Here's Jacob arriving at school.

Amelie is happy to be seeing her friends!

What will their teacher, Ms Mills, have in store for them today?

Hiya!

-You OK?

-Yeah!

-Hello, Jacob, lovey!

-Are you both all right?

-Yes.

MS MILLS GIGGLES

There goes the bell!

Hello! Come in!

Come on in!

Everyone has arrived.

Before Jacob can play in the sand pit,

they have to take the rain cover off.

Pull it! Pull!

Pull!

Use your muscles! Well done.

Look! Jacob, Sophie and Jack are digging for buried treasure!

Not a toy!

We found a treasure!

Wow! They found some gold!

We found gold.

SOPHIE SQUEALS

-Where's the thingy gone?

-There it is. Dig.

Keep digging.

Keep digging.

There it is!

SOPHIE GIGGLES

Jacob is building a tower out of wheels!

We don't need the car, do we?

-Ugh!

-Ugh!

Careful with that sand! Jacob is right behind you!

Dig with me. Dig.

Oh, dear! The sand has gone all over Jacob!

Mrs Cartnell will need to talk to them.

Sand hurts if it goes in your eyes.

-OK. I think, Jack...

-She was chucking sand at me!

OK. Sophie, did you mean to throw sand at the boys?

SOPHIE MUMBLES "ACCIDENT"

-Pardon?

-Accident.

-By accident?

When you're digging, can you try and be really, really careful,

-so that you don't throw sand on anybody?

-We found some treasure.

-Cos what happens if sand goes in your eyes?

-Erm...

SHE MUMBLES

-Does it hurt?

-Yeah.

-It hurts a lot, doesn't it?

-Nathan...

-Uh-uh.

Jack, no, don't throw the sand over there, lovey, please.

You can move over there and keep the sand in the sand pit, OK? See?

-What is all that? What is all this?

-That's it, good boy.

-We found some treasure.

-Oh, well done!

Jacob's much happier. Everything's OK now.

Jacob is building something out of toy bricks.

Can you see how he puts the bricks together?

Jack's come to see what he's building.

These are my machines. That's a goblin-kicking machine.

-What's this?

-That's a hovercraft.

It hovers along the roads, like this.

Broooooh!

And this is a hovercraft, and I've started to make something,

super-duper fast engines.

HE COUNTS SILENTLY

Six...

-engines in this.

-Why?

-Is that a lot of engines?

-Yes.

This has got 60 hundred and three million thousand hundred engines.

Wow! That many engines, Jacob?

Look.

HE IMITATES MOTORCYCLE ENGINE

Very clever, Jacob!

Evie is sweeping up sand from the indoor sandpit.

Children! Come on, you can help me tidy up outside.

Jacob is going to help!

Look how much sand I collected. Is that a lot?

I've done a pile going there, too.

-Working together.

-Well done.

-I collected lots.

Well done, Jacob, you have collected lots.

Imagine all that sand going in the bin.

-There would be no sand left in the sand pit, would there?

-No.

-I'm collecting lots of it and putting it back in.

-Well done.

Evie, you're doing a great job with that broom.

Watch you don't sweep Jacob up, Evie!

I got caught in that broom.

-Is it nice working together?

-Yes.

-I'm just going to check if we're done.

-All right, then.

I'm making a pile over here for you.

Thank you, Evie.

When are you going to empty that in the sand pit?

I think we're going out to play now, Jacob.

Jacob, I think we can go and play now!

I finished now. It's all tidy.

This is much more easier.

Has all the sand been swept up?

Evie, you missed a bit.

Not quite!

Well done. Good teamwork!

BELL RINGS

Ms Mills has invited a special visitor to school.

We've got Andy, who is a real potter.

He's brought his potter's wheel

and he's going to show you how to make pots using clay.

OK, Andy, over to you.

Why are you putting water in your hand?

Because if I didn't use water, the clay will stick.

The water makes it easy for me to shape the clay.

Then I put a hole in the middle.

Look how Andy uses his hands to shape the clay just how he wants it.

Getting bigger and bigger!

I'm squeezing the clay with my fingers,

and when I squeeze the clay, it goes bigger.

Getting bigger!

-What do you think I'm making?

-CHILDREN: A pot!

A pot. Now, watch what I do now.

-Whoa, that's so cool!

-That's really cool!

What's that bit up there?

A spout.

A spout!

Well done. Why do I need a spout?

So you can tip it out!

That's right. Good. Well done.

-And what about a handle?

-A handle!

Anybody think why I can't put a handle on this now?

CHILDREN TALK OVER EACH OTHER

Well done. It's soft. This one is now hard. I can put a handle on it.

Make a wiggly worm and bend it and put it on.

A big, fat worm!

Bit of water, cos it makes it stick.

-Stick!

-It's a handle!

-That looks like a pan.

-Watch this. Going to get longer.

It looks like Pinocchio's nose. Look at it.

Yes, Pinocchio's nose.

-CHILDREN LAUGH AND CHATTER

-Don't take it off!

It's a cat!

And when that's dry...

-We can play with it?

-No.

Jacob's turn to make something with the clay.

Put it in the middle for you.

Use your two hands, like that. Just push down.

Use all your strength.

Try and make it wider.

That's good. Well done. We got a natural here! Look at that!

Now get a nice shape there, just use your fingers to make a nice edge.

Nice and gentle with your hands, Jacob!

I think that looks nice. What does it look like?

What do you think you've made?

-It's a bowl.

-A bowl? Yes.

That's very good. Excellent.

It's a lovely bowl! Well done.

Look! It's Amelie's turn with the clay.

Put your hand here, up against the clay. Now push down.

-What's it feel like?

-Soft.

Soft. Right. That's a nice shape.

Well done. Now, try and make that hole bigger.

Can you see how Amelie shapes the bowl?

That's it. See, it's getting bigger.

Good.

All finished!

Did you like that? Wash your hands in the bucket.

-TEACHER:

-What do we say to Andy?

CHILDREN: Thank you!

Time to go home!

Mama, you won't believe what we've done today!

We had a potter's wheel in today. You should've seen it.

-Did you make...

-Amazing! Like, a proper potter's wheel.

-Well done!

-She was a complete natural at it, weren't you?

You loved it, didn't you?

AMELIE GIGGLES

See you tomorrow, Amelie!

-Who is it?

-Papa!

Jacob has a lovely surprise! His grandparents are waiting for him.
