Tidying Mr Bloom's Nursery

There is a place, not far from here,

I'm sure you know it, it's ever so near.

Come down the path, and you will see

a little gate to Mr Bloom's Nursery!

Hello!

# This is my allotment There's such a lot to see

# With my Composterium There is no place I'd rather be

# Have you been here before or not? Let me show you what I've got

# A spade, a fork, my wheelbarrow

# Cabbage, runner beans tomatoes and a marrow

# A watering can a trowel, some seeds

# Radish, lettuce, a couple of weeds

# With my veg and plants I can sing and dance

# See them sprout, watch 'em grow 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! #

-Bored Bean!

-Broad bean? No, Colin, you're a runner bean.

-Ha-ha! BORED Bean!

-Oh, you're bored. Well, don't worry,

the tiddlers will come and play with us soon, won't they, Compo?

There's lots we can do here in Mr Bloom's Nursery.

We could play dressing up. I love dressing up.

-Excited Bean! Excited Bean!

-Now, where's the dressing up box? Hmmm...

-Cowboy Squash!

-Well done, Colin, you've found it.

Yes, I could be a Cowboy Squash, couldn't I?

Oh-oh, Clown Squash!

Yeah, funny clown. Ha-ha.

-Racing driver Squash!

-Broom, broom, broom!

-Ladybird Squash!

-Oh, yes, yes.

-Sparkly Squash!

-Stop, Colin, stop!

Dressing up Bean!

Raymond?

Oh, Raymond!

MUFFLED SHOUTING

Oh, hide and seek Bean, yay!

-Hide and seek Bean!

-Colin! Colin!

Colin! Colin, I'm here. Oh, never mind.

Oh!

TOOT-TOOT!

Here come the tiddlers into Mr Bloom's Nursery.

Eh, hello!

Here's Sonny, Asha, Molly and Anya. It's nice to see you.

Welcome to my carrot patch. I feel like eating some carrots.

-Does that sound nice?

-Yes.

-Yeah!

All right, Sonny, can you grab that bucket there?

Hold it up, and you get ready for a big harvest

of nice juicy, crunchy carrots! What colour are carrots?

-Orange.

-Right. What do you think we should do with these

carrots when we pick them? Carrot soup?

We could have carrot soup for lunch, couldn't we?

How are all these carrots coming along?

-There isn't any carrots in there.

-Ah!

Jumping junipers, you're right. Where have all me carrots gone?

-Have I pulled up any carrots?

-No!

-Last time I looked,

I had a nice row of carrots and now these stragglers have appeared.

-What are they?

-ALL: Weeds!

Weeds, of course. I do a really good impression of a weed.

Would you like to see it?

"I'm a weed!"

Do I look like a weed? "I'm a weed!"

You look funny.

Oh! Well, do you think you can do a weed impression?

ALL: I'm a weed!

I'm a weed!

I will destroy the carrots!

We're weeds!

We've got a problem here, because the weeds look like carrots,

and the carrots look like weeds. How can we tell the difference?

COMPOSTARIUM RATTLES

I think my Compostarium's got an idea. Shall we look?

Come on, come this way. Let's go.

I think Compo's got something for us. Shall we take a look?

-ALL: Yeah!

-All right.

Ah! Look, here's some pictures. There's a picture of a carrot

and a picture of a weed. How can you tell the difference

by looking at them?

That one's got loads of these and that one hardly has.

-That one's really messy.

-And it hasn't got a carrot!

That's right, the carrot looks quite tall and nice,

-but the weed looks messy.

-And ugly.

-These cards have given me an idea. Would you like to play a game?

-Yeah!

All right. Here's what the game's called - Weed Or Carrot?

Yay!

Asha, you going to go first? Here are the pictures.

One of a carrot, one of a weed. See if you can find a weed in here.

Pull it up.

Yes!

She got a weed. Well done, Asha.

Let's pop it in the bucket, shall we? Very good work. Who's next?

Anya? OK, choose carefully. Make sure it's a weed, not a carrot.

