0:00:40 > 0:00:41BELLS RING

0:00:41 > 0:00:42Bells!

0:00:42 > 0:00:46- Where are they coming from?- I think they're coming from the church.

0:00:46 > 0:00:50- Come on, let's go see. - Yay! I love churches.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53'I never knew churches had bells.

0:00:53 > 0:00:58'Near the church the bells are much louder.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02'Mum points up to the tower where all the bells are.'

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Ah, look!

0:01:04 > 0:01:06Melody, they're ringing the bells.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10'There's a circle of people pulling on ropes.'

0:01:10 > 0:01:12And as they pull...

0:01:12 > 0:01:15'It looks like really hard work.

0:01:15 > 0:01:19'The bell ringers have to pull a rope, which is attached

0:01:19 > 0:01:23'to the bells above them, and they make the bell turn and ring.'

0:01:23 > 0:01:24BELLS RING

0:01:26 > 0:01:28'The sound is lovely!

0:01:31 > 0:01:35'The bells are high above us in the tower of the church.

0:01:41 > 0:01:45'The rope has a woolly bit, it feels soft.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47'It's called a woolly sally.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52'Mum says it's made of sheep's wool.'

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Look, they're tying up now, they're finished.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59That was brilliant, thank you. Thank you very much.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Would you like to come and have a go?- Yes, please!

0:02:02 > 0:02:04That would be lovely.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06I think you need to take your scarf off...

0:02:06 > 0:02:10'I take off my scarf so it doesn't get caught in the rope

0:02:10 > 0:02:13'and I stand on a box so I can reach.'

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Come and stand on the box.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21You'll be chiming the bell and you just reach up and pull.

0:02:21 > 0:02:26- You don't need to look up.- In a minute it's going to make a noise.

0:02:26 > 0:02:27BELL RINGS

0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Melody! - SHE LAUGHS

0:02:29 > 0:02:32- That's wonderful. - You're keeping the time well!

0:02:32 > 0:02:34She's ringing very well.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42BELLS RING

0:02:44 > 0:02:48- I did it, I did it, I rang the bell!- Yes, you did.

0:02:48 > 0:02:53- Mummy, have you got any music with a bell in it?- I do, actually.

0:02:53 > 0:02:58Now, there's a piece all about a brand-new bell. Guess what?

0:02:58 > 0:03:02The first time it was rung it cracked. See what you think.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08This is called the Liberty Bell by John Philip Sousa.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12MUSIC: Liberty Bell by John Philip Sousa

0:03:12 > 0:03:14It's a marching band!

0:03:14 > 0:03:18And that little man is carrying a brand-new bell.

0:03:21 > 0:03:26They're taking it to the tower to ring for the very first time.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39He's not marching, he looks like he's dancing!

0:03:46 > 0:03:49MUSIC CONTINUES

0:04:03 > 0:04:06This is such a big band!

0:04:14 > 0:04:15They're amazing!

0:04:51 > 0:04:54He nearly bumped into the trumpets.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12He-he-he! He's lost in the middle of the band.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Keep hold of that bell!

0:05:31 > 0:05:34The bell is still safe.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44MUSIC CONTINUES

0:05:47 > 0:05:49He's tripped!

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Phew! He caught it.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08He's tripped again.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13Now a bird has caught the bell.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Now he's running across the top of the band

0:06:30 > 0:06:33trying to grab the bell from the bird.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38He's got it!

0:06:45 > 0:06:48He-he-he!

0:06:48 > 0:06:51That music made me think of a marching band.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54What did it make you think of?
