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

0:00:22 > 0:00:25# Come on, let's weave round the market
0:00:25 > 0:00:27# Do you hear the hullabaloo?

0:00:30 > 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

0:00:41 > 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

0:00:52 > 0:00:55- # Let me ting that bell - Ding, ding!
0:00:55 > 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.
0:01:16 > 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 > 0:01:49Who's here today? Well, we've got Molly and Hope.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Don't just sit there, my wee cherubs, come on, let's get busy!
0:01:54 > 0:01:57What do you see, Molly? Today, we need to invent a gadget
0:01:57 > 0:02:00that can store some of those toys.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Oh, good girl.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Oh, that's a nice shape. Right, let's get the toys!
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Bring them all over.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11There you go, Ted.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14That's it. Good girl.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Maybe some smaller ones further up.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Well! We've got Hope and we've got Molly
0:02:22 > 0:02:25but someone's missing from home today.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Oh, not any more!
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Who's coming home to Granny Murray?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Oh, it's Rebecca, with Mickey John.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Hello there!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Mickey John! Hello! - Hello, my darling.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40And Rebecca!
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Looks like construction work here. What's happening?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49It's a new gadget we've invented
0:02:49 > 0:02:52so all the toys can stay together.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56The larger ones round the bottom, smaller ones to the top.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Looks like the sort of thing the pharaohs of Egypt
0:02:59 > 0:03:02would have invented. Like a pyramid.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04It does look like a pyramid.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Now Rebecca's here we'll dress Claude up
0:03:07 > 0:03:10as a pharaoh of Ancient Egypt!
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Why don't we do a sun dance up the Nile to your chairs?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Oh, I dare say!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Will we see some pharaohs at the museum?
0:03:21 > 0:03:22You going there?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Yes, of course we are, silly sausage!
0:03:25 > 0:03:28You said you were going to write some notes for us.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32That's right, I made several notes. Where did I put them?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Ah! Notes on ancient gadgets.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Oh! How exciting. - No, these are for my class later.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Oh, maybe we'll see some ancient gadgets at the museum.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Oh, you must. I love gadgets!
0:03:48 > 0:03:53Now, is it true that the Romans built drains thousands of years ago?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Yes, they were very good at plumbing.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I must remember that the next time I flush my toilet!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Yes, and I must remember to tell my class.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- Oh, don't muddle your notes up. - Oh, no,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- I know just the place to put it. - Oh!
0:04:09 > 0:04:12The Greeks and the Romans and the Egyptians
0:04:12 > 0:04:15might have invented great gadgets,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- but do you know what my old boss used to say?- Tell me!
0:04:18 > 0:04:22He used to say one of the best gadgets of all time
0:04:22 > 0:04:23is the bulldog clip.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25The bulldog clip? What's that?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28A machine for cutting a bulldog's hair?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30No! One of these!
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I keep them away from little fingers
0:04:33 > 0:04:37but they're very useful for clipping all my paper together.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Oh! Very nifty.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Yes... - You can keep that one, I've plenty.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Thank you, Granny Murray.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Will you look at Claude? He's all pharaoh'd up.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Oh, you look very royal, Claude.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Oh, yes, a right royal pharaoh. Well done, my darlings.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Well, I better be off.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- Bye-bye.- Goodbye, Daddy. - Have fun at the museum.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Come on, you.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10Remember, one of the best gadgets of all time is the bulldog clip.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Thank you, I'll see you later.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- We'll be thinking of you!- Me, too!

0:05:19 > 0:05:22make sure he goes the right way to work.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29I don't have much time. How can I speed across the river to work?
0:05:29 > 0:05:30PARP! PARP!
0:05:30 > 0:05:32That's right, thanks!

0:05:50 > 0:05:53# Whining, whining, whining drives the speed up
0:05:53 > 0:05:55# Chugga, chugga, chugga slows us down.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57# Rocking, rocking, rocking to the dock

0:07:01 > 0:07:03- for my class. - Well in that case,
0:07:03 > 0:07:07you must tell them the most amazing ancient gadget was a tree trunk.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Fascinating! I must note that.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14In Ancient Egypt, when they used to build those pyramids,
0:07:14 > 0:07:18they would move the blocks of stone by rolling them on a tree trunk.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Clever chaps.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22This is a clever gadget. Fancy a swap?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- What have you got? - Look at this.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27HE CLICKS FINGERS
0:07:28 > 0:07:30HE CLICKS FINGERS

0:07:38 > 0:07:40What a great gadget.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I must show it to Rebecca.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04so you can remember to look out for lots of things.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05So, what's this?

0:12:15 > 0:12:18Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Oh, dear.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Where shall I begin?
0:12:35 > 0:12:39I've been planning this lesson for days and it's a mess!
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Everything's on these papers but they're in such a muddle.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I can't make sense of it. Where did the time go?
0:12:46 > 0:12:47BONG!
0:12:47 > 0:12:50At 7 o'clock, I dropped Rebecca at Granny Murray's.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54The children had made a brilliant gadget for their toys.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58I said it looked like a pyramid so they dressed up Claude
0:12:58 > 0:12:59as a pharaoh.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04Granny Murray reminded me she was taking the children to the museum
0:13:04 > 0:13:08and that I had promised to make some notes of things to look for.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I couldn't find it but I found one about gadgets
0:13:11 > 0:13:13I'd prepared for my class.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14BONG!
0:13:14 > 0:13:16At 8 o'clock I was ready to work
0:13:16 > 0:13:19when a mouse rolled into my classroom.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Raymond showed me it wasn't a mouse but a gadget.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23BONG!
0:13:23 > 0:13:26At 9 o'clock, the children were ready to work.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I wanted to teach them about ancient gadgets
0:13:29 > 0:13:31but I couldn't find the notes.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32BONG!
0:13:32 > 0:13:35At 1 o'clock, the children came back from lunch.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Everything was ready for my lesson on gadgets.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41But I still couldn't find my list.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I've got so many pieces of paper but I can never find
0:13:44 > 0:13:45the one I want.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I need to get organised!
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Remember, one of the best gadgets of all time
0:13:50 > 0:13:53is the bulldog clip!
0:13:54 > 0:13:57One of the best gadgets of all time is the bulldog clip.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00That's just what I need! A bulldog clip.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04To sort out my papers so I can teach the class in an organised way.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06It's a race against time!
0:14:06 > 0:14:08# I've got to do it I've got to do it
0:14:08 > 0:14:11# I've got to beat the clock before the chime
0:14:11 > 0:14:13# I've got to sort it I've got to sort it
0:14:13 > 0:14:15# I've got to do the job on time
0:14:15 > 0:14:18# Like a busy bee I'm going to beat that bong
0:14:18 > 0:14:21# I'm going to finish this job before I finish this song
0:14:21 > 0:14:23# Do we think he's going to do it?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26# Do the job that needs to be done?
