# Time for school. #

It's a lovely morning in Lowick.

Chase me!

Watch out! Here comes Davy and his big sister, Dorrit.

Mitchell is taking things a bit slower.

Today, Mrs Fieldhouse is using crowns with letters on

to teach sounds.

You've got to find which thing begins with this sound.

Lemon.

So, if it's lemon, put it in the "l" crown.

So you put the right things in the right crowns.

Have a go, Mitchell.

See if you can do one of them.

This one goes here.

Orange. Is he right?

Yes.

Tomato, yes.

Where should Mitchell put the pear?

P for pear.

-Say it out loud what it is.

-Apple.

-So where's it going to go?

-Here.

-Are you sure?

-No, that's not an "a".

-Is that "a"?

-Yes.

What are those?

-Banana.

-And what does banana start with?

-Starts with that.

-What is that?

I can't see.

A "b".

And those are?

Put them into "e".

"E" for?

-ALL: For eggs.

-Yes, "e" is for eggs.

Give him a little ripple of applause.

Now, can you get a green

or a gold crown

and find something that begins with these sounds?

Now, if it's something too big,

perhaps we could just take a photograph of it.

-Right then?

-Iz...

ALL: Izzy-whizzy let's get busy!

Pick a crown.

"W".

Put it on while you're looking for something.

Look! Mitchell has the "w" crown.

OK, go looking for something beginning with "w".

Libby has the "k" crown.

Davy is king of the "m".

Wuh... Wellies.

What will Tyler be looking for?

Something beginning with "v".

V-volcano. Volcano.

I got "volcano" so it begins with "v".

I found "volcano".

This is a sofa. so sofa begins with...?

"Fff".

"Sss".

If you've already done it, help the others.

Davy, please can I help you?

I'm finished, but...

Has Mitchell found something beginning with "w"?

Oh, fantastic!

Come and put it down.

Right, now take that off and put the wellies in there.

Yes, "w" for "wellies".

Found anything beginning with "m" yet, Davy?

I found something beginning with "m". Mitchell.

Mitchell. Very good!

I found something beginning with "m". It's you.

Right, in that case we need to take a photograph of Mitchell.

Libby has found something beginning with "k".

A kangaroo.

He can't fit inside.

Let him wear the crown.

It's a kangaroo king!

If you put that on...

So, this is "m" for Mitchell.

Have you got it? OK.

Er... Is there anything else we could get?

Yes, I could find a man.

A man? Excellent!

We could replace you with a figure of a man.

Ah! A man!

Mitchell can put his "m" down and you can...

Put it down on the floor.

"M" for "man".

Well done, Davy.

Marvellous!

BELL RINGS

Play time, everyone!

There's one down there!

Charlie wants to play bat and ball with Mitchell.

That's a big hit! Quick, Mitchell, chase the ball.

Nice one, Mitchell!

Now, it's Charlie's turn to run.

That's the wrong ball, Charlie!

Missed it, Mitchell!

Break time is over and so is the game.

After break, it's more practice with letters

for Mitchell and his friends.

They're going to paint letters with Mrs Fieldhouse.

Mitchell's finding it hard to keep the letters inside the box.

It should be looking like a "sss".

Wow! Abby, that's fantastic!

On the next line down, we're doing an "a".

See?

And down. Perfect.

-Did it!

-Put a bit more paint in. You did!

Come on, Mitchell, from there.

Try again, Mitchell!

I haven't got enough room.

-Do you know?

-What?

You had exactly the right shape, but you squashed it

because we've got a thicker brush.

So, Abby, what do you think we're doing on the next line?

"T".

THEY LAUGH

I've got so many clever sausage dogs here!

THEY GIGGLE

-I didn't know!

-We're not sausage dogs!

You are, and you've got curly tails and they wag.

Round...

Perfect, and then arm across.

That's very neat, Abby.

Look at that!

And down, down, down, down, down...

And, take it off and do across...

Look at that!

Isn't it good?! That's perfect.

"Sss".

"A", "I".

Well done, Mitchell!

With more practice, everyone's letter writing will get better.

I can just use my hairbrush.

Look! Poppy is brushing her hair.

What's this lady doing?

My hair is flat.

The boys are checking their hair, too.

What a bright light!

It's silky.

Mrs Fieldhouse helps with Erin's hair.

Is that a camera?

Ms Caruthers is a photographer.

She has come to take pictures of the children

in their school uniforms for their mummies and daddies.

Say, "cheese!"

BOTH: "Cheese!"

You look beautiful!

Libby's mum has come to help.

When you have your picture taken, put your glasses there.

No, I'll put them there.

You'll look like an old schoolmistress with them there!

I like doing it there.

I don't think you should!

THEY GIGGLE

Right, sit up nice and straight. Put your hands just there.

Oh, keep smiling.

Keep on smiling. Can you giggle at me?

Go on!

Oh, no?

Look at the camera again. Perfect!

Mum will love that picture.

Whose turn is it next, Pandra?

-Where's "D"?

-Er...

Davy.

Yes.

THEY GIGGLE

And Dorrit.

Davy has his picture taken with his family.

I'm just going to...

Right, you come out just a second. Stand on there.

Together.

-Now, big smiles from everyone.

-Older brother Mo...

-Gorgeous!

Sister Dorrit.

-Put that tongue away, Cedric.

-And baby brother Cedric.

Cedric. Boo! There he is!

Boo! What a giggly lot you are!

Look at my camera. One, two, three. Gorgeous!

Well done. Can you get down?

-Don't they look happy?

-Who's next?

Hello, my darling!

-Now it's Pandra's turn.

-Can you climb up?

-Say "sausages!"

-Sausages!

Well done! That was great.

-Go on, then, you can get down.

-Look, Mitchell is next in line.

Who's next? Is it just you by yourself?

-Yeah.

-Come on then. Have a seat on there.

Sit right on so you're nice and comfy. Big smiling.

Can you say "sausages"?

-Sausages.

-Aw! Perfect.

Pop that tongue away. It's peeking out.

Gorgeous.

Well done, Mitchell.

Lots of lovely photos taken for all the mums and dads.
