  Speaker 1: people who are blind or have other disabilities that make

  Speaker 1: it difficult to read printed material. Today we will be

  Speaker 1: reading from various books on Back to School. Your reader

  Speaker 1: today is Diane. We will begin with the story Rufus

  Speaker 1: Goes to School. It was published by Sterling Children's Books.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: It has a copyright year of 2013. The author of
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: our book is Kim T. Griswell. Every day, Rufus Leroy
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Williams III turned the pages of his favorite book. He
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: looked at every picture. He made up stories to go
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: with them, but he could not read the words. Rufus
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: knew just what to do. He would go to school
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and learn to read. But first, he needed a backpack.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Early the next morning, Rufus scuttled down the street to school.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: He peeked through the front door. Then he trotted down
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the hall to the principal's office. He was greeted by
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the principal's secretary. Principal Lippitt's secretary knocked on his door.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: There's a pig to see you. Rufus stepped forward. My
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: name is Rufus Leroy Williams III, he said. I have
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: a backpack and I am ready for school. The principal
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: shook his head. No pigs in school? Why not? asked Rufus.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Because pigs track mud in the halls, said Principal Lippitt.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: They turn the drawings into airplanes. They play leapfrog in class,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and they start food fights in the cafeteria. Rufus frowned.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: But I have a backpack. Makes no difference, said Principal Lippitt,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: and he showed Rufus to the door. Rufus Leroy Williams
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: III really wanted to go to school, and he knew
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: just what he needed. A lunchbox. Right before lunchtime, the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: secretary poked her head into Principal Lippitt's office. The biggest fact.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: she whispered my name is rufus leroy williams the third
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: he said i have a backpack and a lunchbox i
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: am ready for school the principal folded his arms no
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: pigs in school why not asked rufus because pigs knock
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: over the block tower said principal whippet and they hide
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: under the teacher's desk pigs draw stick figures on the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: chalkboard he waggled his finger at rufus and they chased
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: their classmates during recess. But I have a backpack and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a lunchbox, Rufus frowned. Makes no difference, said Principal Lippitt,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and he waved Rufus out the door. Rufus Leroy Williams
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: III really, really wanted to go to school, and he
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: knew just what he needed, a blanket. During that time,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the secretary opened Principal Lippitt's door. Sir, Rufus Leroy Williams
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: III The third rushed past her. I have a backpack,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a lunchbox, and a blanket, and now I'm really ready
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: for school. The principal sighed. I told you, no pigs. Wait,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: said Rufus. I will never blow bubbles in my milk
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: or finger paint my classmates. I will not stand on
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: my head during nap time or leave nose prints on
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the windows, and I will come to school every day. Sorry,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the principal shook his head. No pigs in school. But
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I have a backpack, a lunchbox, and a blanket, said Rufus.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Is that all? asked the principal. Rufus frowned. What else
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: could he need for school? I have this, Rufus held
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: up his favorite book, and I want to learn to read. Ah,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Principal Lippitt smiled. That makes a difference. He escorted Rufus
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: out of his office and down the hall. This is
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Rufus Leroy Williams III, Principal Lippitt announced as they entered
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: a classroom. and he will be joining your class. Hooray,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: shouted the boys and girls. Rufus Leroy Williams III put
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: away his backpack, his lunchbox, his blanket, and his favorite book.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: He was ready for school. Rufus loved learning the ABCs,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: especially the letter P. He loved learning the one, two, threes.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: He loved lunchtime and naptime, but Rufus loved storytime most
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: of all. Because it gave him room to dream. Our

  Speaker 1: at home. and talking about what school might be like.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Jasmine chats with her mom about the exciting things she
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: will do at school. Her mom tells her that school
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: will be fun. There will be lots of new things
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to try. At school, there will be a hook with
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: your name where you can hang your coat. Veronica has
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: been practicing putting on her shoes and coat. Shoes with
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Velcro can be easier than those with laces and buckles.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Adam likes to practice writing his name. He's found lots
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: of fun ways to do it. In the sand, with
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: some chalk, and usually using modeling clay. When you use
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the toilet, make sure you wipe yourself clean with toilet
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: paper afterward. Then flush the toilet and wash and dry
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: your hands. I can use the toilet all by myself.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I can wash my hands. One, wet your hands with water. Two,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: squirt on some soap. Three, rub the soapy water all
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: around in between your fingers, front and back. Do this
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: for as long as it takes to sing the song

  Speaker 1: Happy Birthday twice. Four, rinse off the soap. Five, dry
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: your hands. On the way. It's important to stay safe

