Raymond's Robot 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. #

Robot, fetch my stickers.

Wow, Raymond, I love your sparkly new robot.

Yeah, he's the best toy ever, Margaret. We're playing fetch.

Oh, thank you robot. You see, he fetches everything I ask for.

-Oh, can I have a go?

-Oh, definitely. My robot doesn't mind, do you, robot?

Look, that red light's started flashing.

Maybe he's trying to tell us something?

He must be trying to tell us how happy he is to help.

Well, I'm happy too, Mr Robot.

Now, what can my robot fetch for you?

-Oh, how about my hat?

-Coming right up!

Robot, fetch Margaret's hat.

Raymond's been playing with that robot all morning.

The poor thing's been busier than a bumblebee at a flower festival!

THEY LAUGH

The robot's being quite slow. Do you think you might be tired?

-Oh, don't be silly, Margaret, robots don't get tired.

-Oh.

-Look, Barbara.

-What is it?

-If you ask me,

Raymond's robot has turned into a slow-bot!

HE LAUGHS

WHISTLE BLOWS

-Oh, the tiddlers are coming.

-Yay!

SQUEAKING

What's that funny squeak?

Oh, it's gone.

It's not my wellies,

it's not my armpits either, I wonder what it is?

-SQUEAKING

-Oh, there it goes again.

Hello there, tiddlers. Now, who've we got today?

TJ, Isabel and Archie. Are you here to help me with some job?

-ALL: Yeah!

-Well, that's jolly good,

because there's always lots of job to do here.

You can start off by helping me find out

what's making this funny squeak.

WHEEL SQUEAKS

-Can you hear it?

-Yeah.

-There's a funny squeak. I don't know where it's coming from?

-The wheels!

-From the wheel!

-From the wheel? On my wheelbarrow?

-Yeah.

Tiddlers, you're so good at this.

It's my squeaky wheel, isn't it?

And that's my wheelbarrow giving me a warning sign,

it's telling me it wants some oil, isn't it?

WHISTLE BLOWS

Sounds like a Compo's got something for us.

-What have we got here?

-An oil can.

-An oil can, Archie. That's right.

It's good for oiling things. Now, TJ, can you take this for me?

That's it. Put your thumb up there.

Can you give my squeaky wheel a bit of an oil down there at the bottom?

That's it, right down on the nut. Very good, all right.

Let's see if that's done the trick, shall we?

Hey, well done, everybody, that's the problem solved.

-Wow, that's thirsty work, tiddlers. Shall we have a drink?

-Yes.

-Come on.

Do you think some of my vegetables and plants might be thirsty,

-it's quite hot, isn't it?

-Yeah.

Well, I guess we could always ask the plants, couldn't we,

if they're hot and thirsty?

Excuse me, Mrs Marigold, are you thirsty, by any chance?

Excuse me, Mrs Marigold.

ALL: No! That's silly.

No, plants can't speak, can they?

You need to look for the warning signs.

Just like my wheelbarrow gave us a warning sign

when it was going all squeaky, well, the plants,

when they get hot, they go all droopy, like this.

Can you lot go droopy?

We'll have our leaves up straight, and then we go a bit droopy.

Oh, no! And your leaves are all wibbly wobbly.

Well, now we know what droopiness looks like,

why don't we see if any plants or vegetables have got droopy leaves.

Because if they do, it means that they're thirsty.

Let's go!

They're OK.

These are all right.

Hey, tiddlers, come and look at these.

Wow, now, how do these carrots look to you?

They look droopy because they have no water.

Because they've got no water, yeah.

That droopiness is a definite warning sign to me.

-What do you think it means, Isabel?

-It needs water.

That's right. That's what they're trying to tell us.

-So, shall we give them a drink?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Using a watering can.

That's a good idea.

Come on, this way.

Hey, hey,

we've got some watering cans, Look. These will do the job.

Thanks, Compo. Here it comes.

Right, tiddlers, are you ready?

ALL: Yeah!

Then thirst-busters to the rescue!

Don't forget that one down there, TJ.

Wow, you're giving them a good drink.

Be sure, even though the leaves are droopy,

it's the roots that need the water.

You're very good there, Archie, have you thirst-busted before?

Well, I have been planting some tiny carrots before.

-You're giving them a good drink.

-These ones are going to get big.

That's brilliant, tiddlers.

-BELLS RING

-What's that, Compo?

I think he might be hungry.

You're bang on there, Archie.

Compo is giving me a warning sign of his own.

So, come on, let's feed him.

# 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!

Yay!

Eh, stand back, tiddlers, here it goes.

Right then, tiddlers, shall we go and meet the veggies?

-ALL: Yes!

-Come on, then.

-# 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! #

Robot, put away Margaret's hat.

Come on then, tiddlers, let's go see the veggies.

ALL: Yeah.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Hey, tiddlers, look at this. It's a robot.

-Yes, it's my new toy, Mr Bloom.

-Oh.

Oh, maybe he's broken. Oh, have I broken him. Oh dear.

There's a red light, Raymond.

Red lights are normally a bit of a warning sign, aren't they?

