Episode 4 Green Balloon Scrapbook

Hello, I'm Jay from the Green Balloon Club,

but today isn't club day so I'm not in the Green Balloon.

I'm out bird-watching. Why don't you come and join me?

# Gather round one and all

# You've got to answer the call

# Listen up look around you

# There's a magical world to explore

# There's a nature adventure

# Coming your way soon

# So come and join us

# In this Green Balloon

# And when we fly

# We're higher than the moon

# So join us

# Ah ah

# In our Green Balloon. #

Hi. Today you can find out what else Green Balloon Club members do.

I'm bird-watching,

but before we do that, we should do the Green Balloon Club chant.

Let's join members, Josh and Ollie.

-ALL:

-We love animals plants and birds

We love snails and slugs

Large and small we love them all

And we never ever step on bugs

Cos we are the Green Balloon Club!

Now time for a bit of bird-watching.

Actually, before that,

I should check the laptop to see if we've got any messages

from the Green Balloon Club.

Yes! We've got lots.

Let's watch one now.

How about Lucinda and Grace. They'll have something good to show us.

Hello, Lucinda and Grace.

BOTH: Hello.

My name is Lucinda and this is my pony, Crunchie.

Hello, I'm called Grace and this is my pony, Pinkie.

My Pinkie, best pony in the world.

We're at the Royal Norfolk Show today and we're doing a competition.

Now we need to get the ponies ready. Come on.

I'm just oiling Crunchie's feet.

I'm going to give him a good brushing.

I've got to comb all the knots out of his tail.

I'm going to put Crunchie's saddle on him now.

We can't forget his bridle.

We've got to lunge him first. Mum's doing it.

Crunchie's ready for the show. He looks really pretty.

Now I've got to get ready too.

I've got to wear these special clothes.

These are jodhpurs. This is my riding jacket,

and my hat.

Come on, Lucinda. It's time to go for the competition.

That's it.

Wish me luck.

I've got to wear the same clothes as Mummy so I look really smart.

I've got to remember to bow in front of the judge.

It's my turn now.

I've got to sit up really straight.

-Look, we won these rosettes.

-Well done, ponies.

Thanks for visiting us.

BOTH: Bye.

SHE GIGGLES

Bye, Lucinda and Grace.

Aren't they lucky to have their very own ponies?

I don't have any pets.

I don't mind because I like watching the birds.

There's lots around especially if you put food out for them.

This one always comes when I put food out.

It's grey and it's got bits of pink on it. Do you know what it is?

I think it's a wood pigeon because it's bigger than a usual pigeon

and it's got a white collar around its neck.

Lily-Rose always has lots of birds in her garden.

Let's see what she's doing.

Hi, Lily-Rose.

Hi. I'm Lily-Rose. Come and see my garden and see what's growing.

Come on.

These are physalis.

This is how it starts off. I love the white petals.

It's like a snowdrop, but it's not a snowdrop.

It turns into this little pod and then it turns into this one.

Then it turns into these green ones, then to this one.

This one's just turning itself orange.

They're so bright.

I love them because they look like Chinese lanterns.

The garden's starting to look autumny. Look at the crab apples.

The crab apples aren't big apples. They're SO small. They're this big.

And they're very, very sour.

You can't eat them plain. You make jam with them.

The birds and squirrels love them a lot.

Look at the vegetables that we've been growing in the balloon.

These are the carrots. Look at this one.

It's kind of tangled.

I really want to eat this one,

but I'll give it a wash first.

These are the beetroots.

I think it's going to be like a golf-ball shape.

Oh, it's not a golf-ball shape. It's the shape of a carrot or a bean.

Look at the red lettuce. It's dying off because we've eaten it all.

I'm going to pick this leaf.

Wow!

Last, but not least is the butternut squash.

These are so spiky.

The butternut squash aren't growing,

but here is where they will grow one day.

I remember when they were first seeds

and they grew and grew until they were like this.

This is Harry. This is his garden, really, but I come here to help him.

Hello.