• 9:32
  Speaker 1: different ways the children who will be in Miss Molly's
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: class get to go to school. Getting the bus. Some
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: children travel on a school bus and others are driven
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in a car. Seatbelts and car seats help us keep
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Safe in vehicles. Crossing safely. A crossing guard stops the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: traffic so the children can cross the road safely. Make
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: sure to look and listen both ways before you cross
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the road. Always cross at a safe place. and hold
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: on to an adult's hand. How do you get to school?
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Do you travel in a bus or car or do
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you walk? Walking to school, living or babysitting or walk
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: to school, wearing special bright clothes make it easier for
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: people in cars to see them. This is very important
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: when it starts. My clothes make me stand out when
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: lights shine on them. Hurry up, Dad. Protective helmets help
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: keep cyclists safe. I can draw my network hand. If
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: you feel worried about anything at all, it is good
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to talk to a grown-up about it. Make a list
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of people you can talk to by drawing a network hand. First,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: draw around your hand. Then draw pictures and write the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: names of five adults who you feel safe to tell
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: any worries to around it. They may be... people in
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: your family, or teachers at school. The first day. Starting
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: school is a big day for the children in Ms.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Smiley's class. They feel different things as they walk through
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the school gates. How do you feel about starting school?
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Do you feel excited, shy, happy, confused, nervous, or something else?
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I remember my first day here. I am excited. I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: can't wait to make new friends and learn new things.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I feel shy about meeting new people. I'm glad my
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: daddy is with me. Adam holds onto his caretaker's hand
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: tightly as he does not know where to go. Adam's
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: caretaker has told him not to worry as she will
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: go inside with him. Libby feels confused as it's all
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: so different from home. Nathan is bursting with happiness. He
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: loves playing outside and can't wait to run around the playground.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I can make a feelings wheel. Ask an adult to
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: draw a circle split into five parts. the face in
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: each part to show a different feeling. Use your will
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to talk about how you feel about starting school. In
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the classroom. Look, Miss Smiley is waiting to say hello
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to her new class as they arrive. Their parents and
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: caretakers can go inside with them on their first day.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Nico feels braver already. Hello, Nico. Welcome to your new school.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Coat pegs. Anna's caretaker shows him his peg where he
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: will hang his coat. Adam is glad he has learned
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to read his name, and it helps him to find
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: his pay. I can spot my name. What things can
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: you spot your name on? You can see it on
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the labels on your school bag and on your water bottle.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Can you make the shape of the letter your name
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: begins with in the air or with your finger? What's
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: for lunch? The children choose their lunch from the school's
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: menu in the morning. The pictures show lunch for today.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Rafael loves macaroni and cheese, so he puts his name
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: next to that. Some children bring a packed lunch into
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: school from home. What would you bring? Circle time. The
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: children are quiet on the carpet so they can hear
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: when Miss Smiley calls out their name. Good morning, Sarah.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Miss Smiley. Tom raises his hand to ask
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: a question. Our schedule. This shows what Ms. Smiley's class
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: might do in a day. They have lessons as well
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: as times when they can choose what to do. Morning. Literacy.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: This is about using letters and words. Raphael guesses which
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: picture begins with a sound. Vera is good at writing
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the letter her name begins with. Discovery time. Everyone can
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: choose what to play with and discover new things together.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Clean up time. Snack time. Everyone has a drink and
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: chooses a healthy snack. Outside time. The children run around
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: outside in the fresh air. Numbers. This is all about
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: learning to count. The children are exploring how they can
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: make four. Then it's lunch time. Then the afternoon. Phonics.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: This is learning about letters and sounds. A snake can hiss.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: The word hiss ends in a s. Discovery time. Children
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: can learn to do things outside or inside. Story time.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: It's good to calm down after a busy day before
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: we go home. Pick up time. It's time to meet
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: parents and caretakers. I can get excited. Think about what
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: you most look forward to doing at school. You could
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: look through this book to help you decide. What do
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you like about it? Settling in. Ms. Smiley shows the
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: children around their classroom. There are so many interesting things
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: to do. Jamal thinks it will take him a while
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: to remember where everything is. I have my own drawer
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: for my things. Ask me or our teaching assistant, Mrs. Latif,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: if you forget where something is. What things can Nico see, hear, smell,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and touch on the sensory table? Clean something up when
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: you have finished this kind. It makes it easier to
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: find for the next person to use it. The book corner.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Maddie and Sophia can believe how lucky they are to
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: have all these books in their classroom. Ms. Lateef helps Ms.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Smiley look after the children. Outside. Ms. Smiley's classroom is
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: a large outside area where there are lots more activities

• 17:14
  Speaker 1: The school is a big place and there are lots
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: of other rooms besides Miss Smiley's classroom. Miss Smiley takes
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the children around and shows them other parts of the school.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: The people who work in the office know everything that
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: happens in the school and all the students. They also

