0:02:01 > 0:02:03That's fantastic!

0:02:03 > 0:02:06How can we tell that the photographs are old?

0:02:06 > 0:02:11- They're black and white. - Well done. Do you know who this is?

0:02:11 > 0:02:15This is a picture of my great-aunt Mitzi.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Well, we've got Hope and we've got Robbie.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23But someone's missing from Granny Murray's today.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28Oh, not any more! Who's coming home to Granny Murray?

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Oh, it's Rebecca with Mickey John.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Hello there!

0:02:34 > 0:02:38- Mickey John, hello. - Hello, my darling.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43In we come, Rebecca. That's a good girl.

0:02:43 > 0:02:48We've been looking at old postcards and photographs. Ooh!

0:02:48 > 0:02:51I came across a picture of my great-aunt Mitzi.

0:02:51 > 0:02:57Here, why don't you all dress Claude up as great-aunt Mitzi?

0:02:57 > 0:02:58That's the way!

0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Kind sir, could you escort me to the drawing room?- Delighted to, my lady.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Oh, ha-ha! - BOTH LAUGH

0:03:13 > 0:03:14Oh!

0:03:14 > 0:03:17My great-aunt Mitzi was a wonderful woman.

0:03:17 > 0:03:22She was quite old when I knew her, not the young woman in that picture.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25- She must've had a soft spot for you. - Oh, she did!

0:03:25 > 0:03:30She used to knit me a pair of socks for my birthday every single year.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Really?!- Yes.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36I could tell how old I was by counting all the socks

0:03:36 > 0:03:39- that my aunt had knitted for me. - That is amazing.

0:03:39 > 0:03:44Ever since I was a young boy, my granny has knitted me a pair of socks

0:03:44 > 0:03:49every year for my birthday! In fact, I'm wearing a pair now.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53- Look, there, see! - Oh! Well, they look a bit worn.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56It must be getting near time for your birthday.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Oh!- Do you know, when I think of the years gone by,

0:04:00 > 0:04:03- I think of socks.- Me too.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07I'm taking the children to a museum today and we're going to imagine

0:04:07 > 0:04:10what it was like to have lived 100 years ago.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Now that does sound like fun!

0:04:12 > 0:04:16Ha-ha. Ooh, will you look at Claude!

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Very pretty, Claude.

0:04:18 > 0:04:23Well done, everyone. He looks just like my great-aunt Mitzi.

0:04:23 > 0:04:28- Here you are.- Oh, I can't take that, it belongs to Granny Murray.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32No, you take that photograph and use it for your lessons.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Thanks. I'd better be going. Bye-bye, beautiful girl.- Bye.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39- See you later.- Come on then.

0:04:42 > 0:04:43Now remember...

0:04:43 > 0:04:48when I think of the years one by, I think of socks.

0:04:48 > 0:04:52- Thank you. I'll see you later. - We'll think of you.- Me too!

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Now, you keep a wee eye on Mickey John,

0:04:57 > 0:04:59make sure he goes the right way to work.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29- They're from my dad's old wardrobe. - Flaretastic!

0:06:29 > 0:06:32They wore their trousers wide in those days!

0:06:32 > 0:06:36- Your class will be here soon so I'd better get off.- OK, thanks.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38- Bye.- See you. - BELL RINGS

0:06:38 > 0:06:42Nine o'clock. I wonder if Rebecca's on her way to the museum yet.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Oh, that's lunch time. Off you go.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48- Hi, Tina.- Check out all this booty!

0:09:48 > 0:09:52Loads of costumes from the store and all for you!

0:09:52 > 0:09:56- This will really help out with my lesson.- It certainly will.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59Ooh, ooh, look at this.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Ooh, ooh, and how about this?

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Raymond loves this.

0:10:08 > 0:10:13I'm not quite sure what period of history you're coming from.

0:10:13 > 0:10:19- Let me think.- Don't be silly. These are all parts of different outfits.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22- But you knew that, right? - Yeah, yeah, of course.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24I'll be back this afternoon

0:10:24 > 0:10:28and Raymond will be here in a minute to help you out.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30- See you later then.- Cheerie!

0:10:34 > 0:10:38I do have lot to sort out. Maybe the picture Rebecca gave me

0:10:38 > 0:10:40this morning will inspire me.

0:10:42 > 0:10:49# I love to skip in Riverseafingal Riverseafingal, that's for me. #

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Ooh, look!

