To Mr Bloom's Nursery!

Hello!

# Pop along and say hello

# There's so much they can teach us all

# We'll laugh and learn We'll have a ball

# It's such a special place to be

# In my veggie nursery. #

Mr Bloom's allotment looks lovely today.

The tiddlers are so lucky to be able to play in it.

Compo, you will let us know when they're coming?

JANGLES AND WHISTLES

Thank you so much!

And when they come, Mr Bloom can have his mug back.

Achoo! Oh! Sneezy me! Hee hee!

Oh, yes! I forgot about me flowers.

I need to put them in some water.

-Could you help me find something to put them in?

-Ah! Finding bean!

I don't have a vase, but something the right size will be fine.

Ta-da!

Er, Colin, I think that egg cup is too small to put the flowers in.

Er, maybe you could find something bigger?

Finding bean!

It doesn't matter what it is, because the flowers are so beautiful,

everyone will be looking at THEM.

-BOTH:

-Ta-da!

Oh, thanks for your help,

but that bucket is way too big for the flowers.

Oh. Right.

I need something bigger than an egg cup, smaller than a bucket,

about the size of...

Er...that mug?

Yeah, that mug.

-Hmm.

-Ooh!

Yes! Oh ho ho! That'll fit perfectly. That's just the right size.

Thank you, Raymond. JANGLING AND WHISTLING

Oh! The tiddlers are here!

Oh!

Mr Bloom's having a really big stretch.

Eh! It's Serena, Dasha and Jaya!

It's nice to see you. Ho ho!

-Hey - are you feeling strong today?

-Yes!

-No!

I bet you are, Dasha. Let's see your muscles! Wow!

I only ask because today we're doing lots of digging.

This soil needs digging up. I want to plant potatoes, but it's

too hard. What do you think we could use?

Forks or even shovels.

Well, look what Compo gave us this morning.

Compo, he gave me these forks.

Before we start, I'll give you a master class in digging,

because we have to be careful with them. You guide it into the soil,

give it a push with your welly, then you wiggle it around,

and turn over the soil. Got that?

-Yeah!

-Brilliant! Let's get to it.

That's for you, Serena. You hold onto that one.

-And this one's for you, Dasha.

-Thank you, Mr Bloom!

-And this one is for you, Jaya.

-Thank you, Mr Bloom.

Let's get down to work, then!

-Are you all right there?

-Yeah.

-It's hard!

-Oh, my God!

-Is it hard?

-Yeah!

-Are you all right, Serena?

-I can't get it up!

-That fork looks like it's a bit difficult to use, Dasha.

-It is!

-Are they too big?

-Yeah.

I think you're right.

Those forks are the wrong size for tiddlers.

Not to worry. Maybe we could go and see

if the Compostarium's got some more. Come on!

Smaller forks, please, Compo.

Here we go.

Bees knees! What are these?

-These are not the right forks.

-Oh!

-They're forks!

-Can we do the digging with these?

-They're not gardening forks.

-Why?

They're for eating with, they're too small.

-These are the wrong size.

-You put them in your mouth to eat with.

Well, not to worry. I think what we should do is we should tell Compo

how old you are, then maybe you'll get a fork that's the right size.

Serena, you say your name and how old you are

into the Compostarium.

My name is Serena and I'm three years old.

Very good. Your turn, Dasha.

-I'm Dasha and I'm six years old.

-Now you, Jaya.

I'm Jaya and I'm six years old.

Right, let's see what it's got.

Oh-ho!

Look at these. These forks are more like it, aren't they?

-Yeah.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Are they the right size for you?

-Yes.

They're smaller and they don't feel heavier.

-Will they be easier to use?

-Yeah.

-Let's try them out, come on.

That's it.

Digging into the ground.

-Oh, my T-shirt!

-Oh, dear!

-Are these forks making the job easier?

-Yes.

-Yeah?

You guys are brilliant gardeners.

Well done, tiddlers. We've turned over all this soil,

so now I can plant my potatoes. I don't know about you,

but after all that digging, I want my lunch. Here it is.

Look, a lovely bowl of pasta.

-What do you think, shall I eat it with this fork?

-No!

-No?

-Why not?

-Because it's digging the ground, to garden with!

-You need those little ones you showed us earlier.

-Is it too big?

-Yes!

-Maybe you could tell me the right fork for the job.

-Is it this one, or is it this one? That one?

-Yeah.

All right. Let's use this one to have my lunch. Ooh!

-Compo's hungry.

-Oh! I think Compo's hungry as well.

GURGLING

This will have to wait. Come on, we've got to get him fed.

# 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 bits, sappy bits

# Yesterday's yums Chopping crumbs

# It's not fussy what's in its tum. #

My awesome Compostarium!

ALL: It's full!

All right, tiddlers, let's see what happens.

-Come on, let's go meet the veggies.

-Yay!

-# Meet the veggies

# That's me. #

# Here we go, here we go Here we go. #

Are your hands all dried? That's good. Come on then.

Let's go in. Look, there's Raymond. Let's go and say hello.

-Mr Bloom!

