0:00:32 > 0:00:35Lovely to see you here in Big City Park.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39BOTH: Hee-hee, hee!
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Maybe it's not just the rain we need to be looking out for.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54- Hee-hee, hee!- That is the funniest rain I ever heard,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57you can almost hear it laughing at you.
0:00:57 > 0:01:03Hee-hee, hee-hee! Ha-ha, ha-ha! Hoo-hoo, hoo!
0:01:03 > 0:01:09Here in Big City Park it can be spring, summer, autumn and winter
0:01:09 > 0:01:12all in one day.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14So, that's why...
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Hee-hee, hee-hee!
0:01:21 > 0:01:24..I always come prepared.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- THEY GASP - We were just having fun, May.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31You're not angry, are you, May?
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Of course not!
0:01:36 > 0:01:39A bit of rain never hurt anybody.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42At least we're the laughing rain -
0:01:42 > 0:01:45you get wet, but you smile at the same time.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Oh! There's Dara and her friends now!
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Hi, everyone.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55May, we were looking for you.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I was mending fences... in the laughing rain.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59- Ha-ha!- Hee-hee!
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Hi, Chloe.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Hi.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Hi, Ben.- Hi.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Hi, Mathew.- Hi.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Are you ready to explore Big City Park?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10ALL: Yay!
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Big City Park!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15When I was on my way to find my friends,
0:02:15 > 0:02:21- a little bird told me that today is May's birthday.- Huh!- Huh!
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Why didn't she say?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Maybe it's a secret.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Or maybe she's just forgot, I forget my birthday all the time.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Let's not say anything, she'll tell us when she wants to.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Um... May?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44I wouldn't have soaked you if I'd known it was your birthday.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Oh!- Oh, Billy!
0:02:47 > 0:02:51That's all right! We're supposed to have fun on birthdays.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- You have fun on birthdays, don't you?- Yes.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58May, are you not going to have a party? Or...
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Or a cake?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I'm just too busy today. Maybe next year.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07Next year's a long way away, let's make this year one to remember.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09I'll see you later.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12We can still play, though, can't we, May?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16There's always time to play in Big City Park.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Bags on shoulders.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Boots on toes.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22It's exploring time, so...
0:03:22 > 0:03:27- ALL: Off we go!- Come on, then.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Oh, I still haven't found anything for May.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Oh, that's all right, Billy.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44We'll keep looking.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00What do you think May would like, Billy?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Um, a kite that she could fly really high.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06That's what YOU'D like, Billy.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Well, everyone would!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12May?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14We could pick flowers for you.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Oh, that's a lovely idea, Billy.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22But these flowers aren't very old. We have to let them grow,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24so that everyone can enjoy them.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Are they the youngest things in the park, May?
0:04:28 > 0:04:33I think they are. If these are the youngest and smallest things,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36what are the biggest and oldest?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Trees?- That's a good idea, Mathew.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Let's go and have a look at some trees.
0:04:43 > 0:04:49Wow! This tree looks like it's been here for a very long time.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51It must have had lots of birthdays.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Do trees eat birthday cakes?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Ha-ha, ha! That's so silly!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Have you ever seen a tree eat a cake?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03How do you think we can tell how old a tree is?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Measure how tall it is.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09How would I get to the top of the tree?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- A hot-air balloon! - In a hot-air balloon?!
0:05:12 > 0:05:14In a hot-air balloon!
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Maybe there's a way to do it whilst we keep our feet on the ground.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22We can tell how old a tree is by how wide it's grown.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25The wider it is, the older it is.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29It's nice spending my birthday in Big City Park.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Do you ever celebrate your birthday outside?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34We need help finding out, Dara.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- I'm on my way! - SWOOSH!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Let's see if we can put our hands around this tree.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Come on, let's give it a go.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Well, I've found my hot-air balloon in my treasure chest
0:05:50 > 0:05:53and I was going to take May up into the clouds.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55But...
0:05:55 > 0:05:56it's burst.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- SWOOSH! - We need to find out
0:05:59 > 0:06:04if my friends have special parties outside on their birthdays.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09Did I never tell you about the time I had loads of fun on my birthday
0:06:09 > 0:06:12with a pack of wolves? Hee-hee!
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Got to dash!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Dara, would you say
0:06:15 > 0:06:19that May would like something special for her birthday?
0:06:19 > 0:06:24Well, May is always so busy looking after Big City Park
0:06:24 > 0:06:26and everything in it,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28that she forgets about herself.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Well, Dara, it's a good job that we're here to remind her. Ha-ha!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Got to dash! - SWOOSH!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38We can still make this a special day for May.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Right.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Hmm.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47What special things can we do on our birthday?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Huh! Here we are!
0:06:51 > 0:06:56I know how to have special fun OUTSIDE on my birthday.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58That's it!
0:06:58 > 0:07:03From the fastest fox in Big City Park
0:07:03 > 0:07:06to the friendliest friends in the city!
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Tell us what you know.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12It's my birthday!
0:07:12 > 0:07:14ALL: Happy birthday!
0:07:14 > 0:07:17GIGGLING

