Water, Water Everywhere Hoof and Safety with Nuzzle and Scratch

-PAN PIPE MUSIC

-Once upon a time,

not so very long ago, there were two alpacas

from the Andes called Nuzzle and Scratch.

They worked for the Two by Two animal agency.

Well, WORKED might not be exactly the right word.

And things didn't always go according to plan.

Stop, Nuzzle! Stop!

That's done the trick.

Still, their hearts were in the right place.

They muddled along in true alpaca fashion...

And what would you like?

-To be hairdressers.

-Or astronauts.

What happened to Nuzzle and Scratch? Where are they now?

Well, viewers, they're still out there.

-BOTH:

-Yay!

They're about to begin their toughest

and most important job ever!

Across the country,

thousands of hopeful Safety Rangers are queuing up to be chosen

for CBeebies' very own Safety-Hoof Camp. But with only two places,

we have to choose the best. Who will they be?

THEY CHUCKLE

Nuzzle and Scratch?!

Because safety is FUN! Heh-heh!

Together with their new boss, the super-safe Miss Mulberry,

Nuzzle and Scratch are busy at work.

In state-of-the-art Hoof Camp safety-training headquarters.

In a top secret location. Their mission?

To learn about safety. And help keep you safe, too.

And to earn a few rosettes along the way.

Welcome to Nuzzle and Scratch's Hoof and Safety.

# Here we are - Nuzzle and Scratch

# Best by far - Nuzzle and Scratch

# Oh, we're alpaca Safety Rangers

# Investigating Dangers

# No two others can match Nuzzle and Scratch

# Nuzzle and Scratch! #

Nuzzle, Scratch, time for safety school!

Here, Miss Raspberry!

Actually, it's Mulberry.

Miss Mulberry.

Yeah, Miss Raspberry, we got it.

Now, Safety Rangers, today's mission

is all about staying safe near water.

-BOTH:

-Oooh!

But I can't seem to find my safety cards,

and we can't start our safety training until we find them.

Um, Miss Blueberry,

they were SO dirty!

Yeah, covered in mucky hoof prints,

so we washed them in a Safety Pen bath.

But the Safety Pen doesn't have a bath.

-Yes, it does, and it's right here, see?

-Oh! That's not a bath!

That's a waste paper bin.

You put my cards in the bin.

OK, alpacas, today's topic is water.

-Whoa!

-Water's fun!

-I love water.

-Oh, steady!

THEY GIGGLE

Yes, we all love water, but it also be very dangerous.

So, whenever water is near,

we need to remember to play safe and stay safe.

Cue the safety hoovie!

Numbers, yeah.

'Hey, cool Safety Rangers.

'Water, wonderful water.

'We drink it, wash with it and play in it.

'But some types of water aren't safe to play in.'

Places like ponds.

And Lakes might look like a perfect spot for a paddle,

but they can be very deep so they aren't safe.

Other types of water, such as rivers, can be very fast moving,

making it easy for you to get carried away by the current.

If you play in these places, you could get stuck under the water.

And being underwater, even for a short time, can be very bad for you.

You should only play with water in a safe place

and when a grown-up is with you.

Remember, keep away from ponds,

rivers,

and lakes.

Let's see that again.

Some types of water aren't safe to play in.

Places like ponds.

Lakes might look like a perfect spot for a paddle,

but they can be very deep so they aren't safe.

Other types of water, such as rivers, can be very fast moving,

making it easy for you to get carried away by the current.

Remember, keep away from ponds,

rivers,

and lakes.

And if they are nearby, stay close to a grown-up and hold hoovies!

-BOTH:

-Holding hoovies!

Ha-ha!

OK, alpacas, what have we learned about water?

It's wet!

Yes, all water is wet. But some kinds can be very dangerous.

Can you remember what types of water?

Um...water with sharks in - dangerous!

Well, not quite.

I think it's time for a test.

ALARM RINGS

A test?!

Well, yes, we always have a test.

I am the best at tests!

I'll think you'll find I am the best at tests.

-You are muddled up, I am the best.

-No, I'm the best!

-No, no, no.

Tickle fight!

OK, alpacas!

I think it's time to play... Name That Hazard!

I'm going to show you some pictures

-and I want you to buzz in when you see a hazard.

