Come and sit over here by Horace. That's it!

-And Kamali, are these your friends?

-Yeah!

-And what's your name?

-Rayhan.

-And what is your name?

-Isabel.

-And what is your name?

-Maisie.

I'm looking forward to cooking together!

What are we going to do later?

We're going to have a sports day. Do you want to join us?

Do I want to join in? I'd LOVE to join in!

I love sports day!

We're going to need lots and lots of energy to do that, aren't we?

ALL: Yes!

Maybe I've got some ingredients in Horace

we could use to make something. Shall I have a look?

ALL: Yes!

Now, look what I found, everyone.

Now what have we got here on my tray?

Watermelon.

-And what about this one?

-Lemon!

-And what about this?

-Mint!

It's got a lovely smell!

Shall we have a look in my cookbook and find a recipe?

-Yeah!

-All right, come on. Follow me.

-Quick, quick!

-I won!

What's in my cookbook?

Let's have a look.

What tasty treat are we going to cook?

Ooh, wow! Look at that!

A watermelon cooler!

That is going to be so tasty!

But before we make it, what have we got to do first?

ALL: Wash our hands!

We've got to wash our hands! Let's go!

# Roll up your sleeves Give your hands a wash

# With slippy-dippy soap Splish, splash, splosh

# Have you done your hands? Washed and dried?

# Sleeves rolled up, apron tied?

# What can you do? I can cook. #

Now that we've washed our hands, let's get started on the recipe.

Now this is a really refreshing drink.

It's really healthy, too, actually. In fact, it's so good

it makes me do a watermelon smile.

-Say "Cheese!"

-Cheese!

Oh, beautiful big smiles.

This is the first ingredient we're going to use

for our watermelon cooler. I'll show you what to do.

We have to use our dessert spoon to scoop out all of the flesh,

which is the inside part of the watermelon.

-What colour is the flesh?

-Red.

Yeah, it's a pinky red colour. It's really lovely.

So take your dessert spoon, everyone, and let's get scooping.

There we go. Dig and scoop.

And once you've scooped it out, pop it into your bowl.

-What if it has some seeds in it?

-Oh, don't worry about those pips.

We're going to get rid of them later on.

-We are a bit like little diggers. I feel like a digger.

-Me, too!

Can you do some digging and scooping with us? That's it.

Get your spoon and dig and scoop.

Dig and scoop. Dig and scoop.

A-dig and a-scoop. A-dig and a-scoop.

You're a brilliant digger. Keep digging and scooping with us.

-That's it, keep digging everyone. How are you doing, Maisie?

-Good.

-Rayhan, what does yours smell like?

-Cucumber.

-Yeah.

That's because watermelons are from the same family as cucumbers.

There we go. Put the rest of the juice in there.

The next thing we want to do

is squeeze out all the juice from the watermelon.

This is the best bit cos we get to get really messy.

Move your empty watermelon over to the side.

Bring your bowl over.

Show me your hands. Give them a wiggle.

-Say, "Hello!"

-Hello!

-Say, "Hello, hello, hello!"

-Hello, hello, hello!

Everyone, put your hands into the bowl and get mashing, like this.

-Squeeze!

-Squeeze!

That's it.

-My hands are getting all juicy-wuicy.

-This is fun.

Squeeze all of the juice out of the bits of watermelon. That's it.

I have got a great little dance I do when mashing up melon.

-It's called the melon mash. Would you like to do how to do it?

-Yeah.

You go, do the melon mash.

You do the melon mash, you do the melon mash, you do the melon mash.

Do the melon mash, do the melon mash, do the melon mash,

-do the melon mash, do the melon mash, do the melon mash.

-Yeah!

Hey, you're really good at that. The next thing we want to do

is add some zing to our watermelon cooler.

And the best thing to add some zing is a lemon.

Now to squeeze our lemon into our watermelon,

we've got to be quite strong.

Show me your muscles, everyone? Wowsers!

You've got massive muscles. You're strong, too. Let's see your muscles.

Hey, you're very strong, too. All right, everyone,

take your lemon and squeeze it into the bowl of watermelon.

All right, off you go everyone. Ready? Squeeze!

Whoo-hoo! Look at all the juice coming out!

Squeeze out all the lovely juice.

Oh, look, our squeezed lemon looks a little bit like a monster.

"Hello, I'm a monster. Ha, ha!"

Who can make a monster with their lemon?

Ooh, yeuch! Good lemon monsters, everyone.

Once you've squeezed out all of the lemon juice,

pop it back on in the bowl. There we go.

The next thing we want to do

is get all the juice out of our watermelon.

OK? So bring the empty bowl onto your mat with the sieve on top.

Then get your ball of watermelon and pour it through the sieve.

-Are you ready?

-Yes, we are!

-Oh, that was good.

All right, one, two, three, go!

Whoo! What's happening to all the juice?

-It's going into the sieve.

