0:00:09 > 0:00:12# No matter if you're young or old
0:00:12 > 0:00:16# With good friends you'll never be alone
0:00:16 > 0:00:20# Shining light on our joyful world
0:00:20 > 0:00:25# Ain't nothing going to beat that place we call home
0:00:28 > 0:00:30# First days, new days
0:00:30 > 0:00:31# Are the very best days
0:00:31 > 0:00:33# New things to discover
0:00:33 > 0:00:35# New people to meet
0:00:35 > 0:00:37# Fun days always
0:00:37 > 0:00:39# Playing with your friend days
0:00:39 > 0:00:43# Life is for the living down at Apple Tree House. #
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Well done, class. You're doing well.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Remember, by keeping silent you're doing a brilliant job
0:00:49 > 0:00:51raising money for charity.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Now, I suggest you put your drawings away, and remember, no noise.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Go on, you lot. Let's get inside.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I'm desperate to find out about your day.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Thank you.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31You're doing ever so well.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39How long?
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Not long at all.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45I know it's not easy, but it'll be over soon.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47And it's all for a good cause.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Just think how happy children will be at that school.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52HE HUMS
0:01:52 > 0:01:53SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- HE SINGS:- Just like fam...
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Oh.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Oh.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05I'm sorry, guys. My bad. I totally forgot about your sponsored silence.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Everything OK?
0:02:08 > 0:02:12The report from school is that everyone had a fantastic day,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14and not a single word was said.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Though, as you can see, since school finished...
0:02:18 > 0:02:21..it looks like it's been a lot less fun.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- But it's all in a good cause, right?- See.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Your class is going to raise so much money
0:02:26 > 0:02:31for that school in South America, and that's totally amazing.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Come on, Kobi.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35You and I need to get solving.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Solving?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Yes. Think!
0:02:38 > 0:02:43How will we keep all our spirits up until the end of this big silence?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45A trip to Flo's Cafe always helps.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Juice? Yeah!
0:02:56 > 0:02:58You can have a juice.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04And on the way, we'll have a super silent game of follow the leader.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07But no giggling, especially you, Zainab.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08OK, everyone.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Let's follow Kobi,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12and take your sponsor forms.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16We can ask Flo to make a little contribution.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Come on, everyone. Follow the leader!
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Follow the leader!
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- HE SINGS:- One, two, three, four,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25marching, marching, hands up!
0:03:25 > 0:03:29And up and out to the side!
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Yeah!
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Windmill, windmill, windmill, windmill, windmill.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35HE LAUGHS
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- HE SINGS:- And, skippity do, skippity do!
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Here you go.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51A little treat.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Well, I am impressed.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01You know, I reckon my Frank would find this sponsored silence easy.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03He's not chatty at the best of times, but me...
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I'd probably manage...
0:04:05 > 0:04:10- hmmm, two minutes before I open my big mouth.- Oh, Flo.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Oh, I'm sure you'd manage more.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14What?
0:04:14 > 0:04:15HE CHUCKLES
0:04:15 > 0:04:19I think that means treats are for the quiet ones.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23But you know Patience is away visiting Sam's cousins,
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- and I didn't get to have a treat with my lunch today.- Hmm.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29What do you think?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Well, maybe you could have just the one.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Thank you.- And don't forget to let me sign
0:04:37 > 0:04:39your sponsorship forms before you go.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42The kids are very grateful. Thank you, Flo.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47You know, this sponsored silence has got me wondering
0:04:47 > 0:04:49about how many different ways there are
0:04:49 > 0:04:53for people to communicate, without speaking.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Well, maybe we can get our quiet guys
0:04:55 > 0:04:58to count the different ways out on their fingers...
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Because using our bodies and our faces and our hands
0:05:02 > 0:05:04is a great place to start.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09That's interesting.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13You know how sometimes your mum chats to people at work?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15She uses sign language with the kids
0:05:15 > 0:05:18who have difficulty with their hearing.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20That's terrific.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23It's like how in Mali's favourite pirate story,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27the sailors all used flags to pass on messages.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Oh, yeah, and Native Americans used smoke signals
0:05:30 > 0:05:33to alert neighbours about any dangers.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Over the years, people have invented all kinds of codes,
0:05:38 > 0:05:39like Morse code.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42People used to tap messages down wires,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45which connected cities and towns all around a country.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51And we shouldn't forget about Doreen delivering the mail.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Letters have always been a great way to communicate,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56no matter where people are.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59And now we have e-mail too.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01And back home, over the centuries,
0:06:01 > 0:06:05drums have been used to allow villages to talk to each other.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08And in Switzerland, the alphorn,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10a kind of super-long trumpet
0:06:10 > 0:06:14was used by shepherds to help herd their cows.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15COW MOOS
0:06:19 > 0:06:23I'm not quite sure how drumming and horns
0:06:23 > 0:06:25fit into a sponsored silence, Kobi.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Good point.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33My grandparents used to tell me about going to the silent movies.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Yes! Silent movies.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41When film was originally invented, they couldn't add on the sound,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43so they had to mime everything.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45It's like playing charades.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- That's right.- I love that game.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Oh! That reminds me.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Sam, we're supposed to be calling your mum later on.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I don't think that's going to work if Sam's
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- in the middle of her silence. - Oh, yeah, you're right.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02So, how can we do that?
