Nearly...
The first one. I was first to hear the first!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten...
eleven, twelve... 20, 21
250!
- 80 - 100!
A million. And two!
- You can't count! - Keep trying, Fred!
208, 209, 210!
211, 212, 213, 214, 215...
Mr Casey!
I can hear you out in the corridor.
Popcorn!
Popcorn.
We're doing a food project about maize.
- I thought that was nice. - And instructive?
Don't leave anything behind.
Clothes, sleeping bag, trunks, raincoat!
- Yes. - Okay.
Class of Fun goes Camping
Tuesday...
Wednesday...
Thursday...
Hey boy. Looking forward to it?
- You'll manage alone? - Of course I will. Look.
This is for camping.
It belonged to your dad.
To Dad?
Go on, hurry.
Otherwise you'll be too late.
Hey Sep, here it is of course. Your sleeping bag.
- You have to get some sleep at camp. - Yes, Dad.
Darling. Have a good pee before going to bed.
- All your pyjamas... - Yes, Mum. Stop!
You have your sleeping bag. Walking shoes?
Yes, Dad.
- Your trunks? - Yes, Dad.
It says we have to send you a card on Wednesday. What's today?
Have a nice time, Sep! You too, Tobias. Bye!
Farewell, boy! Good luck with the girls.
Bye, dears.
Have a good time.
One...
Two...
Three...
Four...
Five...
Six...
Sep and Tobias...
The journey nearly started without you.
Where is Casey anyway?
It's sweet of you to come... and say goodbye.
- Bye, then... - Yes, bye.
Casey!
- Everyone's waiting! - Sorry, I was...
Never mind what you were. Just be on time.
See you next week!
Bye...
See you next week.
And Teach? Did you kiss?
Nearly...
Things always get in the way.
At my last school, a teacher wore her lips out kissing.
She needed a lip transplant.
- Really? - You bet!
- She got monkey lips. - Hey kid, I'll bash you.
Casey...
Things like that aren't safe when you have a tight schedule.
It's time to go! Hurry up to the bicycles!
- Is everyone ready for camp? - Yeah.
No, it's a work-week.
A work-week filled with tasks and work.
- And now we're leaving! - We?
Come on, Casey. Go ahead.
You lead. I'm the sweeper.
Hurry, kids. Follow him.
Then he goes. Chivvy up. Choo-choo.
Okay, kids. Left is left and vice versa.
All in your own wake.
A work-week...
I thought it was going to be nice...
- Maybe we'll do nice work. - What did you say?
- Maybe we'll do nice work. - Sep and Tobias. is that a bag of candy?
No.
Very funny, Sep. We don't do that while cycling. Give it to me.
I mean to say. Candy and cycling. That'll cause accidents.
Very unsafe.
Stop!
Stop?
Casey, the schedule says we stop in 30 minutes.
Yes, but... someone has to go badly.
I hope it doesn't last too long.
I'm sure it won't.
Does anyone else need a pee?
Casey, I have an idea.
To maintain the schedule, you stay with the kids peeing and I'll go to camp.
- But... - It's simple.
Straight on their left, right, left, roundabout third exit.
Straight on and your there.
Keep them together and see you later.
What now, Teach?
You know what's important on a day like today?
Getting enough to drink.
Certainly if you've just had a pee.
Yes!
My mother isn't home my mother was at home
I think we're nearly there!
That's quite a nail!
Sorry...
Never mind, kid.
This is just fine!
It's an instructive work-week! So learn to mend a puncture.
Watch me closely. We're going...
Oh wait... a bicycle pump.
Shall I ask for one there?
Young man? Can I help you?
Can we borrow a bicycle pump?
Kids, I think we have a small problem.
You don't know where we're going, Teach?
Well, basically... I thought it was here, but...
Now it looks as if it's there.
- No need to put your hand up, Aukje. - I didn't, Teach. Look at the sign.
Sea Dune Farm? Sea Dune Farm is our campsite.
3.7 kilometres. Guys, it's that way.
Teach...
Was your father buried or cremated.
