-Hello!

-Hello!

-BOTH: It's us!

-Topsy...

-And Tim!

THEY GIGGLE

It's the start of the weekend...

And we are going camping.

Mummy!

'We're in Year One at Hatcham Primary...

'And it's Friday.'

-How are you two doing?

-Great!

Dad's around the corner.

-Are we ready to go camping? BOTH:

-Yes!

'We're off on our weekend adventure.'

Topsy and Tim!

We are going...

ALL: Camping!

-OK, in the car! Topsy, you first.

-Oh, OK.

-There you go.

-# We're...

-Going...

# BOTH: Camping!

# We're...

MUM AND DAD: # Going...

ALL: # Camping! #

Camping!

Are you OK, Topsy?

I feel sick.

-Oh, OK, I'll open the window.

-Mummy, I need a wee already.

-OK.

I'll pull over at the next petrol station.

-OK.

-Oh, what are you two like?

'When we stop, Tim has a wee and I get some fresh air,

'and we both change out of our school uniform.'

'And we're on our way.'

I think we're nearly there. It's got two tents on a sign.

Well spotted, yes. MUM LAUGHS

-Oh, yeah.

-I saw it first!

-Oh! Why do you always see it first?

MUM: Oh, we're here!

TOPSY AND TIM: We're here! We're here! We're here!

'We love camping at Field House Farm.'

Oh, look, is that Kerry?

Yes, it is, it's Kerry, Dad, look!

-Oh!

-Hi, Kerry!

-They beat us!!

CAR HORN TOOTS

Hi! Hello! We made it!

'Kerry and her mum and dad are camping with us this weekend.'

- Hi! - Hello, Kerry.

It's lovely to see you.

Here you go, darling, out you come.

-Hi, Kerry.

-Hi, best friends!

Right...I'm going to go

and say hello to Mr and Mrs Wilkins in the farmhouse.

Who wants to join me?

-Me! Wait, Dad, don't go yet!

-Me too, me too!

Yes, good. Topsy?

Do you want to come?

-Topsy, are you feeling poorly?

-I've got a tummy ache, Mummy.

Stay in the car, I'll put up the tent, and I'll get a blanket.

I'll snuggle you up all nice and cosy.

-KERRY: I'm staying with Topsy.

-Then it's me and you to get

milk and eggs from the farmhouse, and then get a nice campfire going!

OK!

-Can we make an omelette?

-Yeah, what would you like in your omelette?

'Mr and Mrs Wilkins own the campsite.

'They live in this big farmhouse.'

-'They're really nice. Mrs Wilkins is a doctor.'

-Hello?

-Hello?

They're here!

-Oh, hello, Brian. It's lovely to see you.

-Hello. Nice to see you.

Look at you, Tim! Haven't you grown?! Where's Topsy?

She has a bit of a tummy ache.

-Oh, poor thing.

-Oh, is Monty here?

The old fellow's in his basket, as per usual. Come on.

Hello, Monty.

-You'll want eggs and milk, won't you?

-You read my mind!

-We came back!

-Oh, there we go.

-Hello, Tim.

-Hi, Mr Wilkins.

-Oh, lovely. Thanks, Mr Wilkins.

-Lovely to have you back.

-Lovely to be back. Tim, time to go.

-Oh. Bye, Mr Wilkins.

Bye-bye, Monty.

Oh, it is lovely to have you back here at Field House Farm.

You have a wonderful stay.

And don't forget, if you need anything, please just come and knock.

-We will.

-Thanks, we will.

-Thanks, goodbye.

-Look at those!

-Eggs. Is that by the chicken over there?

Those eggs are from those chickens.

'When dad and I get back to the tents,

'we see that Topsy is feeling better.

'She's drawn a family of faces on our now muddy car with Kerry.'

Look what we've done been doing!

No! No more drawing on the car, thank you.

-CHILDREN: Oh!

-Oh!

Topsy, Kerry, please could you wash your hands?

There's a tap just over there with some soap.

Go and wash your hands, then we'll look for some

dry firewood to make a campfire.

# Singing ai, ai, ippy, ippy, ai... #

'We collect enough sticks, not just for our first night,

'but for our second night too.'

'And here we are, drinking hot chocolate

'and singing our favourite campfire song.'

# Ai, ai, ippy, ippy, ai. # THEY CLAP

Who fancies some marshmallows, then?

THE CHILDREN SHOUT AT ONCE

Would you like some marshmallows?

No, my tummy pain's here now. It really hurts.

-Oh, Topsy. All right.

-Ow!

-Oh!

