0:01:13 > 0:01:15That's right. We do the Green Balloon Club chant.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Faye and Cameron are doing it with us.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34And we never ever step on ants
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Because we are the Green Balloon Club.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Well done, Faye and Cameron.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Did you remember to do the secret sign too?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45It goes like this. Just make a balloon with your hands.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Well done. Why don't we look on the computer
0:01:49 > 0:01:53to see if we can find any messages from our members?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Wow! We've got lots of them.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Which one shall I pick?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I'll pick this one.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05It's from Betty and Stanley.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Hello.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Hello. We've got a surprise to show you.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Come on, Stanley.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Come on.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28There's a bird box in the tree.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Shh. I think I can hear some birdies.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41I can hear the birdies.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43CHIRPING
0:02:45 > 0:02:47It's a birdie...
0:02:47 > 0:02:49in the birdie box.
0:02:49 > 0:02:55There's a camera in the birdie box. Let's go and take a look.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Take a look.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Wow, look at all the eggs.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13There's ten eggs.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17The mummy's flown in.
0:03:17 > 0:03:23She sits on her eggs to keep them warm so they hatch.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26She's wriggling like jelly now.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Jelly?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39There is the daddy.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42He's come to give the mummy some food.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47The birdies are called bluetits.
0:03:47 > 0:03:53Our pictures aren't in colour, but we like it that way.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Here's what they look like in colour.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58They have blue, green and yellow feathers with white cheeks
0:03:58 > 0:04:03and black stripes running across their eyes.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07We're coming another day to see the birdies hatch.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Bye. Let us know what happens.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Wow. That's exciting. Your own baby birds in your garden.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Let's see what Cat and Skipper are up to.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Hi, Cat. Hi, Skipper.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Hello. Me and Skipper are going to do something very exciting today.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35We're going to meet someone to teach us how to doggy dance. Come on!
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- Good boy.- Hello, Sue.- Hello, Cat. Have you met Chester?
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Hello, Chester.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- HE BARKS - This is Chester. One of Skippers friends.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50He belongs to Sue.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Sue and Chester are really good doggy dancers. Watch this.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Good boy.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Bow for me. Good boy.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52That was brilliant. We loved it, didn't we, Skipper.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56We enjoyed doing that. I'm really glad you enjoyed it too.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Now it's our turn.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Oh, no. I don't think Skipper thinks we can do it.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Of course you will. With practise you can do anything.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09And I know you already know some tricks.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Would you like to show me?- OK.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Come on.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Right. Sit.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40and you've got the start of a routine.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43We will. We can't wait to do a whole dance
0:06:43 > 0:06:45like you and Chester, can we Skipper?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50# Skipper's in her basket lying by the window

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Two legs or four legs, which is best?
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Most animals have four, but two have the rest
0:09:27 > 0:09:33Some creatures have four legs like dogs, lizards and cats
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Others have just two, like humans, birds and bats
0:09:38 > 0:09:42The cheater is the fastest and he has four
0:09:42 > 0:09:47But bugs aren't so quick and most of them have more
0:09:47 > 0:09:52Now I know someone who would never be late
0:09:52 > 0:09:55For she's a spider and she has eight
0:09:55 > 0:10:00The giraffe's four legs are long and tall
0:10:00 > 0:10:05And the ant's six legs are very, very small
0:10:05 > 0:10:09I think my legs are better than them all.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11That was a poem by Katie
0:10:11 > 0:10:13and she's one of our Green Balloon Club members.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Isn't she clever? Let's see what other messages we have.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19HORN TOOTS
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Wow, look. There's one from Dan.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25He's four today. Happy Birthday, Dan.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28He's at the Norfolk show. Let's see what else he's up to.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37This is Daniel and his cousin Melissa.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Their family has lots of goats.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Daniel and Melissa will be taking part
0:10:42 > 0:10:45in the young goat handler competition.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Look at the different types of goats they have.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54Some of them have sticky up ears and some of them have floppy ears.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57They both love their goats very much.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Ouch!
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Cheeky!
