Today, we're going strictly ballroom with Let's Go-er Millie,

who shows us her wheelchair dancing.

We'll be having a splash and a laugh in this week's amazing quick trick.

It's wet and wild.

Two teams of Let's Go-ers will take on the epic super-size showdown.

We'll also take a look at lots of your brilliant send-ins.

And go on a fact-finding animal adventure.

Hi, my name is Millie.

My favourite things to do are ride my tricycle,

and I like drawing pictures.

This is my brother, Benny.

We really like to make videos of ourselves telling jokes.

Millie, why do seagulls live near the sea? I don't know.

Why do seagulls live near the sea, Ben?

Because if they lived near the bay, they'd be called bagels.

There's one thing I love doing -

wheelchair dancing.

When I'm at school, Mrs Jones helps me with my standing frame.

I have lots of fun with my friends when I'm here.

I started dancing when I was four years old

to help me with my wheelchair skills.

We play games to help us with our dancing.

And to move safely around each other.

This dance is called the waltz.

It's quite tricky to get right, because you have to watch

your partner and turn with them side to side.

And we get to freestyle, so we can do any moves we want to.

You can get to go really fast when you're freestyling.

We also get to take part in competitions,

which is really exciting.

I used to get nervous, but now I really enjoy it.

Everyone gets together and we show off our skills to each other.

And I get to dance with my friends, just like this.

I love dancing. We have such a great time.

CHEERING

I am Millie, and this is what I do.

And the judges' scores are in.

How will they mark Millie's ballroom dancing?

10.

10.

10. 10.

7! 7?

7!

No, I just wanted to say, "7!"

Of course, it's a 10, really.

Thank you so much, Millie, for telling us what you do.

We really enjoyed your dancing.

Yes, and Millie loves dancing, but if you want to tell us about

something you love, you can do. Just like these Let's Go-ers have.

Here are Grace and Sophia making some delicious jam tarts.

Zoe has sent us this lovely picture of her black-and-white cat, Vernon.

It's purr-fect!

Mimi and Thea love a boogie.

Especially when The Let's Go Club is on.

This is Lucy taking a trip down the river in her kayak.

And here is Ebuka,

showing off her dancing skills ready for the Club Dance.

Such brilliant send-ins, thank you.

And if you want to tell us about something you love,

remember to send it in. And if you're animal crazy,

like me, you can send us some of your best animal adventures.

Just grab a grown-up,

visit the CBeebies website and look for The Let's Go Club.

# The Let's Go Club. #

Now it's time to big-up the fun.

It's the super-size showdown!

CHEERING

This is what I've been waiting for, but we can't do it by ourselves.

We've got some full-of-beans Let's Go-ers to help us.

On the blue team, we have Zach, Freddie, Nikita and Jemima.

Let's see your game faces, everyone. Oh, nice.

And on the red team, we have Eesa, Afreen, Clara and Alfie.

Show us what you've got.

The aim of the game is to collect four puzzle pieces, and you

put them together to make one giant picture.

But these puzzle pieces could be hidden anywhere along this course.

Watch out for the gunge. It's going to get messy.

Let's see what you've got to tackle.

First, slide down Lizzie's slippery slide.

And search for the puzzle piece inside this giant inflatable maze.

Next, onto Martin's messy muddle.

Thank you. This is my favourite part of the course, of course.

What you've got to do is get yourself through these

slimy tunnels of gunge. Don't forget to pick up a puzzle piece

on the way out. Next, it's onto Craig's cool ball pool.

Oh, yes. In this ball pool is your third puzzle piece.

You grab it, you jump out, you tag a team member,

then it's Joanna's jump and grab.

What you need to do is reach up and pull the buckets

to find the puzzle pieces, but beware, because the buckets

are full of slime and confetti.

The teams need to work together to complete the jigsaw puzzles

and the first team to do this are the winners.

It's time to play in a big, big way! Is everyone ready?

THEY CHEER

OK! Three, two, one, let's go!

The Let's Go-ers are off.

Blues are first down Lizzie's slippery slide.

The blues are in the lead at Martin's messy muddle.

And the reds are going through the tunnel in one.

What a move.

The reds aren't far behind now.

And it's into Craig's cool ball pool.

Balls are going everywhere.

Where's the jigsaw piece?

The blues are first to Joanna's jump and grab.

And here come the reds, both teams at the jigsaw.

Who will finish it first?

It's going to be close.

The blue team are the winners!

Right, strike a pose!

OK, who's going to help me tidy up?

THEY CHEER

Brilliant.

Oh, what a fantastic showdown!

Well done, blue team.

You rocked it.

Now, who here loves animals?

ALL: Me!

Me too.

I love them so much, I reckon I could answer pretty much

anything about them.

So, hit me with your hardest questions.

Who's first? Harvey. Why do giraffes have long necks?

Good question, Harvey.

Giraffes have long necks because of the food they eat.

So, other animals can't reach the juiciest of leaves,

which are high up in the trees.

So they grow these long necks in order to reach them.

Isn't that cool? Yeah. Next question.

Why are elephants your favourite animal?

Elephants are my favourite, you're right.

It's because of their cool trunk.

They can use it for many things, such as sniffing...

