Hello. We're going on holiday to the Isle of Arran in our green balloon.

Look! There it is down below. We're coming in to land.

ALL: Hello!

0:01:530:01:56

Hi, I'm Ant.

0:01:580:02:00

-Hi, I'm Alistair and this is my brother Archie.

-Hello.

0:02:000:02:04

-Hi, I'm Lily-Rose.

-I'm Kat and this is my dog, Skipper.

0:02:040:02:08

Hello, Skipper.

0:02:080:02:10

I'm Nature Chris. Thanks for bringing us here. What will you show us?

0:02:100:02:15

A nature treasure hunt.

0:02:150:02:16

You need to use all your senses to find out the riddles.

0:02:160:02:21

Great. I love riddles.

0:02:210:02:23

I love riddles too. What is on this treasure hunt?

0:02:230:02:26

There's lots of things and there's gonna be a surprise at the end.

0:02:260:02:30

I love surprises. What is it?

0:02:300:02:32

I can't tell you or you might spoil it.

0:02:320:02:35

Oooh!

0:02:350:02:36

Let's go so we can find out what the surprise is.

0:02:360:02:40

Before the treasure hunt,

0:02:400:02:41

we should do the Green Balloon Club chant.

0:02:410:02:44

ALL: Yay!

0:02:440:02:46

ALL: We love animals, plants and birds

0:02:500:02:53

We love snails and slugs

0:02:530:02:55

Large and small, we love them all

0:02:550:02:58

And we never, ever step on bugs

0:02:580:03:01

Cos we are the Green Balloon Club!

0:03:010:03:05

I think it's time for your first riddle.

0:03:050:03:08

ALL: Yes!

0:03:080:03:11

As you walk through the woods,

0:03:110:03:13

use your nose well

0:03:130:03:15

to find a plant with an unusual smell.

0:03:150:03:18

Oooh!

0:03:180:03:20

Smell out a plant.

0:03:200:03:22

Any ideas what we're looking for?

0:03:220:03:25

-I can smell...garlic.

-Yeah, garlic.

0:03:250:03:27

Could it be wild garlic?

0:03:270:03:29

-Let's go and see.

-Come on. Let's have a look, guys.

0:03:290:03:33

THEY CHATTER

0:03:330:03:36

Don't those bluebells look pretty, Lily-Rose.

0:03:410:03:46

Yes, they do.

0:03:460:03:47

If there's bluebells, there's probably wild garlic.

0:03:470:03:51

I can still smell the garlic.

0:03:550:03:57

So can I.

0:03:570:03:59

It looks like it's been snowing.

0:03:590:04:02

It does. There must be a blossom tree somewhere.

0:04:020:04:05

Look! There's loads of it.

0:04:080:04:13

I can certainly smell a lot of garlic.

0:04:130:04:16

So can I.

0:04:160:04:18

I really stinks. Shall we stop here for a closer look?

0:04:180:04:21

Let's have a look here.

0:04:210:04:23

Look. It's got green in the middle and then it's got the petals.

0:04:260:04:32

-And it smells lovely.

-They're beautiful flowers, aren't they?

0:04:320:04:36

-Skipper's smelling them.

-She is. Who likes garlic?

0:04:360:04:39

ALL: Me!

0:04:390:04:40

Does anyone want to try it?

0:04:400:04:42

Take a little bit of the leaves. Not too much cos it's quite strong.

0:04:420:04:47

And then have a taste. Mmm. What do you think?

0:04:470:04:52

Mmm.

0:04:550:04:56

It's very strong.

0:04:560:04:59

It is but I quite like it.

0:04:590:05:01

Bleugh! Yuk!

0:05:050:05:08

Nature Chris, what else can you eat in the forest?

0:05:080:05:11

Actually, Kat, you shouldn't eat anything in the forest

0:05:110:05:15

unless you're with an adult who knows what they're doing.

0:05:150:05:19

I'd like wild garlic in my garden.

0:05:190:05:22

My friend Kieron's got a lovely garden. You'd like it, Lily-Rose.

0:05:220:05:27

-Hi, I'm Kieron.

-I'm Natasha.

0:05:330:05:36

This is my garden. Lily-Rose, you'll love this.

0:05:360:05:39

-Can I have a look around?

-Sure. Come on.

0:05:390:05:42

Let's have a look at the herb garden.

0:05:480:05:50

This herb's mint.

0:05:500:05:53

-Can you taste the mint?

-Yeah.

0:05:530:05:57

As you know, you get peppermint sweets. They taste a bit like that.

0:05:570:06:02

That's nice.

0:06:020:06:04

-What are those blue flowers?

-Oh, them.