On you go.

Ah! Good find.

Well done. That's a tall one, isn't it? Very good.

Oh, another weed bites the dust.

It's not big, but that doesn't matter, cos every weed counts.

I tell you what, that is excellent work, my speedy weeders.

Look at the carrot patch, it's all tidied up now.

And I know how to find my carrots, cos if you keep things tidy,

you'll always find what you're looking for.

-CHIMES

-Oh! My Compostarium's hungry.

Why don't we go and feed him these weeds? Nothing goes to waste here.

Then maybe we can find some other things to feed him too. Let's go!

# 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 board crumbs

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

# My awesome Compostarium. #

It's full!

Stand back, tiddlers. Here it goes...

Shall we go and meet the veggies?

Come on.

-# Meet the veggies

-We're the veggies

# They grow here in my nursery

-# Meet the veggies

-We're the veggies

# Now who've we got today? Let's see

-# There's Margaret the cabbage #

-Peep-oh!

-# Raymond the squash #

-I love cuddles, you know

# And Sebastian's a singing aubergine

# La-la-la-la mi-mi-mi-mi-mi. #

Nice!

# Meet the veggies

# We're the veggies

# They grow here in my nursery Meet the veggies

# We're the veggies

# And that's not all Oh, no, siree

-# There's Colin the runner bean

-I'm speedy

# The Wee MacGregors Oh, so cheeky!

# And I'm a beautiful fennel called Joan

# Hello, my dear Haven't you grown?

# Don't forget the onions Potatoes and peas

# Cos we provide the harmonies

-# Meet the veggies

-We're the veggies

# Oh, they grow here in my nursery

-# Meet the veggies

-We're the veggies

# And we love Mr Bloom

# That's me! #

Right, tiddlers, let's go in.

Oh dear, look at all this mess. There's paper and boxes everywhere.

Hello, tiddlers.

Where's all this mess come from?

We've been playing and doing dressing up and just playing.

Messy bean!

There's paper, there's boxes and look, clothes all over the place!

Play bean!

Would you like to play princes and princesses?

Oh! Princes and princesses?!

A wonderful idea.

Hey, but don't you normally play that with Joan?

Well, Joan is sad, because she can't find her tiara.

-Oh dear.

-That's really sad.

-Yes, very sad.

Tanya, do you know what a tiara is?

It's something that a queen wears, a princess wears, and a bride wears.

Yeah, it's a beautiful, sparkly princess crown.

Oh-ho! I expect she's not very happy about losing that!

She can't be a princess without it, so she's very upset.

Oh...

Come on, tiddlers. Let's go and see Joan.

TIDDLERS: Hello, Joan!

Hello, tiddlers.

Hey, Joan, you're looking very snazzy today!

Well, thank you, Mr Bloom.

I'd rather be wearing me tiara, but it's such a mess in here!

I can't find it. I'm trying to tidy up.

Raymond won't help and Colin's lost his scooter.

-Scooter bean!

-Everything is so messy.

I'm trying to tidy up, but now my leaves are all dirty

and nobody cares about the mess but me!

Oh dear! I think somebody needs a cuddle.

Hey, Asha, could you give Joan a lovely big cuddle?

It doesn't matter, Joan.

Aw!

That's a lovely big cuddle! Are you feeling better?

Ah, yes. Much better, thank you.

But I still miss my tiara.

Oh... Have you ever lost anything?

Yes, I've lost lots of things. I've lost a hat and my dice.

How did you find them?

Because my room's a big mess, I tidied it and there it was.

-Oh!

-Now I tell you what, Joan,

how about we ALL help you to tidy up?

-Really?

-Mm-hm.

Will everybody help?

-Yes.

-Oh! Do you think Colin and Raymond will help?

I think Colin and Raymond just need a bit of encouragement.

-Yeah.

-Molly and Sonny, could you ask Raymond and Colin to help us?

-Yes.

Go on then. Off you pop.

Oh, hello.

-Will you help us tidy up?