SHE SNIFFS

..or breathing... SHE EXHALES

..or my favourite, for cooling down and squirting water all over their

bodies in the really hot sun. Can we have one more question?

Summer! Why don't penguins have cold feet?

Oh, I think you've got me there, Summer. I don't really know.

If only there was a song that could tell us about penguins.

# Why don't penguins get cold feet?

# They look so warm and they look so sweet

# They swim in the sea and slide on the ice

# They clamber over rocks, which can't be very nice

# They don't wear shoes They don't wear socks

# They never ever wear slippers

# But when they're climbing on the rocks

# They're warm as toast from feet to flippers

# They huddle close together to keep warm

# They don't get cold Not even in a storm

# They've got lots of feathers

# And that is why

# Whatever the weather They're always nice and dry

# They don't wear shoes They don't wear socks

# They never ever wear slippers

# But when they're climbing on the rocks

# They're warm as toast from feet to flippers

# Some live in Antarctica

# Some in Australia Where it's nice and sunny

# But wherever they go on sand or snow

# They always look so funny

# They don't wear shoes They don't wear socks

# They never ever wear slippers

# But when they're climbing on the rocks

# They're warm as toast from feet to flippers

# They don't wear coats They don't wear gloves

# They don't wear scarves or hats

# Feathers keep them warm and that's why penguins don't get cold

# Penguins don't get cold

# Penguins don't get cold...

# Feet! #

# The Let's Go Club Let's go! #

I love penguins.

Almost as much as I love animal challenges.

If you go to the website, you can see Lizzie trying to name as many

animals as she can in a minute. I'm guessing 143.

Right, fun selfie time.

You guys have been having lots of fun this summer

and telling us about it.

This is Hannah.

She loves her yellow duck family and wanted to tell us all about it.

HE QUACKS

Here is Matilda dressed up as her favourite Roald Dahl character -

Matilda.

She made the giant books from cardboard boxes.

Here are Olivia and Amelia dancing my cool move, the crisscross.

Way to go, girls.

Euan is crisscrossing, too, he's got rhythm.

And so does Thomas.

You're a cool move master, my friend.

We just love your send-ins, and we've had so many that we put some

on the website so you can look at them whenever you like.

Now, are you ready to see something really cool?

Good, because it's quick trick time.

# The Let's Go Club Let's go! #

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, it's time to strike

your best pose for this week's quick trick - it's the hose pose.

Let's take a look, everyone.

Wow!

Come on, then!

And that's this week's hose pose quick trick done.

Oh, I know.

Let's strike a pose for Charlotte and Chase from Twickenham,

who've been learning a new dance in today's We Did This.

# The Let's Go Club Let's go! #

I'm Charlotte, and these are my friends.

We really like dancing,

so we're going to do something a little bit different.

We're going to find out how to do an African dance called Palogo.

If you like dancing and music, here's something you can do.

We're going to learn how to play these drums and dance to the beat.

Let's Go-ers, let's go.

Kwame and Papi are here to help us.

Kwame is showing us how to play the drums.

HE SINGS

Well done, guys. It's lots of fun.

Then we put on some traditional African clothes.

We take turns to dance with the shaker.

We have to get into lines.

And follow Kwame.

We're using lots of energy.

It's a really good way to keep fit.

We're going to show you what we can do.

Let's go! ALL: Yeah!

CHEERING

We love music and dancing, so we did this.

Well, didn't Charlotte, Chase and their friends do such brilliant

African dancing? I'd love to learn Palogo.

Well, there's lots going on today in the clubhouse,

but we've always got time to have a look at your send-ins.

You've been busy telling us what you been up to,

so let's take a look at some of them.

Nancy grew this brilliant bean in her school garden.

It needed lots of looking after to get this big.

Evie likes to play at the park,

where she rides this cool-looking see-saw.

This is Daisy showing off the prickly hedgehog

that she made from a pine cone.

And Chloe has been milling flour from corn

using an old-fashioned quern stone. That's flour power!

Brilliant send-ins. We love them all. Thanks.

Oh, there's something going on with my feet now.

It must be time for the Club Dance. Come on!

Time to get your groove on. It's Club Dance o'clock!

Why don't you get your boogie shoes and join in, too?

You could even try some ballroom or some Palogo,

like Millie, Charlotte and Chase did. Ooh, Palogo.

I love Palogo. ALL: Let's go!

Side to side.

And jump.

# Go, go, go Everybody dance. #

Roll.

# Go, go, go Everybody dance. #

Palogo!

Ballroom!

# Go, go, go Everybody dance. #

Come on, then, everybody!

Are you ready?

ALL: Let's go!

Side to side.

# Go, go, go Everybody dance. #

Jump!

# Go, go, go Everybody dance. #

Roll.

# Go, go, go Everybody dance. #

And Palogo!

# Everybody dance now. #

Well, that's all we've got time for today,

but if you want to stay in the clubhouse, then get surfing.

Just go to the CBeebies website and start exploring.

Why don't you check out the Let's Go Radio Club?

It's Abe on the mic this week.

And there's going to be some African storytelling.

And send us some stuff.

Next time, Gem from Swashbuckle is visiting the clubhouse,

so we want all of your pirate-y pictures, photos and messages.

We're the club that never closes. Let's go!