Do you want to eat one, Lily-Rose?

Aren't they supposed to be red so you can eat them?

They're special orange tomatoes so you can eat one if you want.

Let's eat one.

Wow, these are so sweet. They're like healthy sweets.

Are these the best things in your garden, Harry?

No. My sunflower is the best.

Wow, it's massive. It's taller than you and taller than me.

Can you see all the different buds on it?

Let's count how many buds there are.

BOTH: One, two, three, four,

five, six.

And normally, a sunflower only has one bud.

Wow, this must be a very special sunflower then.

I wish I had one.

-I've planted one for you, Lily-Rose.

-Thanks.

I hope my sunflower will grow as tall as yours one day.

So do I.

-Thank for coming to see my garden.

-And my garden.

See you again soon. Bye.

-Wow, what's that?

-I don't know.

Hi, guys! I've been joined by Green Balloon Club members Josh and Ollie.

This is their school.

-This is a great wildlife garden you've got here, guys.

-I know.

-We work in a nature club.

-What do you call yourselves?

-Eco Warriors.

-That's great!

-What's with the camera?

-We've been filming for you.

-Can I see?

-It should be on your computer.

Yeah, here you are. Let's watch it.

-Hello.

-Hi.

-Hello.

-Hi.

-Hello.

We're the Eco Warriors.

-We look after our wildlife garden...

-To make our whole school green.

We've been filming it for you, too.

'Let's go to Nursery, the most eco-friendly class in the school.'

INAUDIBLE

These are the tomato seeds.

There's lots of tomatoes.

-Look how red they are.

-Yeah, look. They're red.

-Are those orange?

-Yes.

Look at this orange flower.

We also have chives.

We also have chives.

-You can eat the orange flowers.

-You can eat these.

They are nasturtium flowers.

You can eat the orange flowers. You can eat them.

-You can eat it, too.

-Yeah.

-You can eat it in salads.

-They're very nice.

-They look pretty.

You can't eat the grass.

That's not grass - that's chives. They're nice.

And they're also growing apple mint.

This is lavender. It smells delicious.

-Yes.

-It does. Do you like that?

Yes. I do like perfume.

Wow! Look at that bug!

Can't see it.

-Can you see it now?

-Yeah.

It's got wings. It flies.

And it's got four legs.

We grow onions. There are the roots.

Don't do this at home - this is already pulled out.

If you do, you might kill the onion.

-This is their recycling area.

-And also their wildlife area.

They have many different species.

I'm doing some gardening. Do you like gardening? ..Good.

In our nursery, we use tyres as plant pots. Clever!

Now I'll put you over to Joshua.

Lovely, aren't they?

Strawberries are one of the most lovely British fruits.

They're easy to grow.

Your local supermarket should sell packets of strawberry seeds,

and you can go into your back garden and plant like heaven!

If you're planning to plant your own strawberry plants,

be sure to water them regularly.

This is where they put recycled orange peel and broad beans.

In your garden, what wildlife can you see?

There are probably many different types.

See how many different types you can find.

ALL: Bye!

JAY: Wow!

-You filmed all of that by yourselves?

-Yeah.

Can you make some more reports on the wildlife round here?

-We'll make one now.

-I saw a fox earlier. Let's go and film it.

Brilliant! Thanks for coming to see us today. Bye.

Let's see if we've got any more messages.

Oh, yes. It's Cat and Skipper.

They're going dog training. Let's see.

Hello!

Hello. Me and Skipper are going doggy-dancing. Come on.

JOLLY MUSIC PLAYS

Good girl!

-Hello, Cat. Hello, Skipper.

-Hi.

-Looks like you've been practising.

-Skipper's doing well.

What move would you like to learn?

The one where you put your leg out and they put their paw on it.

I know that one. Chester, sit!

Paws.

Good boy! Other one.

-Good boy!

-Ah!

-Yes, good boy!

This is a good one for Skipper because she can already shake hands.

You need to pretend you're going to shake hands

and put your hand in front of your knee.

