Floating Funfair Fun Mr Bloom's Nursery

There is a place not far from here.

I'm sure you know it.

It's ever so near.

But we're off out.

It's time to see

what grows outside

Mr Bloom's nursery.

Are you coming?

# Such a big adventure

# Come along with me

# With my trusty Compo car, there is no place I'd rather be

# From north to south and east to west

# I've got what we'll need for our quest

# A spear, a fork, my wheelbarrow

# My dressing-up box and a grand piano

# A radio that's on the blink

# Saucepan, doormat... #

Who brought this sink?!

# Come down to my fete

# I'm sure you'll think it's great

# Learn about how things grow

# Pop along and say hello

# There's so much we can see and do

# With my little veggie crew

# Come along and join with me

# Mr Bloom's Nursery... #

'Morning, tiddlers, mums and dads.

'The time has come where I can say

'the Mr Bloom's Nursery travelling fete is open!

'So get set, grow!'

Today I brought my travelling fete to Kings Lynn,

and I'm just off out to find me some tiddlers.

-Hello there, tiddlers.

-ALL: Hello, Mr Bloom!

Thanks for coming along today, Nelly, Kaylin and Sanya.

-What have you picked up on your travels?

-Coconut.

-Look at this!

These are amazing, they are actually seeds.

-What is going to grow out of this?

-Palm trees!

-That's right.

-Will you stop by and see me and the veggies later?

-Yes!

-All right. There is your spare coconut back.

-Thank you.

-See you later. Bye-bye!

-Bye!

I wonder who that lady is. She is as pretty as a princess.

But why would Mr Bloom have her photograph in his suitcase?

It is a real mystery, maybe this is a job for Captain Asparagus!

Maybe, Raymond, or perhaps we could just ask Mr Bloom who the lady is.

Hey-up, veggies. How are you getting on with the un-packing?

-Have you found anything nice?

-Rubber ducky bean!

-Quack!

Colin, you found Nigel.

-You know, he used to be my very own bathtime pal. Do you like him?

-Yeah!

Maybe he can be your new paddling pal now.

-You take good care of him, Colin, he is a very special duck.

-Bean friend.

-What else have you found?

-We found this picture.

-Who is the lady in the photograph, Mr Bloom?

-Is she a princess, is she?

That is a very good guess, but it's not quite right.

That is Granny Bloom.

-Yes, when she was much younger.

-ALL: Granny Bloom!

-She looks so young.

-It was taken a long time ago.

-Back then, Granny Bloom used to work on the funfair.

-Funfair bean?

-What is a funfair, Mr Bloom?

-A funfair? A funfair is great.

The last time I went to a funfair, Raymond, I lost my hat,

I was laughing that much.

Yes, there is candy floss, beautiful pink candy floss,

tastes as sweet as honey.

STEAM WHISTLE BLOWS

Yummy candy floss in my tummy!

Yes, and there are merry-go-rounds, they're great fun.

-Very funny puppet shows.

-Ooh, brilliant.

Lovely shiny goldfish as prizes and great big cuddly toys.

I'd love a cuddly toy. I'd snuggle it all day long.

Veggies, Granny Bloom left me a whole box of fairground bits and bobs,

and we could use this to transform the whole tent into a funfair.

THEY CHEER

Let's see what we've got. We've got bunting, that's a good start.

-This is going to be the most amazing...

-Brilliant...

Fantastic funfair ever.

THEY LAUGH

-Quack.

-Nigel left out bean.

Don't worry about that, Colin, I'm sure

we can find something for Nigel to do at the funfair.

But, Mr Bloom, how can a rubber duck take part in a funfair?

That is the great thing about funfairs,

there is something fun for everyone.

We just need to get our thinking caps on

and think of something fun for Nigel.

-Yes.

-I forgot, I've got to pop out.

I promised some friends I was going to help them do a spot of gardening.

Compo, whose turn is it to come outside today?

THEY CHEER

Colin, maybe Nigel should waddle along with us. You never know,

we might get some ideas of what we could do at the funfair.

-Colin and Nigel fun bean.

-Right then. Colin, Nigel, you're with me.

-The rest of you, get started making the funfair. All right?

-All right.

-See you later.

-Bye!

Bye!

# Off on an expedition

# Me and a veggie on a little mission

# Don't delay

# Let's make our way

# I wonder what we'll see today

# Off on an expedition

# Me and a veggie on a little mission

# Lots to see, lots to show

# Come on, Colin, let's go! #

Ha-ha!

-# You really are a speedy runner...

-Bean!

-# You're the fastest veggie I've ever...

-Seen!

-# When it's time for an adventure, you're always...

-Keen!

-# You're a lean!

-Bean!

-Green!

-Bean!

-Running machine!