-RAYMOND CHUCKLES

That's a nice cuddle. You're getting to be a big squash, aren't you?

-Hello, tiddlers.

-GIRLS: Hello, Raymond.

I'm glad you're all here. I've got something exciting to tell you.

Oh! What's that then?

Erm... Oh! Oh, yes, I'm playing football with the Wee MacGregors.

-Please come and watch me.

-Tiddlers, do you think Raymond's a bit big

-to be playing football with the Wee MacGregors?

-Yeah.

-The ball might be too tiny.

-Yeah. What might happen, Serena?

-He might pop the ball.

-He might pop it?

-Mm-hm.

-Oh, dear.

-Their football is a bit small,

but I really want to play. Come on, they're waiting.

All right, Raymond, slow down!

Oh, dear. Come on, tiddlers, let's catch up with him.

ALL: MacGregor! MacGregor! MacGregor! MacGregor!

Right, here I go for my big kick at the goal.

Just like Marrowdona.

Ha ha! Wish me luck!

Have you got the ball?

-Er, no. No!

-I thought you'd got it.

ALL CHATTER

Well that's odd. We had it earlier.

Raymond?

BANG! BALL DEFLATES

ALL: Ooh!

-Whoops!

-THEY SHOUT IN ALARM

Oh, I'm sorry!

Raymond, you've burst their ball!

I'm sorry.

I'm such a big silly squash!

Oh!

Oh, dear. Dasha, Jaya, can you go and take Raymond

and take him somewhere else to play? Serena, you and I

-I think we'd better take care of these Wee MacGregors, OK?

-Yeah.

Oh. Sorry.

-Come on, Raymond.

-THEY CHATTER WORRIEDLY

I'll try and blow it up. Why don't you give the MacGregor a hug

and a kiss. I think he needs it!

Oh, I'm really sad now.

I didn't mean to burst it.

-We know it was an accident.

-It was an accident.

Oh, dear!

It was only by accident.

I'm sorry, MacGregors, I think it's flat.

-THEY CHATTER WORRIEDLY

-Quick, give them a cuddle!

Ah.

It's the Wee MacGregors' football, you've grown out of it

and it's not the right size.

Am I too big to play with the Wee MacGregors?

-BOTH: Yeah.

-Oh, dear.

But you could get a football the right size as you.

I don't think we've got a football my size.

Hi, Raymond!

-Hmm.

-JAYA:

-Raymond, what?

-Colin is calling you.

-Oh.

-Sad, Raymond?

-Yes, I'm still feeling a bit sad, Colin.

Ah. Play, Raymond?

-Am I the right size to play with Colin?

-BOTH: Yes.

Can I go then, please? I'll play with him.

I'm coming, Colin. I'm coming!

Yeah! Aha!

Seesaw bean!

Here I come to play!

Whee!

Whee!

-Whoo!

-THEY GASP

Aha!

Ah!

Oh!

Oh, no! Colin! What have I done?

-What's the matter?

-Colin jumped on the seesaw then Raymond jumped on.

-Then Colin went flying!

-Oh, dear!

I'm such a big silly squash!

And a really bad friend to Colin.

Oh, Raymond.

You are a wonderful friend to Colin. You're just...the wrong size

for the games you're playing, that's all.

But I only wanted to play!

And you can. You just need to be careful and make sure

you're the right size for the game.

I know! Sorry!

-Can I have another big hug now?

-Yep.

Ohhh...that's a lovely big hug.

Nice.

Hello, everyone! Hate to interrupt, but Colin's stuck!

Oh! Oh!

Colin! It's OK, Colin!

I'm coming! I'm coming!

Don't look down, Colin. It will be all right.

Ahhhh! Scary!

Raymond, thank goodness! I'm too small to reach Colin.

You've got to save him!

Colin, I'm coming to save you!

Ah!

THEY CHEER

Rescued bean!

ALL CHEER

Oh, Raymond! That was brilliant!

-You're not a big silly squash.

-No?

-No!

You were just the right size for that job!

-You're so clever!

-He he!

Safe bean!

-JANGLING AND WHISTLING

-Oh!

Oh, sounds like Compo's making something.

Jaya, can you go and see what it is?

Oh!

Oooh!

Look! I think this is for Raymond!

-Let me see!

-Shall we see what's in there?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

You're going to love this, Raymond. Ta-da!

It's a football! And it's just the right size for ME!

Come on, let's have a game!

Yeah, goal!

ALL CHEER

Sebastian! Do you know any good football songs?

Of course I do, Mr Bloom. Are you ready?

# Here we go, here we go

Ah, how about our usual song? OK. Hit it!

Come on, Margaret.

Colin, Raymond, Joan and Sebastian.

Eh, settle down, you cheeky Wee MacGregors.

It's time for bed.

Night-night, Serena.

-Mwah!

-Ah!

-You've been very brave today, Raymond.

-I was just the right size

to rescue Colin.

Night-night.

Night-night, veggies!

Sleep tight, veggies.

# And listen to my gentle tune

# Night-night, veggies

# Sleep tight, veggies

# We'll see you again soon. # Shhh!

THEY SNORE