-OK.

BUZZ!

-Yes, Scratch?

-Miss Gooseberry, Nuzzle's buzzer is bigger than mine.

Don't be silly, they're both the same size.

BUZZ!

Uh, please, Miss Gooseberry,

uh! Scratches buzzer is louder than mine.

What? No! Yours is bigger, see?

BUZZ!

-That's my buzzer!

-Oh!

BUZZ!

Boys! Both buzzers seem to be working very well.

So let's take a look at these pictures

and see if you can spot a hazard.

BUZZ!

Yes, Nuzzle?

Hazard!

Good, but what is it?

Oh, that duck. Ducks are very unsafe, you know why?

They're quackers! Ha-ha!

No, Nuzzle, the duck isn't the hazard. Look again.

What are the ducks floating on?

Oh, Oh! A pond.

That's correct, Scratch.

The pond is the hazard, it's not a safe place to play.

Let's take look at the pictures and see if you can spot another hazard.

BUZZ!

Yes, Scratch.

Look! It's a really big puddle.

No.

BUZZ!

No, see I know. It's a lake.

BUZZ! Yep.

One of those and they are unsafe to play in.

Well done, Safety Rangers.

A lake is not a safe place to play.

Now, can you spot the last place where you must stay safe?

BUZZ!

Yes, Nuzzle?

I know, it's a river.

BUZZ! No, I know. It's a river.

You're both right!

Well done.

Rivers are NOT safe places to play.

And remember, if you are near ponds, lakes or rivers,

then you must stay with a grown-up and...

-TOGETHER:

-Hold hoovies!

ALARM BLARES Oh, what's that?

Oh, you know what that noise means, boys!

It's time for some serious training.

Ugh!

Hoof Camp.

OK, Safety Rangers, let's pretend this bowl is a pond.

Oh, that water looks really yucky.

Phew, yeah.

Oh, and really smelly.

Well, that's because it's left over from your bath.

Now, alpacas, even if a pond doesn't look very big,

it's very difficult to tell how deep it is.

And look who I have with me to help us!

Oh! Hi, Norris! How are you?

Ha-ha!

Now, I'm going to place Norris on the edge of the pond.

Oh. Well, that's OK!

It isn't deep, it looks like he's paddling.

And if I move Norris further into the pond...

Huh!

Oh, where's Norris gone?

Norris? Norris!

He's disappeared under the water,

the pond is much deeper than it looked.

Imagine if that was one of you, it would be VERY hard to find you.

Where's Norris? Norris!

Oh! Hoo-hoo! That was close!

Oh, poor Norris is all wet.

Hmm. Well, let's see how we can stay safe near water.

Come along, boys, over here.

-OK, Miss.

-That's right.

Now, let's pretend

this baby bath is a lake.

Is a lake a safe place to play?

Well, Lady Raspberry, Norris loves to paddle,

but the lake is much bigger than the pond.

It might be even deeper, he could sink under the water again...

So, no! It is not a safe place to play.

Good!

Now show us where Norris should be.

Oh! He should be holding hooves with a grown-up away from the water.

And who better than Talula Fanula, his mummy?

-His mummy!

-Hello, Talula.

Excellent!

OK, boys, let's go over here next.

-OK.

-OK, Miss!

-Now...

-Look at this!

Here we have a toy river.

Are rivers safe places to play?

That's not too deep for Norris.

Ah! But what would happen if I removed this gate?

Oh, look! Norris is getting pulled along by the water!

Yes, Nuzzle.

Rivers can be very fast moving.

So rivers are NOT safe places to play either.

You don't want to get carried away. Do you, Norris?

That's right.

And remember, holding hooves with a grown-up is all it takes

to stay safe near rivers, ponds and lakes.

Oh! Holding hooves with a grown-up is all it takes...

TO stay safe near rivers, ponds and lakes! Ha-ha!

Very good work, Safety Rangers.

And now, you know how to watch out for water!

Oh, water's fun! Ha-ha!

Yes, it's time to pick an alpaca!

Which one will it be?

Nuzzle, the fluffiest alpaca in town?

Or will it be Scratch, the scruffiest alpaca in the world?

Let's find out!

-Pick me!

-Pick me!

-Pick ME!

-Me, me, me!

-ME!