# Off on an expedition

# Me and a veggie on a little mission

# On my friend I can depend

# It's lovely having time to spend

# We're off on an expedition

# Me and a veggie on a little mission

# Off we go, just us two

# On an adventure, me and you! #

Ha-ha!

Right then, Colin.

Now, we've done our sightseeing, we visited the Houses of Parliament

and "Duckingham Palace", haven't we, Nigel?

London has got something really rather special running

-straight through the middle of it.

-Runner bean!

Not a runner bean, Colin, let me show you.

I will show you as well, Nigel. Come on, off you go.

Look, don't go too fast!

River bean!

-Wow!

-Yes, there's a river running straightaway through London, do you know what it's called?

It is called the River Thames. Yes.

Look, there is lots of boats floating on it.

Big boats.

-Little boats.

-Noisy boats.

-Yes, garden boats.

-Garden boats?

-Yes indeed. Look, there are gardens floating on the river.

-Shall we take a look?

-Look bean!

All right.

-Hello there, tiddlers.

-Hello, Mr Bloom.

Astrid and Evy.

Look at this fantastic garden you've got on your boat.

Tiddlers, what have you been growing here?

-Strawberries, courgettes, tomatoes.

-Oh, I see.

Gardening bean.

Oh, you're right, Colin.

We came along to help you tiddlers do a bit of gardening.

Come on, let's go! Oh, Colin, don't forget Nigel, all right?

Nigel! Nigel? Nigel!

Tiddlers, do you know what I was thinking?

There is a bit of space here with nothing growing in it.

-Shall we do some planting?

-Yes!

-Yes. You know what?

I've brought you some herbs. So it's just the thing for this space.

First of all, we need to do some digging, don't we? That's right.

Good work, Astrid.

There we go.

Stick that one down in there. Here's the other one.

Those are lots of roots.

-Shall we put the soil there?

-We need to tuck these herbs in, don't we?

-Yes.

-Top gardening. Now we've got these herbs in the ground, what do they need next?

-They need water.

-They need some water, don't they?

-Yes.

-Mr Bloom!

Evelyn! Astrid! Watering bean!

I think Colin has got an idea. Follow me.

-Hey-up, Colin.

-River water bean!

-Duck!

-Nigel floating.

-Yes, Nigel the duck.

-Can you see, Nigel is floating on the water, isn't he?

-Yes.

You know what that reminds me of?

That reminds me of your garden boats floating on this river.

Girls, you grab your watering cans, here we are. I will fill them up.

Here we go.

Right, there is one for you. Here it comes.

Now, let's go and do some watering.

Colin and I, we've had a lovely time helping you

-with your floating garden.

-Floating Nigel!

Yeah, but I tell you what, we've got to go now.

We've got to get back to the fete.

Aw!

-TIDDLERS:

-Bye!

Come on, Colin, this way.

Hey, it's nice to be back at my fete and not on a wobbly boat.

Hey, I wonder what the tiddlers are up to.

Ooh, hello!

This looks like fun.

What are you doing, tiddlers?

-TIDDLERS:

-We're pond dipping!

Pond dipping? How do you do that?

We got a net

and we were trying to catch some fish.

Oh! And did you catch something?

Ooh! What can you see?

Now, he looks a bit like a woodlouse, doesn't he?

He's like the brother of a woodlouse that lives in the water.

He's called a water hoglouse. I think he's got 14 legs.

Oh, look!

Wow, that one's flying around like Captain Asparagus!

He's a water boatman. He's got great big long legs.

They look like they've got oars on them.

I can see something else using their legs to swim around.

A duck! Quack, quack!

I've got to go now. See you later, tiddlers.

CHOMPING

This candy floss is lovely, Joan!

Get off me, you daft squash!

The candy floss is over there!

Sorry!

It's so soft and fluffy, it's tickling my tummy!

I am going to explore the universe

and be the first princess

to walk on the moon.

Zoom!

Hello, veggies. Wobble my wheelbarrows, look at this!

You veggies have certainly been busy, haven't you?

You've transformed this tent into a fantastic funfair.

Now, tiddlers, we've created our very own funfair in here today.

What do you like about it, Nelly?

The carrots and the banner.

Oh, yeah, the banner's got veggies all over it.

Nigel funfair been?

That's well remembered, Colin.

Nigel the rubber duck is a good friend of ours,

and we really want Nigel to take part in our funfair.

We're just not sure how. Ooh!

Oh, look, Compo's got an idea, though.

Oh, yes, me and Colin visited London. It's a really big city.

And we met these tiddlers on a garden boat.

That was floating on the River Thames.

Nigel floating, quack, quack, quack!

Hey, that's right, Colin.

Nigel the duck, he really likes the float, doesn't it?

Tiddlers, what did you get up to?

We found lots of pond creatures.

-How did you catch the pond creatures, Nelly?

-We used a net.

So you tiddlers used nets, did you?

-TIDDLERS:

-Yeah.