0:06:040:06:09

Those are forget-me-nots.

0:06:090:06:11

If you come over here, this one's fennel.

0:06:110:06:17

-It tastes a bit like liquorice.

-It's really fine but a little bit bushy.

0:06:170:06:22

-What's next?

-These are thyme.

0:06:220:06:25

-I've never seen such tiny flowers.

-Yeah, they are really small.

0:06:250:06:30

I think you'll like this one here.

0:06:300:06:32

-Are they stinging nettles?

-Yup. We grow them here.

0:06:320:06:36

You can have them in soup because when they're boiled,

0:06:360:06:39

it takes the sting away.

0:06:390:06:40

-I won't touch them, they might sting me.

-That's wise.

0:06:400:06:44

Let's make a willow den.

0:06:440:06:46

That sounds cool.

0:06:460:06:47

I've already started it.

0:06:470:06:51

Willow is soft and bendy. Once it's in the ground, it will keep growing.

0:06:510:06:55

It's hard.

0:06:550:06:57

It's tricky. You need to be strong to make a willow den.

0:06:570:07:01

This is fun, making a den.

0:07:030:07:06

I'm gonna tie the willow together to keep its shape.

0:07:060:07:09

I've never made a willow den before.

0:07:110:07:15

You bend the willow together to make a structure.

0:07:150:07:19

This one.

0:07:220:07:24

If we weave more willow, it will be stronger.

0:07:260:07:29

Thanks for showing me round your garden.

0:07:360:07:39

I had fun making the willow dome.

0:07:390:07:41

BOTH: Bye!

0:07:410:07:43

THEY LAUGH

0:07:590:08:02

Hurry up, Lily-Rose.

0:08:040:08:06

I'm here.

0:08:060:08:07

-Right, I think it might be time for the next clue.

-Yeah.

0:08:070:08:12

The woods are still but do not fear.

0:08:120:08:15

Use your eyes to find signs that life is near.

0:08:150:08:20

Eyes.

0:08:200:08:21

Eyes, that's right.

0:08:210:08:23

This one, we've got to use our eyes to spot signs of life.

0:08:230:08:26

What might we see?

0:08:260:08:28

-Paw prints, like Skipper's.

-That's right. Anything else?

0:08:280:08:33

Things that have been chewed on.

0:08:330:08:35

Good idea, Ant. Things that animals have nibbled on.

0:08:350:08:39

Keep your eyes open for those.

0:08:390:08:41

Let's split up and see what we can spot.

0:08:410:08:44

Oh, what's Skipper found?

0:08:500:08:52

-What have you got, girl?

-It's a little hole.

0:08:520:08:55

What do you think made that then?

0:08:550:08:57

Maybe a rabbit.

0:08:570:08:59

It could be a rabbit. It's very small though.

0:08:590:09:02

Maybe a rat.

0:09:020:09:03

Could be a rat.

0:09:030:09:04

-A mouse?

-A mouse.

0:09:040:09:06

That's good cos it's definitely a small hole.

0:09:060:09:10

Maybe we can find something the animal left outside its house.

0:09:100:09:14

Something that's been nibbled. Shall we keep looking?

0:09:140:09:18

BOTH: Yeah.

0:09:180:09:19

OK, let's go.

0:09:190:09:20

Kat, look. What are they?

0:09:240:09:27

I think an animal has been nibbling on them.

0:09:270:09:30

Alistair?

0:09:300:09:31

-Yeah?

-Do you know what they are?

0:09:310:09:34

I think it was a pine cone. It's been nibbled.

0:09:340:09:38

-What by?

-I think a red squirrel.

0:09:380:09:43

We only get grey squirrels where we live.

0:09:430:09:46

We only get red squirrels where we live.

0:09:460:09:49

I would love to see a red squirrel, wouldn't you, Kat?

0:09:490:09:54

Shall we see if we can find one?

0:09:540:09:56

Cool. Come on, let's go see.

0:09:560:09:59

Hmm. I wonder where they could have got to.

0:10:010:10:05

BOTH: BOO!

0:10:080:10:10

HE SCREAMS

0:10:100:10:12

Oh, you lot! Grrr!

0:10:120:10:14

-Come on then.

-The dark is scary.

-It is.

0:10:160:10:20

These trees are blocking the light right out.

0:10:200:10:24

Oh, there you are. I couldn't see you.

0:10:240:10:26

Down there, it's green, but up here it's all black and dark.

0:10:290:10:34

-It is. Quite spooky, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:10:340:10:37

Look at the floor. It's got twigs on.

0:10:370:10:39

I think this is a good place to read the next clue. What do you think?