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Look at this train go by. Look at the big steam engine.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Wave everyone, wave! Hello!

0:11:02 > 0:11:05I bet your daddy would love that.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12'I'm thinking of you, Daddy.'

0:11:12 > 0:11:17- All ready to go?- Ah, Raymond. I think I've got everything sorted out.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21- Come on then, give it your best shot.- Here goes...

0:11:21 > 0:11:24I'm going to tell you about the different clothes people wore

0:11:24 > 0:11:28over the last 100 years. For example, 40 years ago,

0:11:28 > 0:11:31a young man might've worn a pair of winkle pickers.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35That's another name for shoes like this. They're pointy!

0:11:35 > 0:11:40- And 30 years ago, a woman might've worn a dress like this.- Ooh!

0:11:40 > 0:11:44Well, 100 years ago, people wore these.

0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Now these are called spats... - Wait a minute. When was this again?

0:11:48 > 0:11:53- About 100 years ago.- Was that before or after the pointy shoes?- Before.

0:11:53 > 0:11:58I hope you don't mind me saying so, but this is a bit muddled.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01I haven't a clue what clothes are from when.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03I suppose it is a bit muddled.

0:12:03 > 0:12:08I've been working hard all day long to make my lesson fun and simple.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11But why is it all mixed up? Where did the time go?

0:12:12 > 0:12:16At eight o'clock, I took Rebecca to visit Granny Murray.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20Granny Murray told me all about her great-aunt Mitzi.

0:12:20 > 0:12:25She used to knit Granny Murray socks for her birthday every year.

0:12:25 > 0:12:30I was wearing my birthday socks this morning and I showed them to her.

0:12:30 > 0:12:34When I got at school, Bobby stopped by with clothes her parents wore.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36They were rather strange.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40At nine o'clock, the school day started,

0:12:40 > 0:12:45and the children imagined how their uniform might look in the future.

0:12:45 > 0:12:51At 12 o'clock, Tina came to class with lots of old-fashioned clothes.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55I was going through the old clothes when Raymond popped in.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58The answer was not very well.

0:12:58 > 0:13:03100 years is a long time to think about and I got rather muddled up.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08Now remember, when I think of the years gone by,

0:13:08 > 0:13:10I think of socks.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15Granny Murray was given socks for her birthday every year.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19If she added them all up, she could find out her age.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23That's given me an idea for showing how the time has gone by.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26But can I do it in time for this afternoon?

0:13:26 > 0:13:28It's a race against time!

0:13:28 > 0:13:30# I gotta do it, I gotta do it

0:13:30 > 0:13:33# I gotta beat the clock before the chime

0:13:33 > 0:13:36# I gotta sort it, I gotta sort it

0:13:36 > 0:13:38# I gotta do the job on time

0:13:38 > 0:13:41# Like a busy bee I'm gonna beat that clock

0:13:41 > 0:13:43# I'm gonna finish this job before I finish this song

0:13:43 > 0:13:46# Do we think he's gonna do it?

0:13:46 > 0:13:48# Do the job that needs to be done

0:13:48 > 0:13:50# Will he know how to fix it?

0:13:50 > 0:13:53# Will he finish what he has begun?

0:13:53 > 0:13:56# We are friends, he'll get there in the end

0:13:56 > 0:13:59- # Because he knows what he should do - I'm gonna do it

0:13:59 > 0:14:00# He's gonna do it!

0:14:00 > 0:14:03# I'm gonna beat the clock before the chime

0:14:03 > 0:14:05- # I'm gonna sort it - He's gonna sort it

0:14:05 > 0:14:07# I'm gonna do the job on time

0:14:07 > 0:14:11# Like a busy bee I'm going to beat that gong

0:14:11 > 0:14:15# I'm going to finish this job before I finish this song. #

0:14:15 > 0:14:18I'm going to tell you about the different clothing

0:14:18 > 0:14:20people have worn over the last 100 years.

0:14:20 > 0:14:25Now, 100 years is a long time. So, to help you think about that,

0:14:25 > 0:14:28I've strung up 100 socks.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Every sock is one year.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34Now, some of you have brothers and sisters who are four.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36So that's, er...

0:14:36 > 0:14:39one, two, three...that's here.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41And some of you are seven...

0:14:41 > 0:14:43which is here.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46And I was born 35 years ago...

0:14:48 > 0:14:49..which is here.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53But I want to take you back all the way down here

0:14:53 > 0:14:57before you and I, or even your grans and grandfathers were born.

