Hey, hello there, tiddlers, how you tiddling? | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
Oh, Mr Bloom here and I like going out and about. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
Yeah, I like going here and there doing lots of fun things | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
and finding out about new places. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
And I've been wondering what do you like to do where you live? Hm? | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
Perhaps you might like to do a spot of horse riding or maybe | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
-a bit of gardening like me. -BELL RINGS | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
Someone's got in touch. Shall we see who it is? | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
Hello, my name is Hannah. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
I like playing in my garden. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
I love playing with my Hula Hoop. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
I really like doing that. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
I like watering my flowers. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
I like bouncing on my trampoline. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
I love where I live! | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
I can see the Falkirk Wheel from my house. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
The Falkirk Wheel is a huge lift but not for people, for boats. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:01 | |
Today, I'm going to the canal with my friends Ben and Prasoon. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
BOAT HORN HONKS | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
It would be great if you came along, Mr Bloom. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
ALL: Yay! | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
Eh, well, that'd be grand. Best be on my way then. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
# Whereabouts will I end up next? | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
# Let's put my routefinder to the test | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
# It could be a beach, a village or a city | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
# Museum or a school, a garden so pretty | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
# A church or a station, a river or town | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
# I just can't wait till you show me around | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
# Tiddlers, I'm on my way | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
# So, where am I today? # | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
Now, I wonder where Hannah and her friends are. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
ALL: We're over here, Mr Bloom. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
Oh, hello. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
I'll come round. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
-Hey! Hello there, tiddlers. -ALL: Hello, Mr Bloom. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
Thanks for inviting me, Hannah. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
It's nice to see you, Prasoon, and you, Ben. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
And it's lucky that bridge was there. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come over. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
Although it might cause a few problems for that fella. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
How's he going to get his boat under that low bridge? What can we do? | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
We could move the bridge over that way because it's a swing bridge. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:56 | |
-I see, so does the bridge swing open? -Yeah. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
I see and then he can get his boat through. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
Come on then, let's go. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:03 | |
One, two, three, heave! | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
Push, push, push! | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
There we are, push, that's it. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
Come on, muscle man Ben, that's good going. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
Come on, Prasoon, you can do it. All right, that's it, now we're cooking. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
Very good. Now, stop pushing. Good work. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:27 | |
Hey, look, he can go through now. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
There he goes. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
Give him a wave. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:34 | |
Right. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
So, now that boat's gone through, we need to put the bridge back. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
Push! That's it. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
Oh, you are strong tiddlers. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
Now the bridge has swung back, people can cross the canal | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
and the boat continues on its way towards the lock. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
Come here, Mr Bloom. The boat's going into the lock. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
Hey. Sorry, tiddlers. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
I was getting a brolly and my coat cos of this rain. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
Oh, look. So what's going on here? | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
The boat's in the lock. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
It's a kind of boat lift. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
The gates close behind it. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
It works like a bathtub. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
You fill it up with water. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
The water level rises. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
It helps the boat to go from down low to up high. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:39 | |
The front gates open. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
The boat goes through. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
It takes a long time for this one boat to go through the lock, | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
-doesn't it? -The Wheel's much faster. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
Yeah, well, look at that. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:56 | |
I'm so excited about riding on that Wheel. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
-Shall we climb aboard? -ALL: Yeah! -Follow me. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
Under the umbrella, let's go. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:03 | |
Let's get on this boat. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
Here we go, tiddlers, we're going into the Falkirk Wheel. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
-Are we going to go down? -No, we'll go up! | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
We are, we're going to go up. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
That's right. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:20 | |
The Wheel will take us from this low-down part of the canal to | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
another part of the canal that's much higher up. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
Oh, here we go. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
