We Go To School
Coronet Instructional Films Lovely colour
Pan across elementary school classroom - little boy George feeding chipmunks in cage; other kids cleaning blackboard. Teacher talking to new boy Jimmy, looks bored. VO says his family just moved to town - Jimmy wearing amazing clothes w/ miniature plus-fours & golf socks! George shows Jimmy classroom including the supply cupboard - VO re keeping everything in its place. Little girl rings bell; children sit down at small tables for lessons - clock 9am - Jimmy gets to sit with Tony, Vivian & Gretchen. Bags of counters or blocks handed out for arithmetic, Jimmy opens his but realises nobody else has so quickly puts counters back in bag - Tony smiles at him. Jimmy has worried look.
10:14:46 Kids get classroom ready for film screening; Jimmy helps Tony uncover projector. Lights off, kids watch film about counting & answer narrator’s questions. CU Jimmy counting number of chickens in coop on screen.
10:16:16 Kids into playground at recess. Jimmy looks around at other kids in winter coats playing on slide, basketball game; “teeter-totters” see-saws - joins in game of marbles in the dirt & lends Tony some of his because he’s been so nice to him. Tony wears a leather cap w/ flying goggles. Montage summarising how to behave at school, take turns & make friends. The End. Good.
