Ah, there you are! I've been waiting for you.

Are you ready to come on an adventure?

You are? Fantastic. Horace, who are we going to see today?

TOOT!

-Hello, Katie, it's Morgan!

-Hello, Morgan.

Me and my friends can't wait to see you.

We're going to see my friend Morgan. I'm so excited.

-Are you ready to go, Horace?

-TOOT!

-Are YOU ready to go?

Brilliant! Jump in, then.

# Load up Horace our trusty van

# With tasty things and pots and pans

# Off on a journey and I'm coming to you

# It's going to be busy and there's lots to do

# Get ready to help, join in and have fun

# Cooking healthy snacks for everyone. #

TOOT-TOOT!

ALL: Hi, Katie!

-Hi!

-How are you doing, everyone?

Brilliant to see you all! Come and sit down. I've put a blanket down.

-Are these your friends, Morgan?

-Yes.

-What's your name?

-Shanay.

-What's your name?

-Finn.

-And what's your name?

-Nathan.

Great to meet you. Are you looking forward to cooking?

ALL: Yes!

-Morgan, what are we going to do this afternoon?

-Falconry.

We're going to meet the birds of prey. That's exciting. We'll need lots of energy.

-Yes!

-Shall I look in Horace for some ingredients

-to make a snack to take with us?

-Yes!

I'll have a look.

Look at these ingredients I found!

Some cooked mince, some cheese,

flour tortillas and sweetcorn.

-Do you like sweetcorn?

-ALL: Yes!

-Let's look in my cookbook for a recipe.

-Yes!

-That way!

What's in my cookbook? Let's have a look.

What tasty treat are we going to cook?

Ohhh! Oh, wow, look at those! We're going to make spicy tortilla nests.

The perfect snack for when we do some falconry later on.

But before we get started on our cooking, what have we got to do first?

-Wash our hands!

-That's right. Come on, you can come too.

# 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! #

-Let's get cooking! Are you ready?

-ALL: Yes!

Fantastic! Does anyone know what animal lives in a nest?

-ALL: A bird!

-A bird.

Now, to make OUR nests, we need to take a tortilla.

We're going to fold it in half like this.

Run your finger down the line.

And then open it up again.

-Can you see where the line is that you made?

-ALL: Yes.

We're going to use our scissors to snip down that line.

Everyone, remember, when using scissors,

-we need to point them down towards our...

-Toes!

-That's it, towards your toes.

So take your scissors and snip down the line that you've made,

like this.

Snip, snip, snippety-snip.

There we go. And look,

now they look like funny ears!

Big elephant ears!

Can you make a noise like an elephant?

ALL BLOW RASPBERRIES

Now we're going to do some more folding.

Fold each of those tortilla halves into half again

in quarters.

And then you unfold them and snip down those lines.

Can you do some snipping too? Take the scissors like this and go...

Snip, snip, snip!

Brilliant snipping!

So let's start building our nests now.

We'll take our tortilla pieces

and put them on top of the holes in our oiled muffin tray.

Like this. There we go.

That's it.

Then you're going to use your fingers to gently

push the tortillas into the oiled holes in the muffin tray.

Try not to make holes in the tortilla if you can.

There we go. What do you think they look like, everyone?

-Nests.

-Nests.

-They look like little nests.

Now we add the filling to our nests.

Now, on our mat we've got some mince,

which is the first ingredient in our mixture.

To the mince we're going to add some of these. Anyone know what kind of beans these are?

That's right, kidney beans! And did you know that beans are really, really good for us?

They're full of something called fibre, which keeps our tummies healthy.

Let's add our kidney beans to our bowl.

There we go.

The next ingredient we're going to add is sweetcorn.

Who likes sweetcorn?

-ALL: Me!

-I love sweetcorn.

Let's add that to our bowl too.

Little pieces of gold.

Then we're going to add something with a really funny name.

Can anyone say "ratatouille"?

-Ratatouille!

-Ratatouille!

-FRENCH ACCENT:

-Ratatouille is a French dish

and it's full of lovely vegetables in tomato sauce.

-We all know vegetables are good for us, don't we?

-Yes!

So let's add that to our bowl too.

There we go. Fantastic.

And the final ingredient we're going to add to our mixture is paprika.

-Who can say "paprika"?

-Paprika!

We're going to add the spice to our spicy tortilla nests.

So, everyone, let's sprinkle our paprika into our bowl.

Sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle.