We're going high. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
Oh, look at that one! | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
-Oh, look, we can see the side of the wheel, can't we? -Yeah. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
You know what, tiddlers? | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
-I think we're reaching halfway. -Halfway? | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
Yeah, we're not quite at the top and we're not quite at the bottom. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:52 | |
-That's a big hill. -That's right, Prasoon, it is a big hill. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
Look, Hannah, look out there. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
-I can see the top of the Falkirk Wheel. -Well done, Prasoon. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:06 | |
I think we're nearly there. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
Hey, tiddlers, we've arrived at the top of the Falkirk Wheel. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
We're now as high as eight double-decker buses all | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
piled on top of one another. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
And we can see a lot more from up here, can't we? | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
Hannah, can you see your house? Do you know where it might be? | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
-That way. -Really? That way? | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
-What can you see, Prasoon? -We can see the tower! | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
The tower, yeah, the electricity pylons. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-I can see the signal of the boat. -That's right. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
Hey, look, the traffic light has changed from red. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
-What's it changed to? -Green. -Green and green means we can...? -Go. | 0:07:55 | 0:08:01 | |
-Go through. -Yeah! | 0:08:01 | 0:08:02 | |
And, tiddlers, do you know canals were made by people? | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
Yeah, they dug them out. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
And in the old days, do you know what people used canals for? | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
They helped people get from one place to another. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
That's right and they could carry all sorts of things that | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
people needed from city to city. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
And do you know how canal boats used to move? | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
-Do you know what they were pulled by? -Horses. -Horses, that's right. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:30 | |
-BELL RINGS -Ooh. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
Ah, look, it's the routefinder and I think it wants to show us | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
more about canals. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
Ah, would you look at that? | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
A horse helping to pull a barge a long time ago. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
Now, horses can still help but nowadays, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
canal boats are powered by engines. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
Some boats carry cargo. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
Some people even live on canal boats. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
They often paint their boats with colourful pictures | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
and put plant pots and flowers on the roof. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
These tiddlers are showing us their boat. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
There's a living room, | 0:09:12 | 0:09:13 | |
a kitchen, | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
somewhere to wash... | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
..and somewhere to sleep. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
A floating home that can travel to all sorts of places. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
Now, that sounds like fun to me. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
We've been all the way up and now, we're back down again. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
Oh, I tell you, tiddlers, | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
that Falkirk Wheel is a very clever invention, don't you think? | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
ALL: Yeah. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
And all the colourful boats can travel on it. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
-How about we make some boats of our own? -ALL: Yeah! | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
I bet we can make them really colourful, couldn't we? | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
Come on, Ben, you lead on. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
We're going to make a plastic bottle boat, that'll be fun, eh, tiddlers? | 0:10:02 | 0:10:07 | |
ALL: Yeah. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
We've got an empty bottle and some things to decorate it with. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
Now, let's start with these stickers. There we go. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
Eh, tiddlers, do you remember that boat that the routefinder showed us? | 0:10:17 | 0:10:22 | |
What was on top? | 0:10:22 | 0:10:23 | |
-ALL: Flowerpots. -Flowerpots, yeah, they had some flowers in. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:28 | |
Next, we can make a sail and we can draw pictures on them. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |
I'm drawing me. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:34 | |
-I'm going to draw a rose. -A rose? Oh, very nice. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
We have to put dried rice in the bottle | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
and that'll stop our boats from tipping over. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
Top job. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
So, all we need to do now is we need to put our sail onto our boat | 0:10:53 | 0:10:58 | |
and then we're ready to set sail. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
The water park's the perfect place to try out our boats. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:15 | |
So, Prasoon, where's your boat going to go? | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
I'm going to put the boat on top of the water | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
and then the boat will go from up high to down low. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:26 | |
Woo-hoo! | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
It sailed right through. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
And if you open this gate, it'll go even further down. Let's go. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
Open...the gates! | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
-It's like those locks we saw earlier on. -Yeah. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
Well, I have had a fantastic time at the Falkirk Wheel today, tiddlers. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:50 | |
It's time I was off now but join me soon when I'll be... | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
ALL: Here and there. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
-Bye-bye, tiddlers. -ALL: Bye! | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
