-Big City Park! #

0:00:250:00:30

Could you grab me a few handfuls of topsoil?

0:00:300:00:33

I want to plant these flowers so they can have a drink in the rain.

0:00:330:00:37

It's really wet out there. It could start raining again any minute.

0:00:370:00:42

It looks like it's stopped for the time being. If I stayed inside

0:00:420:00:47

every time I thought it was going to rain in Big City Park,

0:00:470:00:51

we'd never be outside!

0:00:510:00:54

You're right, Ruairi! ..Ah!

0:00:540:00:57

Hello! And welcome to a lovely, wet Big City Park!

0:00:570:01:02

I think the rain's taking a wee break.

0:01:030:01:07

Who would like to come and play when it starts again?!

0:01:070:01:12

Maybe later, after I've finished this game.

0:01:120:01:15

I don't think young Billy is too fond of the rain.

0:01:150:01:18

-Really, Billy?

-Everything is wet and soggy and...there's nothing to do.

0:01:180:01:24

-But there's lots of fun things to do in the rain, Billy!

-That's right!

0:01:240:01:29

I used to be a fisherman on Henderson Lake in Canada,

0:01:290:01:33

one of the rainiest places on Earth! Didn't stop us from working, though.

0:01:330:01:37

In fact, we used to tie umbrellas to our heads...

0:01:370:01:42

I think I'd rather stay inside and play this game on the laptop.

0:01:420:01:46

OK, Billy. Maybe later.

0:01:460:01:49

And I'd help you, May, but there's work to be done round here.

0:01:490:01:54

But look! Here comes Dara and her friends now!

0:01:550:02:00

-Hi, everyone!

-Hi, Dara!

0:02:010:02:04

-Hi, Rhyanna.

-Hi.

0:02:060:02:08

-Hi, Tiana.

-Hi.

-Hi, Kezia.

-Hi.

0:02:080:02:12

-Shall we have some fun in Big Soggy Park?!

-Yes!

0:02:120:02:17

Ah! I think I might have felt a drop of rain!

0:02:190:02:24

-OK, bags on shoulders...

-ALL: Bags on shoulders!

0:02:250:02:30

-..wellies on toes...

-ALL: Wellies on toes!

0:02:300:02:31

..it's time for fun in the rain so...

0:02:310:02:38

ALL: Off we go!

0:02:380:02:40

So the rain falls down from the sky into the soil here

0:03:160:03:20

and then all these lovely flowers soak it up through their roots,

0:03:200:03:25

keeping them healthy!

0:03:250:03:27

Feel how soft and squidgy the rain makes the soil. Can you feel that?

0:03:270:03:33

-What's everyone up to?

-Oh, hi, Billy.

0:03:330:03:36

I was just explaining that the rain helps to keep the plants and flowers

0:03:360:03:43

-in Big City Park lovely and healthy.

-Plants and flowers like the rain?

0:03:430:03:48

They do indeed! It's the rain that keeps Big City Park lush and green.

0:03:480:03:54

Oh! I think I just felt some water on my nose!

0:03:540:03:59

Come on, let's go! Come on, Billy! Come on, Dara!

0:03:590:04:04

Oh, no! I need to find some shelter, quick!

0:04:040:04:09

Are you sure you don't want to come out for a splash around, Billy?

0:04:330:04:39

That just looks too wet and muddy. It just doesn't look much fun.

0:04:390:04:44

What fun can YOU have when you play outside and it's raining? ..Dara?

0:04:440:04:50

-I'm going to need some help with this one.

-I'm on my way!

0:04:500:04:55

-Oh, I wish I hadn't come out now.

-Oh, Billy!

0:04:550:04:59

RHYTHMIC DRUMMING STARTS

0:05:050:05:08

RUAIRI STARTS CHANTING

0:05:080:05:10

Um...Ruairi, what are you doing?!

0:05:130:05:16

-I'm just doing a Big City Park rain dance.

-A rain dance?

0:05:160:05:22

Oh, aye. A rain dance.

0:05:220:05:24

It's a dance that's supposed to bring out the rain.

0:05:240:05:29

I learnt it from the Native American Qahpo tribe when I lived in Missouri

0:05:290:05:34

although I have adapted it to suit my own style.

0:05:340:05:38

Billy is trapped under the big oak tree because of the rain

0:05:380:05:41

-and he won't come out until he's sure it won't rain on him!

-Trapped?

0:05:410:05:46

I'm going to check in with my city friends,

0:05:460:05:49

see what they do when it's raining.

0:05:490:05:51

I'd better leave this dance until later, then.

0:05:510:05:55

I remember when I was a lad,

0:05:570:06:00

trekking through India during monsoon season.

0:06:000:06:04

-See you later!

-Wait a second, Dara!

-Yeah?

0:06:040:06:08

They're too small for me now so I think you should give them to Billy.

0:06:080:06:14

You could put a firehose on him and he'll stay dry. I guarantee it!

0:06:140:06:20

-Thanks, Ruairi.

-You're welcome!

-See you later!

-Bye!

0:06:200:06:26

OK, let's see... Um...

0:06:280:06:31

Raining...

0:06:320:06:34

Water...

0:06:340:06:37

Here we are!

0:06:410:06:43

"Rain rain everywhere." That's it!

0:06:430:06:47

From Big City Park to the friends in the big city!

