You and Me Iconicles

# Let me take you to a world that I've seen

# My best invention the Iconi-Screen

# They're friends and animals

# The Iconicles

# So come along with me and I'll tell you more

# Iconicles

# There's Rumple and Miss Moo, Splish and Splash and Skitter too

# I'll show you their worlds The Iconicles

# I just can't wait for you to meet them all... #

Ho-ho! Ha-ha! He-he!

# Iconicles. #

Oh!

Ooh!

Oh!

Whoo!

Hey! Good to see you.

I'm just back from my walk in the park.

It was really windy.

I found lots of things that got blown down from the trees.

I found...

a prickly pine cone,

a smooth and shiny acorn,

and... Ah!

..a wrinkly walnut.

They look very different from one another, don't they?

But they all have one thing in common.

They're all tasty snacks for one of our Iconicle friends.

Can you guess who that could be?

No?

Let's go and find out.

# With a wave of my hands Let's explore

# Wonderful lands never seen before

# The Iconi-screen My most amazing machine

# The I I-I I-coni-Screen

# Wild wilderness Around the garden hedge

# Down on the farm and by the Water's Edge

# Guess which Iconicle is coming to play

# Can you guess which world we'll visit today? #

Now this is where the fun really begins.

Have you guessed who it is yet?

Who eats nuts for energy, and never keeps still?

Did you guess right?

I wonder how many nuts you need to eat

to be as super-springy as Skitter?

Ooh!

Ha-ha-ha!

Wa-hey!

Hey!

He-heeey!

Wheee!

Heeeeey!

Ho-ho-ho!

Wa-he-hey!

Ha-ha-ha! Ooh! Ha-ha! Hee-hee-hee!

He-hey!

Hi, Nat!

-Hi, Skitter! Whoa!

-Whee! Ha-ha!

You are springy today.

Isn't everyone as springy as me?

No! I wish I was.

You are the King Of Spring!

Yes! But what about everyone in the Wild Wilderness?

The Water's Edge and the farm?

What about Bryn? He must be as springy as me.

I'm not sure about that.

Can we take a visit to the farm to find out? Please?

OK.

THEY SNORE

Oh! But counting sheep just isn't working tonight, Miss Moo!

SHE YAWNS

But I've spent hours singing you lullabies, playing games,

and telling stories to get you to sleep.

I know...

how about counting hens?

That helps Miss Moo nod off to sleep in no time.

Mm-mm.

-Frogs?

-Mm-mm.

-Horses?

-Mm-mm.

-Apples? Up

-Mm-mm.

Apples? Honestly!

I've tried counting everything in the farmyard, Miss Moo,

but I'm just not sleepy tonight.

See? Look how wide awake I am!

Hump ridge haystacks! What?

Oh, hello, Bryn.

Oops! Sorry, Jasmine. I didn't mean to wake you.

Well, for once, I don't mind, Bryn.

I would have overslept if you hadn't.

-Overslept?

-Yes, Bryn. Jasmine is different from you and I.

She sleeps during the day and is awake at night.

All night? Wow.

I'd love that.

You're welcome to join me for a stroll

around the farm if you want, Bryn.

It'll be nice to have some company.

Hmm, are you sure that's such a good idea, Jasmine?

I mean, Bryn can't possibly stay awake all night.

What?! I bet I can.

In fact, I know I can. I will stay awake all night, just you see.

I promise I'll be good, Miss Moo.

I won't make any noise and Jasmine will be looking after me,

won't you, Jasmine?

Oh, go on, Miss Moo. He'll be safe with me.

And it will give you a chance to catch up on some beauty sleep.

Mmm, that would be good. All right, if you are sure, Jasmine.

Enjoy yourself and be quiet!

-I will.

-Zzzz.

It's going to be so exciting!

Zzzzz.

Bryn is certainly full of bounce to be awake at that time of night.

Ha-ha-ha! He must have a lot more energy than me. I love my sleep.

I think you're springier.

I wish I was as springy and bouncy and energetic as you, Skitter.

I can show you how, Nat.

All you need is a crash course at Skitter School.

Yes! We could have lessons in springing and running.

-And juggling too, if you like.

-Now, that sounds like fun!

OK. Your first lesson is zigzagging. I hardly ever run in straight lines.

I always like to zigzag. Wee-hee!

Woo-hoo-hoo! He-hee!

Ho-hoo! Here I go, go, go!

Do the same as me, it's easy.

Ha! Maybe this'll help.

Go, Nat, go!

Way-hey-hey!

-Nice.

-Woo-hoo.

-Wait!

-I can do it! I can...

-Stop!

Woah!

Huh! Oh, Nat?

It's all right, I'm OK.

-Phew, zigzagging was fun. But it's not easy!

-Ha-ha-ha.

You remind me of Bryn. He always crashes into things, too.