-It is!

And what's the bit that's left over?

It's all the seed and stuff.

The bit left over is called the pulp.

We've got the pips in there too.

Now, use your wooden spoon to squish down the pulp

and get all the rest of the juice out.

Squish.

-Squash.

-Squish!

-Squish!

-Squish.

-Squish!

-Squish!

Squish, squish, squish.

The next ingredient we're going to add, and the last ingredient,

is something called mint.

It's a herb and it's got such a great smell. I absolutely love it.

Why don't you have a smell of your mint? What does it smell like?

It smells like ice cream!

Mint ice cream! I love mint ice cream.

All right, let's count out our mint leaves.

We've got three, so we can count all together, and you can join in.

One,

two,

three.

OK?

Three mint leaves.

And next we're going to play a fun little game with our mint leaves.

So take your mint leaves. Put them into your hand.

Put your hand in front of you like this.

Put your arm up here! And like a crocodile snapping,

go - snap!

And then give it a wiggle. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.

And now smell the mint.

Oh! Now it smells so strong!

Once you've done that, just move your sieve over to your empty bowl

and pop the mint leaves into your juice.

And the final thing we're going to do is get all your bowls

of watermelon juice and put them into this jug,

so everyone come over to me and I'll pour them in.

I'll pour mine in first.

Whoosh!

It's got such a good colour, hasn't it! Whoosh!

There we go. And that's it.

You've done it!

You have made your watermelon coolers all by yourselves,

and all we've got to do now is

pop this into the fridge so it can chill.

All right, everyone. Let's go!

Now, you might need to get an adult to help you put your

watermelon cooler in the fridge.

There we go. Right.

Now, that shouldn't take very long to chill at all.

HORN BEEPS

Thanks for reminding me, Horace! That's right.

We need to make everywhere tidy and clean!

Let's scrub those pots until they sparkle and gleam.

# Now we've cooked Let's wash up

# Stack the plates and the bowls on top

# Dishes and spoons Splish, splash, splosh

# Having fun while we tidy and wash

# Dishes and spoons Splish, splash, splosh

# Having fun while we tidy and wash

There we go! All lovely and clean. Let's pop those over there.

Our watermelon cooler is in the fridge and it's cooling,

so who's ready for sports day?

Yes!

Come on, then!

Ready, steady, go!

Go on, you can do it, quick, quick, quick.

That's it. Over your head.

That's it, put it on your head. Balance, balance!

Come on, Maisie! Oh, careful!

And under the net.

Maisie, Maisie, Maisie!

Go on, Maisie. Try and get ahead. Well done, Kamali. Brilliant.

Go on, Maisie. Getting a bit tangled like a spider in a spider's web.

That's very kind. All right, next ones. Go, go, go!

Isabella, Isabella, Isabella!

Keep balancing, Isabel.

Try and beat him. Come on, Isabel, come on!

That's it, underneath. Good crawling, brilliant crawling.

Careful with your head, Isabel. Well done!

Right, you lot. I bet you're quite thirsty now, aren't you?

-Maybe our coolers are ready.

-BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!

Hang on a minute, I can hear Horace telling us that it's ready.

I know, why don't you go set out the picnic things

and I'll go and get the watermelon cooler from Horace?

Ah, hi, mums and dads. Brilliant.

Kamali, have you told everyone what we made today?

-We made a watermelon cooler by ourselves.

-You did!

-You made it by yourself and here it is, everyone.

-Who wants some?

Me!

I'm so thirsty, here you go, Isabel.

Lovely.

-That's nice.

-I think that's delicious.

What was your favourite bit about making this today?

Scooping it out and when I was squashing.

The scooping it out bit was good and the squashing bit.

Scooping and squashing.

Mmm, that is delicious!

What was your favourite part?

Counting the mint.

-Would you like to make it at home?

-Yes.

-Great.

That is delicious!

This has given me loads more energy to keep on playing.

-In fact, who wants to go and do a sack race?

-Me!

Well, come on, then, I'll race you there. Go!

# We've had a break and a bite to eat

# And we're stronger than we were before

# Something healthy in our tummies

# To help us play some more

# Healthy food, hip, hip, hooray

# Energy, hip, hip, hooray

# To keep us going hip, hip, hooray

# And help us play, help us play

# Hip, hip, hip, hooray! #

Come on, everyone! Let's have an egg-and-spoon race.

Everyone got their egg?

Then ready, eggy, go!

Oh, oh, oh.

Ow!

Oh, no! I've got a crack in my egg. I'm catching you up, Maisie!

-Go on, Rayhan, catch them up.

-Eggy!

Woo! Eggy, eggy, eggy!

All right, everyone, let's go back to the start

and do it all over again. Quick, quick, quick. Go on, Isabel!

We've had such a fantastic day today, it's been brilliant.

That watermelon cooler was perfect

for giving us lots more energy for our sports day.
