0:01:10 > 0:01:14what our Green Balloon Club members get up to.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19First, we'll do the club chant with Abby, Catherine and Lucy.

0:01:37 > 0:01:42We ARE the Green Balloon Club. Would you like to see all our messages?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Look - it's Gina from the Isle of Arran.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Hi, Gina!
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Hello. My name is Gina. I love flowers like Lily-Rose.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Come and see my garden.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16Peony roses are so beautiful!
0:02:18 > 0:02:22It smells like...honey and jam.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27The petals feel really soft and wet.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32I love exploring in my garden. There's so much to see.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36This is called a marigold.
0:02:36 > 0:02:42Those flowers are so pretty. I like the yellow colour.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Look - there's a bee.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I'm lucky to have lots of flowers.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Here it is. These are my millipedes.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03It's so wriggly, with lots and lots of legs!
0:03:03 > 0:03:06It's really tickly.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Millipedes are funny!
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Look at these daisies.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I love daisies THIS much.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25This is my secret sitting tree.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I love my tree.
0:03:35 > 0:03:41It's really fun spinning around. I like looking up at the trees.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I hope you liked my garden. Bye!
0:03:46 > 0:03:51Hi. I'm Ant, and I'm looking for creatures that make you squirm!
0:04:03 > 0:04:07I'm on a bug hunt. Do you want to come with me?
0:04:11 > 0:04:15I'm on my bug hunt today in the butterfly house.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Can you see the butterflies flying here and there?
0:04:21 > 0:04:26They sometimes stop and rest awhile. They haven't got a care.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31Their matching wings are beautiful and they fly so delicately.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36Did you know there's a long story Of how they came to be?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Do you know what these are?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42They are eggs laid by a butterfly.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Do you know what's inside them?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46A caterpillar.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51This is what a caterpillar looks like when it comes out of the egg.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53And then,
0:04:53 > 0:04:58it just eats its whole life - it eats and eats and eats.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03So it starts off like that, then it eats some more and goes like that.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Then it eats even more and ends up like that.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11The fatter it gets, the hairier it gets.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14It's time to make a bug file.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Enter data.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Name - caterpillar.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21They have six legs.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26Lifespan - two to four weeks.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31I give caterpillars a squirm rating of one out of five,
0:05:31 > 0:05:33because they don't make me squirm!
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Bug file complete.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39I have a fascinating fact about caterpillars.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43They shed their skin a few times in their life
0:05:43 > 0:05:46cos they grow so quickly.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51Come and see what a caterpillar looks like once it's fully grown.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55When a caterpillar is fully grown, it turns into a pupa.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Look at all the pupas in the butterfly house.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Can you imagine how many butterflies there will be?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06In the wild, when a caterpillar becomes a pupa,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09it hangs itself on a tree branch.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13It looks like a sleeping bag. Very peaceful.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18The caterpillar is working hard to turn itself into a lovely butterfly.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Shall we see if we can spot some butterflies?
0:06:32 > 0:06:38When a butterfly is fully grown, it bursts out of the pupa and flies.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43Its wings are so light and strong. Then it's ready to lay eggs again.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46It's time to make a bug file.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Enter data.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Name - butterfly.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53They have six legs.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Lifespan - just a few days.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00I give the butterfly a squirm rating of one out of five,
0:07:00 > 0:07:05because they fly around too quickly for me to hold. Bug file complete.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10I've loved seeing the butterfly lifecycle and the butterflies here.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Bye!

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Time for the Green Balloon Club!
0:09:47 > 0:09:51There's a very exciting message here.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56It's this one. These are the Eco Warriors. They have video cameras.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01They film in their school garden. Let's see what they're up to today.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Hi, Eco Warriors!
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Hello.- Hi.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Hello.- Hi.- Hello.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- We're the Eco Warriors. - We look after a wildlife garden...
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- To make our school green. - We've been filming it for you.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23This is our pond.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Come and see inside.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29We have many animals.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34That's a pond snail. They're very common in ponds.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37There's a pond-skater, as you can see.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Where?- Skating away.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43It's very camera-shy. Look.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46BOTH: This is our wildlife area.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Have you caught anything, Jamie?- No.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55This is what we've caught so far.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57There's a dragonfly nymph,
0:10:57 > 0:11:03a water boatman and other creatures, such as a tadpole...
0:11:04 > 0:11:08..a pond-skater, also known as a boatman.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18This is our hibernation area.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Hibernation is when animals sleep for the winter.
0:11:21 > 0:11:27A hedgehog might sleep in here, but not until the winter.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Not all animals hibernate.
0:11:30 > 0:11:36There's hedgehogs and bears, but we don't have any bears in here!
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Hello. This is our badger sett.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41We only just discovered
0:11:41 > 0:11:45that we had a badger in our wildlife area.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49A badger sett is a series of tunnels
0:11:49 > 0:11:53which can lead all the way through the wildlife area.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58It's interesting to see them come out and make footprints in the sand.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01They're asleep. They're nocturnal.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05That means they sleep during the day and come out at night.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09They look very cute, but they can be dangerous.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Their claws can reach up to 10cm long.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16That's longer than my finger.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20We are going to get money
0:12:20 > 0:12:23to have a night-vision camera
0:12:23 > 0:12:27so that we may be able to film the badgers
0:12:27 > 0:12:29at night when they come out.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Let's take a look in the hole.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Let's see if we can find a badger.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36A badger!