Let's go catch the duckies!

Mash my potatoes, you've quacked it, Colin!

Yeah, we could make Nigel a grab-a-duck stall.

We could put Nigel and other floating ducks in a paddling pool.

And the veggies, they could use little nets to try and catch them.

They could even win some prizes. So, tiddlers, can you help us?

-TIDDLERS:

-Yes!

I knew you could!

OK, well, we're going to need some bits and bobs

for our funfair stall, aren't we?

-Yeah.

-Compo...

Whoa! Looks like someone's a bit low on energy.

We need to get him fed and sharpish.

Hello, hello, calling all tiddlers,

parents and grandparents.

We've got a very hungry compostarium here and he needs feeding.

So please oblige and fill the nearest copper funnel

full of lovely compostable bits and bobs.

Thank you very much. Bye bye.

# Grass and weeds and leaves from trees

# Thistles that prickle and petals that tickle

# Brown stuff, green stuff, sticky stuff, icky stuff

# Crunchy bits, munchy bits, snappy beats, sappy bits

# Yesterday's yums, chopping board crumbs

# It's not fussy what's in its tummy

# My awesome compostarium...

# Is full! #

Can't reach the duck.

Look at all this, tiddlers.

With all this brilliant stuff,

I reckon that Nigel's grab-a-duck stall is going to be

the best thing at the veggie funfair.

Come on, let's make him some friends, shall we?

Ooh, those are very lucky duckies!

Oh, they look brilliant!

What we need is a pool to put them in.

Leave it to me, tiddlers.

Ah, great work, tiddlers!

-TIDDLERS:

-Yay!

Now Nigel has got lots of other ducks to keep him company.

Nigel friends!

So, what do you think, tiddlers?

Shall we put Nigel in the paddling pool so he can have a float?

-TIDDLERS:

-Yes!

All right, come on, Nigel.

In he goes.

QUACKING

All right, who wants to see if they can grab Nigel

or one of his feathery friends?

-TIDDLERS:

-Me!

All right, then, roll up, roll up

to the greatest grab-a-duck stall in town.

Guaranteed a prize every time.

Ooh, this is so much fun.

Off you go!

He's chasing him... He's got him!

-Nelly's up next. Do you know which duck you're going to go for?

-Yes.

All right, then, get fishing.

He's trying to swim away.

She's got him!

CHEERING

Well done, Nelly.

Great work, tiddlers.

Those ducks will be netted in no time.

Here she goes.

Oh, it's a clean catch!

Splashing work, tiddlers.

Now, can you put your hands in your nets and fish your ducks out?

Let's look at the bottoms of them.

Oh! They mean that you tiddlers have won a prize.

Prizes? Oh, how exciting!

Let's see what Compo's got for you. Compo!

What are the star prizes at the veggie fair today?

COMPO WHISTLES

Oh! Look at these!

I've got some lovely cuddly toys.

-Did one of you tiddlers have a frog shape?

-Me.

You, Nelly?

Then that must be your cuddly frog. And who had a snail shape?

-Me.

-Sanya. That's for you.

Then that means, Kaylin,

this fish must belong to you.

What brilliant toys!

They look so soft and cuddly.

I think Joan would like a cuddle with your toy, Kaylin.

Is that all right?

Oh, oh, can I?

I've wanted to cuddle a toy all day long. Thank you, Kaylin.

You see, there's always enough cuddles for everyone?

Mr Bloom!

Oh, hello, Sebastian!

Mr Bloom, duck!

What? What is it?

No, Mr Bloom, a duck, look!

You cheeky aubergine!

How about you give us a nice song and dance for our funfair, eh?

Why, of course.

Funfairs AND singing?

Oh, this day just keeps on getting better and better!

OK, hold onto your coconuts.

# Nigel is a rubber duck

# On water he can float

# But how to make a funfair game?

# We saw some gardens on a boat!

# The tiddlers used their nets

# Our game had begun

# So I think we all deserve

# To sing and dance and have some fun!

# La la la la la la la

# La la la la la la

# La la la la la la la

# La la la, la la la

# La la la la la la la

# La la la la la la

# La la la la la la la

# La la la, la la la

# We've had a busy day

# How the time flies

# You veggies must be tired

# Let's bed you down, shut your eyes

# Come on, Margaret, Colin,

# Raymond, Joan and Sebastian

# Oh, settle down, you cheeky Wee MacGregors

# It's time for a snooze... #

-Did you enjoy making the duckies?

-Yes.

-That was brilliant.

Did you find it very difficult?

-Um, a little bit.

-A little bit.

Night, night, bean.

Night, night, Colin.

# Nap time, veggies

# Sleep tight, veggies

VEGGIES YAWN

# Just listen to my gentle tune

# Nap time, veggies

Night, night.

# Sleep tight, veggies

# You'll wake up and play soon. #
