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 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- 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 > 0:01:13Eight 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... #
0:01:33 > 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 > 0:01:44# Granny Murray's house is home to... #
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Who's here today?
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Well we've got Maria and we've got Carrie.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Don't just sit there! Let's have some fun!
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Let's go outside. It's a beautiful day.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Who want's to go on Granny Murray's seesaw?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Ready? Push. Whee!
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Ooh, that's fantastic!
0:02:06 > 0:02:08We've got Maria and Carrie.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11But someone's missing from home today.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Who's coming home to Granny Murray? Who's that?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Who's legs are those coming down the steps?
0:02:18 > 0:02:19It's Rebecca!
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Yes! With Mickey John. Hello, there!
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Hello, Mickey John.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35- Come on, darlings. Come and see Rebecca.- Hello, chaps.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Now we'll do something new.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Why don't we dress Claude up as a big strong man?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Off you go, my darlings.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- Strong man? You mean like me. - Oh, yes, Mickey John!
0:02:52 > 0:02:56So, what have you got planned for today?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58I'm taking the children around the city.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- Then we'll all get ourselves weighed.- What a great idea!
0:03:02 > 0:03:05They can learn about heavy things.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08It'll make it easier for big school.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Do some children not understand how heavy things are?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13It can be tricky.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Take my Rebecca.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17She doesn't know why she can't lift me up,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20but I can lift her right up in the air, no problem.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Are you Superman in disguise?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25No, but I bet I can lift you up.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29No, stop it, Mickey John, you can't lift me!
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Let's try anyway!- No, no, no!
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Away with you, now!
0:03:33 > 0:03:38- OK.- Right. Careful, easy does it.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- On three.- One, two, three.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Ooh!
0:03:43 > 0:03:46How did you manage to lift me so easily?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50The important thing about lifting things is how you lift them.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Come and have a look.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57If I want to lift this big cushion, I bend my leg at the knees,
0:03:57 > 0:04:01grab hold of the cushion, and then push up with my legs.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Oh, now I see.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07It's amazing what you can learn when you see how something is done.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Will you look at Claude.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Well, you certainly look like a strong man now, Claude.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Here you are.- What's this?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19A balancing butterfly. This looks like fun, too.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20I'll take it to school.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- Thanks, love.- Goodbye, Dad.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Have fun with Granny Murray.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Come on, pumpkin.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Now, remember.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37It's amazing what you can learn when you see how something's done.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Thank you. See you later.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Bye-bye. We'll be thinking of you. - Me too!
0:04:43 > 0:04:48You keep an eye on Mickey John. Make sure he goes the right way to work.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51WHISTLE PEEPS
0:04:52 > 0:04:56I don't have much time. How can I speed across the river to work?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58HORN BLARES
0:04:58 > 0:04:59That's right, thanks.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01# I'm in, in, in, in, in a hurry
0:05:01 > 0:05:04# I nee, nee, nee, need to speed to work
0:05:04 > 0:05:08# I take a take a ticket on a speedboat
0:05:08 > 0:05:11# I'll be, be, be, be, be, be there quite quick
0:05:11 > 0:05:14# Hurry, hurry, hurry down the river
0:05:14 > 0:05:17# Splashing, splashing through the waves
0:05:17 > 0:05:19# Whining, whining drives the speed up
0:05:19 > 0:05:22# Chugga, chugga slows us down.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24# Rocking, rocking to the dock
0:05:24 > 0:05:28# Go splashing, splashing to our stop
0:05:28 > 0:05:30# I'm in, in, in, in, in a hurry
0:05:30 > 0:05:33# I nee, nee, nee, need to speed to work
0:05:34 > 0:05:37# I'm in, in, in, in, in a hurry
0:05:37 > 0:05:40# I nee, nee, need to speed to work! #
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Hurry, hurry, hurry.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47And hurry, hurry, hurry. Put my tie on.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55All snazzy and ready to go!
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Oh. Rebecca's balancing butterfly.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08# Seesaw Margery Daw. #
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Playtime already, Mickey John?
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Sorry, Rudi. I was just getting ready for today's lesson.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16I believe you(!)