My father was buried.
Under the ground. With the tombstone and every week my mother puts a plant there.
She waters it and says "watch out, Jan, it's going to rain".
Every week?
Yes, otherwise it wilts.
Come on, we have to go.
Have you been touring the country?
- That's a long way round. - We'd only be half there.
It was a metaphor. We're hours behind.
Hurry. Come on. Hurry!
Casey, you have a lotto learn about using a schedule.
Sorry, Mrs Dreus.
A work-week is just like class.
Everything has to be on time!
Tonight you can sleep in the barn and pitch your tent tomorrow!
But first food. Hurry! We're hours behind.
Casey...
All those delays mean I have to reschedule.
Here is Koos with the food!
So you are the trainee!
- I am Casey. - Teach Casey!
Casey! Is that right? Then I'm Cosey.
Enjoy your meal!
Mr Koos? What are we eating?
Well. Just tasty. Good Dutch food!
Enjoy your meal!
I think this is mashed potato.
But it smells of cauliflower.
No, this is cauliflower.
- It looks like pudding. - Cauliflower pudding?
- It's all pudding. - You can tell by their colour.
I think this is...
a very new recipe, sort of.
It's quite tasty.
Okay guys, you heard. Eat up!
Sep. I don't have pyjamas.
I mean... I forgot them.
I have six pairs.
Six? Why do you have six?
You want a pair?
Watch Casey.
What's up?
My mother made them for me.
Okay, kids!
It's late enough!
Tomorrow is a busy day!
Casey!
Staff meeting. Now.
Staff meeting. Of course.
- Milk or sugar, Casey? - Coffee?
Lots of sugar.
Casey.
The schedule.
- For the school trip? - For the work-week.
Tomorrow we start with gym, then we go trekking.
After that we put up the tent because you didn't today.
No... sorry, but...
The schedule, Casey, that's the basis...
for a successful work-week.
The schedule.
And safety, of course. Safety.
If that doesn't work, you'd be better off as a dogsbody.
Schedule and safety.
You can answer it.
- It's a text from Marie Louise. - Your fiance with that dog?
Not my fiance. We're still...
PUT UP TENT
Hey Teach.
Hi Tobias! Aren't you asleep yet?
No.
Sleep tight.
You too.
It's Dreus with a whistle.
Yes... dry!
Welcome the day.
1, 2, 3 up.
Teach, Teach...
- is this every morning? - I can't believe it will be.
Up we go to the dunes.
Only seven more dunes to climb. Not too bad, eh?
Did she say seven dunes to climb?
- She said instructive things? - Like learning to sweat!
At my last school we ran so fast...
that we ended up in Italy.
Really?
Yes, then we all had monkey ice cream.
You want to bash me.
Have a good sniff, kids.
What do you smell?
Dirty socks.
No Sep, you smell the woods!
The animals...
the moss...
the leaves...
and the mushrooms! Look!
A real green death cap!
Not edible, but...
- So that's a green death... - No.
Yes it is! Mrs Dreus said so.
- Death cap! - Green death.
Lovely... a death cap.
Are there any more around here?
Mrs Dreus? Have you lost a lens?
No. It's frozen.
Where is Casey?
I can't stand up again.
But...
But how will you get back to the camp site?
To avoid things like this, you have do some arithmetic, Casey.
Location plus duration.
Where are you? Are you home?
If not then how long have you been where you are now.
Casey, one has to bear these things in mind. And I didn't.
I did different exercises here and the floor is different.
I only did half my usual exercises this morning.
I usually exercise at home and now I only did half.
Kids!
Casey, don't let go! Casey!
I said: don't let go.
Careful.
Legs inside.
The adress...
- Here you are. - Casey.
There's no alternative, now you're on your own.
But I'm only a trainee.
I trust you to do your best.
Make sure the children are safe...
and keep to the schedule. Do things one by one.
- Then nothing can go wrong. - But what if something happens?
PHYSIOTHERAPIST
It says Buiskoolstraat.
Buiskoolstraat. That's where we have to go.
