0:00:04 > 0:00:08- # Where do we want to go today? - Big City Park!
0:00:08 > 0:00:11# We want to play We want to have some fun
0:00:11 > 0:00:15# Let's go on a treasure hunt
0:00:15 > 0:00:20# A very special day In the big Big City Park
0:00:20 > 0:00:23# So come along, let's have
0:00:23 > 0:00:25# A great time today
0:00:25 > 0:00:30- # In the big Big City Park - Big City Park! #
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Could you grab me a few handfuls of topsoil?
0:00:33 > 0:00:37I want to plant these flowers so they can have a drink in the rain.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42It's really wet out there. It could start raining again any minute.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47It looks like it's stopped for the time being. If I stayed inside
0:00:47 > 0:00:51every time I thought it was going to rain in Big City Park,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54we'd never be outside!
0:00:54 > 0:00:57You're right, Ruairi! ..Ah!
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Hello! And welcome to a lovely, wet Big City Park!
0:01:03 > 0:01:07I think the rain's taking a wee break.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12Who would like to come and play when it starts again?!
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Maybe later, after I've finished this game.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I don't think young Billy is too fond of the rain.
0:01:18 > 0:01:24- Really, Billy?- Everything is wet and soggy and...there's nothing to do.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29- But there's lots of fun things to do in the rain, Billy!- That's right!
0:01:29 > 0:01:33I used to be a fisherman on Henderson Lake in Canada,
0:01:33 > 0:01:37one of the rainiest places on Earth! Didn't stop us from working, though.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42In fact, we used to tie umbrellas to our heads...
0:01:42 > 0:01:46I think I'd rather stay inside and play this game on the laptop.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49OK, Billy. Maybe later.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54And I'd help you, May, but there's work to be done round here.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00But look! Here comes Dara and her friends now!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Hi, everyone!- Hi, Dara!
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Hi, Rhyanna.- Hi.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- Hi, Tiana.- Hi.- Hi, Kezia.- Hi.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- Shall we have some fun in Big Soggy Park?!- Yes!
0:02:19 > 0:02:24Ah! I think I might have felt a drop of rain!
0:02:25 > 0:02:30- OK, bags on shoulders... - ALL: Bags on shoulders!
0:02:30 > 0:02:31- ..wellies on toes... - ALL: Wellies on toes!
0:02:31 > 0:02:38..it's time for fun in the rain so...
0:02:38 > 0:02:40ALL: Off we go!
0:03:16 > 0:03:20So the rain falls down from the sky into the soil here
0:03:20 > 0:03:25and then all these lovely flowers soak it up through their roots,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27keeping them healthy!
0:03:27 > 0:03:33Feel how soft and squidgy the rain makes the soil. Can you feel that?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- What's everyone up to? - Oh, hi, Billy.
0:03:36 > 0:03:43I was just explaining that the rain helps to keep the plants and flowers
0:03:43 > 0:03:48- in Big City Park lovely and healthy. - Plants and flowers like the rain?
0:03:48 > 0:03:54They do indeed! It's the rain that keeps Big City Park lush and green.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59Oh! I think I just felt some water on my nose!
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Come on, let's go! Come on, Billy! Come on, Dara!
0:04:04 > 0:04:09Oh, no! I need to find some shelter, quick!
0:04:33 > 0:04:39Are you sure you don't want to come out for a splash around, Billy?
0:04:39 > 0:04:44That just looks too wet and muddy. It just doesn't look much fun.
0:04:44 > 0:04:50What fun can YOU have when you play outside and it's raining? ..Dara?
0:04:50 > 0:04:55- I'm going to need some help with this one.- I'm on my way!
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Oh, I wish I hadn't come out now. - Oh, Billy!
0:05:05 > 0:05:08RHYTHMIC DRUMMING STARTS
0:05:08 > 0:05:10RUAIRI STARTS CHANTING
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Um...Ruairi, what are you doing?!