0:06:16 > 0:06:21I thought I'd say, "hello" after taking an order from the canteen.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- Why wouldn't the owl sing when it was raining?- I don't know!
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Because he said he was, "To wet to woo!"
0:06:30 > 0:06:32You'll like this one.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33- What's... - BELL RINGS
0:06:33 > 0:06:35You'll have to save that one.
0:06:35 > 0:06:399 o'clock, here comes my class. Better start work.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I suppose so. I'd better get back to work.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47Could you come back later and chat to the class about weighing things?
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- It's my special project.- Sorry. I'm going to be really busy today.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56I'll send some stuff over to teach the kids how much things weigh.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- That would be great! See you, Rudi. Bye!- All the best!
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Right. Can you do some silent reading while I take the register?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I wonder if Rebecca has set off on her walk yet?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13# I love to skip in Riverseafingal
0:07:13 > 0:07:16# Riverseafingal, by the sea
0:07:16 > 0:07:18# I love to skip in Riverseafingal
0:07:18 > 0:07:21# Riverseafingal, that's for me. #
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Have a lovely day!
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I wish I could be a fly on the wall at the nursery.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51What's it like at your school, Daddy?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Special delivery for a Mickey John!
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Let's see what Rudi sent over.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08Bananas, turnips, oh, and a coconut.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10All sorts of things!
0:08:10 > 0:08:14I can use these to teach the children about weighing.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- Thanks for bringing them over.- Bye!
0:08:16 > 0:08:21We'll do some weighing later. There's still lots of hard work to do.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23My day is so busy!
0:08:23 > 0:08:27# I whoop with joy when I go to school in the morning
0:08:27 > 0:08:31# Teaching with my chums and see the children learning
0:08:31 > 0:08:33# School day Work away
0:08:34 > 0:08:38# I'm learning learning learning when I'm teaching

0:08:53 > 0:08:55# School day Work away
0:08:55 > 0:08:58# I'm learning learning when I'm teaching

0:09:05 > 0:09:09# Oh, the secretary's smiling as she does her organising
0:09:09 > 0:09:13# Janny fixes, cooky mixes The cleaner keeps us shining
0:09:13 > 0:09:16# I whoop with joy when I go to school in the morning
0:09:16 > 0:09:20# All in a line in the dinner queue As the cooky serves a stew
0:09:20 > 0:09:22# Answering - where and why?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24# How does it work? How does it fly?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27# School day Work away

0:09:42 > 0:09:45# I take a look I mark their books
0:09:45 > 0:09:47# The good ones get a smiley
0:09:47 > 0:09:52# I whoop with joy when I go to school in the morning. #
0:09:52 > 0:09:54BELL RINGS
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Can I talk now? - Yes, you can talk now, Louie.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59It's lunchtime.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Great! Rudy sent these over.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05It's a spare set of scales - very hi-tech!
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Is that one of those scales that talks? Let's try it.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Put it on my desk!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16One cabbage, wasn't it, darlin'?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20This one 'ere. Fresh this morning.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22'0.5 kilos.'
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Incredible! What will they think of next?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Let's try this coconut.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31'1.2 kilos.'
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Brilliant, just brilliant!
0:10:33 > 0:10:36This'll be very useful later today. Thanks.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39No probs, Mickey John. Catch you later!
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Now, what can I weigh next?
0:10:43 > 0:10:48Ha-ha, course! Rebecca's butterfly.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50'Five grams.'
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Rebecca would love to see this.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I wonder what she's doing right now?
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Come on, my darling. There it is there!
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Here we are - a special weighing machine.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13It looks fancy. It speaks your weight!
0:11:13 > 0:11:19I went on last week and it said, "Granny Murray, stop eating pies."
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Let's get the money out.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25'16 kilos.'
0:11:25 > 0:11:3016 kilos?! Wow! Wait till we tell your dad that one!
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Good girl! Wheee!
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- 'I'm thinking of you, Daddy.' - I hope you're having fun, my love.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- Hiya! - Oh, Bobby, what brings you here?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Just gonna show my friend around.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- He's thinking about sending his son here.- A brilliant choice.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I hope your friend's seen how great it is.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02The teachers are incredible, especially me!