0:06:470:06:52

Tell us what you know!

0:06:520:06:55

We're going out to play in the rain.

0:06:580:07:00

We're putting on our rain clothes. These are our waterproofs.

0:07:000:07:05

-This is our raincoat.

-And these are our welly boots.

0:07:050:07:11

We're going outside!

0:07:110:07:14

BOTH: We're ready to play in the rain!

0:07:140:07:17

There's so many fun things to do in the rain.

0:07:170:07:21

It's raining!

0:07:220:07:25

CHILDREN: Splash! Splash! Splash!

0:07:250:07:28

We're jumping in the puddles!

0:07:300:07:33

CHILDREN CHANT: We love rain! We love rain!

0:07:330:07:37

Hi, Mum.

0:07:370:07:40

We have rain clothes. We can play in the rain!

0:07:400:07:46

In the rain! Out the rain!

0:07:460:07:49

In the rain! Out the rain!

0:07:490:07:52

My coat keeps my body dry.

0:07:520:07:55

My feet stay dry in these boots.

0:07:580:08:00

Always wear the proper clothes when you're playing in the rain.

0:08:000:08:05

I love playing with my friends in the rain.

0:08:050:08:08

Bye, Dara!

0:08:080:08:10

Bye!

0:08:100:08:12

-Found out for you, May!

-Found out what, Dara?

0:08:180:08:22

If we have the right clothes on,

0:08:220:08:25

we can have lots of fun in the rain without getting wet!

0:08:250:08:29

And Ruairi asked me to give you these.

0:08:290:08:32

Some wellies...

0:08:320:08:34

and...a raincoat!

0:08:340:08:38

-Now you can have fun in the rain without getting wet!

-Um...

0:08:380:08:43

I'm still not sure.

0:08:430:08:45

But, Billy, it's great fun to play and splash around in the puddles!

0:08:460:08:52

SPLASH! Oh!

0:08:520:08:54

Look at these big juicy vegetables! Perfect for roasting.

0:08:560:09:01

They couldn't have grown this big without the good old rain!

0:09:010:09:07

I'll have to remember to empty those rain-catching umbrellas later on.

0:09:080:09:12

Quickly, May, I think I can feel more raindrops!

0:09:120:09:17

We've got to find shelter! Quick!

0:09:170:09:20

SPLASH! ..SPLASH!

0:09:230:09:26

Wow!

0:09:260:09:28

This isn't too bad! It's not too bad at all!

0:09:280:09:33

In fact, it's kind of fun!

0:09:350:09:38

See? What did I tell you, Billy?

0:09:400:09:43

Well, I'd better call them in.

0:09:450:09:48

-CLANG!

-Ah!

0:10:030:10:06

That's Ruairi calling us to the Story Circle!

0:10:080:10:12

-I'll go and get Dara and her friends.

-I'll catch up with you.

-OK.

0:10:120:10:17

-Aaargh!

-RINGING STOPS

0:10:190:10:22

Oh! Every time!

0:10:240:10:27

-Hi, Ruairi.

-Hello! Hello, my soggy explorers!

0:10:390:10:43

-Well, did yous all have a good day?

-ALL: Yeah!

0:10:430:10:49

-What was your favourite thing?

-Jumping in puddles.

0:10:490:10:52

Catching water.

0:10:520:10:55

Picking up things off the ground.

0:10:550:10:58

With all this rain, the plants in Big City Park won't be too thirsty.

0:10:580:11:03

Oh, Billy! Looks like you're finally ready for the rain!

0:11:030:11:08

Yes, I am, Ruairi!

0:11:080:11:12

I never knew that splashing in puddles could be so much fun!

0:11:120:11:16

That's the thing. You never know how much fun something is going to be

0:11:160:11:22

until you give it a go.

0:11:220:11:25

Now, who wants some nice roasted vegetables fresh from my garden?

0:11:250:11:29

ALL: Me!

0:11:290:11:32

-Well, tuck in!

-Thanks, Ruairi!

0:11:320:11:34

It is fun to play and splash about.

0:11:420:11:45

To run and jump and kick and...

0:11:450:11:49

shout!

0:11:490:11:50

The rain can shower and drip and fall,

0:11:500:11:53

just put on your wellies and have a ball!

0:11:530:11:59

Yeah!

0:11:590:12:01

Tiana, would you like to put your jar of rainwater

0:12:060:12:09

into Ruairi's treasure chest? ..Thank you.

0:12:090:12:14

That'll remind us of all the fun we've had today!

0:12:160:12:18

Wow! Authentic Big City Park rainwater!

0:12:180:12:23

See, Billy...?

0:12:230:12:25

Billy?

0:12:250:12:27

-What's the matter?

-Oh...nothing.

0:12:270:12:30

It's just that now I have my new raincoat and wellies...

0:12:300:12:34

I want to play in the rain!

0:12:340:12:37

But it's stopped!

0:12:370:12:39

Well, there IS something we can do about that!

0:12:390:12:44

Dara, music please!

0:12:440:12:46

It's been another great day here in Big City Park. Join us again soon.

0:12:530:12:57

CHANTING

0:12:570:13:01

It's my rain dance! I learned it from the Qahpo tribe!

0:13:010:13:06

Oh!

0:13:230:13:24

THEY ALL LAUGH