0:12:36 > 0:12:39ALL: Bye!
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Look at the ducks!
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Our park pond likes to ripple and glimmer.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Geese enter the water like professional swimmers.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58GEESE HONK
0:12:58 > 0:13:01The edge of the pond is lined with trees.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07A busy water city, full of things to see.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Swans swim with their heads held high,
0:13:15 > 0:13:19gliding across the water gracefully.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Seagulls perform acrobatics in the sky,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26squawking really loudly.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Ducks paddle with their webbed feet.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37They wait for seeds and bread to eat.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42They groom their feathers with their beak.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45It's important they look smart and sleek.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51THEY ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:14:01 > 0:14:04I'm teaching Maddy to do some tricks.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Up, Maddy!
0:14:06 > 0:14:12Maddy, let's go and see if there's a message from Skipper. Come on!
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Yes!
0:14:14 > 0:14:19Look, Maddy, it's Cat and Skipper. Let's see what they're up to today.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Hello!
0:14:22 > 0:14:27It's time for our doggy dancing class. What are we doing today, Sue?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30I thought we'd do something a bit different.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Wow! What's that?- It's agility -
0:14:33 > 0:14:38- an assault course. Would you like to see Chester do it?- Yes, please!
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Wait.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Good.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Sit!
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Wait! Wait...
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Over!
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Over! Frame.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- Woof!- Good boy.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Tunnel.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Good boy!
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Steady.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- CHESTER KEEPS BARKING - Good boy!
0:15:00 > 0:15:03And...weaving.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Good boy!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09That was brilliant, Skipper!
0:15:09 > 0:15:12SKIPPER WHINES Skipper wants a go.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Well done, Chester. - Come on, Skipper.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Chester looked like he was enjoying that.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Why do dogs enjoy agility?
0:15:22 > 0:15:28It exercises the mind as well as the body. Dogs are very intelligent.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- Let's give Skipper a go. - We'll never do this!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Oh, you will.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Come on, Skipper.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40You step over, and see what she does in following you.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Yes! She does. And again.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Excellent! Again.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52Cos she's happy to go over it, I'm sure she's done this before.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57She's a rescue dog, so she might have done. You come this side.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Keep her on your left. Go close to the jump,
0:16:01 > 0:16:04and see if she'll go over by herself.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Good! And again with that one.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Good!
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Over again.- Over. Good girl!- Well done.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Let's try the A-frame. Ready? Just walking up...
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Oh, big climb! All the way down to the bottom.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24She HAS done it before. She's a natural.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29I'll hold her here and you go down to the other end of the tunnel.
0:16:29 > 0:16:35Look through the tunnel and call her. Make sure she can see you.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Come on, Skipper!
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Good girl!
0:16:40 > 0:16:45- She likes the tunnel! - Let's try the seesaw. Come on.
0:16:45 > 0:16:51This one can be dangerous. We'll have to make sure she goes slowly.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56You stay that side and I'll stay this side so she can't fall off.
0:16:56 > 0:17:02We've got to make her wait in the middle because it has to move.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- And then off she goes.- Good girl!
0:17:05 > 0:17:08On to the weaves. You need food for this one.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Put your hand in and out. Fantastic! Look at that.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Well done! Remember to praise her.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Good girl, Skipper!
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Sue, can we do the whole thing now?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- Let's give it a go. - Come on, Skipper.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Over. Good girl!
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Over. Over.
0:17:45 > 0:17:51Good girl! Thanks, Sue. We've really enjoyed it, haven't we, Skipper?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53SKIPPER WHINES
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Curled in her basket, Skipper is dreaming.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01She's dreaming of splashing in mud pools today.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Then, in a twinkle, with a wag of her tail,
0:18:06 > 0:18:10she's off on adventures in lands far, far away.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28RUMBLING
0:18:29 > 0:18:35Barking bones! What's that rumbling? And why is everything shaking?
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Oh, look! It's elephants!
0:18:45 > 0:18:47ELEPHANT BELLOWS
0:18:49 > 0:18:54Wow! Skipper's come face to face with a family of African elephants.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Hello.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01You're so impressive...and huge!
0:19:01 > 0:19:03ELEPHANT BELLOWS
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Look at what they're doing now.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11I wonder why they're flapping their ears.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14They use them like fans, to keep cool.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Good idea!
0:19:17 > 0:19:19It really works.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Look - there's a little baby one.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Whoops-a-daisy! Yee-hah!
0:19:34 > 0:19:39- Now they're all off. I wonder where they're going.- Elephant families
0:19:39 > 0:19:44are always on the move, with the big grandmother in charge of the group.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Where is she taking them?
0:19:49 > 0:19:54Look! They've all gone for a mud bath.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57SPLOSHING
0:19:58 > 0:20:01They are getting VERY muddy.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Stop it!
0:20:11 > 0:20:14My machine's getting muddy.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21That's better.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Now they're going to the river.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36Oh, no! How will the baby get across? It's only tiny.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Come on, little elephant.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Ah, yes!
0:20:44 > 0:20:49The grass on the other side looks really tasty.