0:14:57 > 0:15:03100 years ago, when a country gentleman may have looked like this.

0:15:03 > 0:15:08Good day, sir. Here I am. All ready for a walk in the park...

0:15:08 > 0:15:13100 socks ago... I mean 100 years ago!

0:15:13 > 0:15:14Toodle pip!

0:15:14 > 0:15:16What a jolly man!

0:15:16 > 0:15:21Right, let's go forward a few years to here - 70 years ago today.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25I wonder what sort of clothes people wore then.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27What ho! Anyone for tennis?

0:15:27 > 0:15:30If you were playing tennis 70 years ago,

0:15:30 > 0:15:33you might have worn something like this.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Tally ho!

0:15:35 > 0:15:38Right, let's go forward again to 40 years ago.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42Well, what do you think of this gear, then?

0:15:42 > 0:15:45From 40 socks ago. Ho-ho! I mean years ago.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48Maybe your granddad dressed like this to look smart

0:15:48 > 0:15:52and stand out in a crowd. See you later, mate. Gotta run.

0:15:52 > 0:15:57Right, let's see one more person from the past,

0:15:57 > 0:16:00this time from 30 years ago.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Hello, darlin'!

0:16:02 > 0:16:06- Wow! What a lot of, er...dress! - D'you like it?

0:16:06 > 0:16:10I feel a bit like a clown with different colours.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Tara, darlings!

0:16:12 > 0:16:17What a lot of interesting clothes we've worn over the last 100 years!

0:16:22 > 0:16:25I hope Rebecca's having as much fun as I am.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Oh, Rebecca!

0:16:34 > 0:16:36You look lovely in that bonnet.

0:16:36 > 0:16:41Just think, 100 years ago, all girls your age would wear one of those.

0:16:41 > 0:16:45Och, I wonder what Dad would make of it.

0:16:45 > 0:16:46BELL RINGS

0:16:55 > 0:16:59- Mickey John!- All right, Granny Murray.- Come away through.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01Look who's here, Rebecca.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05- Hello, beautiful girl!- Hello, Daddy. - Have you had a lovely time?

0:17:05 > 0:17:07You bet we have!

0:17:07 > 0:17:12- Say thank you to Granny Murray. - Oh, my big girl! Clever girl!

0:17:12 > 0:17:15Thanks from me too, Granny Murray. Your saying,

0:17:15 > 0:17:20"When I think of the years gone by, I think of socks" saved the day.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Well, it never did!

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Come on, let's get you home.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30- Looking forward to next time. - Me too!

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Come on, let's chat about our time away.

0:17:33 > 0:17:37I suppose you'll want me to tell you all about my time too.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40# Well, there was...

0:17:40 > 0:17:42# Waving, greeting, hello, meeting

0:17:42 > 0:17:44# Waking, dozing, eating, sleeping

0:17:44 > 0:17:46# Singing, swinging, walking, hiding

0:17:46 > 0:17:49# Jumping up and turning round

0:17:49 > 0:17:52# Dressing up and sitting down! #

0:17:53 > 0:17:57But what was really special about today?

0:17:57 > 0:18:00Well, Claude was dressed as my Aunt Mitzi

0:18:00 > 0:18:05because we were looking at what people wore 100 years ago.

0:18:05 > 0:18:10We can see what clothes she wore by looking at an old photograph.

0:18:10 > 0:18:14I told Mickey John all about my favourite auntie.

0:18:14 > 0:18:18She used to knit me socks every year for my birthday.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21Mickey John told me his granny used to do the same for him.

0:18:21 > 0:18:25But there was a hole in his socks because they were old.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27I took the children to a museum

0:18:27 > 0:18:32where we tried to imagine what life was like 100 years ago.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34And Rebecca put on a bonnet

0:18:34 > 0:18:38Mickey John explained to his class about olden times

0:18:38 > 0:18:40by looking at lots of socks.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42I hope you enjoyed yourself.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45Me too! Bye-bye, honey pie!

0:18:45 > 0:18:50# I love to skip in Riverseafingal Riverseafingal by the sea

0:18:50 > 0:18:55# I love to skip in Riverseafingal Riverseafingal, that's for me

0:18:55 > 0:18:57# Come on and get on down to the city

0:18:57 > 0:19:00# Where the ferryboat sails are blue

0:19:00 > 0:19:02# Time to call on Granny Murray

0:19:02 > 0:19:07# She'd love to say goodbye to you! #
