# Time for school. #

It's time for school,

and these children are going for the very first time.

They'll make new friends,

learn, discover and play.

The children go to two very different schools.

One is in a big city,

and the other in a country village near the sea.

Today, we're going to the school in the big city.

Are you ready? It's time for school!

At Mere Green School everyone is outside,

learning and playing together.

Look, Toby is riding the trike.

And there are Evie and Maisy skipping.

Luciana and Jacob have found some water to play with.

This is their teacher, Miss Mills.

She's found something colourful to take outside.

But what can it be?

-Shall we make the water red?

-Yeah.

-I'm going to have the metal spoon.

-I didn't have a turn.

Look how the paint mixes in and turns the water red.

Even more fun to play with!

And I'll put some in as well.

-OK, do you want to mix it, then?

-Mish, mash, moo.

-What's happening to the water?

-It's nice and red.

Pink and white makes red.

-Shall we put some balls in our water?

-Yeah.

Ah!

Look who's come to share the fun.

There's Tom, and here comes Toby.

-What are you doing?

-I'm trying to get some water.

Everyone join in together!

-I got one!

-There's some balls.

Whee! Nice idea, Tom.

Not in this one.

-I've made red paint.

-I've made my own red paint.

Uh-oh! Luciana is flicking the paint.

You can't flick the balls out.

Oops, it splashed all over Tom!

Um...

Miss, she's flicking the balls out!

-No, I'm not.

-Yeah, you are.

This isn't going too well.

I don't want them here.

He doesn't want them.

-I'm telling.

-I'm telling.

-Oh, dear.

She's just flicked the balls out.

Look, Luciana, he's got a bit of water on his face.

No, but I flicked it, erm... at his things.

So you flicked it but it accidentally hit him?

So it was an accident?

-No, it was on purpose.

-How do you know?

Jacob didn't want the balls and she just flicked them on me.

-No, I didn't.

-Yeah, you did.

I don't know what happened cos I wasn't there.

Can I just ask you to make friends? Would you make friends?

-So who wants to say "sorry" first?

-Me. Sorry.

-Right, you say "sorry" now.

-Sorry.

Are you going to shake hands? Hang on, shake hands.

Right, are you friends now? You go and play nicely together.

Their hairs look the same!

You've both got curly hair.

-And Maisy has.

-And he has!

Well, that's a great reason to be friends.

Look, green.

That's better, friends again! And there's still time to play.

Oh, what's this? Julian has found a river.

It goes all the way across the playground.

I think it's splitting.

Look at the children making a game of it.

They're standing with their feet on either side of the river.

Do you think they'll get wet?

Watch your feet, Luciana!

I wonder where the river goes.

Let's follow it.

Toby's found the end - in the mud!

There's still more time to play outside.

And the mums and dads have come to join in.

What are they going to do with all those clothes?

And a belt, I want this belt.

We've got a big coat. That is big.

We can zip that up and stuff it, can't we?

And the straw...

-Take that to Mummy.

-No!

What's Lucy making? Do you know?

I'll put a knot in the bottom of the trousers, that's a start.

Careful, Amelie. That looks heavy.

This is the messy bit.

Are you going to tie this one up?

They're stuffing the clothes with straw.

I wonder why.

Lucy, that's too big.

Oh! I think I know what they're making.

Why do you think everyone's tying up the trousers?

Lillie-Mae and her dad are busy.

I'm going to get some eyes.

Have you guessed what they're making?

Scarecrows!

-Look at that!

-Breathe in, Mr Scarecrow.

There's Toby and his dad.

You glue him on the back there. Oh!

Careful you don't get too sticky.

They're working with Lucy and her dad.

We're going to make the scarecrow's head with the tights.

Ah, decorating, the fun bit.

What's Phoenix making?

Patches for the trousers!

And very nice, too.

How am I meant to stick it on?

Buttons? Why would Toby need buttons?

-Which buttons shall we use?

-These ones.

Those big ones? If I draw a mouth on, that's it.

That's brilliant. She wants a bit of hair.

-Where are the eyes going to go now?

-There!

Where's your eye going to go?

-Ah, for eyes!

-That's good. He's a good-looking scarecrow.

Could someone put some glue on that for me?

I know what that shape is for. Do you?

-Ready?

-Yeah.

-Can you press it down, so it sticks?

It's a mouth!

Go on, then. Over you go, stick it on.

Amazing!

Which way shall we put his boots? Facing the other way?

This lucky scarecrow gets Wellington boots to keep his straw feet dry.

Pick him up... Pick him up, turn it round.

Oh, let's tie him on.

Is he still smiling?

The scarecrows look great, and they're nearly finished.

Just got to put a bit of straw in there

so it sticks out, there you go.

Add a hat and even some hair.

And then, if you hold his hat like that,

we'll lift you up and try and put it on the stake.

You might need some help.

Can you put it on?

That's it. Let's go and have a look at him.

And look, a smiling scarecrow!

-He actually looks quite happy, doesn't he?

-There we go.

Well done!

All the scarecrows look completely different.

It looks like she's crying.

-Right, looking at me.

-Smile.

Well done, Lucy. Good work, Toby.

-Cheese!

-Brilliant.

-Cheese!

-Everyone has done a great job.

Well done, everybody.

If you all give us a smile, you look fabulous.

Wow, what brilliant-looking scarecrows.

-Everybody give us a big smile and say "cheese"!

-Cheese!

Thank you, lovely.

Thanks for helping, mums and dads!