0:10:390:10:43

-Yeah.

-Shall we do that?

-Yeah.

0:10:430:10:46

So gather round. Come on.

0:10:460:10:49

Where the forest gets really dark,

0:10:490:10:52

feel your way and explore the bark.

0:10:520:10:54

-The trees!

-The bark. The trees, yeah!

0:10:540:10:58

So this clue is about using your sense of touch to feel the bark.

0:10:580:11:03

Let's find a tree and see what we can feel.

0:11:030:11:06

It feels all prickly, Nature Chris.

0:11:090:11:14

It feels very rough.

0:11:140:11:17

It's soft and a bit like its skin.

0:11:170:11:20

This one's not hard like the others. Why do you think that is?

0:11:200:11:24

It hasn't grown its full size?

0:11:240:11:26

Not quite. These soft bits are a different colour. Describe those too.

0:11:260:11:31

They're green and soft, and look like they've got holes in them.

0:11:310:11:36

This soft stuff is called moss.

0:11:360:11:41

-Have you ever heard of moss?

-No.

0:11:410:11:44

-Have you seen it on anything else?

-I've seen it on bricks.

0:11:440:11:48

-It'll grow on almost any surface.

-It's so soft.

0:11:480:11:52

It is and moss likes to grow in dark places.

0:11:520:11:56

This is a perfect place for it, isn't it?

0:11:560:11:59

Yes. It's a dark, big forest.

0:11:590:12:01

It grows right up there. Can you see it at the top?

0:12:010:12:04

Whoa! I want to climb up it, it's so big.

0:12:040:12:09

These are all prickly.

0:12:100:12:13

I think these are the pines that have fallen off the tree.

0:12:130:12:17

And the bark's quite rough too.

0:12:170:12:21

I think it's time we found out what Jelly's up to today.

0:12:210:12:25

This is special reporter Jelly reporting for the Green Balloon Club.

0:12:290:12:33

And today, I'm at the Norfolk Show.

0:12:330:12:36

I'm going to meet a Green Balloon Club member

0:12:360:12:40

who really, really, really loves sheep. So let's go.

0:12:400:12:44

Oh, hello. Are you Poppy?

0:12:440:12:47

-Yes. Hello, Jelly.

-Hello.

0:12:470:12:49

I've heard that you really like sheep.

0:12:490:12:52

I LOVE sheep.

0:12:520:12:54

So do I. Why do you like them so much?

0:12:540:12:57

I can show you the different types.

0:12:570:12:59

Oh, yeah. Let's go.

0:12:590:13:01

Oh, now, Poppy, this is not a sheep.

0:13:040:13:07

-Yes, it is.

-It's not.

-It's a Lincoln Longwool.

0:13:070:13:11

A Lincoln Longwool. Oh, yes. He's got really long wool, hasn't he?

0:13:110:13:16

This is a very shaggy one.

0:13:200:13:23

What type of sheep is he?

0:13:250:13:27

This is a Norfolk Horn.

0:13:270:13:30

-Look at his curly-wurly horns.

-Oh, yes. Look at him. He's so lovely.

0:13:300:13:35

A Norfolk Horn. Let's find some more.

0:13:350:13:38

These are my favourite sheep because of their colour.

0:13:400:13:44

-What are they called?

-Jacobs.

0:13:440:13:47

Hello, Jacob sheep.

0:13:470:13:48

And this is my favourite too because she's my sheep.

0:13:480:13:52

-Oh, she's so sweet.

-Her name's Mildred.

0:13:520:13:55

Mildred. Hello, Mildred.

0:13:550:13:57

-Mildred is a southdown sheep.

-A southdown sheep. I see.

0:13:570:14:04

And what sort of thing do you do

0:14:040:14:06

-to get her ready today?

-I had to wash and trim her.

0:14:060:14:09

So she's looking all sparkling.

0:14:090:14:12

I'm going to enter her in a young handler competition.

0:14:120:14:16

Ooh, a young handler competition.

0:14:160:14:18

I'm gonna come and cheer you on.

0:14:180:14:21

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Watch out for me. I'll see you later. Bye.

-Bye.

0:14:210:14:26

Oh, good luck!

0:14:260:14:27

Thank you, Jelly.

0:14:270:14:29

There she is. Good luck, Poppy. Good luck, Mildred.

0:14:290:14:33

They're walking round in a circle now, presenting to the judges.

0:14:330:14:38

"Maaah," "maaah." That's what they're saying.

0:14:380:14:41

Oh, well done, Poppy. Two, four, six, eight, who do we appreciate?

0:14:410:14:47

Poppy and Mildred. Woooh!

0:14:470:14:50

The judges are talking to her.

