0:00:23 > 0:00:24# Time for school. #
0:00:28 > 0:00:32It's a lovely sunny day at Lowick School.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36One, two, three....
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Whee! That looks fun!
0:00:46 > 0:00:50And it's fun reading when the older children help the younger ones.
0:00:52 > 0:00:58"'Poor...old rabbit,'
0:00:58 > 0:01:00"said Mum."
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Callum is reading to Mrs Edmondson.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Davy is reading to himself.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24And Justice is helping Mitchell learn the letters of the alphabet.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- And that's a what?- A.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- 'Yah'.- No.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Try it again, Mitchell!
0:01:41 > 0:01:46It goes down with a flick and then a cross, so it's a...T.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- T.- That's right!
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Curly 'K'.- That's an...?- A.- E.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Justice really helped Mitchell, didn't she?
0:02:01 > 0:02:06Everyone's changed. What do you think they're going to do?
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Their teacher, Mrs Byrne, gathers them in a circle.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Are you ready, steady? Let's get into a circle
0:02:14 > 0:02:17and sit down smartly. Who's sitting up the tallest?
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- Look, Davy wants to be the tallest! - There you go, sweetheart.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Feathers? I wonder what they're for. - Wow, a fluffy one!
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- What colour would you like?- Blue. - Blue what?- Light blue.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Blue...?- Dark blue? - I don't mind which colour blue,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36but there's a special word. What do you think it is?
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Please.- Please.- Good boy, well done!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43There you go, Libby. There you go, Patrick.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Listen, music!
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Do you think those feathers tickle?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Look what happens when the children let them go!
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Are they floating?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Quick, catch it, Abbie!
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Can you blow it back?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Blow that feather, Davy, blow!
0:03:28 > 0:03:32I've got some really big feathers, OK?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34These feathers are like wings
0:03:34 > 0:03:37and they're going to make you fly.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Really soar for me, Mitchell! Off you go!
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Flying like a bird! Mitchell first.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51You're really stretchy!
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Wow! Look at those!
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Can you choose somebody else to be the bird?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Who is he going to pick?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Charlie! Fly, Charlie, fly!
0:04:14 > 0:04:16What a clever way to use feathers!
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Look! Mitchell is writing his name for Mrs Fieldhouse.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34- I'm getting good at writing, aren't I?- You really are, my darling.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37That's because you are trying so hard.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Now, you try and do it without me drawing.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Straight down to the dot.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Bounce up to the dot.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Then you're going to slide down to that dot.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54And bounce up to that dot.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56And slide down to that dot.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Fantastic! Look at that!
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Nice letter M, Mitchell.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Hold the paper.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Perfect! A little dot on the top.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Perfecto! What you've got is a 'ch'
0:05:20 > 0:05:22in the middle of your name,
0:05:22 > 0:05:26and these two together, C and H,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28say 'ch'. So you need the...
0:05:30 > 0:05:33So it says 'M-it-ch-ell'.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Curly...
0:05:35 > 0:05:40Oh, look at that! Your mummy and daddy are going to be so pleased,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- aren't they? - Yes, they're going to like it.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45They're really going to like it.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47OK, now we need 'L-L'.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Down, down, down, and flick.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55That's beautiful. And down and...
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Is that all good?- Very good.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03That's the first time you've written your whole name, isn't it,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06without going over the top of mine?
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Marvellous Mitchell,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09that's what you are!
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Mitchell and his classmates
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- have a special trip this afternoon. - We're going swimming.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- Their first swimming lesson! - We're going to line up
0:06:24 > 0:06:26with your swimming partner
0:06:26 > 0:06:30and your coat and your swimming kit. Instead of going to the island,
0:06:30 > 0:06:34we're going to the sports centre. When you get there,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37you go and get changed into your swimming things
0:06:37 > 0:06:40and you meet the swimming teacher.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46And there's absolutely nothing to be frightened about.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I wonder if Mitchell likes swimming?
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- Are we the ready teddies?- Yes!
0:06:53 > 0:06:57# So, line up, line up, form a cue
0:06:57 > 0:07:02# One, two, three, four, you and you
0:07:02 > 0:07:04# Little soldiers here to supervise
0:07:04 > 0:07:08# So come on, let's get organised. #
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Come on, everyone on the coach!
0:07:13 > 0:07:16We're off to the swimming pool.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Hello!
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Right, on the bus, seatbelts on!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25On the bus. Bag off your head!
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Lots of room for everyone!
0:07:44 > 0:07:47The older children have been swimming before,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50so they're looking after the younger ones.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55And, Charlotte, in there.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58There are changing rooms for the girls
0:07:58 > 0:08:01and changing rooms for the boys.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08It's going to be very slippy.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Everyone ready? I hope the water's not too cold!
0:08:14 > 0:08:19That is brilliant! Blow bubbles!
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Lots of bubbles. That's brilliant!
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Ah, Mitchell, carefully does it! Into the water.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34And...big ones!
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Those kicking legs make lots of big splashes!
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Watch out, Mitchell, you're going to get wet!
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Let's see if you can lay on your back.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Right, boys...
0:09:04 > 0:09:08That's OK, Mitchell, you can try floating on your back next time.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Connor's got the hang of it.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Well done!
0:09:19 > 0:09:24Look at Mitchell now! He's really getting used to being in the water!
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Well done, Mitchell! Swimming can be fun, can't it?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Mitchell is enjoying himself
0:09:48 > 0:09:51in the water with Mrs Edmondson.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57How big are bubbles? How big are bubbles?
0:09:57 > 0:10:02THEY GURGLE
0:10:02 > 0:10:04That's a silly noise, isn't it?
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Oh, good idea! Floats are fun
0:10:09 > 0:10:10and they help you to swim.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Look at Mitchell! He is having a great time with his float.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33What a special day for Mitchell and his friends!
