House Move My First

Meow!

Bah!

Oink! Oink!

Moo!

This is Thomas and he is three years old.

-That's the hill?

-Yeah, that's the hill.

-Right, down here?

-Yeah.

-OK.

Thomas likes to play in the garden with his dad.

HE GIGGLES

-I'm coming!

-Are you coming?

Today, Thomas is going to do something new for the first time.

But what will that be?

Well done, high-five.

Well done.

This is Thomas's memory box.

It helps him remember all the exciting things that have happened.

See if you can spot what goes in it today.

-Do you think you can get another one in?

-Yes.

-I wonder what all those carrots are for.

-Excellent, well done.

-You ready?

-Yeah.

-Here we go!

WHIRRING

Ah, I see!

You're making carrot juice!

Mmm.

Dad has something big to tell you, Thomas.

Delicious.

Delicious.

Today we're going to go and look at some new houses.

Oh, can I come?

Yes, you can come.

And do you think we could make some juice in our new kitchen?

Yeah?

So, after lunch, we're going to go to the estate agent's

and we're going to go and look at some houses.

Wow, Thomas, you're moving house!

People move house for lots of reasons.

Moving to a new house is a big job!

First, you need to find a new place to live,

everything needs to be packed up in a removal van

and moved to the new house.

What type of house do you think Thomas will move to?

Thomas and Dad have come to the estate agent's.

The estate agent's can help you find the right house to live in.

Let's go inside and have a look.

-Hi, good afternoon.

-Me and Thomas need a three-bedroom house.

-Can you help?

-I'll just get a few details up for you.

Excellent, thank you.

So, we want something that Thomas is going to like as well?

We're looking for a bedroom for Thomas and we need a garage

and we need a nice kitchen cos we like to make juice.

Oh, fantastic. Let's have a look. I'll just take a look at this one

cos it's in a really nice area, which I'm sure Thomas would love.

-Ooh.

-OK.

-Let's have a look.

Wow, look at that. Do you like that?

-Here are the brochures.

-Thank you, and these are all three-bedroom?

-They are, yes.

-And can we look at them today?

-Certainly. Let's go.

Here is the first house to look at.

-There you are, Thomas.

-Thank you.

-Let's go in the front room first.

-Let's go in the front room.

Could this be your playroom?

Let's look upstairs.

Oh, this is a nice bedroom, isn't it?

-Who's this bedroom?

-Do you think this could be Daddy's bedroom?

This would make a good room for you, Dad.

What's bedroom is this?

This is bedroom number two.

Let's go look at another house. I don't think this is the one for me.

-OK, let's go to the next.

-This isn't the house for Thomas

as it's a two-bedroom and he needs a three-bedroom

for family to stay over.

Will this be your new house, Thomas?

I think you've run past it, I think it's here.

Wow.

I think this can be your bedroom.

What colour do you think we can paint the walls?

-Red.

-Red. OK.

And where can your bed go?

-Here?

-Nope, here.

Where shall we put your bed? Show me where we can put your bed.

-There.

-Right there, OK.

-Right up to the top.

-Right up to the top.

Looks like Thomas has chosen his new bedroom.

Do we like this house?

Let's shout, "Hooray!"

-You want to shout hooray cos you really like this house.

-Yeah.

-Ready?

One, two, three.

-BOTH:

-Hooray!

I think this might be the house for you!

The first thing to go into Thomas's memory box is his new house.

Back at Thomas's old house, there are jobs to be done.

Where is he?

Thomas, where are you?

Oh, what's this box doing here?

Where's Thomas?

Where is he?

Is he behind here?

No.

Is he in his bed?

Nope.

Oh, what's that noise?

There you are!

Hello.

Nice trick, Thomas, but now I think it's time to start

to pack your things for the big move.

I'll put this big teddy in.

OK.

Oh!

Are you going to say, "Bye-bye, Teddy, see you at the new house"?

-And who else can go in the space rocket?

-This.

-Do you think he'll fit?

-Let's see.

I think it could be too big to fit in that box!

Push him in! Oh, no, he's not going to fit.

-Yes, he is.

-Do you think so?

-Yes!

What about his head?

He can't blast off with his head sticking out!

Are they going to blast off?

Yeah, they're going to blast off to the new house,

but we have to help them blast off.

That box is going in your new room,

so we need to put it with all of the other boxes.

Wow, you're strong, Thomas, lifting that box!

The second thing into the memory box is the cardboard box for moving.

Thomas is helping Dad load up the removal van.

There we go.

Now, I'm going to lift you in and what I want you to do is

I want you to push that box all the way to the back.

Go!

How many boxes are left, Thomas?

-One.

-One, two, three.

Right, which one are we taking to the truck?

-That one.

-This one.

Oh! That's so strong!

Let's go.

What a great help you are!

Nearly done now.

Uh, where's Dad gone?

Come on, Dad, stop hiding! Get back to work!

Found you!

Oh, well done!

All your packing is done!

We're all done, Thomas.

Your bedroom's empty.

Right, Thomas, let's lock the house.

Say goodbye to the old house.

-Bye.

-Bye! Let's get in the truck and go to the new house. Come on!

Look at our new house!

Look at the balloons!

We've got balloons outside our new house!

That looks fun, Thomas, it's your new house!

Wow, look at all those balloons!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!

-Brilliant. Are we to go inside?

-Yes!

Where's the handle?

There's the handle.

OK, push our way through this paper like a big present.

Push our way through the paper like a big present!

There we go, in we go!

Yay! Here we are at our new house.

It's time to unload the removal van.

I want you to get the suitcase.

-You'll come in with me.

-No, you get that suitcase for me, please.

It's hard work moving house!

That's it. Thank you.

I'm going to push it down for you.

OK, go on, then.

Ha-ha, got it!

Right, come on, are you going to wheel it in for me?

In goes your first bag.

The third thing into the memory box is the removal van.

It looks like you're being a big help for Dad on this move.

-Are you taking that to your bedroom?

-Yes.

That's it.

-Where?

-Just put it on the floor.

We'll find space for it later on.

Thank you.

It can feel strange moving into a new house as things look different,

but once you put your bed and toys

and other belongings in, it starts to feel more and more like home.

You know what? We've not put your pictures up yet.

-Oh.

-Do you want me to put them up quickly?

-Yes.

-I want to hang both.

-You want to hang both of them?

Which one first, this one?

That's it, well done.

OK, let's do this one.

Up go your pictures.

Oh, that's not straight!

There we go.

Are you taking a picture of your new bedroom?

Smile!

Oh, that's a good photo, well done.

Wow, they're excellent photographs.

It looks like you've settled in now, Thomas.

The fourth thing to go into the memory box is the pirate picture.

And one of the fun things about moving is there's loads of

new places to explore.

I can't see you, where are you?

I can hear you! Are you inside that tunnel?

THOMAS GIGGLES

I'm going to come and find you. Quick!

It looks like your new house is going to be lots of fun!

Today, Thomas moved house.

Do you remember what happened? Let's have a look in the memory box.

First, Thomas found out he was moving house

and went to look at new houses.

Next, he started to pack up his bedroom in boxes.

Then, Thomas helped Dad move using the removal van.

Finally, Thomas settled into his room by unpacking his things.

Today, Thomas has moved house.

There is a first time for everything!
