# Time for school. #

I wonder what's happening at Mere Green School this morning.

Miss Mills' reception class is going out into the playground.

Come on, everybody. Out we go to play.

Oh, they've spotted something. Look. In the tree.

-What?

-In the tree!

-Up there!

ALL SHOUT OUT

-Oh! Well-spotted. Mrs Cartmell!

-Can you see what it is?

You won't believe what's happened. We've got a cat stuck up a tree!

It's a toy cat. Miss Mills is pretending it's real.

I can hear it mewing. I can hear it going, "Meow, meow".

What are we going to do about that cat?

-It's a real cat!

-Call the firemen.

-Call the firemen?

-Yes.

Do you think we can do anything else? ALL SHOUT OUT

Climb the tree? That's a good idea too.

-Climb up!

-A ladder!

Mrs Cartmell, we need to get a ladder quick.

Right, I'll hold the ladder.

-I don't know if I can reach.

-No, Mrs Cartmell...

Be careful climbing the ladder, Mrs Cartmell.

Stand back.

She's got the cat! Well done.

CHEERING

-Oh, thank you.

-He's got a really sore paw. He's bleeding.

-Oh, no.

-Can I see him?

-Look.

-Oh, the toy cat has a poorly paw.

-He's hurt himself. Look.

-Oh, no.

-Thank you.

-Poor little thing.

Shhh! Who would like to carry him in sensibly?

You have to be so sensible, Damara.

-Wait a sec. Wait.

-Can I carry him too?

Put your arm out there. That's it.

Right, let's carefully, carefully take him in now.

Right, come on, guys. We're going in now. Right, come on.

Nice and gentle with the patient, Damara.

I think we need to send this cat to a real vet.

If I send this cat to the vet today,

perhaps the vet might bring the cat back all better, do you think?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-Shall we give this cat a name?

-We don't have a name for this cat.

-Zoe.

-Zoe.

-Zoe?

-Yeah. So, the cat's going to be a girl.

-This cat is called Zoe now.

-What a lovely name.

I'm going to go to the office. Right, say bye-bye to Zoe.

-ALL:

-Bye.

-I hope Zoe gets better soon.

-See you soon, then. OK.

-Where's she taking us, do you think?

-Look! Here's a real dog.

Is she walking us or are we walking her?

-This is Cleo. She belongs to Mrs Cartmell.

-Come on, Clee, this way.

-Come on, this way.

-She is very nice.

-Yeah.

She's inquisitive because she hasn't been here before.

All these smells that she doesn't know,

she's trying to work out where she is and what the smells are.

-What is it, Clee? Oh, shall we take her into the orchard?

-Yes.

-Yes.

She's having a good old sniff, isn't she? Where are we, Cleo?

-Can you see what's happening to her tail, children?

-She's wagging it.

-She's wagging her tail, look.

-Why?

-She's happy.

She's getting used to it here now.

So, let's swap to Sophie now. Now, she's quite strong. OK?

So, just gently pull her back if she pulls too hard, OK?

Cleo!

Keep up, Sophie! Cleo is full of energy.

-She's being very nice.

-She's sniffing the plums.

She's thinking, "Mm, is there anything to eat here?"

She's got some more plums.

Yeah!

Cleo looks like she'll never stop running!

Cleo!

Wow, children, look who I've brought with me. This is Mr Gardner.

-Hello, everybody.

-ALL:

-Hello.

He's a real vet. He's come to tell you about being a vet.

I've brought your friend that you found yesterday.

-Who you called Zoe, is that right?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Hooray! Zoe is back.

-Pop this down here.

I'm sure you're all worried about Zoe. You found her up a tree.

-ALL:

-Yes.

-I bet she was a bit frightened.

We'll just take her out of the box.

As you can see, she's had a dressing put on her foot.

She got a splinter in her foot, climbing up the tree.

-Yeah, and she got bleeding on her foot.

-Yeah.

-So, we had to clean that up, clean all the blood off.

-Yeah.

We took the splinter out of her foot.

When you take that dressing off,

everything should all be nice and healed up.

If we pop her back in there.

What do you say to Mr Gardner for healing our cat?

-ALL:

-Thank you.

-Do any of you know what this is?

-ALL:

-A stethoscope.

-And do you know what it's for?

-To take your heartbeat.

-Absolutely.

You can hear things like a heartbeat, listen to breathing.

You can listen to all sorts of things. If you say hello...

-ALL:

-Hello.

-Bit louder than that.

-ALL:

-Hello!

-That's very, very loud.

It's quite loud when you listen through that.

I'll show you some things we use to have a look at dogs and cats.

Does anyone know what this is for?

-Your ear.

-That's right. It's called an otoscope.

It shines a light down there so we can have a look.

-Can you see the light?

-ALL:

-Yeah.

That allows me to see if she's got anything stuck down her ears.

-Quite a bit of wax down there!

-MISS MILLS LAUGHS

-That's fine.

-It's a toy cat.

-MR GARDNER LAUGHS

Now, does anyone know what this might be for?

-Big scissors.

-They are a big pair of scissors.

They're for a special job. They're for taking bandages off.

So, I can slide... the scissors underneath the bandage

and I can cut the bandage without cutting Zoe.

In a couple of days, if you get your teachers to take her bandage off,

her foot should be fine under there.

Great news. Zoe is better.

It looks like the children are going to play at being vets.

They've found plenty of toy animals to look after.

-I know what you have to do.

-Put it on your head.

-No.

-If something hurts...

-Julian is showing Toby where the bandages go.

Round... Round there.

Round anywhere.

Amelie's got a stethoscope.

She's listening to the toy dog's heartbeat.

Wow! Hasn't Toby done well with the bandage?

Open for animals! Come on, Ted. Go and sit down and I'll call you.

Look how busy Sophie is. I bet she's glad Lucy's come to help.

-What happened?

-Her legs.

-Don't worry, Jack.

Vet Sophie will take good care of your rabbit.

-Too busy?

-Yes.

Because this lion has hurt his paw.

Oooh!

What has Sophie found to put on? Do you think that's a vet's coat?

Er, Sophie, is that the right way round?

Is it actually poorly?

That's better, Sophie. Now you can help Jack's bunny.

-Do you want your pet?

-Yes, please.

-What a lot of animals to see vet Lucy.

-..Two pets.

-Can you put him in there for me?

-What do you want?

-That in here.

No, there you go, there you go. Do you want that one? Good.

-You can line up in the office.

-Can I have one of this, please?

-Hold on, I'll just have to write you down something.

-Oh.

Hooray! Jack's bunny is bandaged up.

Well done, vets. The toy animals are feeling much better now.
