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 those 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- 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 > 0:01:30# She'd love to say hello to you. #
0:01:30 > 0:01:32ME TOO!
0:01:33 > 0:01:38Hallo, Honeypie! Come away in and see who's at home today.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Don't just sit there, my cherrybuns.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Come on! What's in Granny Murray's shelves today?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Let's have a wee look, girls.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02We can see the world through different colours.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Oh, I love red. Let's have a look.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Oh, wow! See Molly?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12What about yours, Hope? You hold yours up.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Oh, how do you see the world, Hope?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17All bright, like the sunshine.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20So it is! What about yours, Molly?
0:02:20 > 0:02:24I think I'm under the sea.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26You think you're under the sea?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Well, we've got Hope and we've got Molly.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Someone's missing from home today.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Oh, not any more! Who's coming home to Granny Murray?
0:02:37 > 0:02:43Oh, it's Mickey John with Rebecca. Hallo, there!
0:02:43 > 0:02:48Mickey John, hallo. And Rebecca.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Hello, girls, what are you up to?
0:02:55 > 0:03:00Looking through coloured windows, seeing different colours.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Try this one, Mickey John.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Oh, right.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Oh! Everything looks golden yellow now.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Like the sky this morning. That was golden yellow, too.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Why was that?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I don't know, you'll have to ask the professor.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19You always say "ask the professor" when you don't know the answer!
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Now you're here, Rebecca,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25let's dress Claude up as a wise old professor,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27and you, Mickey Brainbox John,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29can take a seat over with the chairs.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33You might have to ask the professor about that one!
0:03:33 > 0:03:36THEY LAUGH
0:03:36 > 0:03:40You're a right tease, Mickey John, so you are.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42You don't know the answers.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46You get away with it or you make up some nonsense!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48That's not true! Well, not always.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53- Sometimes things are complicated. - Not because you're a muddlehead?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56How dare you! I know the answer to lots of things.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59It isn't always easy to explain.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01You can make it simple.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02- Do you really think so?- Yes.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07What do you make of that, professor? THEY LAUGH
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Now we have a professor to ask. Can you tell us about
0:04:10 > 0:04:12the colour of the sun at dawn?
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Hello, professor? Anyone there?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19He is a professor, he's just taking a long time to think.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Here you go, Daddy. - Thank you, sweetheart.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27A picture of the sun. That'll keep me happy all day. Thanks, Rebecca!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Bye-bye, have fun with Granny Murray.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Come on.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Now remember, if you know the answer, you can make it simple.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Thank you. See you later. - Bye-bye, my darlin'.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- We'll be thinking of you!- Me too!
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Will you keep a wee eye on Mickey John?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Make sure he goes the right way to work.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Oh, I don't have much time!
0:04:56 > 0:04:59How can I speed across the river to work?
0:04:59 > 0:05:00BOAT HORN
0:05:00 > 0:05:02That's right, thanks!

0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Oh! And there's Mickey John, Kai. - Hello.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Hello, Kai! Hello, Bobby. Have you come to look round the school?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Yes.- One of the older children will show Kai around.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I've asked Sean to look after you.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19He'll show you the exciting things we do in school.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Tell Kai what sort of things.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Today I'm teaching about Night and Day.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26When it's light that's day,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28and when it's dark, that's night-time.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30How does it get dark?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33That's a very complicated question.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35How does it get light?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38That's another very complicated question.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42I think I'll have to ask the professor about that!
0:06:42 > 0:06:45See? You'll learn all sorts of things at school.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Oh look, there's Sean.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48OK, off you go, Kai.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Have a great time. I'll pick you up at lunch time.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Bye, Mummy.- Bye!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Aw, my grown-up boy! Will he all right?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03He'll be right as rain, happy as a sunbeam.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Sean will look after him.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- See you later.- OK. See you!
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Ah. I hope you're happy, my little sunbeams!
0:07:11 > 0:07:17# I love to skip in Riverseafingal, Riverseafingal, that's for me. #
0:07:18 > 0:07:24Ooh, wow, have you seen one of these before, cupcakes?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Do you know what it is? It's a sundial.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30How it works is, on a sunny day,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33the sun casts a shadow on this wee bit here,
0:07:33 > 0:07:38and the shadow points to the numbers on the dial and tells us the time.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Your daddy would love one of these at home, wouldn't he?- Yes.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- BELL - What are you doing now, Daddy?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51There goes the bell and here comes my class.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55That's it, in you come. Quick march, let's have you.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58We've got a lot to get through this morning.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- Good morning everyone. - ALL: Good morning.