OK, Topsy, let's get you into the tent for a lie down. Good girl.

-Still poorly?

-Yes.

-I think I'd better have a word with Mrs Wilkins.

She's a doctor.

-Oh, Dad...

-Yeah?

-can I come?

-Yeah.

-I can hold the torch.

-I hope we didn't interrupt your supper.

-No.

'Dad and I go and see Mrs Wilkins.

'She comes back with us to check on Topsy.'

Hello, Topsy. So, you're not well?

Can I just can I just touch?

-It feels really sore.

-Oh, all right, love.

Right, it could be a number of things,

but I think it might be appendicitis.

So, Mrs Wilkins, she said that Topsy might have something called ap...

-..appendy..appy...

-Appendicitis?

-Yes. Yes. Appendicitis. I think so, yes.

-Oh, poor thing.

That's not nice, is it?

Don't worry, though. It'll all be fine, OK?

Mrs Wilkins thinks that it would be best if I take Topsy to hospital,

so that's what I'm going to do, OK?

Tim, will you stay with Dad?

-OK.

-OK.

-Good boy.

-There's nothing to worry about.

She's going to be fine. We just need to go to hospital,

-then they can check it all out. It's the best place for her.

-OK.

Bye, Topsy.

-Bye, Tim.

-Into the car, darling.

-OK, bye.

Topsy is going to the best place to make herself better, OK.

-OK.

-All right, good boy. We'll see you in a bit.

Right, let's get you out. We're here at Belfield Hospital.

There's my good girl, nice and gentle.

All right, here you go. Good girl.

Walk this way for me. Straight ahead at Belfield Hospital.

-Dad?

-Yeah.

-Can you just tell me what will happen to Topsy again?

OK. So, the hospital doctor will examine her and, if she does have a

poorly appendix, a special doctor, called a surgeon,

will operate on Topsy, and take the appendix out.

And she won't feel anything.

OK?

-OK. Good.

-Right, let's get some sleep.

Dad, I can't sleep...

because I really miss Mummy and I really miss Topsy.

-Can we just call her?

-OK, Hang on.

-There's no signal at the campsite.

-Oh, no!

I'm sorry, Tim.

But Mrs Wilkins said that we could knock on her door

if we needed anything.

-I'm sure they'd have lots of connection.

-Good idea.

Let's get your wellies on.

How is she?

'Dad talked to Mummy on Mr and Mrs Wilkins' phone.'

OK. Aw, I bet she did.

OK, well, look, you try and get some sleep.

Give Topsy a big kiss from Tim and I.

All right. Bye, love. Take care.

Now, listen, Tim. Topsy is going to be absolutely fine.

You were right, it's appendicitis.

They'll take care of Topsy in hospital

-and now I think you two need to get some sleep.

-Yes.

-OK, night, Mr Wilkins, thank you.

-Good night.

-Good night, Mr Wilkins.

-Night, Mrs Wilkins.

-Night, love.

-Sleep well.

-Thank you for letting us use your phone.

Not a problem, any time.

-Did you get any sleep last night?

-Yes.

'Next morning, we speak to Mummy at the hospital.'

Our Topsy's doing well after her operation.

She just needs to rest and get better now.

And how are you, my twin-tabulous Tim?

-I'm great. Look, look, look. Here!

-There you go. Show Mummy.

-Look!

-Oh, wow! Did Mr Wilkins cook it?

-Yeah.

We're having a big breakfast. Look. Hi!

Oh, hi, everyone! Hi!

Oh, Topsy is waking up. Would you like to talk to her?

Oh, yes, please.

Hello.

-Hiya.

-Let everyone see Topsy.

-Look.

-It's Topsy.

I think she's just woken up, hasn't she?

-Oh, you look so sleepy.

-I'm tired...

But I don't have any tummy aches now.

'And that's when Tim said...'

I miss you, Topsy.

Dad, can we visit the hospital? I really miss Topsy.

Let's pack the tents and Carson will drive us home.

And we'll come and see you soon, twin-tastic Topsy!

-We'd like that!

-Bye!

-Everyone, say bye!

-ALL: Bye!

'And that, said Dad, was that.'

-BOTH: Hello.

-Are you good at remembering?

Can you remember what happened to us today?

-This is our Topsy and Tim memory game.

-Let's play.

Today, we went camping. Can you remember what musical

instrument Dad played around the campfire?

Was it a guitar?

Or was it a trumpet?

The answer is behind the jigsaw piece.

Look, the answer is a guitar.

Great game.

-That was good fun.

-See you soon.
