0:00:10 > 0:00:12# It's where we live
0:00:12 > 0:00:15# We love to play together... #
0:00:15 > 0:00:16Quick, Tim!

0:00:18 > 0:00:20- # Just like us... #- Topsy, run!
0:00:20 > 0:00:23# And we'll be friends for ever
0:00:24 > 0:00:27# We can be anything
0:00:27 > 0:00:30# If we close our eyes and dream
0:00:32 > 0:00:35# We can play day after day

0:00:48 > 0:00:51# Be best friends for ever. #
0:00:52 > 0:00:55BOTH: Hello! It's us!
0:00:55 > 0:00:57- Topsy... - ..and Tim!
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Today, I'm going to school - without Topsy.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- It feels weird without Topsy.- Yeah.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18'Topsy's not coming to school today because she's in hospital.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21'I'm going to visit her after school. I can't wait!'
0:01:21 > 0:01:23We need to say "hi" to Mr Rosen.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26'I wave to Mr Rosen, like we always do,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28'every morning, on the way to school.'
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Hello, Mr Rosen!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Where's Topsy?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Oh! I need to tell Mr Rosen about Topsy's appendix.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Appendix!
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Oh.- He can't hear you. - Bleurgh!
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Topsy...
0:01:55 > 0:01:58And then her appendix taken out.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00OK, don't worry, Tim.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03I'll phone Mr Rosen later and explain everything - come on!
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- Let's get you to school. - Oh, look, a train.- I know.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19'This half term, in class 1M, we're learning about growing things.'
0:02:25 > 0:02:32So, today, 1M, we are going to plant a bean in a pot,
0:02:32 > 0:02:36like this one. And if we give this bean everything that it needs...
0:02:36 > 0:02:38WHISPERING
0:02:38 > 0:02:41'I'm not really listening to what Mr Morris is saying
0:02:41 > 0:02:45'because I'm telling Vinda all about Topsy.'
0:02:45 > 0:02:48And she was so, so, so sick.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53She went, "Ow, ow, it really hurts, Mummy."
0:02:53 > 0:02:58So, who can tell me what a bean like this might need
0:02:58 > 0:03:02to enable it to grow into a runner bean plant?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Yes, Roger?- Is it water?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06TIM WHISPERS LOUDLY
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Water. Can anyone else think of what else
0:03:09 > 0:03:12the bean might need as well as water?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14"Ouch, ouch, ouch."
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Tim?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Can you tell me what the bean might need to grow?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21- Water?- Yes, Tim,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25thank you, but I've already written "water" on the board.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Anything else? Yes, Kerry.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Mr Morris, did you know that Tim's going to see Topsy in the hospital
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- for the first time today? - Ah, I see.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35A hospital visit.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Well, that is a very interesting thing to do
0:03:38 > 0:03:42and maybe that's what Tim's thinking about this morning.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45OK... Hos-pit-al.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Yes, Tim?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Did you know, Mr Morris,
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Topsy's had her appendix taken out?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Oh, I see - Topsy's had an appendix operation?
0:03:56 > 0:04:01A-ppen-dix.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Topsy has had an appendix operation,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07or what is known as an appendicectomy.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09That's a very long word, isn't it?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12So we've got three words on the board now. Tim,
0:04:12 > 0:04:14can you read them out for us?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Er...
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Do you want to come and sit at the front?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Want to try again?
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Water...
0:04:26 > 0:04:28hospital...
0:04:28 > 0:04:30appendix.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Excellent, well done, Tim.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Now, if you listen really well
0:04:35 > 0:04:37and work really hard,
0:04:37 > 0:04:41after lunch we can all make a get-well card for Topsy.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Yes? Yes, OK.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44So, beans.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Yes?
0:04:46 > 0:04:47SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:04:47 > 0:04:50'Mummy has slept at the hospital with Topsy
0:04:50 > 0:04:52'ever since she's been poorly,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55'but she's collecting me from school today
0:04:55 > 0:04:57'and I can't wait to see her.' Mummy!