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Melissa's going first in the competition with her goat.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08To show your goat you have to make sure you're smartly dressed
0:11:08 > 0:11:10wearing a nice white coat.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13The judges are looking to see if the young handlers
0:11:13 > 0:11:14can control their goats.
0:11:14 > 0:11:20And that both the goat and the handler look really smart.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Look at the judge making notes.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Melissa has to make sure her goat stands up perfectly.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Then the judge asks her to take the goat for a walk
0:11:31 > 0:11:34so they can see how Melissa handles it.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38The judge checks the teeth and feet
0:11:38 > 0:11:42to make sure the goat is nice and healthy.
0:11:42 > 0:11:48Now the judges are making up their minds.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Good luck, Melissa.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Look! The judge is giving Melissa an award.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00She's won the fourth prize. Well done, Melissa.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Now it's Daniel's turn to show his goat.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07He looks very smart in his farmers hat.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11It's his birthday today. Let's hope he wins a prize.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Daniel is handling the goat with the floppy ears.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18They're called anglo-nubians.
0:12:18 > 0:12:24The judge checks the goat is nice and healthy.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28It's Daniel's turn to show his goat off to the judges
0:12:28 > 0:12:29by taking it for a walk.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32SHE GASPS Good job, Daniel.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34APPLAUSE
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Look! Daniel's being given an award.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40He's won a blue prize. That's second place.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Well done, Daniel.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Look at all the awards Daniel and his cousin Melissa have won.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49BOTH: Bye!
0:14:21 > 0:14:26Hi, I'm Ant and I'm looking for creatures that make you squirm.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42I'm going on a bug hunt. Do you want to come with me?
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- Hi, I'm Ant and this is Bradley.- Hi.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54He lives here at the butterfly house and I'm on a bug hunt.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57So I though you'd be the perfect person to help me.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Can you show me around?- Yeah, sure.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01OK then. Let's go.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Look at that fish.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Yes, that's really big.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- I think that's the biggest one in the pond.- Yes.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- HE GASPS - Look what we found.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Do you know what they are?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32I spy some stick insects.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Wow.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36We have to pick them up very carefully.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38They feel very prickly.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42That's why they're called giant prickly stick insects.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Mine's staying really still.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47I think it thinks I'm going to eat it, but I'm not.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Have you noticed they've got, like, leaves on their back?
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Yes. They look a bit like wings.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56So, what are you going to call yours?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Spikes. Because it's spiky.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I think I might call mine Scorpio
0:16:01 > 0:16:05because its tail goes up like a Scorpio.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08It's time to make a bug file.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Enter data.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Name - Giant prickly stick insect.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16They have six legs.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Life span - one year.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22I give the stick insect a squirm rating of 1 out of 5
0:16:22 > 0:16:25because I wasn't really scared of them.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Bug file complete.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33I have a fascinating fact for you about stick insects.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38Did you know that stick insects shed their skin like snakes?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Come on, let's go see what else we can find.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45These are giant African land snails.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47You normally see snails in your garden,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49but not this big!
0:16:49 > 0:16:52The main body of a snail is called a foot.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- But that doesn't look much like our foot, does it?- No.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Look at the size of your snail's foot!
0:16:59 > 0:17:02It's massive.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Snails are very slimy.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07They have a shell to protect themselves
0:17:07 > 0:17:12- from predators that could eat them.- Yes.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15It's time to make a bug file.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Enter data.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Name - Giant African land snail.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Well it has one foot.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Life span - five years.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31I give the snails a squirm rating of 2 out of 5
0:17:31 > 0:17:34because I didn't really like them because they were slimy.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Bug file complete.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41I have a fascinating fact for you about snails.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Did you know that the snail is both male and female.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Isn't that cool?!
0:17:46 > 0:17:51I wonder, if a snail could talk would it talk really slow?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Shall we talk slow like a snail would?
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Yes.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58BOTH: By-y-y-y-y-ye.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Curled in her basket, Skipper is dreaming.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06She's dreaming of fun in the city today.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Then in a twinkle with a wag of her tail
0:18:12 > 0:18:15she's off on adventures in lands far, far away.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Oh, cool! What a big city.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Look at all those tall buildings.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44There's not many animals here,
0:18:44 > 0:18:45but maybe there are some parks.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50Barking bones! What's that?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52And that?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55And that?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Ah, monkeys!
