0:00:13 > 0:00:17# With good friends you'll never be alone
0:00:17 > 0:00:20# Shining light on our joyful world
0:00:20 > 0:00:23# Ain't nothing going to beat that place
0:00:23 > 0:00:25# We call home
0:00:28 > 0:00:30# First days, new days
0:00:30 > 0:00:31# Are the very best days

0:00:33 > 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 > 0:00:44# Life is for the living down at Apple Tree House. #
0:00:44 > 0:00:46# ..for us to see
0:00:46 > 0:00:50# And when the lights go low by night
0:00:50 > 0:00:55# The things we learn help us unite. #
0:00:55 > 0:00:57- Shall I sing another song?- No.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59You've been singing all day!
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Well, if we don't practise, we won't be ready for the school concert.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09- You'll be fine.- But Miss Barrett said we're singing with the adults.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- That sounds like fun. - Are you going to sing?
0:01:11 > 0:01:16- Well...- Oh, no. It's like sports day all over again.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17What?
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Well, you know on the sports day where the teachers
0:01:20 > 0:01:22let the parents do the race?
0:01:22 > 0:01:27- Bella's dad takes that really seriously.- Thank you, girls.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- There's no fear of me joining in with the singing.- Why?
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Because...- Mum says Dad's singing sounds like a frightened whale.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36A frightened whale?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38That sounds funny.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52WHALE SINGS
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- That doesn't sound good.- Exactly.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- You can leave the singing to me. - Sure.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00# Come, my friend, let's fill the...
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Mali!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03# Reaching far across the land
0:02:03 > 0:02:06# And then set sail upon the sea
0:02:06 > 0:02:08# And then come home to Apple Tree. #
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Can we go find my dad now?
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Here we are, Kobi.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23Oh, Ian! Thanks! Sweetheart!
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- What have we got here? - This is our new spelling sheet.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Ooh, spellings! Yeah, I can help with that.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32We have to practise our singing for the choir performance.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Singing? Yeah, I can help with that too.
0:02:36 > 0:02:42HE SINGS
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Ah, well...
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Maybe I'll do the spelling and Ian can do the singing.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I don't think so. Last time I sang was at school.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Everyone in assembly covered their ears.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Even the teachers.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Oh. Well, that must've been terrible.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06- Anyway, I think spellings are more important.- Well, that's not fair!
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Grown-ups never have to learn. - Well, that's not true.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14I often say you're never too old to learn. Isn't that right, Ian?
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Yeah. I guess so.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Did I ever tell you I went to night school?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Night school? What's that? - It's school for grown-ups.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23School open at night-time?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25How weird.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Not at all!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30After your school finishes,
0:03:30 > 0:03:35often they keep their gates open for adults to attend classes.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- Did you have to wear uniforms? - Luckily not.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43You know, to run Apple Tree House, I had to learn all sorts of things,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46and evening classes were perfect for me.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I learned plumbing,
0:03:48 > 0:03:49electrics...
0:03:50 > 0:03:52..and taekwondo.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59- But how did taekwondo help to run Apple Tree House?- It didn't.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I did that just for fun.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Well, I'd rather learn taekwondo than spelling.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Hi-ya!
0:04:11 > 0:04:12Magic.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19M-A-G-I-C. Magic.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Correct!
0:04:23 > 0:04:25You've nearly finished all the words.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Do you want to practise some singing before bed?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- Singing? - I know about the choir performance.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Bella was practising earlier, wasn't she?
0:04:35 > 0:04:40- Could you hear her?- When Bella sings, the whole estate can hear!
0:04:41 > 0:04:43She's good, but I'm shy.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Shy? Don't be silly.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Singing is fun!
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- I can't!- Mali, sing!
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Don't think about it.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Just open your mouth and let the words fly out.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59I'll leave that to Bella. She's good, I'm not.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01No excuses!
0:05:01 > 0:05:02After three.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06One, two, three.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07KNOCK ON DOOR
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Zainab? Are you in, Zainab?
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Yes!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Hello.- Hi, Zainab.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I need your help, please.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20What is it?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Could you check something on the computer for me?
0:05:23 > 0:05:28# Come, my friend, let's build a bridge
0:05:28 > 0:05:31# Reaching far across the land. #
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Oh.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Everything OK?
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Yeah. What were you talking about with Bella's dad?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Oh, I think she's planning a surprise for Bella.- A surprise?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Don't you worry about that.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Time to think about bed.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53I'm just going to help Ian with the computer.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59By the way,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01great singing.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Good night, Mali.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Night, Gran.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- Fox.- Oh, I know this one!
0:06:15 > 0:06:17F-ox!
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Correct!
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Right, we're here. Bye, Bella! I'm off to work.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Why aren't you wearing your work clothes?- Good question.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Um...
0:06:27 > 0:06:28I...