0:08:02 > 0:08:08Today we're going to learn all about Mr Smiley Sun...I mean the sun,
0:08:08 > 0:08:12and what it does. We'll also learn about night and day.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15But first we need to learn a bit about the world.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21This is the world. And this is Riverseafingal.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23So. Where do we fit on the world?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25I'll tell you.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Oh. Where's Riverseafingal?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29There it is! Good job.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Right. It goes there.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I want you all to look at the world,
0:08:34 > 0:08:39and see if you can draw what shape it is. Go on, then.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41What shape is the world?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I'm seeing some good shapes here.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Let's have a look.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Excellent, you've all got it right.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52You've drawn a circle. That's right.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57So far, so good. Now it's time to get down to some really hard work.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01# Oh, what joy when I go to school in the morning
0:09:01 > 0:09:04# Teaching with my chums and see the children learning
0:09:04 > 0:09:08# School day, work away!

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Well done, everyone. It's been a good morning's work.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31SCHOOL BELL
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Off you go and have lunch.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Be back this afternoon to learn more about night and day.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Hi, Teacher!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47I've brought you an apple.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Oh, hi, Dr Juno. What are you up to?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53I've been handing out fruit, part of my healthy-eating campaign.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I see. Jolly good.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- There you go - one bit of fruit with your lunch.- Thanks very much.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- Hmm.- It's not got a maggot in it, if that's what you're thinking.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Oh, no, I was just thinking.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08What does it remind you of, floating in space?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- An apple.- No, it's our very own world.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- The Blue Planet!- It's not blue,
0:11:12 > 0:11:17it's a Red Delicious. Anyway, I'm due back at the hospital.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Make sure you actually eat your Blue Planet, all right?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Ahh! I hope you are having fun, Rebecca.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27# I love to skip in Riverseafingal
0:11:27 > 0:11:30# Riverseafingal, that's for me. #
0:11:31 > 0:11:37One beautiful day in Riverseafingal, the sun came out
0:11:37 > 0:11:41and all the little bunny rabbits came out of their burrows.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45They were eating the grass and resting in the sun,
0:11:45 > 0:11:49but all too soon the sun went down and it was night-time.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52What comes out at night-time?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- The moon.- The moon!
0:11:54 > 0:12:00- And an owl came flying by. What did the owl say?- Twit-twoo!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Good girl! Twit-twoo!
0:12:05 > 0:12:07SCHOOL BELL
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Settle down now.
0:12:12 > 0:12:18Fantastic. This afternoon, I'm going to tell you all about night and day.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Now, when it gets dark at night,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24we go to bed and animals come out that don't come out in the day,
0:12:24 > 0:12:29like mice, badgers, foxes and owls. Twit-twoo!
0:12:29 > 0:12:31CHILDREN GIGGLE
0:12:31 > 0:12:36Then, in the morning, the birds sing and we all get out of bed.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37There, night and day.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39What is night?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42That's a good question. Night is when it's dark.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44How does it get dark?
0:12:44 > 0:12:48That's a complicated question. We'll need to ask the professor about it.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51How does it get light?
0:12:51 > 0:12:55We'll have to ask the professor about that! Any questions? No? Good.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Can we ask the professor a question, please?
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Aye...
0:12:59 > 0:13:04I've been working hard preparing my lesson about night and day,
0:13:04 > 0:13:08but when the children ask, "What is night?" and "What is day?",
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I can't think of an easy answer. Where did the time go?
0:13:11 > 0:13:15'At seven o'clock, I dropped Rebecca off at Granny Murray's house.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19'We talked about how the sun changes the colour of the sky
0:13:19 > 0:13:21'and she asked me why it happens.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25'I wasn't sure how to explain so I told her to ask the professor.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27'At eight o'clock, I got to work.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32'I told Kai about the things we learn in class,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34'like about night and day.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37'He asked questions and I wasn't sure how to explain the answer,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39'so I told him to ask the professor.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43'At nine o'clock, my class came in and we learned about the world.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46'At 12 o'clock, my class went off for lunch.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49'Dr Juno came with a fruit trolley and an apple for me.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53'I thought it looked like the world floating in space.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56'At one o'clock, my class came back from lunch.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00'I started to tell them the difference between night and day,
0:14:00 > 0:14:04'but they asked lots of questions. I can't explain them easily.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06'What am I going to do?'