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Say hi to Topsy from me! - I've missed you!
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- Is Topsy all right?- Yes, she's doing really, really well.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- We made a card for Topsy! - Oh, Tim - it's lovely!
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- It's from the whole of 1M. - Oh, Tim - she'll love that.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Shall we go and see her? Do you want to carry it?- "Get well soon, Topsy."
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- It's gorgeous - who helped you make that?- Say hi to Topsy for us!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- We will!- Bye! Thanks!
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I'll take the bag, Tim. Thank you.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- Topsy's going to love her card, isn't she?- Yeah.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Right... - Mummy, look - there! An ambulance.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Oh, yes! Wow.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I've never been inside a hospital before. Have I?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Actually, you have, Tim.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50This is Belford Hospital, where you and Topsy were born.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Now, she is on the first floor - it's Daisy Ward,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55so we need to take the stairs, OK?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- OK, come on!- OK, let's go!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Oh, look, Tim. Can you read the sign over there?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Er...
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Just straight ahead, this one over here.- Oh, there.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11- Er...- This one.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Can you see... What ward are we looking for? Can you see it?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Daisy ward. Oh, it's there! This way.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Well done. Perfect.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Whoa! Not so fast, young man!
0:06:31 > 0:06:34We've got enough broken bones in here already!
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Sorry, Dr Walton - he's a bit excited.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42- I'm going to see my twin sister, Topsy.- Oh, wow - you must be Tim!
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I'm Dr Walton. She's told me all about you. She's doing very well.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Go through that door, follow your mum and don't
0:06:49 > 0:06:53forget to put some hand sanitiser on to keep your hands germ-free, OK?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I'll show him, thanks, Dr Walton.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Pump. There you go.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03And rub your hands together. OK...
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Do you want to push the button? This one here.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Can I help?- Yes, we're here to see Topsy O'Dell.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13DOOR BUZZES
0:07:13 > 0:07:14After you.
0:07:19 > 0:07:25- Topsy!- Tim!- Ooh! Careful, Tim! Topsy's tummy is still a bit sore.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27How are you feeling, my twintastic Topsy?
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Did you manage to meet all your lunch?- Um, I ate the pudding.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- And I'm OK, thanks, but I'm really glad you're back.- Aw!
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Well, I remembered your slippers...
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Yes! Thank you.- There you go.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Whoa! Are these your drawers?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Yes.- What's in them?- Not much.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Tell me about school, Tim! What did I miss out on today?
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Well... I told the whole class about your operation!
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- And we planted some beans, as well. - Did Kerry plant a bean?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- Yes, she was Vinda's learning partner.- Good morning, Topsy!
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- Hello again, Tim.- Hi, Dr Walton. - Mr and Mrs O'Dell, hello.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Dr Walton, please can Tim listen to his heartbeat?
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Yes, you can listen to your heartbeat on my stethoscope.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Now, you just put these in your ears... That's it.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Hold this up onto your chest...
0:08:23 > 0:08:25There you go - you hold that. How's that?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- (Is that my heart?)- Yes!
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- I expect it's rather loud. - Yes, it is.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Boom-boom! Boom-boom!
0:08:36 > 0:08:38THEY LAUGH
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- How are you feeling, are you comfortable, Topsy?- I am, thanks.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- And do you have any questions for me today?- I do!
0:08:45 > 0:08:49When can Topsy come home? We can look after her there.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I'm sure you'd make a great doctor, Tim.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54But I'm afraid we'll let Topsy stay here
0:08:54 > 0:08:56and get a little bit better in hospital first.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- What do you say, Topsy? - Um, I do like it here,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02but when can I go back to school, please, Dr Walton?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06We need to make sure you're completely better here first.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10When you have appendicitis, it means there's a big operation...
0:09:10 > 0:09:14'Dr Walton tells me that I can't go to school for two whole weeks.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- 'And then she starts beeping.' - ..Then you can go back to school.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- BEEPING - Ooh! I have to go
0:09:21 > 0:09:24and look after another patient. Before I go, I'm going
0:09:24 > 0:09:28to ask the nurse to show you my favourite room in the hospital.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- What's that?- You'll see!