-Oh, maybe we could play with something else?

-No thanks, Margaret.

I think I just want to be on my own for a little while.

Oh, poor Raymond. He really loves his robot.

Mr Bloom, I've got an idea.

What is it, Joan?

Well, I was thinking, we could make Raymond another robot,

while we fix his old one.

That sounds like a good idea.

Well, I don't really fancy my chances of making a robot, Joan.

It looks very complicated and fiddly.

Oh, I could pretend to be a robot for Raymond to play with,

until his real robot is fixed.

Oh, that's a lovely idea, Joan. Don't you think, tiddlers?

ALL: Yes.

-Oh, but you don't look anything like a robot, Joan.

-That's true.

What do you think we could do about that, tiddlers?

We could dress her up like a robot.

We could dress her up like a robot.

That's a brilliant idea. We'll soon have Joan looking her robot best.

Will you all help to dress me up?

ALL: yeah.

I knew I could count on you lot. So, we best get cracking.

You tiddlers, go down there, sit at the table,

and I'll go and ask Compo if he's got anything for us.

Here we go, tiddlers. Everything we need to turn Joan into a robot.

Come on then, let's get to it.

Take those.

How are we getting on there? Are you all right, Archie?

There's another one for you, Archie.

Oh, this is looking fab.

I think we're done, tiddlers.

-Joan, we've got your costume ready.

-Oh, let's have a look.

-How do I look?

-Fantastic.

Just like a real robot.

Now, I just need to act like one.

Robots beep, don't they?

Beep-beep!

Can you beep, tiddlers, like a robot?

ALL: Beep-beep-beep-beep.

-That's good, tiddlers.

-Beep-beep-beep.

And how do robots move? Can you move like a robot?

That's it! Oh, yes, we're robots. We're robots.

Beep-beep-beep!

Oh, wow, Joan. You sound just like a real robot.

-Beep-beep.

-Raymond!

-We've found you a new robot to play with.

-Oh, really?

-Beep-beep-beep.

-Wow, you look just like a toy!

Robot, fetch green crayons.

Beep-beep-beep.

Oh, thank you, Mr Bloom. Thank you, tiddlers, this is brilliant!

-Beep-beep.

-Thank you, robot.

Those crayons are red, I asked for green crayons.

Well, red is a much nicer colour.

I don't think robots talk, Joan.

-And, they're supposed to do what they're told.

-Well, not this robot.

Oh, come on, Raymond. Joan is trying her best.

Oh, was it Joan all along?

Sorry, Joan... I mean, Miss Robot.

Robot, fetch paper, glue and sparkles.

Robot, fetch paper.

BUZZ!

-I think I've broken another one.

-I'm waiting for the magic word!

Oh, robot, fetch paper, glue and sparkles, please.

Ah, right! That's better. Well, I'll see what I can find.

Oh, I mean... Beep-beep-beep.

I think Joan might be a little while.

So, how about we have a look at the real robot?

Now, tiddlers, have you got any idea what that red light might mean?

It might have been a low battery.

Maybe Raymond's robot might have run out of batteries.

Oh, I didn't know that, TJ. Batteries?

Eh, I tell you what, tiddlers, I'll go and have a quick look, OK?

Hey, you're right, these batteries are flat.

But I know I've got some more of these somewhere.

-Oh, no. Not circle sparkles, I wanted stars.

-But you didn't say that.

I thought you'd know. Robot, fetch star sparkles, please.

I'm exhausted. No wonder your other robot stopped working.

Hey, hey, it's all right, Joan, you can have a rest now.

Oh, lovely. Thank you.

-Oh, but I'll have nothing to play with.

-Oh, yes you will. Look!

THEY GASP

Oi, you cheeky robot!

THEY LAUGH

Mr Robot's batteries needed changing, that's all.

-And now we've fixed it.

-Well done, both of you.

The red light was a warning sign that his batteries were running out.

Really? Let's see. Robot, fetch star sparkles, please.

ALL: Hooray!

-Oh, thank you, Mr Bloom, thank you, tiddlers.

-You're welcome.

Next time you see that red warning light, pay attention.

It's a warning that his batteries are running out.

Yes, I'll watch out for it from now on.

Thank you, robot.

Oh, thank you, Isabel.

Attention, attention, this is a warning for everyone,

Sebastian is about to sing.

Thanks for the warning, Sebastian.

All right, everybody, are you ready to sing and dance?

ALL: Yes!

Here we go.

# Out in the garden

# The plants gave us a sign

# That they were thirsty And we watered them just in time

# If there's a warning sign We'll pay attention

# 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

# So now you veggies must be bedded down

# For the night. #

Come on, Margaret, Colin, Raymond, Joan and Sebastian.

Eh, settle down, you cheeky Wee MacGregors, it's time for bed.

-Oh, I though your dancing was ever so good.

-Thank you.

What did you like best?

Making the costume.

-Thank you for making my lovely robot costume.

-You're welcome.

# Night-night, veggies

# Sleep tight, veggies

# And listen to

# My gentle tune

# Night-night, veggies

# Sleep tight, veggies

# We'll see you again soon. #