-Pick ME!

-Pick me!

-Me!

Oh! I'm going in! Ha!

Safety Ranger Nuzzle,

you have been picked for today's Safety Mission.

You must spot all three water hazards and stay safe

to earn today's Safety Rosette!

Now, today, we are going out in the field on an undercover picnic.

Nuzzle?

Nuzzle!

Where's he gone?

Ha, ha-ha! Look, Miss Mulberry, he's already under cover!

Ha-ha! Under cover.

There you are, Nuzzle!

What are you wearing?

Oh! It's an inflatable ring.

It's just in case I find a watery hazard, Mrs Mulberry-bush!

That's good thinking, Nuzzle.

But you should really only use inflatables in a swimming pool.

You can't rely on them to keep you safe in rivers, ponds and lakes.

Anyway, I'm here to keep my eye on you,

so you can take it off for now.

Start spotting some hazards.

-Quick march!

-OK!

-PFFT!

-Ah! Argh!

Ha, ha-ha!

Oh, ho-ho! Ha, ha-ha!

Oh, don't worry, I'm fine.

I'm fine!

Ha-ha! Hmm. Hey, Nuzz, you found the first hazard!

Over.

Oh! Ha, ha-ha!

Hey, Scratch, I can see some water and it's perfect for a paddle.

Hang on, Nuzz, it might not be safe. Let me consult...

# Ba-ba ba-ba! #

..the Safety Cards.

How big is it?

Um... Well, not VERY big and it doesn't look very deep.

Yeah, I think it's a puddle or a pond.

Is that a safe place to play?

No. No, no! It might be deeper than it looks!

Remember Norris sinking earlier on?

Oh, yeah.

So, it ISN'T safe, I should stay away from the pond.

And find a grown-up to herd with.

Oh, OK.

Mrs All-brey, will you hold my hoof, please?

Good work, Nuzzle.

You've spotted the first hazard!

Now, go and find some more and I'll set up the picnic.

Ooh! Ha-ha!

A ball! Ha-ha!

This is going to fun! Miss Mulberry! Miss Mulberry, catch!

Sorry?

Oh, don't worry, I'll get it.

Doesn't look too deep anyway.

Oh, Scratch, the ball has landed in the river!

Oh. Are rivers safe places to play?

Maybe a rhyme will help us remember?

Let's sing it together, please, Nuzz.

-BOTH:

-Holding hooves with a grown-up is all it takes,

to stay safe near rivers, ponds and lakes.

THEY CHUCKLE

No, it's not safe here, Scratch.

Oh, look, they're having a picnic. Why am I not invited?

Miss Smallbody, can I hold your hoof?

I've just remembered I shouldn't go near rivers.

Well done, Nuzzle.

Rivers aren't safe.

They can be deep and have strong currents that can carry you away.

Now, Nuzzle, are you ready for your picnic?

Well, where's he gone?!

-Scratch?

-Yeah?

-I can see lots of water. Just perfect for a swim.

Aww, looks like the seaside.

It doesn't sound safe, Nuzz, are you sure it is not a pond?

No, it's too big to be a pond, which means it must be a lake.

Hazard!

Lakes aren't safe to play in. They're deep.

Yeah, step away from the lake, Nuzz. Step away!

I'm stepping away, Scratch. And holding hooves with a grown-up.

Good. Good, good.

Good work, Safety Rangers.

You found all three water hazards and stayed safe. I'm so proud!

As a reward, we can eat the pic...

-BURP!

-..nic.

Where's all the food gone?

Ha-ha! It was lovely! Ha-ha!

Congratulations, Safety Rangers,

I proudly present you with your waterproof safety rosettes.

-BOTH:

-Groovy hoovies!

Get ready. Now, go, go!

-Oh, forget it.

-No, no.

-Mind you, I love playing safely in water.

Yeah, me too. Can you take us to the swimming pool,

please, Mrs Strawberry?

-BOTH:

-Please?!

Ho-ho-ho! Not now, I'm on my way home.

I've had quite enough of water for one day.

OK. See you later.

THUNDER

Oh, looks like rain, Nuzz.

-Yeah, water's fun!

-Yeah!

THEY GIGGLE

Miss Soggyberry!

THEY CHUCKLE

-Soggyberry!