0:12:02 > 0:12:07We go on trips to museums and we have all the latest hi-tech gadgets
0:12:07 > 0:12:11to teach the children about weighing things. Take a look!
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Ooh, wow! So how does that work?
0:12:15 > 0:12:18There's nothing to it. See this coconut? It weighs...
0:12:18 > 0:12:20'1.2 kilos.'
0:12:20 > 0:12:221.2 kilograms!
0:12:22 > 0:12:26And this turnip weighs...
0:12:26 > 0:12:28'0.8 kilos.'
0:12:28 > 0:12:300.8 kilograms. Amazing, isn't it?
0:12:30 > 0:12:35Sort of, but I still don't really understand how much things weigh.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- Hey?- Just because these amazing newfangled scales
0:12:39 > 0:12:43can tell that this turnip weighs 0.8 kilos,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- what does that mean?- Hey?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Is it heavy or is it light?
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Does this turnip weigh the same as three carrots?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I dunno. Call me old-fashioned.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59I'd best be off. Good luck with your class later. Bye!
0:12:59 > 0:13:01But... I thought the scales
0:13:01 > 0:13:06would help the children understand about weighing things.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09But maybe Bobby's right. BELL RINGS
0:13:09 > 0:13:12One o'clock - time for class to start again.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17I want to teach the class about how heavy and light different things are,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20but I don't know how! Where did the time go?
0:13:20 > 0:13:24At eight o'clock, I dropped off Rebecca at Granny Murray's.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Granny Murray said they'd go for a walk
0:13:27 > 0:13:30and weigh themselves, just for fun.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34It gave me the idea to teach my class about weighing things.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37At nine o'clock, Rudi popped in with a joke.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I told him about my weighing lesson
0:13:39 > 0:13:43and he said he'd send some stuff over to help.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44At 10 o'clock,
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Louie interrupted our silent reading to bring some fruit and veg
0:13:48 > 0:13:50for my weighing lesson.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53At 12 o'clock, the children went for lunch.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Louie called by again with Rudi's scales.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59We had fun as we weighed different vegetables.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02At one o'clock, Bobby popped in.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06I showed her the scales, but she still didn't understand.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10She wanted to know whether things were light or heavy
0:14:10 > 0:14:14or whether a cabbage weighed the same as three potatoes.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- The scales can't show that! - It's amazing what you can learn
0:14:18 > 0:14:21when you see how something's done.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Granny Murray said it's amazing what you can learn
0:14:25 > 0:14:27when you see how something's done.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30I have to make a different sort of scales
0:14:30 > 0:14:33where we can see how things balance.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Something like...a seesaw!
0:14:36 > 0:14:40The class are waiting for their lesson. It's a race against time!
0:14:40 > 0:14:43# I gotta do it I gotta do it
0:14:43 > 0:14:46# I gotta beat the clock before the chime
0:14:46 > 0:14:48# I gotta sort it I gotta sort it
0:14:48 > 0:14:50# I gotta do the job on time
0:14:50 > 0:14:53# Like a busy bee, I'm gonna beat that bong
0:14:53 > 0:14:56# I'll finish the job before I finish this song
0:14:56 > 0:15:00# Do we think he's gonna do it? Do the job that needs to be done
0:15:00 > 0:15:03# Will he know how to fix it?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05# Will he finish what he has begun?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08# Sure as we are friends, he will get there in the end
0:15:08 > 0:15:10# Cos he knows what he should do
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- # I'm gonna do it - He's gonna do it
0:15:13 > 0:15:15# I'll beat the clock before the chime
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- # I'm gonna sort it - He's gonna sort it
0:15:18 > 0:15:21# I'm gonna do the job on time
0:15:21 > 0:15:23# Like a busy bee, I'm gonna beat that bong
0:15:23 > 0:15:27# I'm gonna finish the job before I finish this song. #
0:15:27 > 0:15:30With my new seesaw scale, it's much easier to see
0:15:30 > 0:15:32what's heavy or light.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35So are you ready to do some more weighing?
0:15:35 > 0:15:36- ALL:- Yes!
0:15:36 > 0:15:40OK, this parsnip and this banana.
