0:01:09 > 0:01:12Come on, Skipper. Good girl.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Now, Skipper. I think we should do the Green Balloon Club chant.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20Would you like to join in? Let's do the chant with Matthew and Damon.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28We love animals, plants and birds
0:01:28 > 0:01:30We love snails and slugs
0:01:30 > 0:01:35Large and small, we love them all And we never, ever step on bugs
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Cos we are the Green Balloon Club!
0:01:39 > 0:01:40We've brought the laptop
0:01:40 > 0:01:43so we can catch up with what other club members are doing.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Would you like to see?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Here are all the messages.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Yes, Skipper's excited. That's Lily-Rose.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Let's see what she's doing.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Hi, Lily-Rose.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Hello. I'm Lily-Rose. Welcome to my garden.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Look at all of these beautiful flowers.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08But there are still lots of things to do. Come on!
0:02:08 > 0:02:11This is Harry, and this is his garden, really,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14but I come here to help him with his jobs.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Lily-Rose, can you come and help me put this up?- Sure.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26So, what are we doing today, Harry?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28We're cutting off all the deadheads.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Why?- Because then more flowers like these come up
0:02:31 > 0:02:35and then we get flowers for longer.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Wow, that's very clever.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Here are some scissors.- Thanks.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- You should cut off all of these star-shaped ones.- Why?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Because they've got seeds inside them.- OK.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Here's a pot to put all the star-shaped ones in.- Thanks.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57What sort of flowers are they?
0:02:57 > 0:03:02These are petunias, but you can do this with all sorts of flowers.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10This one's just about to open, so be careful not to chop it off.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- I think they're so beautiful. - So do I.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Snip, snip, snippety-snip.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Done lots.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- Is this a seed, Harry? - That's a seed case.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26- The seeds are inside.- Wow. They're like little balls, aren't they?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- Yeah.- Can I plant some? - You have to save them until spring.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Then you can plant them.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36I'll go and get something to put them in.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- You keep on cutting.- OK.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Ew, these are so sticky. Ugh!
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I've found some envelopes.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Let's put the petunia seeds in here.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53OK.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58All done.
0:03:58 > 0:04:04- Put them in a nice dry place until spring, then plant them.- OK.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I'm going to go find some more flowers.
0:04:11 > 0:04:17Wow. These are called marigolds and they're yellow, like a sunflower.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21And this one.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26This one has lots of seeds if I can get it... There.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I'm going to have loads of marigolds.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Wow! Look how much Jelly's garden's grown!
0:04:33 > 0:04:37I'm going to get some seeds so I can have some nasturtiums.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Here they are. They look like little pumpkins.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42In it goes.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46There. Now I'm going to have lots of nasturtiums, too!
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Wow, look at the beans we grow in the balloon. This one's dried up.
0:04:52 > 0:04:58It feels like paper, and the beans are seeds, as well. I can feel them.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02We have one...two...three!
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Let's look inside.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I'll snip this off.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10There.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Now... Wow!
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Here's one of the kidney beans.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Harry, look how much seeds I've found!- Wow.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Will you write the names on them, please?- I will.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- Thanks for coming to see my garden! - And my garden.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- See you again soon! - BOTH: Bye!
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- How do you spell nasturtium? - I know it begins with a "N".
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Bye, Lily-Rose! Bye, Harry!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I'd love to do that.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Perhaps we could find some seeds. Where should we look?
0:05:45 > 0:05:49No, Skipper. There aren't any seeds in the computer.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51What, Skipper? You think there are some?
0:05:51 > 0:05:56OK, then. Oh, it's a message from Isabella and her friends.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Let's see what they're doing.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03ALL: Hello, we're planting seeds.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13This is really fun.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17That's a caterpillar.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22And that's froggy. Ha-ha!
0:06:22 > 0:06:24A flower.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I'm putting flowers on my pot.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29That's a frog.
0:06:29 > 0:06:37I'm putting some pink caterpillars on my pot.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Let's put some soil in.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48I'm putting soil in my pot.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Let's make a hole like this. - I made a hole.- I'm doing a hole.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I've got one already.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I'm planting two seeds.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Broad beans.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Cover it up with the soil.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I've got one bean.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Mange tout.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Sunflower seeds.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Now it's time to water them.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47If you don't put the water in, it won't grow.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59We need to wait for the seeds to grow.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Then we can plant them in the flower bed.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Look at my one.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08See you soon. Bye!
0:08:21 > 0:08:24# Oh what fun it is to be
0:08:24 > 0:08:27# A friendly, stripy honey bee
0:08:27 > 0:08:30# Look down there, those lovely flowers
0:08:30 > 0:08:32# Mm, that smell, the beautiful colours

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Oh, whoa! Have you found a seed, Skipper?
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Oh, yes, it's a sycamore seed. And look, they fly like helicopters.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05Well done, Skipper. I'll take that home to plant for you.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Now let's see who else has been in touch.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Oh, yes, Skipper, it's the Eco-Warriors. They're a nature group
0:11:12 > 0:11:16who film wildlife at their school. Let's see what they're doing.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21- Hi, Eco-Warriors!- Hello!- Hi!- Hello.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Hi!- Hello.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- We're the Eco-Warriors.- We're here to look after our wildlife garden.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- To make our whole school green.- And we've been filming it for you, too.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39We've mainy different types of fruit in our nature reserve.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42There are raspberries but they're not fully ripe, yet.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- James has found one.- Mmm!
