# 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 these people busy working

-# I want to see what they all do

-Me, too

# Come on, let's weave round 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.

# Time to call on Granny Murray

# She'd love to say hello to you! #

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 Molly and Hope.

Don't just sit there, my wee cherubs, come on, let's get busy!

What do you see, Molly? Today, we need to invent a gadget

that can store some of those toys.

Oh, good girl.

Oh, that's a nice shape. Right, let's get the toys!

Bring them all over.

There you go, Ted.

That's it. Good girl.

Maybe some smaller ones further up.

Well! We've got Hope and we've got Molly

but someone's missing from home today.

Oh, not any more!

Who's coming home to Granny Murray?

Oh, it's Rebecca, with Mickey John.

Hello there!

-Mickey John! Hello!

-Hello, my darling.

And Rebecca!

Looks like construction work here. What's happening?

It's a new gadget we've invented

so all the toys can stay together.

The larger ones round the bottom, smaller ones to the top.

Looks like the sort of thing the pharaohs of Egypt

would have invented. Like a pyramid.

It does look like a pyramid.

Now Rebecca's here we'll dress Claude up

as a pharaoh of Ancient Egypt!

Why don't we do a sun dance up the Nile to your chairs?

Oh, I dare say!

Will we see some pharaohs at the museum?

You going there?

Yes, of course we are, silly sausage!

You said you were going to write some notes for us.

That's right, I made several notes. Where did I put them?

Ah! Notes on ancient gadgets.

-Oh! How exciting.

-No, these are for my class later.

Oh, maybe we'll see some ancient gadgets at the museum.

Oh, you must. I love gadgets!

Now, is it true that the Romans built drains thousands of years ago?

Yes, they were very good at plumbing.

I must remember that the next time I flush my toilet!

Yes, and I must remember to tell my class.

-Oh, don't muddle your notes up.

-Oh, no,

-I know just the place to put it.

-Oh!

The Greeks and the Romans and the Egyptians

might have invented great gadgets,

-but do you know what my old boss used to say?

-Tell me!

He used to say one of the best gadgets of all time

is the bulldog clip.

The bulldog clip? What's that?

A machine for cutting a bulldog's hair?

No! One of these!

I keep them away from little fingers

but they're very useful for clipping all my paper together.

Oh! Very nifty.

-Yes...

-You can keep that one, I've plenty.

Thank you, Granny Murray.

Will you look at Claude? He's all pharaoh'd up.

Oh, you look very royal, Claude.

Oh, yes, a right royal pharaoh. Well done, my darlings.

Well, I better be off.

-Bye-bye.

-Goodbye, Daddy.

-Have fun at the museum.

Come on, you.

Remember, one of the best gadgets of all time is the bulldog clip.

Thank you, I'll see you later.

-We'll be thinking of you!

-Me, too!

You keep a wee eye on Mickey John,

make sure he goes the right way to work.

I don't have much time. How can I speed across the river to work?

PARP! PARP!

That's right, thanks!

# I'm in, in, in, in, in a hurry

# I nee, nee, nee, need to speed to work

# I take a ticket, ticket on a speedboat

# I'll be, be, be, be, be, be there quite quick.

# Hurry, hurry, hurry down the river

# Splashing, splashing, splashing through the waves

# Whining, whining, whining drives the speed up

# Chugga, chugga, chugga slows us down.

# Rocking, rocking, rocking to the dock

# Go splashing, splashing to our stop!

# I'm in, in, in, in, in a hurry

# I nee, nee, nee, need to speed to work

# I'm in, in, in, in, in a hurry! #

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

And hurry, hurry, hurry, put my tie on.

All dressed and ready to go.

Oh, I better clean the board before the children get here.

SQUEAKS

HE YELPS

HE SHRIEKS!

-Hi, Mickey John!

-Oh! It's a mouse!

-What you doing up there?

-The mouse there! Look!

It's not a real mouse. It's a gadget I bought.

Oh...

Silly me.

-You know, gadgets really fascinate me.

-Me, too!

So much so I'm planning a lesson on gadgets through the ages

-for my class.

-Well in that case,

you must tell them the most amazing ancient gadget was a tree trunk.

Fascinating! I must note that.

In Ancient Egypt, when they used to build those pyramids,

they would move the blocks of stone by rolling them on a tree trunk.

Clever chaps.

This is a clever gadget. Fancy a swap?

-What have you got?

-Look at this.

HE CLICKS FINGERS

HE CLICKS FINGERS

That's a cool swap. Cheers!

-See you later.

-Bye, Raymond.

What a great gadget.

I must show it to Rebecca.

I wonder how you're getting on?

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal Riverseafingal by the sea

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal Riverseafingal that's for me. #

When you go to a museum, it's a good idea to take a list with you

so you can remember to look out for lots of things.

So, what's this?

-TOGETHER:

-A clock!

A clock!

So I'll stick this on and when I go to the museum,

I'll look out for...clocks!

What about this?

-TOGETHER:

-A mummy!

-Your mummy?

We've to look for your mummy at the museum? She's not that old!

It's an Egyptian mummy, that's right.

So we'll stick it on here, there we are.

BELL RINGS

Are you having fun, Daddy?

Oh!

Here come my class.

I'd better put you away.

Good morning. Today, we'll talk about people who lived a LONG time ago.

The Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans.

These people loved gadgets and so do I.