  Speaker 1: help parents and caretakers with any questions they may have.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: The children meet the principal, Mr. Bright. He has a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: very big job. He looks after the whole school. Hello,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Emmett and Isaac. How do you like your new school?
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: We love it. The quiet room is a peaceful spot
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: sometimes used by children instead of the classroom. I like
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: coming here. It's a safe place for me to feel calm.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: And then there's the library. You can borrow books on
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: lots of different topics from a library. The janitor helps
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: to keep the school clean and fixes things that are broken.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I can discover new things. Ask an adult to take
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: you to a library and find a book on something new.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Ask them to read it to you. Tell a friend
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: something new that you have learned. Making friends. Some of
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the children find it easy to make new friends and
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: others don't. Some have friends that are noisy and others
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: that are quiet. Some have friends might be a bit
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: bossy and others can be shy. My name's Jamal. What
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: are your names? I'm Adam. I'm Libby. Do you have
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: any pets? Questions. Think of two or three questions you
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: could ask other children when you talk to them. Things
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: in common. Jamal likes building things and has made two
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: new friends who enjoy building things too. New games. Some
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: of the children are playing together in the kitchenery. It's
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: fun to pretend to make lunch. If someone is a
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: bit shy, you could ask them to join in with you.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: New games. Farrah asks Meg if she wants to join
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: in the clapping game. I haven't played this before. We'll
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: show you. Take turns. Sophia and Rosie are outside. They
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: take turns to ride on the blue scooter. Lunchtime. Before
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Miss Molly's class goes to lunch, they wash their hands.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Then they are taken to the cafeteria, each child having
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: a school lunch. Where's the color wristband to show the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: food they have chosen? You're having macaroni and cheese, Raphael.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Some children bring a pack lunch with them. What did
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I pick? Raphael has forgotten the food he chose for today,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: so the lunch helper reminds him. him. A helping hand,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: as well as lunchtime helpers, older children from the school
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: help out on the first few days. If you see
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: someone on their own, it's kind to ask them if
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: they would like to sit with you. It's loud. Some
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: people like noise and some don't. Tino finds the cafeteria noisy.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: He wears headphones so it's not so loud. Aisha, would
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: you like to sit with us? Yes, please. Recycling. It
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: helps our plan if we recycle our trash. Plastic can
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: be made into other things and food can be turned
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: into compost. I can make a healthy snack pot. Make
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: a fruit or vegetable snack pot. Wash a container such
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: as a yogurt container. Choose your snacks and ask an
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: adult to chop them. Wash and arrange in the pot
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: and add some dip if you like. Enjoy. What will
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: we learn? This month, Ms. Smiley's class is finding out
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: all about the sea and the animals that live in it.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Adam has discovered that dolphins talk to each other in
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: clicks and whistles. I'm making the clicking noises dolphins make.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: This sounds like waves on a sandy beach. Shipwreck. The
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: home corner has been turned into a shipwreck and the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: children have found treasure. What treasure have they found? Sea sounds.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Adam and Sierra make sounds that remind them of the sea.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Sink or float. Sophia and Rosie are finding and sorting
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: things that float and sink. Can you guess if the
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: plastic rings will float or sink? Sea creatures. Look at
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the super underwater picture Jamal's painting. Can you see the octopus?
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: C begins with sound and the letter looks like a
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: curly snake. Learning letters. Everyone learns in different ways. Isaac
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: gets extra help with his writing. The end of the day.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: After a busy first day, it's time to clean up
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: and then sit quietly on the carpet to listen to
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: a story before going home. Miss Smiley reads a story
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: about a fish, which fits in with their C topic.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: A helper signs the words so Meg, who is deaf,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: can enjoy the story too. I can invent a character.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Invent a character for a story. Give them a name,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: draw a picture of them, and make up an adventure
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: for them to go on. Tell your story to a
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: friend or a teacher. Time to go home. After the story,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: a few children at a time collect their coats and
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: book bags, and everybody lines up to go home. It
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: takes a while for them all to get ready. Looking
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: at a book is a great way to relax after
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: a fun day. Book bags. Each child is given a
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: book bag to take books home in. Sarah can't wait
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: to look inside. Her bag has a bookmark and a
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: reading record so her parents can write notes to the teacher.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: After school, Miss Smiley knows who is picking up every child.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: The children make sure they know who is picking them
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: up too. Libby's babysitter will look after her until her
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: dad picks her up later. My day. Libby can't wait
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: to tell her babysitter all about her first day at school.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: After school club. Some of the children go straight to
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the cafeteria for after school club. There are lots of
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: activities to try. What have they chosen? Chen and Veronica
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: play snakes and ladders. Nico, Isaac, and Henri make things
