# Time for school. #

It's morning at Mere Green school. And everyone wants to play.

Look! Tom and Phoenix are playing hopscotch.

Peek-a-boo, Ameelie.

Toby has found a barrel to play with.

Morning. Are you all playing today?

Mrs Cartmell is waiting for Ameelie.

How are you today?

That's it, roll up your sleeves.

Miss Mills has plans for Tom and Toby, Ruby, Jacob and Ameelie.

They're going to make delicious biscuits.

Ameelie, can you put the sugar in the big orange bowl for me?

Sugar goes in the bowl first.

-And some butter.

-Sticky.

-Great.

And sticky syrup.

Whoa, I've put quite a lot in.

Jacob, you're going to mix it now. Mix it all up.

So you're following instructions!

I'm crunching up all the butter to make it the right

-size for the mixing.

-You put that in.

Don't forget the egg.

Give it a mix now with the egg in.

Isn't Jacob good at mixing?

Remember to hug it really tight with your arm. That's it. Right.

Are we ready to sieve the flour?

Ameelie is using the sieve to shake the lumps out of the flour.

That's it.

Try keep it in the bowl. That's it. Wow, it's Christmas!

SHE LAUGHS

Is it kneading time?

Watch Miss Mills when I'm kneading. Push.

Push. OK, that's kneading.

So, Jacob. You have a go at kneading.

That's it, Jacob. Get your hands right in the bowl.

It's my turn now.

What we'll do now, I'll give you each some dough.

Toby rolls out the biscuit mix.

He's put some flour on the table to stop it sticking.

Some for Ameelie. Well done, Ameelie!

-Yours is perfect.

-Mine was not sticking!

It's ready for cutting out some biscuit shapes.

Oh! Look!

Miss Mills!

These are lovely.

Well done, Ameelie. Nice and neat.

Toby's is going on the tray now, look.

Children, look what you've done. Aren't you clever?

Should we count them slowly and carefully? One.

This one, together. Two, three. This one. Four.

Five, hang on, six, seven, eight.

-How many?

-Eight.

-Eight.

Eight yummy biscuits ready to go carefully in the oven.

After making some real biscuits, Toby

and Ameelie are playing in the toy kitchen.

You can have this.

Can you see? It's a toy mixer.

Look! I'm making orange juice.

Miss Mills. Look!

What are you cooking?

-It will be tangy.

-Why?

-Because.

Let's put this in here.

No, not that.

We're going to get some orange juice.

Is the orange juice ready, Ameelie?

It's cleaning time.

Ready to clean up, Ameelie?

Just the ironing to do now.

That's the fridge, Ameelie!

Maybe she wants cool clothes.

Outside, everyone.

I wonder where Ameelie and her friends are going.

-Miss Mills.

-Yeah?

-We've got the same wellies.

-Yeah. Snap.

-Snap.

-Yes, snap.

-Snap.

Here we are, here we are!

Now, children, because the autumn leaves have gone so beautiful

and they've gone oranges and browns and reds and yellows,

we thought you might want to do a big dragon picture

that breathes fire.

A dragon made out of leaves. What a brilliant idea.

Toby gathers lots of leaves.

Well done. You've got all those?

-Children, how many legs does a dragon have?

-Two.

-Two?

-Four.

-Four. Go find me four legs.

-Like a witch.

-What can we use this for? It is quite big.

A sword!

A tail. That can be his tail.

More leaves for dragon scales, please.

Miss Cartmell!

Oh, I like that one. Where can we put that?

Maybe we could make a spotty dragon.

Spread them all out so they are all over the middle of his body.

Where's the eye? Somebody went to look for something for an eye.

Miss Cartmell!

Two beech nuts! Brilliant. So we've got two eyes now. Look.

Where could we use that? We'll make that its ear.

Rwoaar!

What a fierce looking dragon.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ameelie and her friends have had great fun outside.

I wonder if the dragon will fly away.

Full of energy now. We've had a great time outdoors.

The biscuits have cooled down. Time to decorate them.

Jacob, that was yours. And that was yours.

I'll be over there while you're decorating.

Any problems, any help needed, come and ask Miss Mills, OK?

-We will call you over.

-I think Ameelie is going to start.

-Off you go.

-Ameelie puts some big dollops of icing sugar on.

You might have to share spoons because there's only three.

Shall I help?

Nice of you to help Tom, Jacob.

Careful not to spill, Toby.

-I need to put some more icing on.

-I'm trying really hard.

-I'm trying REALLY hard.

-I'm trying super-hard.

I'm trying mega-hard.

I'm trying super-hard.

I'm trying super-dooper-wooper mega-hard.

-I am.

-Tom is too.

Hey, I got icing on. I don't need icing.

Ameelie only wants a few decorations on her biscuits. It's all finished.

Miss Mills! I need to wash my hands.

I don't.

She can wash her sticky hands.

I'm spreading mine about with my spoon.

How are you all getting on?

-I'm making a boy.

-You've covered yours in lovely icing,

-just like Miss Mills.

-Look.

Wow, yours looks fantastic.

-I spreaded it about with my spoon like this.

-To make it really smooth.

Well done.

Toby wants some orangey bits on his biscuits.

Ameelie, have you finished?

Come on, then. You need to go outside.

It was really sticky, wasn't it?

-Tom's finished too.

-I'm going to show mine to Miss Mills.

-I haven't finished.

-Jacob wants to add a few more decorations.

I don't think you can fit any more on, Jacob.

What delicious looking biscuits.

Jacob can't wait to eat them.