0:18:57 > 0:19:03In the city? Brrr, I must be dreaming.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08Skipper's discovered the city monkey gangs in South Africa.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11And it looks like she wants to join in the fun.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14These monkeys certainly know how to climb.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Wait a minute. Where are they going?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Can I come too?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Woah, woah, this is a little bit tricky.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Oh, oh, it's not that easy.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Oh, no.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Oi! Don't push in, cheeky monkey.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I'm a tight-rope walker!
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Wheee!
0:19:42 > 0:19:46The monkeys are off to one of their favourite places in the city.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47The golf course.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53They're chasing the ball.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Hey, that's my job. I'm the dog.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Aww, look. There's a new member of the gang.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Aww, sweet.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13And luckily the baby monkey knows how to hold on.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21That looks fun, whey-hey!
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Your turn.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31All this jumping's making me hungry.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Is it time for lunch yet?
0:20:33 > 0:20:34SHE BARKS
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Up the tree.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43So, where's lunch then?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Look what the monkeys have found.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53These cheeky monkeys know how to get a meal in the city.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55What a feast.
0:20:55 > 0:21:01Mmm, yummy. It's fun being in the monkey gang.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11The adventure is over. Skipper's back in her bed.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14With visions of monkeys going round in her head.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18They'll never believe the things I have seen.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Did it really happen or was it a dream?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27MONKEY SQUEALS
0:21:27 > 0:21:28That was fun.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31It's nearly time for me to go, but before I do,
0:21:31 > 0:21:35you always know what it's time for, don't you?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38It's time for a song!
0:21:38 > 0:21:41# Just go oo-oo like a monkey
0:21:41 > 0:21:44# Like a penguin running about
0:21:44 > 0:21:47# If you yawn like a lazy lion
0:21:47 > 0:21:50# That's what it's all about
0:21:50 > 0:21:53# Twit-twoo just like an owl
0:21:53 > 0:21:56# Look around like a meerkat
0:21:56 > 0:21:59# Hopity-hop like a kangaroo hops
0:21:59 > 0:22:01# That's just where it's at
0:22:01 > 0:22:04# Yeah, the zoo is where it's at
0:22:04 > 0:22:07# Strolling round and round the zoo
0:22:07 > 0:22:10# All creatures great and small
0:22:10 > 0:22:12# From the baby spider monkeys
0:22:12 > 0:22:15# To the giraffes oh, so tall
0:22:15 > 0:22:21# Ring tailed limas curiously climb all over you
0:22:21 > 0:22:24# Now it's not very elegant mucking out the elephants
0:22:24 > 0:22:26# And their enormous pooh
0:22:26 > 0:22:29# Just go oo-oo like a monkey
0:22:29 > 0:22:32# Like a penguin running about
0:22:32 > 0:22:35# If you yawn like a lazy lion
0:22:35 > 0:22:38# That's what it's all about

0:23:02 > 0:23:03# Slither like a snake
0:23:03 > 0:23:05# Quack like a drake
0:23:05 > 0:23:07# Howl like a wolf ah-oooh
0:23:07 > 0:23:10# Then swing your trunk like an elephant does
0:23:10 > 0:23:13# Wag your tail, you're at the zoo
0:23:13 > 0:23:15# Feed the fun-loving sea lions
0:23:15 > 0:23:18# Watch them do their tricks
0:23:18 > 0:23:21# So graceful in the water
0:23:21 > 0:23:24# So clumsy out of it
0:23:24 > 0:23:27# Look across to the pelican island
0:23:27 > 0:23:29# And the beautiful flamingos
0:23:29 > 0:23:32# Watch the male warthogs, count another pair of jogs
0:23:32 > 0:23:35# The monkeys oh, so small
0:23:35 > 0:23:38# Just go oo-oo like a monkey
0:23:38 > 0:23:40# Like a penguin running about
