0:00:05 > 0:00:07# Rise and shine
0:00:07 > 0:00:09# A new day
0:00:09 > 0:00:10# Time for fun
0:00:10 > 0:00:12THEY GIGGLE
0:00:12 > 0:00:14# School today
0:00:14 > 0:00:17# Meet new friends
0:00:17 > 0:00:20# Teachers too
0:00:20 > 0:00:22# Ding-ding-ding! School bell rings
0:00:22 > 0:00:24# Time for school. #
0:00:27 > 0:00:29It's time for school.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32And these children are going for the very first time.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35They'll make new friends,
0:00:35 > 0:00:39learn, discover and play.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42The children go to two very different schools.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43One is in a big city.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49And the other in a country village near the sea.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54Today, we're going to the school in the big city. Are you ready?
0:00:54 > 0:00:56It's time for school!
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Here come the Mere Green children, ready to start the day.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- Hello.- Good morning, Toby.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06Hello, Amelee.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Look at the autumn colours of the leaves.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Miss Mills has something special for the children to do.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22It's autumn time at the moment, isn't it?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Lots of the leaves are falling off the trees.- Yes, they are.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29The problem is it's difficult to go on the footpaths
0:01:29 > 0:01:32because of the leaves. I was hoping that some children
0:01:32 > 0:01:37- might want to help Miss Mills to sweep up some of the leaves.- I do.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Welly boots for outside. Good idea.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Who do those bright pink boots belong to?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Amelee!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Are we ready to go outside?- Yeah.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Come on, then.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Find some waterproof trousers and then put them
0:02:04 > 0:02:06on and then a coat.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10The waterproofs keep mucky leaves off clean clothes.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17You're doing really well, Toby. That's it. You just pull.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Look.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Oh, is there a hole in it? Oh, dear, how's that got there, do you think?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28I have my waterproof coat on.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Toby helps Tom put his coat on.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Right, we use the rake like this.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Get the leaves into a nice neat pile like this. OK.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Then we use this giant spade... Look.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55..to scoop up the leaves and then we put them
0:02:55 > 0:03:00either in there, or in the wheelbarrow.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01So that's your job.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Show your friends how it's done, Toby.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Look at me do it.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Miss Mills, look. Miss Mills.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Look.- Good girl. You're doing great.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Scoop them up and put them into your wheelbarrow.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30- We'll put them into bin bags.- Yeah! - Yeah? Keep them all together.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34What a lot of leaves fall from the trees in autumn.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Put them in the wheelbarrow.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Oh, this is very tiring.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Careful. Slippery leaves.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54We might have to do this for a whole week!
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Just tip it forwards.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Just the last few.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Right.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Start putting the leaves in the bin bags.
0:04:10 > 0:04:16Toby, Amelee and friends have done a great job clearing up the leaves.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Well done. We'll close this bag now.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Outside, the leaves are wet and soggy.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Inside, the children have got some dry leaves.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37I'm going to close my eyes, and what do they feel like?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42They're feeling the leaves with their fingers.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47- Soft.- Crusty!- Crusty.- Cornflakes.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- You think it feels like cornflakes? - Yes.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- And what would you say cornflakes are like?- Hard.- Crunchy.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56"Crunchy". Look, "crunchy" is one of the words here. Look.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00"Crunchy". Cer-un-chee.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02"Crunchy".
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- What about the colours? - This one is green.- That one is.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- This one is darker green.- That one is green. Dark green.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Gold.- Golden!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15"Golden". That's another one of the words.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- "Crunchy", "golden".- Red.- Yeah, "red".
0:05:18 > 0:05:24Should we sound it out? Ready. Rer-eh-duh. "Red".
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Close your eyes and listen.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30RUSTLING
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Crunchy!
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Ruh...
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- ALL:- Rustly!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Rustling. "Rustling".
0:05:38 > 0:05:41And when they come down from the trees, they are...?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Falling!- "Falling".
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Autumn leaves are falling down.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Oh! The children are going outside.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04What do you think they'll get up to this time?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Look at these trees here.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14Golden. Isn't that lovely? And what a beautiful shape.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- I found a red.- Put them together.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Can you see the different colours and shapes of the leaves?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Look at the autumn colours. Aren't they lovely?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- What have you found, Toby?- Red. - "Red" what?- On here.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Red leaves on the floor.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Look!- Great. Keep looking.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Let's see what else we can find.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Oh, don't they look lovely together? Great.
0:06:39 > 0:06:45Children, can you all find ten leaves?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46One.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Ruby is good at counting leaves.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Five, six.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56I've got ten.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Seven.- Miss Mills!
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- Has Toby got ten leaves? - How many have you got?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Count them for me. No, lay them out for me so I can see.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Count them from here, Toby. - I've got ten.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- One, two, three, four, five, six...- Seven, eight.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18You've got eight and you need ten, so you need two more
0:07:18 > 0:07:21and then you'll have ten. Go and get two more.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37You've got too many, Toby.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39You need ten. Just ten.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Sophie has ten leaves.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Well done.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54What has Jacob found on the ground? An acorn!
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- I found one!- Put it in your pocket and then we'll take it to class.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03Acorns grow on oak trees, and in autumn they fall to the ground.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Look! The children are collecting some.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Look at this one.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Wow, it's growing into a new tree, isn't it?
0:08:16 > 0:08:21I wonder what the class are going to do with the acorns.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Make sure you've all got a plant pot each.- I've got one.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Yours is more of a watering can. That's what you use for water.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- Have you got enough plant pots? - Plant pots?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39What are they going to plant?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41We're going to plant some of these.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46- What's the first thing... - The acorns they found!
0:08:46 > 0:08:49We're going to have to share the tools. OK?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52It's soil.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57It's very, very hard so we'll need to break it up first, I think.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- We have to wash our hands. - We'll wash them after, definitely.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06You need some soil at the bottom, to half full.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Then you put the acorn, then some more soil on top.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Look, mine's dirty!
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Oh, lovely messy hands.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Can I put the nut in, Miss Mills?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Can I put the acorn in now?
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- Get one of the ones with a little shoot.- I have!
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Good. Get the little shoot.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Because Ruby's acorn has shoots, it may start growing into a tree.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35You need to really cover it and pack it down.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Shall I put the water in now?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Have you put the acorn in?- Yeah.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Have you put some more soil on top?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Right, then you can water it.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51That's it, Danielle. Water will help the acorn grow.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Put the water in.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55There's no more!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- There's no more!- Go and fill them up.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00The water's run out.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Toby's off to get some more.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I'm just getting some more water.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Jacob, put your sticker on. On your plant pot.- Plant pot!?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Yeah, because you're going to put them out in the sunshine.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- I've got water.- Well done, Toby.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Plenty of water for the rest of the pots.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Then we can see your name on the edge. Yours next, Ruby.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35When will mine grow?
0:10:36 > 0:10:37I don't know.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41The acorns will need plenty of sunlight if they're going to grow.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52That's it, Toby. Put your pot where it will catch the sunlight.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Maybe one day they'll grow into huge oak trees.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59# La-la-la
0:10:59 > 0:11:02# La-la-la
0:11:02 > 0:11:04# La-la-la
0:11:05 > 0:11:07# La-la-la. #