0:05:16 > 0:05:22- I'm just doing a Big City Park rain dance.- A rain dance?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Oh, aye. A rain dance.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29It's a dance that's supposed to bring out the rain.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34I learnt it from the Native American Qahpo tribe when I lived in Missouri
0:05:34 > 0:05:38although I have adapted it to suit my own style.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Billy is trapped under the big oak tree because of the rain
0:05:41 > 0:05:46- and he won't come out until he's sure it won't rain on him!- Trapped?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I'm going to check in with my city friends,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51see what they do when it's raining.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55I'd better leave this dance until later, then.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I remember when I was a lad,
0:06:00 > 0:06:04trekking through India during monsoon season.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- See you later! - Wait a second, Dara!- Yeah?
0:06:08 > 0:06:14They're too small for me now so I think you should give them to Billy.
0:06:14 > 0:06:20You could put a firehose on him and he'll stay dry. I guarantee it!
0:06:20 > 0:06:26- Thanks, Ruairi.- You're welcome! - See you later!- Bye!
0:06:28 > 0:06:31OK, let's see... Um...
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Raining...
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Water...

0:06:43 > 0:06:47"Rain rain everywhere." That's it!
0:06:47 > 0:06:52From Big City Park to the friends in the big city!
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Tell us what you know!
0:06:58 > 0:07:00We're going out to play in the rain.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05We're putting on our rain clothes. These are our waterproofs.
0:07:05 > 0:07:11- This is our raincoat. - And these are our welly boots.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14We're going outside!
0:07:14 > 0:07:17BOTH: We're ready to play in the rain!
0:07:17 > 0:07:21There's so many fun things to do in the rain.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25It's raining!
0:07:25 > 0:07:28CHILDREN: Splash! Splash! Splash!
0:07:30 > 0:07:33We're jumping in the puddles!
0:07:33 > 0:07:37CHILDREN CHANT: We love rain! We love rain!
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Hi, Mum.
0:07:40 > 0:07:46We have rain clothes. We can play in the rain!
0:07:46 > 0:07:49In the rain! Out the rain!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52In the rain! Out the rain!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55My coat keeps my body dry.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00My feet stay dry in these boots.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05Always wear the proper clothes when you're playing in the rain.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I love playing with my friends in the rain.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Bye, Dara!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Bye!
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Found out for you, May! - Found out what, Dara?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25If we have the right clothes on,
0:08:25 > 0:08:29we can have lots of fun in the rain without getting wet!
0:08:29 > 0:08:32And Ruairi asked me to give you these.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Some wellies...
0:08:34 > 0:08:38and...a raincoat!
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- Now you can have fun in the rain without getting wet!- Um...
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I'm still not sure.
0:08:46 > 0:08:52But, Billy, it's great fun to play and splash around in the puddles!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54SPLASH! Oh!
0:08:56 > 0:09:01Look at these big juicy vegetables! Perfect for roasting.
0:09:01 > 0:09:07They couldn't have grown this big without the good old rain!
0:09:08 > 0:09:12I'll have to remember to empty those rain-catching umbrellas later on.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17Quickly, May, I think I can feel more raindrops!
0:09:17 > 0:09:20We've got to find shelter! Quick!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26SPLASH! ..SPLASH!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Wow!
0:09:28 > 0:09:33This isn't too bad! It's not too bad at all!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38In fact, it's kind of fun!
0:09:40 > 0:09:43See? What did I tell you, Billy?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Well, I'd better call them in.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- CLANG! - Ah!

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Picking up things off the ground.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03With all this rain, the plants in Big City Park won't be too thirsty.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08Oh, Billy! Looks like you're finally ready for the rain!
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Yes, I am, Ruairi!
0:11:12 > 0:11:16I never knew that splashing in puddles could be so much fun!
0:11:16 > 0:11:22That's the thing. You never know how much fun something is going to be
0:11:22 > 0:11:25until you give it a go.