It's just that I can't find it.
Small letters...
4-B.
It's there.
Oh yes, now I can see it too.
So we go this way. I got it.
I left my glasses at home. That's it.
- But they're... - We have to go.
Just follow the schedule...
and it'll be just fine.
No more work week. No more work week.
Casey!
Kids...
We have a very tight schedule actually...
Really, Teach?
It says: "put up the tent".
The tent!
Let me do that!
I can pitch a tent in no time.
Lisa... cooperation is instructive.
At my last school I had to build a classroom, easy as pie.
Cooperation?
- Is this a tent or is it a tent? - This is a tent!
I thought so too.
- But Teach... - Yes, Aukje?
Where is the entrance?
The entrance...
Casey!
- Tim and Tom, the entrance... - We probably turned...
the construction.
Yes. They're right. The zipper is on the roof.
Ah. A roof zipper. Most unusual.
Teach... if there's a roof zipper, maybe there's also a
- ground zipper! - I wanted to say that. Inside from under.
Lovely.
- Let's check the schedule... - "Casey!"
for what to do.
We had to finish the tent by noon...
Now it's quarter to five.
Quarter to five?
We're four and three-quarter hours late.
What did we have to do in those four and three-quarter hours?
After pitching the tent, a difficult puzzle search!
Pitching the tent was quite a hunt for us wasn't it?
That really was a puzzle.
- A very difficult puzzle. - At least 1000 pieces!
Okay, Curly!
So now it's time...
for a game of soccer.
So you're doing all right?
Don't tell anyone, but I did eat tomorrow's pizza today.
Aren't I naughty?
Mum, when we...
cycled to the camp site, someone had a flat type and...
and then I went to fetch a pump.
We passed the spot where Dad is lying and...
I wondered whether you have ever been back there?
Mum?
Tobias, you know I have to...
I have to clean the oven or the pizza will stick to the base.
Yes... no, of course Mum...
or you'll never get rid of it.
It was a night a hundred times darker than tonight.
It was so dark that you couldn't even see the moon...
and the stars had all taken the night off.
And it was on that very night that a little boy lost his father in the forest.
Suddenly he took a wrong turn.
The boy roamed on his own from tree to tree...
and everywhere he heard strange voices.
"Come this way". "Take a left turn here".
"Walk straight on."
The voices called it reassuringly but the boy was not reassured.
Suddenly the boy reached a clearing, the clouds opened...
and moonlight shone down on the forest that night.
The grass looked as if it had been mown here...
white pebbles rustled under his feet...
in the middle of the clearing...
- he saw a lonely rock. - Eh, Teach...
I think this story is a little scary.
Yes, Teach. A little too scary.
For the girls.
Okay.
Two ghosts flew over the city.
One said to the other: "You dropped your handkerchief."
"No," said the other. "That's my little son, he can fly."
Sep, what are you doing?
Imitating a goldfish.
Are you okay?
Can you keep a secret?
No, I always give everything away.
I'm joking. Of course I can.
I sometimes still pee in bed.
That's why I stay awake. Then it can't happen.
All night long? You'll never make it.
I know. That's why I haven't drunk since yesterday.
What?
- Clever, eh? - No, Sep.
You dry out!
Only after seven days, so I'll just make it.
Seven days? Are you sure?
Almost sure.
No, Sep. That's dangerous. You have to tell Casey.
What do you have to tell me?
Nothing special. Go back to sleep.
Teach...
I know someone who still pees in bed.
Yes. And he hasn't slept or had any water for two days.
Do I know that person too?
I think that must be a nuisance.
How does that go when he's at home?
Then my mum always wakes me...
I can do that too.
Really?
I'll set my alarm and we can go together. No problem.
- It isn't? - It's better than drying out.
And I think I know someone...
who must be pretty thirsty.
That's how to do it.
Friends look after each other.
Casey.
Casey...
Okay kids...
- Today we're going... - To the beach?
Yes...
No...
On the beach... no that's only on sheet...
thirty-seven.
We have something else nice!
