0:00:11 > 0:00:15# From a castle or the jungle to the Arctic Sea

0:00:18 > 0:00:21# Or quiet as a sigh
0:00:21 > 0:00:23# As dainty as a dance step
0:00:23 > 0:00:27# Or soaring high in the sky

0:00:47 > 0:00:48Right, we're going to...
0:00:48 > 0:00:51MELODY: Me and mum are making a great big picture
0:00:51 > 0:00:54with loads of different things to stick on.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56This is all desert at the bottom,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58and then what's this top bit going to be?
0:00:58 > 0:01:00- A sky.- A sky!
0:01:00 > 0:01:03It's lovely and blue. Now, what goes in a sky?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- What should we put in the sky? - Cloud. And sun.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09I'd like some sun. What have I got in our box?
0:01:09 > 0:01:13We're making a big yellow glittery sun.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Oh, that's nice. What else? You said clouds, didn't you?- Yes.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- What should we make the clouds out of?- Wool.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Bit of wool, yeah. Should we pull it a bit?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Make it nice and fluffy?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26They're going to blow away, aren't they?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- How can we stop them from blowing away?- Glue.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31That's your favourite bit.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Roll those sleeves up. Big, nice splodge for one of them.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- You've got two bits. - GLUE SPURTS
0:01:36 > 0:01:39They're little ones. Pop that on there.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- Now, your hippo needs to have a drink, doesn't he?- Yes.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Otherwise he will be very thirsty.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- What could we use as the water here? - Tinfoil.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53It's nice and shiny, isn't it?
0:01:53 > 0:01:57'We tear up silver foil and stick it down to make a waterhole.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02'And pieces of corrugated card for mud!'
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- ..lots of mud, aren't we?- Yeah.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08'And for my hippo. The card is great for the mud!
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- 'The ridges feel like ripples.' - Should we bring your hippo back?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Yeah.- Pop him in his new home.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16My hippo loves the mud!
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- So, are we going to make a friend for your hippo, Melody?- Yes!
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- An elephant!- Ah, OK.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Oh, dear.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27I don't think we've got enough material for an elephant.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- How about a mouse instead? - GIGGLES
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Who ever heard of a mouse and a hippo being friends?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Well, friendship comes in all shapes and sizes.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- They might surprise you. - Surprise me?- Yes!
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I could just see them dancing together at the ballet.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- Mummy, have you got any dancing music for hippos?- Yes, I have.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51This music is very dramatic.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54It always makes me think of a grand theatre show.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57See what you think.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00'This is the Cello Concerto by Edward Elgar.'
0:03:02 > 0:03:04DRAMATIC CELLO MUSIC

0:06:41 > 0:06:47- Oh! So they can be friends?- Yes! - Mmm. OK.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51That music made me think of a dancing hippo.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53What did it make you think of?
