# Maybe - you can never be sure -

# There'll be knock, ring

# Letters through your door

Morning, Mrs Goggins!

There's a lot of parcels today.

Aye, Pat, but it's all art supplies for the school

and a few wee letters.

Art supplies, eh? I always loved art at school.

-Oh, really?

-Yes, but not much call for artists in Greendale.

Och, I don't know.

Don't forget these letters.

-Bye, Pat!

-Cheerio, Mrs Goggins.

Now, as you know, this afternoon,

your mums and dads will be coming to school to look at your work.

THEY GASP

-Morning, Jeff! I've got your art supplies.

-Miaow!

Hello, Pat. You're just in time.

Come on, everyone! Let's take a look and see what we've got.

Ooh!

THEY GASP

Mr Pringle, Mr Pringle! Why don't we do a special picture?

What kind of picture, Sarah?

Like the best thing that's happened to us all year.

Yeah! Or the most fun!

Or the most exciting!

-Fantastic!

-Yeah!

Good idea, Sarah.

-Ooh, what are you going to paint, Sarah?

-It's a secret.

Oh!

Right, come on, everyone, let's get started!

I'll be going, Jeff. See you later.

Hmm...the most exciting thing that happened all year...

I wonder what we'd choose, Jess?

Miaow!

'How about when we got stuck in the woods and had to camp overnight?

'Or that time you got stuck in the runaway kite?'

-Yes, that was exciting, wasn't it?

-Miaow.

Oh, no, that's not right.

-Is everything OK, Sarah?

-No, sir.

My picture keeps going all wrong.

-Well, why not try a different picture?

-How d'you mean?

-Well, the twins are doing a collage.

-Ooh! What's that?

We're sticking things onto the paper to make a picture.

Like cotton wool and things.

This is looking great, you two.

-Is it a picture of you sledging?

-That's right, sir!

The most exciting thing was when Pat rescued us from the ice.

'We were sledging, and our sledge went too far.

-'I was really scared.

-Me, too.

'But then Pat came to rescue us.

'He was really brave.'

Thank goodness for Pat!

-So our picture is about that.

-But I don't know what to use for the pond.

How about this paper? It's all shimmery, like water.

That's perfect! Thanks, Sarah!

I think you're right, sir.

Maybe a collage would be good.

THEY GIGGLE

-Morning, Reverend!

-Oh, good morning, Pat!

Miaow!

-Miaow!

-There we go.

My! Is this all the post?

Yes, it's very quiet today.

Tell me, Reverend, what did you like best about last year?

Hmm...well...I...really don't know.

'I enjoyed playing the music for the circus.'

-That WAS fun.

-Yes, wasn't it?

Come on, Jess, stop playing with that bird.

-Bye, Reverend!

-Bye, Pat!

Miaow!

Stupid collage!

-Everything all right, Sarah?

-No, sir!

I don't know what to draw!

Oh, I'm sure it's not that bad.

'Tis!

Why not think about something that makes you happy and paint that?

I mean, look at Bill!

I'm doing a picture of when me and Pat were clowns.

'It were really exciting.

'Everybody came to see us.

'And being clowns were brilliant.'

I want to be a clown when I grow up.

I'm not surprised - you were very funny!

Oh, no!

I've run out of purple!

I can't finish it now!

We can make purple.

All you need is some red paint...

and some blue...

mix them together...

and there you go - purple!

That's brilliant, Sarah! Thanks!

Oops!

Ugh...

Morning, Ajay!

Hello, Nisha. Here's your post.

-Thanks, Pat.

-Hello, Pat! Busy day?

No, I've hardly delivered anything except art supplies for the school.

The children are drawing the best thing that's happened this year.

-I know what Meera will draw.

-Me too.

BOTH: Our new house.

The children are so happy since we moved here.

We all are. Aren't we, Nikhil?

-Ar!

-Yes, that was definitely a good day.

-I'm still trying to decide what I'd choose.

-It's easy!

-It's the Greendale Rocket every time. Isn't it, love?

-Yes, Ajay.

You and that train!

Well, I'd better get on. Bye, everyone!

-Bye, Pat!

-Bye, Pat!

Hello, what's this?

"Kids art supplies, Greendale Primary School, Greendale"?

Oops! Looks like I've missed a parcel for the school.

I'd better take it over right now.

Not much time left now.

Start finishing your pictures.

Is that the Greendale Rocket?

Yeah, it's my favourite thing!

Really? Why?

-Well, because

-I

-found her!

'And I helped to paint the station.

'And best of all, I got to drive her.'

TOOT-TOOT!

But there's something missing.

I know what. You need smoke.

Cool! Thanks, Sarah!

Come on, it's packing-up time!

Bring your pictures over here if they're finished.

I haven't even started.

Well done, everyone!

These are really excellent.

Sarah helped, sir! I wouldn't have been able to finish it without her.

-She helped us, too, sir!

-Did she?

Well done, Sarah!

You've been very helpful today.

-Hello, everyone.

-Hello, Pat.

-Back again?

-Yes, I found another parcel for you in the van.

-Here you are.

-My hands are full. Can you unwrap it for us, Sarah?

It's felt-tip pens, sir!

In shiny colours!

Those are grand! You could make a lovely picture using those, Sarah.

Hmm...spots.

I think I've got an idea, sir.

Looks like that's done the trick.

Poor Sarah's been wondering what to paint all day.

Ho-ho! Goodness me, Charlie! What's that?

It's the Greendale Bubble Monster.

Oh, how could I forget?

'I've always wanted to see men from outer space.

'And then, when we saw one, it was brilliant!

'Except it turned out to be Ted.'

Ho-ho! Poor old Ted.

I don't think he liked being the Bubble Monster much.

I think I'VE had an idea for a painting.

You don't mind, do you, Jeff?

No, Pat, be my guest.

Here you are, sir! I've finished!

Goodness me, Sarah, that was quick!

Let's have a look.

This looks like everyone's got chicken pox.

-That's right, sir.

-Well...I don't understand.

How can that be your favourite time?

Well, you said I was helpful,

and I liked chicken pox best because I helped people.

Don't forget to gargle!

Gl-gl-gl-gl-gl!

Sarah Gilbertson says, "Don't forget to gargle."

Sarah Gilbertson says, "Don't forget to gargle."

Gl-gl-gl-gl-gl!

Gl-gl-gl-gl-gl!

Gl-gl-gl-gl-gl!

And everyone got better.

I'll be a doctor when I grow up, like Mum.

Well done, Sarah!

Right, everyone, home time! See you all later with your parents.

-Bye-bye, sir!

-Bye-bye, sir!

Can I go and play at Meera's, Dad?

-Yes, course you can. I'll pick you up later.

-Thanks, Dad! Bye!

-Bye!

-Don't worry about that.

-You sure, Pat?

Yes, I've got an idea.

Well, OK, then. See you later, Pat.

Miaow!

Bye, Jeff!

Miaow! Miaow!

Welcome to parents' evening.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the children's work.

-Where are the paintings we did today? I want to show Mum.

-Me, too.

Well, I'm not quite sure.

I can explain, Jeff. I spent a lot of time today

thinking of what would be MY favourite thing in Greendale.

And then I realised.

THEY GASP

Wow! That's my painting!

And my Rocket picture!

Blow me!

But what's it supposed to be?

It's a map of Greendale, with all the pictures everyone did today.

I don't understand, Pat.

This is MY perfect painting.

A painting of Greendale.

Oh!