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Woo!
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- Would you like some birthday cake? - Yeah! Birthday cake!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I love having my birthday outside.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Happy birthday, Adam.
0:08:09 > 0:08:15ALL: # For he's a jolly good fellow For he's a jolly good fellow
0:08:15 > 0:08:19# For he's a jolly good fellow!
0:08:19 > 0:08:21# And so say all of us! #
0:08:22 > 0:08:25ALL: Happy birthday!
0:08:25 > 0:08:30- I love my birthday in the city, see you soon.- ALL: Bye!
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Bye, see you soon!
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Ha-ha!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41ALL: Happy birthday, tree!
0:08:41 > 0:08:45How many trees have we said happy birthday to now, May?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Quite a few, I think, Billy.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- SWOOSH! - Found out for you, May!
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Found out what?
0:08:51 > 0:08:55My friends in the big city had the best time ever!
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- They had a street party for their birthdays.- Huh!
0:08:59 > 0:09:01That's a great idea!
0:09:01 > 0:09:07Big City Park has lots of trees, but do you know what else it's got?
0:09:07 > 0:09:12I know! The Big City Park play park!
0:09:12 > 0:09:15ALL: Yay!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18What's keeping them?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21It can't be every tree's birthday in Big City Park.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Uh!
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Phew.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Uh! Oof.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Oh!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Uh! Unh.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Did I ever tell you about the time
0:09:33 > 0:09:36when I sat on a branch at the top of the biggest tree
0:09:36 > 0:09:38in Big City Park?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40It was SO high up
0:09:40 > 0:09:44that I hitched a ride on the wing of a passing eagle.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48I'll catch you!
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Oh! Ha-ha!
0:09:53 > 0:09:54- Ha-ha, ha!- Ha-ha!
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Woo!
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Ah, ha-ha!
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Would you look at that!
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Sshhh!
0:10:02 > 0:10:03It's a secret.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Only you, me and the trees know about it.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Ha-ha, ha!
0:10:13 > 0:10:15CREAK! CLUNK!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20SNAP! BOING!
0:10:20 > 0:10:21BOING!

0:10:26 > 0:10:29- DONG! DONG! - Oh! That's lovely, Billy.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Ha-ha, ha!
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- DONG! - Huh! Oh!
0:10:32 > 0:10:36That's Ruairi calling us to the Story Circle.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Shall we go and see him?- Yeah!
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Let's go.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Oh!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45DONG! Argh!
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Ah, I've done it again.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53I must remember to stop forgetting about that big banging bonging bell.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58ALL: Happy birthday, tree!

0:11:17 > 0:11:20It's beautiful!
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Well, it is a special day after all. Ha-ha! Did you all have a nice time?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Yeah!
0:11:27 > 0:11:32I wish it was May's birthday every day.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34She's older than me. I'm five.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Five is a great age to be, Billy.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38What age are you, Ruairi?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I'm older than the oldest cloud...
0:11:41 > 0:11:45and I'm younger than the youngest seed.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- BOTH:- Wow!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50You all had fun, did you?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53What were your favourite things that we did today?
0:11:53 > 0:11:57The slide and the swings and finding pine cones.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01It sounds like another fine day in Big City Park.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Ahem.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Full...of...surprises!
0:12:08 > 0:12:10ALL: # It's your birthday your birthday
0:12:10 > 0:12:12# Happy, happy birthday
0:12:12 > 0:12:15# It's your birthday, your birthday
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- # Happy birthday, May - Ooh-ah... #
0:12:17 > 0:12:21When we think about you, May, we think of warm sunny days.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26# So have yourself a wonderful birthday! #
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Thank you!
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Today, our special girl is May.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37It's not her birthday every day.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40But with chums and fun she had a lark
0:12:40 > 0:12:44and spent it in Big City Park.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Her cake is good, in fact, it's grand. Ha-ha!
0:12:49 > 0:12:55Our May's the best one in the land! Hip-hip...
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- ALL:- Hooray!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Thank you very much.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Chloe, what did you find?
0:13:02 > 0:13:03I found a feather.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Thank you very much.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07May?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10We made this for you.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Oh!
0:13:11 > 0:13:13It's lovely!
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Thank you.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23It really is the most beautiful necklace I ever saw.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I nearly forgot...
0:13:25 > 0:13:31Well, it's been another very special day here in Big City Park.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Come and join us again soon.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38Ha-ha! It wouldn't be a proper birthday without laughing rain!
0:13:38 > 0:13:40No. No! Billy!
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Shall I squirt her?
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Yes! Yes!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Billy, no! No!
