The series will also assist with music, history, geography and cross-curricular themes. These will include cultural heritage, education for mutual understanding and health education. Tape Recording Where possible, it would be an advantage to tape-record programmes. By using the pause button sections of the broadcast can be discussed leading to greater understanding or appreciation. Many of the songs are very attractive and the children may well want to learn them or hear them again. bbc.co.uk/ni/schools/potato 1 One Potato,Two Potato Autumn 2004 After the Broadcast Each programme will offer material for discussion.

It will accustom the class to respond to direct questions from the presenters and to think about and to analyse what they can hear. The main theme of this week’s programme is buses. Story Each night when the Number Nine Bus was put into the garage and when all the men had gone away he would sigh to himself – “Oh I’m so tired, I’m getting old. I’ll never be able to work in the morning. I wish they would give me a new set of tyres, my wheels are killing me.” Today’s story follows the adventures of the Number Nine Bus when one morning it didn’t start. But instead of going to the scrap-yard, Number Nine was converted into a Playbus. Song The Wheels on the Bus bbc.co.uk/ni/schools/potato 3 All Around the Countryside One Potato, Two Potato Verse 2 The horn on the bus goes peep, peep, peep…… Verse 3 The mums on the bus go chatter, chatter, chatter…… Verse 4 The dads on the bus go nod, nod, nod…… Verse 5 The kids on the bus go wriggle, wriggle, wriggle…… Run, Jump, Hop, Skip (All Around the Countryside) There was a little man and he liked to run All around the countryside. He’d run and jump and hop and skip All around the countryside. He ran to Donaghadee just to see the sea And out to Millisle where he rested for a while. He scampered up to Larne where he bumped into a barn Then he nearly had a fall on the beach at Cushendall. Chorus Run, jump, hop, skip, merrily away Jog, jog, jig, jog, jog along a day. Run, jump, hop, skip, merrily away All around the countryside. He jogged up to Portrush and he jumped over a bush, He ran down to Coleraine and he stopped to watch a train. He hopped out to Strabane where he met a man called Dan, Who warmly shook his hand before he skipped away again. He ran to Dromore but his feet were getting sore, So he walked to Letterbreen where he dipped them in a stream. He limped to Derrylin where he tripped and bumped his shin, And that’s why he jumped for joy when he arrived in Aughnacloy. He ran to Portadown and he sauntered through the town, He sang a happy song and he jogged to Annalong. Then he ran up to Lough Neagh where the people heard him say, ‘I think I’ll have to stay ‘cause I’ve run far enough today.’ I’ve jumped across the Sperrins and run around Lough Erne, I’ve had some tea in Lisnaskea, Rostrevor and Lisburn. I’ve hopped the Mourne Mountains and the Strangford Lough so wide. For I love to jump and hop and skip around the countryside.

What was it like when people had a fi replace in the kitchen, and no fridges or running water? Story A very long time ago, nearly one hundred years, a brother and sister were playing on the fl oor with their toys. Oliver was six, almost seven and Alice his wee sister, was just three. Actually she was a bit of a nuisance at times – always interrupting Oliver when he was concentrating and the thing he loved to concentrate on was his toy train set.