Yes, but hopefully not in the dark.

I wonder if he caught up with Jasmine. Let's find out.

Jasmine! Where are...?

Shh. Remember, you're supposed to be quiet at night.

-You'll wake the whole farmyard.

-Sorry, I didn't see you there.

I can't see anything here, there or anywhere.

-It's too dark.

-It can never be too dark for me.

My eyes are different to yours. They see much better in the dark. Ha-ha!

Just give your eyes a moment and soon you'll be able to see better.

I see the bucket, the hay bales, the trees, and the barn!

-I can see everything now.

-Good, your eyes needed time to get used

to finding the light in the dark.

-What shall we do now?

-How about a very special night-time game?

A game? Wahoo!

I've played every game on the farm. I love games. Which is it?

Hunt the hen's egg?

Leapfrog the leapfrog?

No, this is a game you've definitely never played before.

-It's called catch moons.

-Catch moons?

-But there is only one moon, even I know that.

-Oh, is that so?

-Miss Moo did tell you that night and day are different, didn't she?

-Yes.

And so are the games you can play and the things you can see.

So tell me, how many moons can you see?

-One, there is only one moon.

-Then, what about that? And that?

And that? And that?

-Wow! There are lots of moons everywhere.

-Exactly.

And in this game you have to catch as many as you can

before the clouds block them out. Like this.

You catch and I'll keep count. Ready, steady, go! One,

two, three,

four, five, six, seven, eight.

You need to hurry, Bryn. The clouds are closing in.

Where? Where?

-Oh! Over there.

-Hurry, Bryn!

Nine! That was brilliant fun. Can we play again?

First, there's something else I'd like you to see and hear. Follow me!

I think spiders' webs look at their very best under the light of a moon.

They look so different. More...magical.

And they don't only look different, they sound different, too. Listen.

WEB PLAYS A TUNE

It's lovely. It's very quiet at night, isn't it, Jasmine?

Yes, that's what I love about the night.

Brrr! But it is colder, isn't it?

That's because the sun isn't there to warm things up.

I wish the sun could shine at night too.

HE YAWNS

Bryn? Bryn? Are you still awake?

Awake? Of course I'm awake!

And I'm staying awake all night.

HE YAWNS

What's that?

-They're fireflies.

-What's a firefly?

Jump into that long grass and you'll see them.

You look amazing! Buzz, buzz, buzzy fireflies.

-Hey, wait for me!

-Sshh!

Not too loud, Bryn. You'll wake the whole farm.

Bryn! Bryn...

Oh, dear, Miss Moo won't be happy. Bryn!

-Bryn is off again. Where does he find his energy?

-Fun!

That's a brilliant source of energy.

Talking of fun, time for Skitter School lesson two. Springing! And...

jump and kick and twist and flip and kick and jump again! Wa-hey!

Here we go.

Star jump, star jump, kick, kick, twist, somersault, finish!

-Let's hope it's easier than it looks.

-Here we go.

-OK.

And...jump!

And kick! And twist!

And jump!

And star jump! Come on, star jump!

Running on the spot!

OK. Somersault!

Erm...finish.

HE GASPS I'm not...

as springy... as you, Skitter.

-You will be. You just need more zing!

-Zing!

Zing! I know where I can get more zing.

Whee-hee!

Hey-hey! That's better.

Brilliant! Now tell your knees to bend, Nat.

They can help you spring up even higher.

-I think this is the best they can do, Skitter.

-That's fine.

My knees have had more practice. They're springier because of it.

So practice makes you springier? This is great,

I'm learning about how we're different.

The trampoline helps make me springy. Whoo!

Hee-hee!

And skateboarding helps me zigzag almost as fast as you.

-But stopping wasn't that easy!

-Never mind, practice makes perfect.

OK, I'm ready for more Skitter School. What's next?

Juggling.

I love watching Skitter juggle.

Check out how many things he can juggle at once.

Hey-hey!

Hee-hee!

You're good, Skitter.

Ooh! Ooh!

-Ha-ha!

-Hee-hee!

-OK, time to see if I can juggle that many.

-But where are the nuts?

I use balls instead.

-Two...

-Whoo!

-..then three...

-And another one.

-No problem.

Hee-hee-hee! That was brilliant, Nat.

You might not be as springy as me yet,

but you can juggle just as well.

Thanks. Maybe we should take a break and see

if Bryn managed to stay awake all night.

SNORING

-Where have all the fireflies gone?

-I expect they've gone to sleep.

But they're too small to make snoring that big!

-(Shh! We don't want to wake them.)

-I won't.

I wonder what they're dreaming about.

Elvis is probably dreaming about lovely, fresh hay.

I bet Curly is dreaming about rolling down the hill with me.

Whee!

-And I bet she wins. She always wins.

-Even in your dreams?