0:14:500:14:52

-Does she have a name?

-Yes. Mildred.

0:14:520:14:55

I like the name Mildred.

0:14:550:14:57

They're walking her up and down for the judge.

0:14:570:15:01

The tension is rising.

0:15:010:15:03

Oh, the judges are ready. They've made their decision.

0:15:030:15:08

Aw, and they're heading for the boys. Well done. Well done.

0:15:080:15:12

Never mind.

0:15:120:15:15

It's not about winning.

0:15:150:15:17

Oh! She got a prize! What is it?

0:15:170:15:22

Oh, I wonder what it is. Oh, Poppy, well done.

0:15:220:15:26

Oh, brilliant.

0:15:260:15:28

Oh, Poppy. You did so brilliantly and so did Mildred.

0:15:310:15:36

-Didn't she?

-Yes.

0:15:360:15:38

-Did you enjoy it?

-Yes.

-It was so good, wasn't it?

0:15:380:15:41

Thank you for cheering, Jelly.

0:15:410:15:43

This is special reporter Jelly at the Norfolk Show,

0:15:430:15:48

with the bestest sheep and bestest sheep handler.

0:15:480:15:51

Reporting for Green Balloon Club. Up, up and away.

0:15:510:15:55

Wow, Lily-Rose. Look at the river.

0:16:070:16:10

It's making a reflection of the trees.

0:16:100:16:13

It's beautiful.

0:16:130:16:16

-And it's all shimmery.

-Yes, and I love it.

0:16:160:16:19

-Is everyone all right?

-My legs are hurting, Nature Chris.

0:16:190:16:23

-Are yours hurting?

-Yeah, they are a bit.

0:16:230:16:26

-Steep hill, isn't it?

-Yes.

0:16:260:16:31

Are we nearly there yet, guys. I think I need a rest.

0:16:310:16:35

Come on, you two.

0:16:350:16:39

So are we nearly at the top?

0:16:390:16:42

I think now's the time to see our final clue.

0:16:420:16:45

Oh, fantastic. Last clue, everyone. Listen carefully.

0:16:450:16:49

Now, use your ears you're getting there.

0:16:490:16:52

What's that rushing sound you hear?

0:16:520:16:54

BOTH: The river!

0:16:540:16:56

The stream?

0:16:560:16:57

Right, we can hear water, can we? Let's go and have a look. Come on.

0:16:570:17:02

-Can you still hear it?

-Yeah, I can still hear it.

0:17:020:17:06

-Skipper wants to get up there.

-She's desperate.

0:17:060:17:10

ALL: Wow!

0:17:100:17:14

-Wow. A waterfall.

-That was what the sound was.

0:17:140:17:19

That's right. That's what we could hear all along.

0:17:190:17:22

That's a short waterfall and that one is a big one.

0:17:220:17:26

That's right there's one at the top

0:17:260:17:29

and then a really big one at the bottom.

0:17:290:17:31

First it's a waterfall,

0:17:310:17:33

then it's a stream and then a river.

0:17:330:17:35

Then that river joins to the sea.

0:17:350:17:39

How high do you think it is?

0:17:390:17:41

ALL: Very high!

0:17:410:17:42

Very high?

0:17:420:17:44

I would not want to jump down there.

0:17:440:17:46

I don't think it would be good for you to jump down there.

0:17:460:17:50

It's about 40 metres in total.

0:17:500:17:52

-That is so big!

-It is, isn't it?

0:17:520:17:55

The bottom looks like steam.

0:17:550:17:58

It does look a bit like steam at the bottom, doesn't it?

0:17:580:18:02

That's where it's hitting the rocks and coming up.

0:18:020:18:05

It looks like a cloud of dust.

0:18:050:18:07

It does. All the spray coming up. It looks like dust.

0:18:070:18:12

Listen to the sound, it's lovely.

0:18:120:18:14

WATER HISSES

0:18:140:18:17

BOTH: Hello!

0:18:260:18:28

-I'm Chloe.

-And I'm Mhari.

0:18:280:18:31

-This is our fairy castle.

-But it's not finished yet.

0:18:310:18:37

We're collecting shells to decorate it.

0:18:370:18:42

I wonder what different shells we'll find.

0:18:420:18:46

Mhari, come and see this.

0:18:460:18:50

What have you found?

0:18:500:18:52

-Oh, Mhari, look.

-What is it?

0:18:520:18:55

Scallop shell.

0:18:550:18:56

Look at the patterns on it. Look at the wavy lines.

0:18:560:19:01

This shell's really bumpy.

0:19:010:19:05

Wow, look at that one.

0:19:070:19:10

-It's got another bit attached to it.

