Colin and the Giant Beanstalk 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 Compostarium

# 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 and 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 them 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.

-#

There...

Careful Colin!

Careful bean!

Oh Colin, that was close. You almost ran through my stickers!

Stickers?

Yes, I've been collecting these stickers for ages,

and now I can stick them into my sticker album.

Watch me fly, see me go! Captain Asparagus!

Raymond! Stop!

-Oh, help!

-Something's got me.

Ha-ha-ha-ha! It's all right, Raymond. It's just one of my stickers.

Oh, yeah!

But even the stickiest stickers can't stop Captain Asparagus!

Yay! Captain Asparagus!

Raymond! Come back with that sticker!

I need it for my collection.

Huh?

Colin and Compo play?

Colin plant bean!

Ha-ha.

Ha-ha. Planted bean!

RUMBLING

What? What that?

Ooh!

What? Huh?!

-WHISTLE BLOWS

-Ooh!

Hey, tiddlers!

Oh, am I glad to see you?! Could you lend us a hand?

Janet, can you fetch me that cloth?

Bring that glove to me, Oliver.

Daisy, can you see in that bush?

-There's a blanket. Can you rush it up to us?

-Yeah!

Thanks, Oliver.

Oh, dear me. What a morning!

Thank you very much.

I got this leaf off by accident.

Don't worry. Thank you very much, tiddlers.

Did you hear the wind last night?

-It was blowing a hoolie, wasn't it?

-It was.

-Wasn't it, Daisy?

It blew my washing all over the nursery.

Look at my beans!

Can you see what's happened?

It blew them over!

The wind has blown my beans over, hasn't it, Daisy?

I think we need to take a closer look! Come on!

Look what the wind has done to my beans!

It's blown them all over.

Now, do the beans like growing low, low down?

-Or, do they like growing high up?

-ALL: High up!

-Shall we pretend to be climbing beans?

-ALL: Yeah!

Let's see how high we can climb. We'll go higher, and higher.

Try and touch the sky! You can climb higher than that!

Keep climbing, Daisy!

Ooh, I'm getting a bit wobbly!

I'm too high! I'm wobbling over!

I've wobbled down!

-Have you fallen over, as well?

-No!

Oh, my goodness!

We're in a mess on the floor, aren't we?

In fact, we're just like my beans.

-Have you any ideas to help these beans?

-We could more water in.

Water would be nice, but won't help them stand up straight.

-Janet, what could we do to help these beanpoles?

-String.

Some string? Use it to tie them up together?

-Yeah.

-We could just stand them up.

If you put some string on, and put them together,

you could tie them around again.

That's a fantastic idea.

I think we need some supplies.

Eh, Compo. Do you think if shout loud enough,

we could get his attention?

-ALL: Yeah!

-That's nice and loud. Let's shout, "Compo!" after three.

One, two, three,

ALL: Compo!

PEEP! PEEP!

Compo! We've got a bit of beanpole emergency.

Have you got anything we could use to fix it?

Oh, he's got SOMETHING. What is it?

-Eh, what's this?

-ALL: String!

String! That'll do the job, won't it? Thanks, Compo!

Let's give these climbing beans the support they need!

Two hands , tiddlers! Two hands. That's it.

-Where shall I put the string?

-There.

-Here? OK.

-You tell me when the polls are all straight.

-Stop!

-Does it need to come to you at all, Janet?

-No!

-Is that straight, Daisy?

If you hold onto the bottom of a pole,

I'll tie the string.

This is the moment of truth.

-Do you think this will do the job?

-ALL: Yeah.

Compo, we've done with the string.

-That was fast!

-That was!

We've got these beans standing up again.

All supported, and ready for climbing!

-Shall we play that climbing game again?

-ALL: Yeah!

All right. But this time, let's play it with beanpoles.

You be the climbing bean, Daisy.

Oliver and Janet, we'll be beanpoles, and support her.

You support Daisy. Have you got her that side, Janet?

That's it. Are you feeling wobbly, Daisy?

I'm at the top!

You're at the top, and you're not wobbling.

Because we've given this climbing bean some support.

I think Compo's getting a bit hungry.

Must be all that string we've used. Follow me. It's feeding time.

# 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! #

TING! ALL: It's full! Hooray!

Stand back, tiddlers. Here goes Compo!

-Would you like to come and meet the veggies?

-ALL: Yeah!

-# 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, sirree

-# 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?

-# 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! #

ALL: Oh!

Goodness!

It's huge!

It certainly is!

All dry, tiddlers.

Oh my goodness, tiddlers. What on earth is going on over here?!

A beanstalk.

I think you're right, Janet.

It's like the story about Jack and the Beanstalk, isn't it?