Today will do a treasure hunt... for trees.
- Trees? - Yes.
There are all kinds of tasks.
But Teach. Surely those tasks aren't instructive?
Instructive?
Instructive... it says so here.
But Teach, we really want a day on the beach!
Kids, it's a work week, remember?
Dreus said we have to stick to the schedule and that says treasure hunt.
But we did a treasure hunt yesterday: for the entrance to the tent.
Curly, Teach? Curly?
No kids...
Casey!
You eat this and I'll prepare the treasure hunt. I'll be back in half an hour, okay?
He's almost been gone an hour.
I'm sure he'll be back.
But he said just half an hour.
Maybe something happened.
- An accident maybe. - That's possible.
In a forest with fallen trees.
With holes. Maybe Casey is under a fallen tree.
- At my last school, we went... - Lisa! What?
I'll look for him.
- Tobias, wait! - It was only a joke.
Teach!
Are you dead?
Rest in peace.
I thought I'd do the treasure hunt myself.
Come on, let's go.
Hey kids. Look there!
- I don't think Casey would go inside. - No, nor do I.
At my last school, we went into a deserted building...
- and there were vampires. - No way.
Teach?!
Quiet! Nothing...
nothing. No vampires.
Teach!
Kids!
Where were you. We were searching.
I'm glad to see you too.
Now we're back together and safe!
You know what?
I think instead of a tree treasure hunt...
we can learn much more from a beach treasure hunt.
The beach!
Let's get the others!
Hello?
Hello, Casey?
Casey, can you hear me?
Mrs Dreus. Yes, hello.
Casey, I wanted to know if it's all okay.
Are you following the schedule?
Yes. It's just fine. Fine and on time, by the schedule.
We just did the treasure hunt and we're doing beach research, into...
The wonders of nature on the beach and...
construction with sand.
You're already on page thirty-seven?
That's great to hear, Casey. Keep it up.
And the children? They're all safe? No one sick?
No, it's all fine.
And you? How are you?
It's getting better.
Well...
get well soon.
Kids, it's time for the food project.
Popcorn?
I thought more a study of croquettes.
Here you are.
Great.
I remember my father.
His cheek felt like that before he shaved in the morning.
My father's cheek too.
Look...
this was my father's.
It's nice to have something from your father.
A special gift like that works as a talisman.
A talisman.
Something that helps you when it's difficult sometimes.
Here...
- I have one too. - Really?
Harley is my talisman!
I got it when my father died.
If I pet Harley, then I feel a little better afterwards.
Teach...
a grave like that...
What if no one goes to visit it?
A text from Marie Louise.
- How many is that? - The fourth today.
She misses me.
Four texts, Teach. That's a relationship!
You think so?
- But what should I text back? - That you can't live without her!
- That you're in love! - Or that you like her.
Is that cool? To text you like someone?
If Marie Louise really likes you, that's okay.
Teach, have you done it with her?
Really, Winston!
I mean kissed?
When we left, then...
nearly.
But then Dreus and you came round the corner.
But Teach! Dreus isn't here.
She has to come here!
- Who? Dreus? - No...
Marie Louise of course!
Dear Marie Louise, I can't live without you. If you come we can go fishing.
- You should write that, Teach! - Yes!
- Shouldn't eat, Aukje! - Yes, Lieke?
Lieke?!
Where is Lieke?
Oh, girl. Sorry.
Are you cold?
My Jacket.
Well done, Tobias.
Come on, kids.
- I'm so sorry, Lieke. - I'm not so cold anymore.
Good.
Lieke ls still a little cold, but...
she's feeling a lot better.
Fortunately.
Come on, kids. Brush your teeth and go to bed.
- Won't we have a campfire, Teach? - Campfire, no...
If that went wrong to...
Casey...
Safety.
Aren't you a sleep yet?
It all worked out fine.
Yes, but...
If I mess up the rest of the work week, I'll probably be a dogsbody.
A dogsbody?
Come on, it's late. We need to sleep.
Sleep tight.
I just want you to be a teacher.