0:11:47 > 0:11:50They will be ripe in late summer.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Just like blackberries.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57This is our plum tree.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02Fruits and vegetables, and most plants, need light,
0:12:02 > 0:12:05and water, to survive.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I'm watering the plants.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12It's important to water them daily, especially in hot weather like this.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17It's important to rake, as otherwise the soil will dry out.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19If there's no soil, there's no plant.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32This plant is called lemon balm.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36It smells a lot like lemon.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43These plates are made from the old swimming pool we used to have.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46It's now been refurbished.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53This is our butterfly and bee garden.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Bees make honey for their food out of nectar from flowers.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00This is the plant the bees love most.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04As you see, there are lots and lots of bees around here.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09They love these plants, called lemon balm.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I showed you them earlier.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22We often get flying visitors, and most of them are butterflies.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29We have a board - these are just some of the butterflies you see.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38This butterfly is called a speckled wood. It's quite small.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42As you can see, it's got little spots on it.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45They're otherwise called speckles.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49The one we just saw was that one.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55It's called the speckled wood. It's quite small, which is why
0:13:55 > 0:13:58it's in the small section.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- Thank you for visiting us.- Maybe you could become an Eco Warrior too.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- All you have to do is help the nature around you.- ALL: BYE!
0:14:08 > 0:14:13Hi, I'm Ant and I'm looking for creatures that make you squirm!
0:14:24 > 0:14:29I'm going on a bug hunt. Do you want to come with me?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Hi, I'm Ant, and this is Bradley.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- Hi.- He lives here at the butterfly house, and I'm on a bug hunt.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45I thought you'd be the perfect person to help me. Can you show me?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- Yeah, sure.- OK, then. Let's go.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- Look at that fish. - Yes, that's really big.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- I think that's the biggest one in the pond.- Yeah.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15These are millipedes, and even though they make me squirm,
0:15:15 > 0:15:19I'm still gonna hold it. Bradley, I don't think yours wants to move.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- It's starting to wake up now!- Yes.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Do you think they're called millipedes
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- because they've got millions of legs?- Probably!
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I wonder if the tentacles help him find his way.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37They move in waves.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Their body is split into lots and lots of segments.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47I don't really like the millipedes - they make me squirm!
0:15:50 > 0:15:53It's time to make a Bug File!
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Enter data...
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Name - millipede.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02This type of millipede has up to 400 legs.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Lifespan - six years.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I give the millipede a squirm rating
0:16:07 > 0:16:12of 1/5, because they weren't really scary, they were just tickly.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Bug File complete!
0:16:15 > 0:16:19I have a fascinating fact for you about millipedes.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Did you know they're great climbers,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24and have hooks on the end of their legs?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Shall we go see what else we can find?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Can you spot the bugs?
0:16:32 > 0:16:36They're really difficult to see because they look just like leaves.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39That's it, there's one there!
0:16:39 > 0:16:42And there's another one...
0:16:42 > 0:16:45And can you see the little one?
0:16:46 > 0:16:51These are called leaf insects, and they really look like leaves!
0:16:53 > 0:16:56I can't believe how much it looks like a leaf!
0:16:56 > 0:17:00They're really good at disguising themselves, aren't they?
0:17:00 > 0:17:05If it stayed really still, I'd just think it was a leaf!
0:17:06 > 0:17:10It even looks like a leaf because it's got veins like a leaf.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15It's time to make a Bug File.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Enter data...
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Name - leaf insect.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24They have six legs. Lifespan - one year.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29I give the leaf insect a squirm rating of 2/5,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32cos they kept running up my arm!
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Bug File complete!
0:17:34 > 0:17:39I have a fascinating fact for you about leaf insects.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Did you know that they sway in the wind, so they look like a leaf?
0:17:43 > 0:17:47I know, shall we disappear into our surroundings?
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Can you spot us? Thanks for showing me around, Bradley.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- That's OK.- We're gonna keep hiding.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Bye!
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Curled in her basket, Skipper is dreaming.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09She's dreaming of baking savannah, today.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Then, in a twinkle, with a wag of her tail,
0:18:13 > 0:18:17she's off on adventures, in lands far, far away.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Ah, look, elephants!
0:18:38 > 0:18:40And lions!
0:18:40 > 0:18:44This place looks fun. And very beautiful.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Skipper's in Africa, where loads of big animals live on the plains.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Oh, look, there's a river. Let's follow it.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00What's down there amongst all that green?
0:19:00 > 0:19:05Is it a whale? Barking bones, it's a hippo!
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Wearing a funny hat!
0:19:12 > 0:19:15A leafy hat! Haha!
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Oh, look, it's going under the water.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27How graceful this hippo is.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30It looks like it's spacewalking on the moon.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36It must be nice swimming in that lovely cool water.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Up here, it's really hot! Phew!
0:19:42 > 0:19:46In fact, the sun is so hot, it's drying up all the water.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50And there's not much space left for the hippos.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52It's a bit crowded!
0:19:59 > 0:20:04Oh, no! Look! There's a fight breaking out!
0:20:04 > 0:20:06What a lot of splashing,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10and what big teeth!
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Think I'd better get out of the way.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17It's getting a bit dangerous, and I'm getting wet.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27I hope it rains soon, so there's more water for all the animals.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30DEEP RUMBLE
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Barking bones! Was that my tummy rumbling?!
0:20:34 > 0:20:38No, Skipper, that loud noise is thunder!
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- It looks like there's going to be a rainstorm.- Oh, hurray!
0:20:42 > 0:20:46It's raining, and the hippos are happy again!
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I like the rain too. Ruff-ruff!
0:20:53 > 0:20:56HIPPO LAUGHS

0:21:02 > 0:21:05with visions of hippos going round in her head.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09They'll never believe the things I have seen!
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Did it really happen, or was it a dream?