So, I'm going to tell you about... hang on.

-"Don't forget to put your underpants in the laundry!"

-What's going on?

Oh...well, that's not right. Hang on a minute.

Today I'm going to tell you about "one box of muesli

"and don't forget the sausages!"

Well, we'll talk about gadgets later.

It's time for me to get down to some hard work.

Today I'm going to be telling you about...

"Exercises for the day. Side bends and star jumps!"

Hang on, we're going to talk about gadgets.

BELL RINGS

There's the bell, off you go.

Time to prepare for this afternoon's lesson.

Ah, just the job.

I wonder how you're getting on, my little Queen of the Nile.

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal Riverseafingal that's for me! #

Look, Granny Murray, there's a mummy!

A mummy just like on our list, well done!

Would you look at some of the paintings!

They're thousands of years old.

Your daddy would love it here, Rebecca.

I'm thinking of you, Daddy!

Come in, settle down.

All right?

It's time for the most exciting part of the day.

I'm going to tell you about people who lived in ancient times.

Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.

I'm going to tell you the exciting inventions they came up with.

Now...hang on a minute.

Oh, that's not it.

Oh...

Ah, where shall I start?

Oh, dear.

Where shall I begin?

I've been planning this lesson for days and it's a mess!

Everything's on these papers but they're in such a muddle.

I can't make sense of it. Where did the time go?

BONG!

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

The children had made a brilliant gadget for their toys.

I said it looked like a pyramid so they dressed up Claude

as a pharaoh.

Granny Murray reminded me she was taking the children to the museum

and that I had promised to make some notes of things to look for.

I couldn't find it but I found one about gadgets

I'd prepared for my class.

BONG!

At 8 o'clock I was ready to work

when a mouse rolled into my classroom.

Raymond showed me it wasn't a mouse but a gadget.

BONG!

At 9 o'clock, the children were ready to work.

I wanted to teach them about ancient gadgets

but I couldn't find the notes.

BONG!

At 1 o'clock, the children came back from lunch.

Everything was ready for my lesson on gadgets.

But I still couldn't find my list.

I've got so many pieces of paper but I can never find

the one I want.

I need to get organised!

Remember, one of the best gadgets of all time

is the bulldog clip!

One of the best gadgets of all time is the bulldog clip.

That's just what I need! A bulldog clip.

To sort out my papers so I can teach the class in an organised way.

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 going to beat that bong

# I'm going to finish this job before I finish this song

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

# Do the job that needs to be done?

# Will he know how to fix it?

# Will he finish what he has begun?

# Yes, we're sure that he'll get there in the end

# Cos he knows what he should do

-# I'm going to do it

-He's going to do it

# I'm going to beat the clock before the chime

-# I'm going to sort it

-He's going to sort it

# I'm going to do the job on time

# Like a busy bee I'm going to beat that bong

# I'm going to finish this job

# Before I finish this song. #

Right then, now that I've got my bulldog clip,

I can tell you about all the other gadgets.

Right, the pyramids.

Like this. They were made from big blocks of stone.

The Ancient Egyptians used lots of wood to roll the stones

to the pyramid. Like that.

It's a great gadget, isn't it?

Right...

The Ancient Greeks had a gadget for pumping water.

The Archimedes' screw.

Oh yes, now here's a more recent gadget from about 100 years ago.

The steam engine.

Chug-chug-chug-chug. Woo-woo!

Now...mouse.

Oh yes, this is a more modern gadget

but it's fun. Don't worry, it's not a real mouse.

Here we go...

IT SQUEAKS

Oh!

I wonder how you're getting on at the museum, Rebecca.

We had to look for clocks on our list, darlings.

You'll not see a better clock than that.

That's called the Millennium Clock.

It's fabulous, isn't it?

What do you see on it?

-A skeleton!

-Oh, spooky!

We better head back, your dad will be home before us!

BELL RINGS

-Mickey John!

-Granny Murray!

Come away through!

Rebecca, Daddy's here!

-Hello, beautiful girl.

-Hello, Daddy.

-Looks like you had a lovely time.

-Yeah!

We certainly did. It was a pleasure.

-Thank you, Granny Murray.

-Oh, my special girl!

You're good as gold.

It's thanks from me, too, your saying one of the best gadgets

is the bulldog clip saved the day.

I'm glad to hear it!

Come on, you two. Home!

-Looking forward to next time!

-Me, too!

Let's chat about our time away.

I suppose you want me to tell you all about my time, too.

# Well, there was waving, greeting Hello, meeting

# Bye-bye, closing Waking, dozing

# Eating, sleeping Fetching, sketching

# Painting, stretching, Gluing, chewing

# Picking up and wiping round

# Dressing up and sitting down! #

But what was really special about today?

Well, Claude was dressed as an Egyptian pharaoh

because we were going to the museum.

The children made a gadget out of boxes for the toys

that looked like a pyramid.

Later on, the children and I made an I-spy card

for things to look out for at the museum.

When we got to the museum, we had great fun looking at

the old things from Ancient Egypt.

The best thing of all was the Millennium Clock.

We could have watched it for hours!

When Mickey John came,

he told me he had remembered that I told him

one of the best gadgets of all time is the bulldog clip.

And it saved the day!

Mickey John left me this for Rebecca to play with!

Do you like gadgets? Me, too!

Bye bye, honey-pie!