0:07:06 > 0:07:11Mali thinks we should make a silent film all about our day.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Brilliant.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17And we can borrow Ian's camcorder
0:07:17 > 0:07:21and send it to Patience and Sam's relatives.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22You know what they say,
0:07:22 > 0:07:27lights, camera, action!
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Hey. Welcome to Apple Tree House.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47This is Sam, Mali and Bella's silent movie
0:07:47 > 0:07:49about their busy afternoon.
0:07:51 > 0:07:57# Oh, we haven't got much time to make our movie
0:07:58 > 0:08:00# Time to make our movie
0:08:00 > 0:08:05# The movie of how our afternoon was fun
0:08:06 > 0:08:07# How our afternoon was fun
0:08:09 > 0:08:14# So start the cameras rolling for our movie
0:08:14 > 0:08:18# Rolling for our movie
0:08:18 > 0:08:22# Oh and share our day of fun with everyone
0:08:25 > 0:08:27# Ooh, whee, ooh

0:09:53 > 0:09:55So, what time is it?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00We're nearly there.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Are you ready with the cards?
0:10:05 > 0:10:06And...
0:10:07 > 0:10:0810,
0:10:08 > 0:10:109, 8,

0:10:13 > 0:10:153, 2,
0:10:15 > 0:10:161.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17THEY SCREAM
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- That's awesome!- That was so hard.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I hope we never have to do that again.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24That was amazing.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27I loved making it rain, it made me laugh.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31And I love making that movie, it was so funny.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Dad, I bet you can't do a sponsored silence like that.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38That's way too hard for you.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Excuse me, I think I'd do just fine.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Are you sure?- Absolutely.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Well, prove it.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46You couldn't do five minutes.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Yeah, no problem.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50I'll time it.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53And...silence.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54HE SIGHS
0:10:57 > 0:10:59PHONE RINGS
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Hello, Kobi.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Oh, hi.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Yeah. How are the cousins?
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Oh, good.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Oh, yeah, the sponsored silence.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20That was, uh... It was quiet.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Yeah. They were amazing.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27And the film, that's going to be just brilliant.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30I just need to get it out of the camera then I'll send it over.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Yeah, soon as possible. OK, see you later.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36THEY SCREAM
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- LAUGHTER - Can't do it!
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Right, class.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Sam, Mali and Bella have been busy making a movie.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- Shall we have a look? - ALL:- Yay!
0:11:58 > 0:12:03- ALL:- Five, four, three, two, one...
0:12:03 > 0:12:05CHEERING
0:12:09 > 0:12:10CHEERING
0:12:12 > 0:12:13OK.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17So, the school has raised a large sum of money
0:12:17 > 0:12:21that we're going to be sending to our twin school in South America.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Now, the moment you've all been waiting for.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Drum roll please, Bella.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32£312!
0:12:32 > 0:12:33CHEERING
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Wow, that is fantastic!
0:12:36 > 0:12:38And I've been telling Mrs Barrett
0:12:38 > 0:12:41all about your brilliant silent movie.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Why?- Because, in South America
0:12:44 > 0:12:47the children at the school speak Spanish.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Now, if you'd have made a movie speaking English,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53it might've been difficult for them to understand.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58But as you've made the movie in the international language of mime,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00it makes sense to everyone.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01So, what do you think?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Should we send it to them? - ALL:- Yeah!
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Mali, stop playing around!
0:13:08 > 0:13:10We've had enough silence for one day.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Say something!
0:13:12 > 0:13:13HE CHUCKLES
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Come on. Just because we had so much fun
0:13:18 > 0:13:21doesn't mean you should do it again.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24I'll tickle you.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- You're a good friend, Mali. - And you're a great friend, Sam.
