# Time For School. #

It's the start of a new school day at Mere Green.

Jacob's arriving with his dad.

It's a special day for him.

-Is it your birthday?

-Yeah.

-Happy birthday.

Happy fifth birthday!

There's Miss Mills.

She's got a birthday cuddle for Jacob.

You can tell that you're five today.

-Are we going to have a little party for you?

-Yeah.

-Yay!

-Thank you so much for bringing his cake.

-No problem. Enjoy. Enjoy.

Right, are we going to sing Happy Birthday to Jacob?

One, two, three.

ALL: # Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday, dear Jacob

# Happy birthday to you. #

Hip, hip. ALL: Hooray!

Hip, hip. ALL: Hooray!

Hip, hip. ALL: Hooray!

-Isn't that lovely? Jacob, are you having a lovely day?

-Yeah.

-What have you had for your presents?

-A scooter.

Walkie-talkies.

And a light-up globe.

-What a lovely set of presents you've had.

-Yes.

Jacob's mummy and daddy have brought him a cake

that he would share with all the children.

So, Jacob, you bring your cake over.

Yum, yum. It's chocolate cake.

That's nice, Jacob's sharing his cake with his friends.

You've got two Smarties and two chocolate bits.

"Thank you, Jacob," says Sophie.

This bit's got chocolate and a Smartie on.

I'm telling them what's on it.

This one has got two Smarties on and chocolate topping.

Do you think they're enjoying Jacob's cake?

The birthday boy loves chocolate.

LAUGHTER

Dirty bowls need to go here.

Look at those messy bowls. They need a good clean.

And birthday boy Jacob is in charge.

What you doing?

Washing the bowls.

I need somewhere to put them.

And Evie is going to help.

They need pouring out water before they start, don't they?

Pour the water into there.

The bowls are clean.

And so are Jacob's hands.

It's playtime outside.

Jacob could use a friend on the other end of the seesaw.

Ah, here's Ruby.

Let go!

-I'm five today.

-I'm four.

I'm five so I'm older than you.

I've got a little sister.

-Is it a baby?

-Yeah.

And she's nearly two.

I've got another brother.

-And guess how old he is?

-How old?

-One.

And I'm five.

Ready?

Careful that you don't fall off.

Whoops!

What's this Jacob has found?

I got a Frisbee.

What a good idea - playing throw and catch with Julian.

-Was that flying?

-Yep.

-Was that gliding?

-Yep.

Was that flying or gliding?

No, that was both flying and gliding.

-Was that flying?

-It was both, I think.

But that was spinning.

It was gliding and spinning.

Gliding, spinning and flying. And floating.

That was floating, too.

That was swimming. It went in to the deep.

That was swimming, flying, floating.

-Aw, that was cool!

-Yeah!

Oh, cool!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Cool! I just catched it!

Miss Mills is shaking the tambourine.

That means playtime is over.

Good boy.

Look, Jacob and his class are doing some art with Mrs Cartmell.

What are they making?

-Let's have a look.

-Birthday cards!

So, we've written "I." What could we say next to finish our sentence?

-I love you?

-Can you write the word "love"?

"L." Shall we do "L"?

Look, "L".

"L." Like that.

Jacob's card is for a toy cat called Mog.

Can you see the picture of the cat he's used?

What are you going to do with that picture now?

-Send it to my mum.

-Send it to your mum?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, Mummy!

Look how fast my arrows are going.

Jacob, what are you doing?

-Arrows.

-Arrows?

-And they're flying.

-Why are you drawing arrows?

-Flying arrows.

-Flying arrows?

-Yes.

-Who are they for?

-Mog.

And what kind of arrows are they? What do they mean?

They're for him.

-They're pointing at Mog.

-Aww.

And where did you get that idea from?

I just...did it.

Arrows. That's very interesting that you're drawing arrows.

-They've got jets on.

-Oh, they've got jets on them.

To make it fly really fast.

It's a beautiful picture.

-And I put some of them on.

-And what are they?

They're ear defenders so it isn't very loud.

Here's Miss Mills. She's having a look at Jacob's card.

That's wonderful. That is so clever.

-Have you designed that?

-Yeah.

I think she's going to love that.

-Have you written anything else inside the card?

-Look.

-It's her birthday today.

-Whose birthday?

-It's Mog's birthday.

-Is it? So, this is a birthday card.

-Is it anyone else's birthday today?

-Yeah, mine.

-Is it yours?

-Yeah.

-Oh, I remember.

-And it's my mummy's birthday.

-Is it?

Well, happy birthday to your mummy.

And happy birthday to Jacob. And Mog.

-Is it her birthday, too?

-Yeah.
