Tyra, Liza and Mario: Mario Goes to Choir Practice Where in the World?

-KIDS CHANT:

-Where? Where? Where in the world?

Where? Where? Where shall we go?

# Time for a trip

# Away we go

# Over mountains and oceans

# Sunshine and snow

# Discover new places

# Make friends on the way

# So where in the world shall we visit today?

# Where? Where? Where in the world?

# Where? Where?

# Where shall we go today? #

-KIDS CHANT:

-Where shall we go and who shall we see?

Let's visit Tyra in Ghana.

Tyra's on her way to nursery with her grandad.

They are driving through Accra, where Tyra lives.

It's very sunny and very hot there.

Have you done all your homework?

Yes.

Is it in your bag?

Yes.

-Are you sure?

-Yes.

Tyra goes to nursery to learn and play.

In the future, what would you like to do?

A doctor.

And why do want to be a doctor?

Because...

-Because what?

-God said I should be a doctor.

GRANDAD CHUCKLES

That's not the answer.

Give me a proper answer.

-Because doctor's my favourite.

-Are you sure?

If you want to be a doctor when you grow up, Tyra,

then the things you learn at nursery are going to help you a lot.

Tyra!

Hey, Tyra. Go into the classroom.

Everyone's pleased to see Tyra at the nursery.

And she's pleased to be there.

Today is Wednesday.

-CHILDREN:

-Today is Wednesday.

Tyra usually speaks her own language, but at nursery,

she's learning how to speak in English.

Yesterday was...?

Yesterday was...?

-CHILDREN:

-Tuesday.

Yesterday was Tuesday.

Yesterday was Tuesday.

Tomorrow will be Thursday. Tomorrow will be...?

-CHILDREN:

-Thursday!

Tomorrow will be Thursday.

You've done very well.

THEY SING AND CLAP TOGETHER

After practising the days of the week, it's time for sums.

So which number comes after two? Yes, Pepsi?

-Three.

-Three.

He says three. Is he right?

-CHILDREN:

-Yes!

So, come here, write the number three.

Write the number three for us.

OK, very good.

And, Tyra, what number is this?

-Zero.

-So, what do you say after zero?

-One.

Come and write it for us.

Come and write it.

That's easy for you, isn't it, Tyra?

Yes, very good.

So let's have a big clap for Tyra.

BELL RINGS

After learning in the classroom, it Tyra's favourite time...

Playtime.

Arrange yourselves.

I wonder why Tyra's organising all her friends into a line?

You be purple. You're indigo.

You're black. You're ash

Now let's do Choko Bridge.

THEY SING

Oh, I see! Tyra and her friends are making a bridge.

They're all playing London Bridge Is Falling Down.

Except, in Ghana, it's Choko Bridge that is falling down.

THEY SING IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE

All fall down.

Oh, there's the bell.

Playtime went very quickly.

Time to go back to the classroom, Tyra.

There are lots more amazing things to learn -

especially if you want to be a doctor.

-KIDS CHANT:

-Where shall we go? And who shall we see?

Let's go and see Lisa in Russia.

Lisa, her twin brother Styopa and their family are off for a walk.

LISA SPEAKS RUSSIAN

TRANSLATION: What have you spotted, Styopa?

A dandelion.

The dandelion seeds floating everywhere.

Which of you can catch the most?

Because some people say for every seed you catch,

you'll receive a letter in the post.

Almost, Styopa!

STYOPA: It's flown away.

LISA: Yes, I got it!

MUM: I think you're in the lead, Lisa.

But, be careful, the seeds might blow away.

LISA: There's another one.

That's four.

I'm going to get four letters.

Lisa's the winner.

But there's time for lots more competitions

at their local playground.

Lisa's older brother, Sergei, has plenty more challenges ready...

..once everyone's warmed up.

SERGEI: OK, who can stand on one leg the longest?

Now, this is going to be tricky.

SERGEI: Come on, Lisa.

You're like a statue, Lisa.

Uh-oh, Styopa's out.

LISA: My foot's starting to ache.

SERGEI: Oh, I give up. Lisa, you've won.

SERGEI: Time for another competition.

Dangling.

Who can dangle the longest without letting go?

LISA: Sergei, my hands are slipping.

LISA: My hands are tired.

Bad luck, Styopa.

But, still one final challenge to go.

A hopping race.

Ready, steady...go!

SERGEI: Styopa, you started too early.

SERGEI: Well done, it's a draw.

MUM: Well done, my little athletes.

Let's go home for a treat.

That sounds like a great prize -

for everyone!

-KIDS CHANT:

-Where shall we go?

And who shall we see?

Let's catch up with Mario in Italy.

Mario's feeling a little nervous.

He's about to sing a song all on his own with his local singing group.

But first, all the class sing hello to their teacher,

who's name is Guissi.

# Ciao, Monica

# Ciao, Guissi

# Ciao, Gina

# Ciao, Guissi

# Ciao, Mario

# Ciao, Suzi... #

Guissi, Guissi!

# Ciao, Mario

# Ciao, Guissi

# Ciao, Simone

# Ciao, Guissi... #

I got all confused.

# Ciao, Matthia

# Ciao, Guissi

-ALL:

-# La-la-la! #

-TRANSLATION:

-It's lovely to return home,

because what's really special at home?

-Television!

-My room!

-My computer.

Mario, why is your house beautiful?

Because there's a swimming pool and my cousins and I can

play out when ever we want.

When I return home, what do I find?

-Family!

-Family!

Ah, family!

Yes, that's the reason home is really special.

Are we ready?

Can I look at you when I'm singing?

It goes quite quickly and I can't follow very well.

Of course!

Let's go over the start of My House Isn't Very Big. OK?

Mario is going to sing about a snail who loves his little home,

even though it's very ordinary.

His home is the shell on his back.

Time for Mario to practise the words.

-TRANSLATION:

-# My house isn't very big

# There's the sun that shines above it

# Even when it's raining cats and dogs

# At night, there are many stars

# That come out to find me

# Do you know why?

# My house is a little special

# That's just how I like it. #

Great, let's start the music.

-ALL:

-Play!

THEY SING IN ITALIAN

HE SOLOS IN ITALIAN

You see? You didn't need to be nervous, Mario.

Well done.

Everyone's had a terrific day.

Tyra learned English and played with her friends at nursery.

Lisa and her brothers had some great competitions.

And Mario sang a beautiful song with his choir.

I wonder where in the world we'll go next time?