-I wanted to play princes and princesses.

No tidy bean! Look for scooter bean!

-Why should we tidy up?

-If you don't, you won't be able to find things.

-Oh!

-That's true. Maybe that's why we can't find your scooter.

-Oh, yeah, yeah!

-Shall we tidy up then?

Yeah.

-We all help!

-We'll pick up this paper and all the boxes

-and make it tidy.

-Yeah.

Aw, well done! That's the spirit!

And let's see if Compo can help us too.

TOOT-TOOT!

Oh!

We've got some lovely pinnies.

-What colour, Sonny?

-Green, please.

-I'll have that one.

-This one?

Shall we put that on, Asha?

Very good!

Will these pinnies help us tidy up?

-TIDDLERS: Yeah.

-They'll keep us clean, won't they?

-Yeah.

-Righty-oh.

Let's get tidying!

-Asha?

-Yeah?

-What are you doing?

-I'm tidying these boxes.

-Ah!

-Hello, Anya.

-Hello, Mr Bloom.

-How are you getting on?

-Fine, thank you.

-There's a lot to tidy, isn't there?

-Asha?

-Yeah?

-I'm really sorry we made so much mess.

-That's OK.

Everything's so untidy!

Is this looking tidy, Joan?

Yes, it is!

Thank you very much!

With all this tidying, the nursery will be spic and span in no time.

Oh-ho! This'll do the trick. Compo's special sucker-upper!

HOOVER DRONES

HOOVER WHIRS AND STOPS

Uh-oh! Mr Bloom, I think you broke it!

Oh, dear! Tiddlers, come gather round!

Let's take a look at this. Hmm. I think there's something stuck.

-What's this?

-It's Colin's scooter!

Oh-ho! You're right! It's Colin's scooter!

Colin, we found your scooter!

Oh, scooter! Scooter bean! Thank you, Mr Bloom!

-It's going to make you a happy bean, isn't it?

-Yeah, yeah!

We found it while we were Hoovering up.

Scooter bean!

I suppose it just goes to show, that if you keep things tidy,

you can find what you're looking for.

Oh, now can we play princes and princesses, please?

Oh, I suppose so. But I still can't find my tiara.

Oh, well, you can wear my crown, if you like.

Thank you, Raymond! But what are you going to wear?

I'll wear that shiny, metal thing there.

-This one?

-Can you put it on me?

-Oh!

-Oh!

-What's this?

ALL: It's a tiara!

-My tiara?

-That's right.

-Hoorah!

Shall I come and put it on?

-Yes, please, Mr Bloom!

-Here we go.

-On it goes.

-Lovely!

Oh, thank you, thank you thank you!

-You look brilliant.

-Thank you!

-You look beautiful.

-"Beautiful". I am beautiful!

That's true. Your tiara, Joan, it looks lovely.

"Joan"? Who is this Joan?

My name is Princess Zsa-Zsa Fenella Compostium.

And this here, is my prince.

Yes, Prince Raymondo Orangio Compost-Bottom.

Oh! Compostium!

Oh, Compostium. He-he.

POSH: Well, I'm very, very honoured to meet you both.

And I very much like your castle.

Oh, hmm, ya.

Ya, we had it built so we could look upon our super-tidy kingdom.

-Didn't we, Prince Raymondo? What, what, what?

-Oh, yeah.

Yes, we did. Yes, it is super tidy, what, what, what?

I suggest we give this prince and princess a lovely curtsy and bow.

-Yes!

-Come on, then.

-Oh, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya.

-Oh, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya.

What, what, what, what? BUGLE FANFARE

Ho-ho, Sebastian!

That's perfect timing.

Here, Sebastian, are you a clean and tidy aubergine?

But, of course, Mr Bloom,

especially now that I have found my bugle.

I think it is time for a song, don't you think?

For all the princes and princesses of the nursery, I think?

Une, deux, trois, quatre...

# A good old tidy up is what every garden needs

# Before it gets too hard to tell the carrots from the weeds!
