was dressed ready for the beach

because the children and I painted patterns on pebbles

to make perfect pebble pets.

Dr Juno warned me about the dangers

of letting children swallow small things.

Later, Sampson started coughing. I got upset

because I thought he might have swallowed a pebble,

so we took Sampson to the vet's. I hoped I wasn't making a fuss,

but the vet decided to examine Sampson.

The vet said Sampson was fine.

He hadn't swallowed a pebble. His cough was a tickle in his throat

so we could all stop being upset by other people's upsets

and calm down.

At the hospital, Dr Juno calmed Mickey John down too

when she realised he had been upset by other people's upsets.

I'll give you your tea in a minute.

It's much easier looking after my pebble pet.

I never have to get upset.

I hope you enjoyed yourself. Me too!

Bye-bye, honey pie.