Now we've got all our ingredients in the bowl, let's give it a good mix.

Wheeeeee!

Can you do some mixing too? Take your bowl like this, get your spoon.

Brilliant. And go mix, mix, mix.

-Mix, mix.

-That's it.

Keep going until all your ingredients are mixed up nicely.

Right, everyone finished mixing?

OK, now we're going to scoop up the mixture,

and we're going to put it into our nests.

Really big scoop. Make a big mountain,

and then we're going to pop it into the nests.

Use up all the mixture because we don't want to any left over.

-Don't waste it.

-We don't want to waste anything.

That's right.

There we go. Lovely.

And finally we need to take a pinch of cheese and sprinkle it on top.

-SQUAWKING:

-Just a pinch! Just a pinch!

It's my friend Pinchy Parrot!

-Say hello!

-ALL: Hello, Pinchy Parrot!

-SQUAWK!

-I'll show you how to make a Pinchy Parrot.

Put your thumb down like this, two fingers on top

and you've got it. So take a pinch of cheese.

Like this? Like this! SQUAWK!

SQUAWK!

Thank you, Pinchy Parrot. That's it, everyone, keep pinching.

If cheese made from cows' milk makes your tummy a bit poorly,

you can always use soya cheese instead.

-Everyone finished?

-ALL: Yes!

That's it! You've made your spicy tortilla nests all by yourself!

Now it's time to put them in the oven.

Remember, ovens are hot, so don't go near.

You need to ask a grown-up to help you here.

These shouldn't take long to cook at all.

SQUAWK!

-Tidy and clean! Tidy and clean!

-That's right, we need to make everywhere tidy and clean.

Let's scrub those pots till 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, lovely and clean. Now, our food is in the oven cooking,

so who's ready to go and do some falconry?

-ALL: Me!

-Let's see who can get there fastest.

SQUAWK

This is Popeye, and he's a European eagle owl.

-He's got massive wings!

-Yeah, and look at his big talons on his claws.

These are what Popeye uses for catching his dinner. They're very sharp.

That's why Alex is wearing his glove.

-Can they see at night?

-Very well. That's when they go looking for their dinner.

Although Popeye uses his hearing, his ears, more than he uses his eyes.

Our next bird up is Mali. Here he is.

This is Mali and he's a Harris hawk. These hunt during the day

They've got good eyesight and he can see his dinner a long way away.

-Miles away.

-Mm.

-He doesn't cook his dinner, he has to catch his dinner.

-That's cool!

Who'd like a dinner competition with Mali?

-ALL: Me!

-We need to split you into two groups.

-Girls and boys.

-ALL: Yes!

-OK, we're ready.

We use a lure, a long piece of string with what looks like Mali's dinner on it.

You have to run really fast with it and we'll see who he gets to first.

-Brilliant! Are you ready?

-ALL: Yes!

He's got it!

My turn now.

He got it!

-Do you think that was a draw?

-ALL: Yes!

-I think so.

That running's made me feel quite hungry.

-Are you hungry?

-ALL: Yes!

-TOOT-TOOT!

-Listen.

That's Horace saying the food's ready.

You set out the picnic things and I'll get the food.

Come on, everyone, let's go.

-Hiya, mums!

-ALL: Hi.

I've got our food. It smells so good, everyone.

Morgan, that's yours.

And pink, green,

that's you, Mason, and yellow,

that's you. There you go.

-Oh, wow, look at those!

-MUM:

-They look amazing.

-Can I try one?

-Yes.

-What are they called?

Spicy tortilla...nests.

I can see they look like a nest. They look amazing.

-Have this one.

-Thank you.

Smells good.

They're good, aren't they?

-Mmm! What have you put in it?

-Mince, sweetcorn...

-What are these?

-Beans.

-And what's this?

-Cheese.

-Oh, wow. These are lovely.

-What was your favourite bit, Mason?

-Doing the wraps.

Do you remember the ingredient we put in?

It's a French dish made up of vegetables and tomato sauce. It had a funny name.

-Ratatouille.

-Ratatouille, that's it.

Mmmm! These are giving me loads more energy!

-Who wants to go and see some more birds?

-ALL: Me!

Come on, let's go!

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

# Now we're stronger than we were before

# Something healthy in our tummy 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! #

Frodo! Come on, Frodo!

This is Frodo, and he's a white-faced Scops owl.

He's a year and a half old now.

We have had a fantastic day here today,

and meeting these amazing birds of prey has been fascinating.