That's right, Joan. Though I don't think there's a giant at the top.

Mr Bloom! My stickers have all gone!

Not all of them, Margaret.

At least this one's safe. I won't let it out of my sight.

That's not funny, Raymond.

All right, my little veggies. Let's calm down.

-Can you take that sticker off his forehead?

-Thank you, Janet.

Where did this beanstalk come from?

I had all my stickers laid out.

I was just about to put them in my album.

Then, what happened?

She left them there for a minute. When she came back...

They'd gone!

DAISY: It looked like a stickery beanstalk.

MARGARET: Oh! My stickers!

-Well done!

-Thank you!

But how are we going to get them down?

-MARGARET: Oh!

-That's a hard question.

-Could you gather them up?

-ALL: Yeah.

Can you reach them, tiddlers?

Well done, Daisy!

Well done, Oliver.

Well done, tiddlers.

I can see more even higher up!

Oh, yeah! Wow!

That's good, Margaret. You can do your stickering now.

-Yay!

-Can you help me stick them into the right places?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Ah!

Nice and neat. All done! DAISY: And the star.

Stickers are GREAT, because they're... Sticky! Ha-ha!

Make sure they're stuck down at the corners.

Look! There's still a space for one.

There's still one missing, Mr Bloom.

Let's have a look, tiddlers.

-Are you sure Margaret?

-I

-can't see it.

-Can you, tiddlers?

-ALL: Yeah.

Oh!

-How did it get all the way up there?

-It can fly!

Oh, yeah! Like Captain Asparagus! Ha-ha-ha!

Magic bean!

This isn't the time for magic tricks, Colin.

No! Magic bean!

What do you mean?

Compo give magic bean. Wheee! Plop!

Colin plant magic bean.

Pthwt-pthwt-pthwt.

Giant beanstalk bean grow. Wheee!

Oh, I get it.

-The beanstalk grew!

-And took all of Margaret's stickers with it!

Mr Bloom, can you reach that last sticker?

-Where is it, Daisy?

-There!

It's too high for me.

Climbing bean!

Whoa! Hang on, Colin.

It's nice you want to help Margaret,

but have you ever climbed a giant beanstalk before?

-Erm, no.

-You ARE just a bean.

THEY LAUGH

MARGARET: It's very brave of you to get my sticker.

It's a long way up, Colin.

-Do you think there's a giant at the top?

-I hope not!

I think Colin needs help to climb the giant beanstalk.

-Do you?

-BOTH: Yeah!

We should make a climbing rope for Colin.

Can you chaps find five of the nicest paperclips?

These are Colin's carabiners.

There we go, Colin. Are you ready?

-Ready bean! Ha-ha-ha!

-Come back safely, Colin.

You climb that beanstalk. We'll be here if you need... Good luck!

Tom! What's that over there?

It's only Colin bravely climbing a giant fast-growing beanstalk.

Thought so.

SNAP!

Colin, be careful!

Oh, no! I can't look!

JOAN: Oh!

COLIN: Scaredy bean!

Oh, no! I can't look!

-Remember how those beanpoles supported the beans?

-BOTH: Yeah.

Now, we have to support this beanstalk for Colin.

Come on over here!

Let's get supporting it!

-Have you got it?

-ALL: Yeah!

Wooh! Oh!

Don't worry, Colin!

You're safe!

Mr Bloom and the tiddlers are supporting the beanstalk.

-Thank you! OLIVER: You're welcome.

-Are you at the top yet?

Nearly! JOAN: He's going higher!

Keep going, Colin!

You're almost there!

-JOAN: Go on, Colin!

-Ooh!

Ha-ha-ha! Made it bean!

CHEERS

Oh, it's falling!

Don't worry. Raymond's got it.

I can't see!

Thank you. Coming down.

Ooh! Faraway bean!

Oh! Colin's stuck!

Why don't you tell him it'll be OK?

ALL: Colin, it'll be OK! COLIN: Thank you!

Colin, we'll count you down.

ALL: Three, two, one.

Oh, thank you!

ALL: Hooray!

Colin, you're safe! I was ever so worried.

Brave bean?

JOAN: Really brave bean.

Thank you SO much for getting my last sticker back.

Janet, can you stick it into my album, please?

-Yay!

-Thank you, Janet!

Well done.

You gave this little climber just the support he needed.

GIANT: Fee-Fie-Foe-Fum!

Argh! It's the giant!

Colin, he's coming to get you.

Run!

Ho-ho-ho! Your faces! Ha-ha!

Don't worry, Raymond. It's only a little joke. I couldn't resist.

Sebastian, you cheeky aubergine. How about a song?

You're right! It's time for a GIANT song and dance.

-When Colin went to the top.

I know. He was VERY brave.