0:14:06 > 0:14:11Now, remember, if you know the answer, you can make it simple.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14If you know the answer, you can make it simple.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Well, I do know the answer, so I just have to make it simple.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21I've got an idea. It's a race against time.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24# I've got to do it I've got to do it
0:14:24 > 0:14:27# I've got to beat the clock before the chime
0:14:27 > 0:14:30# I've got to sort it I've got to sort it
0:14:30 > 0:14:32# I've got to do the job on time
0:14:32 > 0:14:34# Like a busy bee I'm going to beat that bong
0:14:34 > 0:14:37# I'm going to finish this job before you finish this so-o-o-ong
0:14:37 > 0:14:42# Do we think he's going to do it? Do the job that needs to be done?
0:14:42 > 0:14:47# Will he know how to fix it? Will he finish what he has begun?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50# To show his real friends he will get there in the end
0:14:50 > 0:14:52# Cos he knows what he should do and work it through
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- # I'm going to do it - He's going to do it
0:14:54 > 0:14:56# I'm going to beat the clock before the chime
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- # I'm going to sort it - He's going to sort it
0:14:59 > 0:15:02# I'm going to do the job on time
0:15:02 > 0:15:05# Like a busy bee I'm going to beat that bong
0:15:05 > 0:15:08# I'm going to finish this job Before I finish that so-o-o-ong. #
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Now, this is the world,
0:15:10 > 0:15:15and this here is Riverseafingal. That's where we live.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Can someone spin the world for me? Up you come.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20That's it. Give it a good twirl.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Now, the world is always spinning, like this.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Sometimes - stop that there -
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Riverseafingal is facing towards the sun,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31and the sunlight shines down on it, and that's daytime.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Give it another spin.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Stop it there.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40And sometimes Riverseafingal is facing away from the sun,
0:15:40 > 0:15:44which means the sunlight can't hit it, and that's night-time, see?
0:15:44 > 0:15:49- Do we all understand the difference between night and day? ALL:- Yes!
0:15:49 > 0:15:53- Great! So we don't have to ask the professor any more.- No, we don't.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58I wonder how you're getting on, my little ray of sunshine.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- Who wants to play the Light and Dark game?- ALL: Me!
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Me, too. Are you ready to dance about?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11When the music stops, hide under the blankets, OK? Go!
0:16:11 > 0:16:13MUSIC PLAYS
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Good dancing, girls.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19And stop! Oh, quick! Quick as a flash!
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Well done, girls.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23And start.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28That's right!

0:17:04 > 0:17:08- You're good as gold. - Thanks from me, too, Your saying -
0:17:08 > 0:17:12if you know the answer, you can make it simple - saved the day.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22- Looking forward to next time. - Me, too!
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Rebecca, let's chat about our time away.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29And I suppose you'll want me to tell you all about my time, too.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32# Well, there was...
0:17:32 > 0:17:34# Playing, running creeping, jumping
0:17:34 > 0:17:35# Chasing, painting laughing, baking
0:17:35 > 0:17:36# Bathing, dressing singing, swinging
0:17:36 > 0:17:38# Rocking, sliding, hunting, hiding
0:17:38 > 0:17:41# Jumping up and turning round
0:17:41 > 0:17:44# Dressing up and sitting down. #
0:17:46 > 0:17:50But what was really special about today? Well,
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Claude was dressed as a professor because we wondered
0:17:54 > 0:17:58why the sun makes the sky different colours through the day.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Mickey John couldn't explain,
0:18:00 > 0:18:04so he told us to ask the professor.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05The silly onion!
0:18:05 > 0:18:09I took the children to the park and we found a sundial.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13It's a special clock that tells the time using the sun.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17When we got home, we made night-and-day shadows,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19and I told the children a story.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24Later, we played the Light and Dark game, and hid under blankets.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29I made the rules simple so the children could understand.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33That's just what Mickey John did in his class, too.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35SHE GIGGLES
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I hope you enjoyed yourself.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Me, too!
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Bye-bye, honey pie!