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Now, you take care, Topsy. I'll see you later.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- Thanks, Dr Walton.- Bye.- Bye!
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- Tim, do you remember that we got something for Topsy?- Oh, yes!
0:09:40 > 0:09:42I nearly forgot.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47(There you go...)
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- Wow!- We made this at school - the whole of 1M signed it.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56What's inside?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Thank you! I love it!
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I really miss school and all my friends.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07- There's yours and there's Kerry's. - Well spotted.- Hi, Topsy.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I'm Tai, the senior charge nurse.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Dr Walton has asked me to take you for a walk -
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- if you feel ready to do that. - Yes, please.- Great, OK.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I'm just going to bring the bed up...
0:10:19 > 0:10:21'Tai helps Topsy to stand up.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26'She has to move slowly and carefully after her operation.'
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Just bring your legs over... to the side. OK?
0:10:33 > 0:10:37All good. Shuffle right to the front here. That's it.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Ah, well done, Topsy!
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Thank you, Tai.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Come on, everyone. I want to explore!- Not too fast!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47We're going to take it slowly, Topsy, OK?
0:10:50 > 0:10:55'Nurse Tai helps Topsy and we all leave the ward for the play zone!'
0:10:57 > 0:11:01The play zone is the most fun place in the hospital! In you go, Tim.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05- Whoa!- Whoa!
0:11:05 > 0:11:10'The play zone is great and I meet Ayesha and Brent.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14'They're fun teachers, especially for when you're in hospital,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- 'like me.'- Wow, look at all of these books and games, Topsy!
0:11:17 > 0:11:20You'll never want to come home!
0:11:20 > 0:11:23And look... A dressing-up box, Topsy!
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Come on, Topsy!
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Don't you want to go and join in, Topsy?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I think I need to sit down.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Oh, darling, of course.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Let's get you a chair.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Topsy, what's wrong?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Can you grab me a chair, Brian, please?- Yeah.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41'And that's when Tai said...
0:11:41 > 0:11:43' "Topsy has had an operation
0:11:43 > 0:11:46' "and it'll take a little time for her to get better." '
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Topsy has had an operation
0:11:48 > 0:11:51and it'll take a little time for her to get better.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- Please may I have a drink of water, Tai?- Of course. I'll get you one.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59And when you're ready, we'll walk back to the ward, OK?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- Topsy, would you like me to read you a story?- No, no, no! I will.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Oh, OK. Oh!
0:12:05 > 0:12:09I like this, Tim! Look at you!
0:12:10 > 0:12:15I will read to you... In my dragon voice!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17' "And that," said Tim, "was that." '
0:12:17 > 0:12:19The monster's name was...
0:12:24 > 0:12:26BOTH: Hello!
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Are you good at remembering?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Can you remember what happened to us today?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34This is our Topsy and Tim memory game.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Let's play!
0:12:37 > 0:12:42Today, while I was in hospital, Tim was in class.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Can you remember who Tim was whispering to?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Was it Kerry?- Or was it Vinda?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54The answer is behind the jigsaw piece.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Look, it was Vinda!
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Watch this!
0:13:04 > 0:13:10Today, 1M, we are going to plant a bean in a pot,
0:13:10 > 0:13:12like this one.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15And if we give this bean everything that it needs...
0:13:15 > 0:13:17WHISPERING
0:13:17 > 0:13:20'I'm not really listening to what Mr Morris is saying
0:13:20 > 0:13:23'because I'm telling Vinda all about Topsy.'
0:13:23 > 0:13:27And she was so, so, so sick.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31She went, "Ow, it really hurts!"
0:13:31 > 0:13:32Great game!
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- That was good fun.- See you soon!
0:13:40 > 0:13:44# We can play, day after day
0:13:44 > 0:13:48# And the fun will never end
0:13:48 > 0:13:52# So let's all play together
0:13:52 > 0:13:55# Be best friends for ever. #