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Oh, look at the time. - You lot better get in.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34You better go, you'll be late.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35- BOTH: Bye! - Bye!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42How do you spell no?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45That's easy. N-O. No!
0:06:45 > 0:06:48No, I mean, the other kind of no.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Erm...
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Like...
0:06:51 > 0:06:52I don't know.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Exactly.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- No, I'm telling you I don't know. - You don't know.- No!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Spoon.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Hmm.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05What else does this need?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Maybe some more fish.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Fish.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Well done, Mali.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25# Across the land... #
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Hey, we had a deal!
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Not now, Dad, I'm still singing.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32If you learn your spelling first,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35I promise I will listen to your singing.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Really? Do you promise?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38PHONE RINGS
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Oh, I have to go. I have an appointment.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Again? But what about my singing?
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Your mum should be back soon. She must be running late from yoga.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50I'll drop you off at Zainab's,
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- and then she can help you with your sp-...- Singing!
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Spelling.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Bear.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02B-...
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Go on!
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Mali, what are you doing? - Bouncing up and down.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10It helps me remember the spelling.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Everyone has different ways of learning.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21You just have to find what works for you.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Well, I'd rather be doing singing.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Actually, that's not a bad idea.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29That's very good.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32And you've got nine right. That's great!
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Hiya!
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Kobi, we need your help.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Bella's trying to learn her spellings,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40and I think I know what'll help.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- You'll need your guitar.- My guitar?
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Oh!
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I love it already.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55- Sam, you get the drum.- Can I help? - I've got the very thing for you.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58SHAKER RATTLES
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Right, we ready?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Bella, since you love music, that's what we're going to do.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- To help you learn how to spell. - I like the sound of that!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Take it away, Kobi!
0:09:10 > 0:09:13The first word is long.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19# Let's make a spelling sing-along
0:09:19 > 0:09:23# Words can be so easy when you put them in a song
0:09:23 > 0:09:26# Stop, look and listen to me
0:09:26 > 0:09:31# I say, listen to the words that make a simple melody
0:09:42 > 0:09:44# Let's start with...
0:09:44 > 0:09:46# A, B, C
0:09:46 > 0:09:50# So let's write a spelling sing-along
0:09:50 > 0:09:53# Words are really easy if you put them in a song. #
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- That was fantabulous!- Yeah! - Hey, we do what we can.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Hello, everyone.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Dad, Dad, we're learning our spellings by singing them.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I thought you didn't like singing.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I didn't, but I do now.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18You know, you're never too old to learn.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- Has anyone seen Ian?- I-I thought he was at football with you.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25That's where I've been. He wasn't there.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28He should be here. He promised he'd help me with my singing.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31If he's not at football with you, where is he?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34He's planning a very special surprise,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37and you'll all see what it is very soon.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39I can't wait to find out!
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Here goes.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49"Night time and evening classes for adults."
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Remember, Bella, words are really easy you put them in a song.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Yeah.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Hello!
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Hiya!- Hi!
0:11:05 > 0:11:06How are you?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Sorry, I just... I'll tidy the bedroom.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Guess who got 10 out of 10 on their spelling test.- Me!
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Yes, but who else?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Uh, Kobi?
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- No, me!- That's amazing, Bella! - I knew you could do it!
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Come on, you lot. You're supposed to be in the hall.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Hello, everyone. Thanks for coming to our annual performance.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Please put your hands together for the choir!
0:11:41 > 0:11:44CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:11:50 > 0:11:51- WHISPERS:- Hi!
0:11:54 > 0:12:00# Come, my friends, and learn with me
0:12:00 > 0:12:06# So much here for us to see
0:12:06 > 0:12:13# Come, my friends, let's build a bridge
0:12:13 > 0:12:19# Reaching out across the land
0:12:19 > 0:12:25# And then sail upon the sea
0:12:25 > 0:12:34# And then come home to Apple Tree. #
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Dad, when did you learn to sing?
0:12:48 > 0:12:52I wanted to surprise you both, but I was too scared to sing,
0:12:52 > 0:12:56so I've been attending night classes to improve my confidence.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58You've been to night school? Cool.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I am proud of you, Ian,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03and I'm sorry I said you sounded like a frightened whale.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08He didn't sound like a frightened whale, he sounded like a happy one.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Maybe now, we could all sing together.- Um...
0:13:11 > 0:13:13No, I think I'm done with singing.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I want to learn taekwondo.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Hi-ya!
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Mali, you really did well with your singing, just like Ian.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26I'm really happy Bella passed her spelling test.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28It was great we all helped each other.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30GIGGLING
0:13:30 > 0:13:34If spellings are hard and you're getting them wrong...
0:13:34 > 0:13:36# Try and turn them into a song. #
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- You're a good friend, Mali. - And you're a great friend, Sam.