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: at the craft table. Letting off steam. As soon as
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Nathan gets home, he grabs his bike and rushes out
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: into the yard to ride around. What did you like
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: to do when you get home? Play date. Rosie's friend
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Sophia has come over to play. They love playing with
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Rosie's dog, Charlie. Tell your family or even your pet
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: if you have one all about your dad's school. I
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: can make a fort. Make a fort to relax in
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: after school. Put some chairs back to back with space
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: in between for your fort. Then hang a large sheet
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: or blanket over them. Put some blankets inside and ask
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: an adult to hang some fairy lights. The first week.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: With each new day, the children get to know what
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: they like doing. They look forward to their favorite things
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and enjoy trying some exciting new activities. Music. Jamal loves
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: singing and clapping to the beat while Mrs. Bell, the
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: music teacher, plays her guitar and sings. Cooking. The children
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: are making snack bars. Yum. Miss Smiley helps. Tom tipped
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: the oats into the mixing bowl. Junk modeling. The children
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: had an amazing afternoon cutting, sticking, and fixing boxes and
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: tubes together. Andre is proud of her model. Can you
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: guess what she has made? Gardening. There are some vegetable
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: beds outside. The children learn that plants need soil, water,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: and sunlight to grow. The seeds Jasmine has planted are
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: growing into pea plants. Get moving. Being active helps our
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: bodies and minds stay healthy and happy. Henri is so
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: excited as her class is having their first gym class.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Mixing up. The children try different ways of moving. They
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: go on things, under things, around things, and through things.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: All bodies are different. We are all good at different things.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: They may need extra help sometimes. We have changed them
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: to loose clothes and sneakers so it's easier to move around.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I have name labels on my gym bag and on
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: all my clothes so I don't lose them. See if
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: you can balance on one leg, Tom. Balancing is hard
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: not to wobble when you try to stand on one leg. Relaxation.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: At the end of gym class, it's time to lie
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: down and relax for a few minutes. The children stretch
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: out and wriggle their toes. In the hall, many events
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: happen in the big hall. It is often a place
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: for sharing. Today, Ms. Molly's class joined the other classes
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: for an assembly. Putting on a play. Sometimes the children
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: put on a play in the hall. The host school
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and families come to watch. Celebrating. Mr. Bright gives some
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: of the children in Ms. Molly's class stickers for their
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: good manners. They feel very proud. Singing. Mrs. Bell tells
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the children to look up and imagine they are singing
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: out loud to an audience. Showing our work. Some of
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: the class goes to the front to show the work
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: they have been doing to the other children. The rest
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: of the children sit quietly on the floor in rows.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Forest school. The children get ready to go to forest
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: school where they play and learn outside among the trees.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: They put on their boots and waterproof clothes. Bird sounds. Mr. Green,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the forest school teacher, teaches the children about the different
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: sounds birds make. Everyone keeps very quiet and listens out
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: for birds. I can make leaf-printed bugs. Paint underneath some leaves,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: then press the leaves onto paper to make leaf prints.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: When they are dry, add faces and legs to turn
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: them into beautiful bugs. Bug Hotel. Aisha and Isaac are
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: proud of the home they have made for bugs. They
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: have used things with lots of holes. For the bugs
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: to hide in. They build nests in too. We have
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: filled it with things bugs love to eat. Wonderful writing.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Before the children start writing words, they get used to
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: making patterns and shapes. Take a piece of paper and
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: try copying these patterns. Then go up and down and
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: across and around. Tip 1. Try writing with chunky crayons
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: and pencils, mini pencils, or a paintbrush. Tip 2. Trace
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the patterns in the error on the page with your finger.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Tip three, trace the patterns in sand with a stick
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: or the end of a wooden spoon. Here's some fun
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: things the children do that will help them with holding
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: a pencil. Try them for yourself. One, coloring in. Two, pouring. Three,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: twisting and opening lids. Four, shaping, modeling clay. Some children
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: find it easier to use their left hand and some
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: find it easier to use the right. Can you think
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: of some other things you can do with your hands?
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Nifty numbers. The children have made up a rhyme to
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: help them remember the order of numbers from 1 to 10.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: What counting rhymes do you know? 1, 2, a cow
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: goes smooth. 3, 4, jam on the floor. 5, 6,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: try some new tricks. 7, 8, I am late. 9, 10,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: let's sing it again. The children use different things to
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: help them add and subtract. They have made the same
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: number each time by adding and subtracting different numbers. I
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: can make five bricks by adding four bricks and one brick.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I've made five beds by adding... I can have five
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: beads by adding two beads and three beads. Look, I
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: have made five cubes by adding three cubes and two cubes.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I started with ten fingers and took away five fingers.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: That left me with five fingers. What's the highest number
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: you can count up to?