-It's a razor shell.

0:19:100:19:15

There's a wee long creature that lives inside the razor shell.

0:19:150:19:20

They go into the ground and when there's something in the sea,

0:19:200:19:25

they pop up and get it.

0:19:250:19:27

There must be lots up here.

0:19:270:19:32

Look, Mhari, here's a limpet.

0:19:320:19:34

This has not got the living creature in it.

0:19:340:19:37

-I found one as well.

-Yeah.

0:19:370:19:39

They stick to the rocks and you can't pull them off.

0:19:390:19:44

I found limpets.

0:19:460:19:48

If the shells have a living creature in it,

0:19:500:19:53

we can't take them because they'll die.

0:19:530:19:56

Mhari, there's more of them here.

0:19:560:19:58

We found so many lovely shells.

0:19:580:20:01

It's nice what you can find on these beaches on Arran.

0:20:010:20:05

It's a mussel.

0:20:050:20:06

It's a pretty one.

0:20:060:20:08

This one's good for a fairy castle cos it looks like fairy wings.

0:20:100:20:16

Right. Let's decorate our fairy castle.

0:20:160:20:20

Yes. Let's make them look pretty.

0:20:200:20:22

The scallop's my favourite shell.

0:20:380:20:41

-It's looking good.

-Yes. Really good.

0:20:460:20:48

There's so many shells to make our sand castle perfect,

0:20:530:20:57

-aren't there, Mhari?

-Yes.

0:20:570:20:59

BOTH: Bye!

0:20:590:21:00

That was a great nature treasure hunt, Archie and Alistair.

0:21:100:21:14

-We should make one for you now.

-What a great idea.

0:21:140:21:17

But we don't have time. We've got to get back to the Green Balloon.

0:21:170:21:22

ALL: Aw!

0:21:220:21:23

Maybe there is time for one more thing.

0:21:230:21:26

ALL: Time for a song.

0:21:260:21:30

# Let's go together somewhere we haven't been

0:21:300:21:35

# Making friends and doing things in places never seen

0:21:350:21:39

# Oh, it might be for a week or just one day

0:21:390:21:43

# Let's go now the sun is out it's good to get away

0:21:430:21:46

# Oh, it's such a lovely morning and it's good to get away

0:21:460:21:50

# We're on the Isle of Arran surrounded by the sea

0:21:500:21:54

# We can dive for nature's treasures if the oyster catcher's free

0:21:540:21:58

# And in the height of summer we'll watch the seals sunbathe

0:21:580:22:01

# Lying on the rocks what a life they've got splashed by the waves

0:22:010:22:06

# From the cloud-covered mountains to the floating volcano

0:22:060:22:09

# There's waterfalls and stepping stones and streams so clean and pure

0:22:090:22:13

# But be careful of the anthills when you're walking through the glen

0:22:130:22:17

# And have such fun I know we'll want to come back again

0:22:170:22:21

# Let's go together somewhere we haven't been

0:22:210:22:25

# Making friends and doing things in places never seen

0:22:250:22:28

# Oh, it might be for a week or just one day

0:22:280:22:33

# Let's go now the sun is out it's good to get away

0:22:330:22:36

# Oh, it's such a lovely morning and it's good to get away

0:22:360:22:40

# See the red deer by the castle and squirrels jumping poles

0:22:400:22:44

# And highland cows put their tongues right out

0:22:440:22:46

# And stick them up their nose

0:22:460:22:49

# On the beach the crabs and starfish are hiding in the sand

0:22:490:22:52

# The ducks and gulls spread their wings

0:22:520:22:54

# As they're coming in to land

0:22:540:22:56

# It's such a lovely island so full of wondrous things

0:22:560:23:00

# It makes me feel so happy when I dance and smile and sing

0:23:000:23:04

# So next time you feel grumpy

0:23:040:23:06

# And things don't go your way don't feel sad just pack your bag

0:23:060:23:10

# It's time to get away

0:23:100:23:12

# Let's go together somewhere we haven't been

0:23:120:23:15

# Making friends and doing things in places never seen

0:23:150:23:19

# Oh, it might be for a week or just one day

0:23:190:23:23

# Let's go now the sun is out it's good to get away

0:23:230:23:27

# Let's go together somewhere we haven't been

0:23:270:23:30

# Making friends and doing things in places never seen

0:23:300:23:34

# Oh, it might be for a week or just one day

0:23:340:23:38

# Let's go now the sun is out it's good to get away

0:23:380:23:42

# Oh, it's such a lovely morning and it's good to get away

0:23:420:23:46

# Now the Green Balloon is boarding it was good to get away. #