Mrs Dreus.
9 o'clock...
No morning gym?
Casey!
Dreus!
- Kids... - Children?
The schedule. We should have been up long ago.
If Dreus find out.
Morning gym and breakfast and...
we haven't finished a single task.
And I forgot you. And everything keeps going wrong.
Never mind Teach. Everyone makes mistakes.
And you solved it all fine.
Tell Dreus we are cleaning the toilets.
Yes! Doing fatigues!
That's on the schedule too.
- Yes, but you're here. - Just leave that to us.
Fatigues? Already?
Yes.
You swapped that with morning gym?
Yes? Yes.
Fine. Then we'll mark...
Mrs Dreus...
I have to confess something.
Yes... look... the children and I...
Casey.
I wanted to do it right, but...
- It's... - Yes?
I kept failing at...
keeping order?
Yes, but...
I kept failing at...
- Getting to bed on time? - Yes, that too, but...
- I didn't manage to... - To raise the flag.
I can see. How slovenly. That's a disappointment.
- The pride of the school! - Leave it to me.
Will quickly clean the toilets and then start morning gym.
And then we'll do everything just as Dreus wants. Exactly!
Agreed?
Everything.
What?
It's Tobias. He's disappeared with his bike.
Gone?
But where did he go?
- Who last saw Tobias? - I did.
In three minutes it's time for morning gym.
I repeat...
in three minutes it's time for morning gym.
All I had to do was make sure you were safe.
- At my last school there was a boy who... - Lisa! Not now!
Schedule and safety.
Mum, I can't talk now. There's something terrible.
Really?
Yes, I'm on my way.
Tell Dreus everything.
That Tobias has gone and I've gone after him.
Can't we think of something... with like a monster?
No Lisa, this is serious.
Just say that Tobias has gone and I've gone after him. I'll be back, okay?
Okay.
Where are you.
Where is Casey going?
On my bike!
What's going on?
He's going...
to hospital! The hospital.
That's a good reason to cycle off at speed, isn't it?
- To hospital? - Yes, something about Tobias!
He was bitten...
Yes, by a monster!
Hello.
I... came for Casey.
Tobias! You can't just leave like that!
We're at camp, you can't run off.
- But Teach... - I was worried.
What if something happened? I'm here as your teacher.
- Tobias... - Casey...
Tobias ls here because he was worried about you.
About me?
You said it yourself when we helped Sep.
Friends take care of each other.
I came to fetch your talisman. So things would be better.
But Tobias...
I have to do these things myself.
I'm the adult here.
I should care for you, not you for me.
I just want you to be teacher.
Kids.
Look.
Lovely. An omelette.
Tobias...
your father would be proud of you.
Mum...
Do we have any plants?
I've only been here once.
On the day he was buried.
I came here with my mother.
I think it's there.
It's sad my father never had visitors.
No.
You don't have to feel sorry for the dead.
It's the people left behind who are sad.
A little sad.
Watch out, Dad. It's going to rain.
Casey!
Oh goodness...
A nice camp game. It's a bit busy...
but we're right on schedule.
And I'm glad you're better again!
Better?
Well done, Casey!
I heard from the children that Tobias had been stung by a monstrous wasp.
Straight to hospital. Well done!
Very meticulous. And safe!
And it was a good idea to ask your fiance to help.
Yes. Casey...
I have to sort things for the schedule. In the meantime, could you...
I was stung by a monstrous wasp.
And I called Marie Louise?
Oh yes. When we were in the beach cafe I sent that text message.
About fishing?
I think I have to help Harley.
I missed you too.
Oh? You did?
But I don't like fishing.
Here is Koos with the post!
Hey kids. All your parents sent a card!
You can hand them out.
Lieke?
There's something for you too.
For me? No, that can't be.
To learn to read better.
READ BETTER
What's all this about? I can read fine.
It's no problem. It's just a pity...
because reading is fun.
Tobias!
Here's card.
HAVE A GOOD TIME, DARLING.
She thought of me.
Kids. You really have to come! Teach!
