We go to Tiddlywinks Nursery School three mornings every week
with our friend, Kerry.
Hi, Dominique, how are you doing?
Today, we're all going to be given parts in the nursery school play.
Come on, let's go!
I want to know who I am in The Three Little Pigs.
Of course, the play, how exciting!
I want to be a little pig. Oink-oink!
Me too! Oink-oink!
- Do you want to be a pig as well, Kerry? - Oink-oink-oink!
- Let me help you with your helmets. There we go. - Oink-oink!
Good oinking, Tim. Now let me get your helmet on.
Here we go, Tim, let me get your helmet on. Good boy.
- You are scratching your head a bit. Is it itchy? - Yes. Oink-oink!
- Did you, did you see the e-mail from the nursery school last week? - What?
- Yeah, oh, nits, of course. - Well, it just might be. - Nits?
Put your helmet by the kettle for me.
I need as much light as possible.
'Mummy tells us that our teacher, Miss Maypole,
'sent an e-mail saying some children at nursery have nits.'
'Mummy checks Tim's hair.'
If you could not itch your head for me for just a minute.
- I know it's itchy but just hold off. - Oh, yes.
Yes, you've definitely got nits, Tim.
Nits make your hair itchy.
I know that.
- Can we go to nursery now, please? - Oh, no, I'm sorry, Topsy.
- Until I've got rid of Tim's nits, you can't go to nursery. - Oh!
- Topsy, has your head been itching? - Yes, a bit.
- How about yours, Kerry? - No.
- Mine is very itchy! - Oh, Tim!
That's it, Kerry, keep your head nice and still.
How did Tim get nits, Mummy?
Nits can spread from head-to-head when children play together.
- What are nits? - They're little eggs that get in your hair
and when they hatch they make your head itchy.
- All clear, Kerry, no nits for you. - Good!
Right, Topsy, sit down for me. Let's have a check of your hair.
Yes, I'm afraid you've got nits like Tim, Topsy.
- I don't want any nits! - Don't worry, Topsy,
- I had nits when I was your age. - Get them out please, Mummy!
- We all did, darling, don't worry. - Really?
- It's how I know I can get rid of them. - Don't worry, Topsy.
Mummy will make everything better. Sit down.
Right, Topsy and Tim. I need to comb your hair.
- This is a special nit comb to get rid of nits. - Right, time to go, Kerry.
- Come on. - Why aren't Topsy and Tim coming to nursery today?
They need to stay here so I can get rid of their nits
- so they don't pass them on. BOTH: - Ohh!
Let's see them out.
But we can't miss nursery today!
- What about The Three Little Pigs? - Don't worry.
I'll ask Miss Maypole about your parts in the play, I promise.
Thanks, Dominique.
- Bye! - Bye, Topsy and Tim. - Bye, Kerry.
Thanks, Dominique, see you later.
It's not fair!
'So we don't go to nursery.
'We stay at home and Mummy combs the nits out of my hair.'
It feels all slimy, Mummy.
Why have you put hair conditioner in my hair?
It makes it easier to comb the nits out.
I've got sticky-uppy ears like the three little pigs.
- Look at me, Topsy! - She's still upstairs, Tim.
- Mummy? - Mmm. - When will Topsy come down?
I'll go up and get her once I've finished your hair.
Hi, Topsy. What are you doing in there?
We're having carpet time like we have at nursery school.
Oh, Topsy!
- You really wanted to go to nursery school today, didn't you? - Yes.
Will we still get our parts in the play, even though we're not there?
Miss Maypole will make sure you still get a part. You'll see. Now, come on.
- I want Little Moon Bunny. - You get Little Moon Bunny, there you go.
Let's go and get rid of those nits
- so we can get you back to nursery school tomorrow. - Yay!
Nearly there, Topsy.
It is taking ages!
- Well, your hair is longer than Tim's. - Watch me!
MUSIC STARTS
'I put on some special nit music.
'And danced for Topsy.'
I do a nit dance!
All clear, Topsy.
I've got no nits!
- I've got no-nit hair too. - We can dance to no nits!
Right, Topsy, you're all done.
I will have to check you another day both of you,
- to check there are definitely no more nits, OK? - OK, Mummy. - Thank you!
SHE LAUGHS Good dancing!
Right, Topsy, we need to get your hair washed
and dried like Tim's and get you ready for nursery. Follow me!
'Mummy washes my hair.
'And dries and brushes it. And then...'

Kerry and Dominique came round on their way home from nursery school.
Guess what, I'm going to be a little pig in the play, oink-oink-oink!
- I hope I'm a little piggy, too! Oink-oink. - You might be, Topsy.
Miss Maypole gave Kerry these to give to you both.
Inside it tells you what part you've been given.
- What part have I got, Mummy? - Let's have a look. - Am I a little pig?
- Oh! No, you're a house! - A house?
- A house. - Yes, you're the house the little pigs build.
I know that but it's not a proper part.
Miss Maypole said it's a really good part.
- You get to play all three houses, Tim. - Yes!
And Topsy, this is that you are the Big Bad Wolf!
Yes! Raah!
I'm a house made of straw!
SHE PUFFS
I missed you today, Topsy and Tim.
'And that is when Kerry said...
' "Will you still come to nursery school when you move house?" '
Will you still come to nursery school when you move house?
We will, won't we, mummy?
- We want to do all of the nursery plays with Kerry. - Of course you can.
I don't know what we'd do without our special friend, Kerry.
ALL: Oink-oink-oink!
BOTH: And that, said Mummy, was that.
- Hello. - Are you good at remembering?
Can you remember what happened to us today?
This is our Topsy and Tim memory game. Let's play!
Today, we had itchy heads
but can you remember what Mummy used to comb the nits out of our hair?
Was it a hairbrush?
Or was it a nit comb?
The answer is behind the cloud.
Look, the answer is a nit comb.
Watch this.
- All clear, Kerry, no nits for you. - Good!
Right, Topsy, sit down for me. Let's have a check of your hair.
- Yes, I'm afraid you've got nits like Tim, Topsy. - I don't want nits!
Don't worry, Topsy, I had nits when I was your age.
Get them out, please, Mummy!
- We all did, darling, don't worry. - Really?
It's how I know I can get rid of them.
Don't worry, Topsy, Mummy will make everything better. Sit down.
- That's it. - Right, Topsy and Tim. I need to comb your hair.
- This is a special nit comb to get rid of nits. - Right, time to go, Kerry.
Great game!
- That was good fun. - See you soon!
