0:00:05 > 0:00:09Hello! Come on, everybody, take a seat.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14Woo!
0:00:14 > 0:00:15BOTH: Hello!
0:00:15 > 0:00:16- BOTH:- Hello!
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Wiggle your fingers and cross your feet.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26Are you ready?
0:00:26 > 0:00:31One, two, three, watch me.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35Four, five, six, I've got some tricks.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41Seven, eight, nine, it's almost time.
0:00:41 > 0:00:4310!
0:00:43 > 0:00:45ALL: Magic Hands!
0:00:46 > 0:00:49# Just look at my magic
0:00:49 > 0:00:50# My magic hands
0:00:50 > 0:00:54# Make your fingers super-duper. #
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Magic Hands!
0:01:00 > 0:01:06- Hello.- Hello. - My name is D-O-N-N-A - Donna.
0:01:06 > 0:01:12And my name is A-S-H-L-E-Y - Ashley.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Look at what my hands can do.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Oh! I didn't expect that.
0:01:17 > 0:01:23It's a kangaroo. Look at it bouncing off into the distance.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Kangaroos live in Australia.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I know a poem about Australia.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38It was written by a man called Banjo Paterson
0:01:38 > 0:01:41and it's called Waltzing Matilda.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55That's all lovely dancing but, in Australia,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58waltzing doesn't just mean dancing -
0:01:58 > 0:02:01it also means walking in the countryside.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05And Matilda isn't just a girl's name -
0:02:05 > 0:02:07it's also the word for a sack.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15So what's this poem about?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18It's about a sheep and something that happens to it.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Ooh.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- Let's find out what happens. - I wonder what that could be.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Are you ready?
0:02:45 > 0:02:50OH! there once was a swagman camped in the Billabong...
0:02:53 > 0:02:55..under the shade of a coolabah tree.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03And he sang as he looked at his old billy boiling...
0:03:05 > 0:03:08"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Down came a jumbuck to drink at the water-hole...
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Up jumped the swagman and jumped him in glee.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34And he sang as he put him away in his tucker-bag,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me!"
0:03:40 > 0:03:46Down came the Squatter a-riding his thorough-bred.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Down came policemen - one, two, and three.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56"Whose is the jumbuck you've got in the tucker-bag?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."
0:04:08 > 0:04:14But the swagman, he up and he jumped in the water-hole...
0:04:14 > 0:04:17drowning himself by the coolabah tree.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the billabong,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, my darling?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Waltzing Matilda and leading a water bag.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
0:05:09 > 0:05:14Maybe the swagman is still waltzing round Australia today.
0:05:14 > 0:05:21I know another poem about another Australian animal called a platypus.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31A platypus has a tail like a beaver...
0:05:33 > 0:05:34..a furry body...
0:05:37 > 0:05:39..webbed feet...
0:05:42 > 0:05:44..and a beak like a duck.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55This poem was again written by Banjo Paterson...
0:05:57 > 0:05:59..and it's called Old Man Platypus.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Are you ready?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Far from the trouble and toil of town...
0:06:29 > 0:06:32where the reed beds sweep and shiver...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Look at a fragment of velvet brown...
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Old Man Platypus drifting down...
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Drifting along the river.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53And he plays and dives in the river bends...
0:06:55 > 0:06:57..in a style that is most elusive.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03With few relations and fewer friends,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06for Old Man Platypus descends
0:07:06 > 0:07:08from a family most exclusive.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15He shares his burrow beneath the bank
0:07:15 > 0:07:19with his wife and his son and daughter.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28At the roots of the reeds and the grasses rank.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36And the bubbles show where our hero sank...
0:07:37 > 0:07:40..to its entrance under water.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Safe in their burrow below the falls...
0:07:58 > 0:08:01..they live in a world of wonder...
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Where no-one visits and no one calls...
0:08:11 > 0:08:14..they sleep like little brown billiard balls...
0:08:18 > 0:08:20..with their beaks tucked neatly under.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29And he talks in a deep unfriendly growl...
0:08:32 > 0:08:35..as he goes on his journey lonely.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41For he's no relation to fish nor fowl...
0:08:45 > 0:08:53..nor to bird nor beast, nor to horned owl.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00In fact, he's the one and only!
0:09:12 > 0:09:15We've learnt a lot about Australia today.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19We've learnt about kangaroos and platypuses.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Why don't you think about other countries
0:09:22 > 0:09:25that have unusual and unique animals?
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Can you name any?
0:09:28 > 0:09:29BOTH: Bye-bye.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35ALL: Magic Hands!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38# Just look at my magic
0:09:39 > 0:09:41# My magic hands
0:09:41 > 0:09:44# Make your fingers super-duper. #
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Magic Hands!