Sometimes.

I love dreaming about all sorts of things. Not just rolling.

'I dream of going swimming with Dapper,

'leaping fences with Elvis,

'bouncing with Miss Moo.'

I even dreamt that I went flying

high up in the sky with you, Jasmine!

-Imagine that, me, flying as high as the clouds.

-Now THAT'S a dream!

Do you remember any of your dreams, Jasmine?

-Not really - I keep getting woken up!

-Did you see that? And that?

-And that?

-See what?

That! It looks like a really big firefly.

Aah, those are something that you can only see at night,

if you're very lucky.

-What are they?

-They're called shooting stars.

If you see one, you should make a wish, it might come true.

-A wish? Really?

-Yes. Close your eyes tightly.

-Oh, but be careful not to let anybody hear your wish.

-I wish...

-I wish I could...

-Keep it secret!

-I did it.

-Good. So, what did you enjoy most about the night?

I enjoyed seeing the spider's webs and hearing you play a tune on them.

-I enjoyed that too.

-Oh! And the buzzing fireflies.

I loved the way they glowed and made patterns in the sky.

Playing with them was great fun.

Oh! And I really loved playing catch moons.

One, two, three...

-Eight, nine!

-That's one of my favourite games, too.

But my bestest thing was being out with you, Jasmine.

-HE YAWNS

-You're the best!

-Thank you, Bryn. So are you.

-Look!

The field is on fire!

Don't worry, that's not a fire, it's a sunrise.

The sun? You mean...?

Yes, it's daytime again. The night is gone. You did it!

You stayed up all night.

I did? That's...

-HE YAWNS

-..brilliant!

Well, was it a successful night, Jasmine?

Very, Miss Moo.

We played games, made night music, met new friends...

Oh, and Bryn even made a secret wish on a shooting star.

It sounds like a very busy night! And did your wish come true, Bryn?

Bryn? HE SNORES

If his wish was to stay up all night, it did come true. Just!

-SHE YAWNS

-It's well past my bedtime now.

Time for me to hit the hay. Goodnight.

Goodnight, Jasmine.

Or should that be good morning? Sleep tight.

Hmm, I wonder what Bryn wished for.

To stay awake all night. And he did, so his wish came true.

You're right. If I'd stayed awake all night,

there's something I would've definitely wished for.

Can you guess what? Yes, sleep!

GAMES ALARM BLARES

-Fancy a game of Who, What, When, Where, Why?

-Yes, yes, yes!

-Me too.

-Nice, I like it!

-Come on, let's play.

OK, the clock's ticking. Were you watching closely?

Let's see what you can remember.

Question one.

What did Jasmine play her night-time tune to Bryn on?

-Skitter?

-Erm...

er...spider's web.

I think spider's webs look at their very best under the light of a moon.

They look so different. More...magical.

And they don't only look different, they sound different, too. Listen.

WEB PLAYS A TUNE

-Great work, Skitter, you were right.

-Yes, yes, yes!

Did you get that one? OK, time for a hard one.

How many moons did Bryn catch in the moon catch game?

Ooh! Er... I know, I know!

There were... One, two, three, four...

Are you counting too?

..five, six, seven, eight...nine! There were nine moons.

-You need to hurry, the clouds are closing in!

-Where? Where?

-Oh, over there!

-Hurry, Bryn!

Nine!

-Right again, Skitter!

-Hoo-hoo!

OK, time for one last question.

Let's see if you can beat Skitter to the answer.

How was Elvis sleeping tonight?

Any ideas?

Um... Er...

Ah! Elvis doesn't sleep in the hay like Miss Moo,

or lay in the reeds next to the duckpond, like Dapper.

So he must have been standing up in the top field.

That's it! Elvis sleeps standing up.

I wonder what they're dreaming about.

Elvis is probably dreaming about lovely, fresh hay.

Well done! Elvis was standing up asleep.

Whee! Nutty-tastic!

Just beat the clock on that one.

-Mmm!

-HE SNIFFS

Ooh!

Did you guess Elvis slept standing up? Well done if you did.

So, Nat, what did you learn at Skitter School today?

Well, I learned that practice makes you springier,

and that for me to spring up high, I really need to use a trampoline.

I learned that you do some things differently.

You use a skateboard to go faster, a trampoline

to bounce high, and you use balls instead of nuts to juggle with.

Ha-ha, weird! I also learned that although we do things differently,

we still both have just as much fun.

You bet we do! Thanks for your help today, Skitter.

Any time, Nat.

-HE YAWNS

-Time for me to go.

Bye!

-Hey-hey! Ooh!

-Bye, Skitter.

Bye, Nat. Hey-hey!

I hope you enjoyed Skitter School too.

Now, what happened to those nuts I collected earlier?

Oh! Skitter!

I'll see you next time. Bye!
