Going to School Woolly and Tig

Hey, Tig!

# I love Woolly and Woolly loves me

# We've been together since we were wee

# We play hide and we play run

# We have plenty, plenty fun

# He's my spider cuddly toy

# He's my clever, woolly boy

# I love Woolly and Woolly loves me

# We've been together since we were wee. #

'When I was little, I went to school.

'Not my nursery school, but a big school.

'Woolly came too.

'Before I went to school, me and my mummy went to see it.

'A nice lady showed us the big school.'

-Who's this?

-Woolly.

Would you like to show him round?

'There were lots of rooms.

'There were lots of stairs.

'There were pegs to hang up our coats.

'There were toilets.

'I like the toilets. They have lots of basins.

'Then the nice lady showed us into a room

'with lots of pictures and chairs.

Miss Sanderson is going to be your teacher.

'This will be your classroom, Tig. Miss Sanderson will be your teacher.

'I liked Miss Sanderson. She smiled at me.

'Miss Sanderson showed me my classroom.

'There were tables for writing... Play areas - just like nursery.

'I had my very own drawer.

'Then I met a girl called Julia.'

Julia will be your buddy at school.

'Julia was my buddy. She gave me a book all about her.

'I liked my new big school.

'Mummy bought me new clothes for school - just like Julia's.'

-OK, Tig. Do you want to go and try on your uniform?

-Yes, Mummy.

'When Daddy came home, he didn't know who I was.'

-Who's this?

-Tig!

-No!

-You can't be Tig. Oh! It is Tig! Yay!

-'Funny daddy!'

-And here's your bag, Tig.

-Thank you, Mummy.

-You're all set for school!

-Yeah!

'On my first day at my new big school, I was very excited.

'We hung up our coats.

'In my classroom, Miss Sanderson let us choose what to do.

'I played just like at nursery.

'I knew some of the children. They were at my nursery.

'Yippee!

-'Later, Miss Sanderson said to sit down.'

-Now, boys and girls.

-We're going to do some letter work.

-'We did sounds...

'We did shapes...

'We learnt letters...

'Miss Sanderson showed us how to write letters.'

Up...down...with a tail.

Do you think you could have a go?

'I wrote my letters with a pencil.'

Those are wonderful. Well done. Just keep going.

'I wanted to make all the letters just right for Miss Sanderson.

'Ping!

'My pencil broke! I couldn't write any more.

I didn't know what to do.'

Oh, dear, Tig. You broke your pencil!

I know how you feel. You don't want Miss Sanderson to know, do you?

-No!

-But Miss Sanderson is here to help, Tig.

If you don't tell her your worries, she can't help sort them.

# Any weenie worry

-Go for it, Tig!

-CHILDREN:

-Go for it!

"Yes!", I thought. "My pencil's broken. I must tell Miss Sanderson."

-I've broken my pencil.

-Oh, that's no worries. I'll give you a new one.

There you go.

"No worries", said Miss Sanderson - and gave me another pencil.

'I loved my first day at school.

'When I got my shoes the wrong way round, I told Miss Sanderson.

'When I wanted to go to the toilet...'

Excuse me, there's the toilet?

'..A teacher reminded me where to go.

'In the playground, I had no worries.

'My buddy, Julia, showed me everything!

'We played and had fun.

'After break, we had numbers and counting.

'Going to school was so much fun!

'Me and Julia had lunch together.

'I had lunch on a tray.

'After lunch, Miss Sanderson read us a story.

-'I wanted Woolly to cuddle, but I couldn't find him.'

-Yes, Tig?

-I've lost Woolly.

-OK.

'I told Miss Sanderson. I was so worried!

'Miss Sanderson couldn't find Woolly. Poor Woolly was lost!

'Miss Sanderson told the nice lady.

'The nice lady told the head teacher.

-'The head teacher told Julia.'

-Do you know where he is?

-I know where Woolly is.

-Excellent!

-'Julia knew where Woolly was.

'Woolly was where I had left him when I went out to play.

'I was so happy to have Woolly to hug again.

'After school, when I got home, I was very tired.'

-How was your first day at school?

-'I was grumpy.

'I didn't want to talk. I wanted to hold poor Woolly.'

Hey, Tig!

You've had your first day at school!

You're very tired.

But what has made you even more tired is losing me.

Maybe tomorrow, you should leave me here at home.

No, Woolly. I'll never leave you.

But you left me today. And I got lost.

School is a busy place. You don't want me to get lost again.

I love you, Woolly.

And I love you too, Tig. I'll be here waiting for you every day.

Like Mummy and Daddy. Yippee! Go for it, Tig!

"Yes!", I thought.

'I love Woolly. I love Mummy and Daddy. I like them safe at home.

'Going to school the next day was exciting.

'We did gym...

'We did counting... We played...

'Miss Sanderson read us a story. I hugged a frog...

'..and thought of Woolly.

When I came home, Woolly was waiting for me.

I'm only a toy spider!

'Then I told Woolly and Mummy and Daddy all about my day at school.'

And then, after break...

'I like going to school. I like coming home.

'I love Woolly.'