When she puts her foot towards your hand, move it out of the way.

OK, your turn. Put your knee forward and put your hand on it.

Turn your hand away... There you go!

Put your hand the normal way round. Move it before her foot gets there.

-Yes.

-Have another go.

Good! Good! Well done!

-Reward her while her paw is still on your leg.

-Oh, right.

-Just do one.

Then give her a treat straight away.

That's better. Have another go and do four.

Good!

-Praise.

-Good girl!

-You must tell her that she's doing it right.

-Good girl!

-Well done.

-Sue, I could use a break.

-Shall we take the dogs for a walk?

-That's a great idea.

-Come on, Chester.

Catch. ..Yay!

Good boy!

Yeah!

Good boy! Go, go, go!

-Can we learn a new one now?

-We can.

We'll do spins when you're walking.

Come round this side and walk it with me.

Foot forward, dog's head out, foot forward and he's with us.

When you dance, you want your dog to be with you, not just doing tricks.

-Shall we get you and Skipper to try?

-OK.

-OK.

-Skipper!

-OK. Are you ready? Nice and straight by your side.

-Oh, sorry.

-That's all right. No, that's fine.

Two steps, and then on the third one. One, two...now.

-That's better. Keep walking.

-Good dog.

-Lovely. Praise it, remember.

-There's footwork and praise.

-Twist!

-Praise now.

-Good girl!

-Good.

-Good girl!

-This time,

you're going to have to go round too.

It's the foot closest to the dog out, you're going to turn, and pick up.

-How cool was that?

-I like it when you do something together.

OK, it's your go now.

Right foot... Oh, you turned the other way.

Don't worry. Now you're wrong-footed.

THEY LAUGH

Forward...now. The other way. ..That's it.

Turn...turn...turn... Yes! Brilliant.

They're good, aren't they, Chester?

Skipper's done really well today.

Skipper thinks you've done well, as well, Cat!

Curled in her basket, Skipper is dreaming.

She's dreaming of rainforest noises today.

Then, in a twinkle, with a wag of her tail,

She's off on adventures in lands far, far away.

I feel like a bird! I'm flying!

Wa-haaaaay!

Coming in to land.

Whoa!

Whoa! Aaaah...whoa!

Aargh!

Oh, phew! Back in control again. But where did that tree come from?!

Wow! What amazing, tall trees! I wonder who lives here.

CHIRRUPING

Oh! What's that funny noise?

SMALL MOTOR REVS

It sounds like a chain saw.

I hope they're not cutting down this forest.

I must go and see what's going on.

CLICKING Now I can hear a camera clicking.

Barking bones! This is all very strange and confusing.

CLICKING Hang on a minute.

I can see who's making that noise.

CLICKING

IT WHIRRS LIKE A CAMERA SHUTTER

It's a strange brown bird. CLICKING AND WHISTLING

Now it's pretending to be a camera. Cool! What a funny bird!

BIRD MAKES REVVING SOUND

It's pretending to be a chain saw. REVVING

Skipper's discovered the lyre bird. It can copy

-almost any sound it hears.

-IT WAILS LIKE AN ALARM SIREN

Oh, no! My machine! It's going wrong!

What's that noise? ALARM-LIKE WAILING

The alarm's going off. Maybe it's broken!

Oh! Silly me! It's that bird again.

BIRD MAKES WHISTLING CALL

I wonder...

Can it make a dog-barking noise?

Ruff! Ruff!

BIRD CHATTERS No. I think I'm best at that.

The adventure is over. Skipper's back in her bed,

With sounds of the jungle going round in her head.

'They'll never believe the things I have seen.

'Did it really happen...

'Or was it a dream?'

Trust Skipper to see the most amazing bird of all!

Mind you, I like the bird I can see right now.

It's a little brown bird and it's got a red tummy.

Can you guess what it is?

That's right. It's a robin. I wonder if Skipper's seen one of those.

It's nearly time for me to go.

There's time for just one thing. Do you know what it is?

ALL: Ssh!
