Whose family are we going to meet today?

Ottalie's!

Ottalie is four.

She lives on a farm

with her mum,

dad,

and little sister Imogen.

They've got two sheepdogs called Amy and Bella.

I wonder what they're up to today.

Ottalie and Imogen are waiting by the window for someone to arrive.

It is Ottalie's friend, Noah.

Noah!

-Noah, you've got...

-Hi, Noah!

Come on, then, in you come.

We're going to have lunch in the den.

-A den?

-Let's go.

They can build it in the garden.

The friends are using sticks to make the den.

-Mummy, this is very big, isn't it?

-Cor, that is a big one.

Noah, you've found a really big one too.

Let's lean them against each other to see whose is the biggest.

Mine is definitely.

Mum and Noah work on the roof.

We'll need a blanket here, so the rain doesn't come in.

Ready?

I'm going to get the horse blanket cos it's so fluffy.

We're just going to lay them on the floor.

That looks cosy, Ottalie.

Immy, do you want to come in our den?

And everyone is welcome.

OK, you ready for some food?

Dinner in the den?

How exciting!

Noah, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Not sure yet.

I want to be a farmer when I'm older

so I can help on the farm with Mummy and Daddy and Immy.

That sounds like fun, doesn't it?

Immy will be your age when you're big.

So what sort of things will you do on the farm

when you get older to help?

-Round up the sheep.

-Wow!

Ploughing crops.

Noah has a handy tip for Ottalie.

Do you know how you open crisps?

You have to pop them.

I like it!

I'll open them.

That's kind of you, Noah.

Ottalie wants to open her crisps all by herself.

I can't even open it.

SHE SCREAMS

-What was that, Noah?

-It was your crisps popping open.

SHE SCREAMS

It's the other side!

Make sure they don't all fall out, Ottalie!

I told you they would go bang!

Lunch eaten, time for a bit of outdoors art...

..with squeezy paint and sand.

I have an idea.

If we get sand and pop it on the paper,

next to this here...

-OK.

-..and then we mix it in.

OK.

Great idea, Noah.

Mummy, this is great yellow sand.

Whoa! Look at that.

Now all I need is some more colours.

That's quite a lot of different colours, Ottalie.

Yeah!

Really orange sand.

SHE GIGGLES

Noah is sticking with green.

It's going to be a sandy, handy picture.

Or a sandy, handy, splatty picture?

Splat, splat, splat, splat, splat.

Go, Noah.

-One...

-Two...

Uh-oh! Bare feet.

Getting messy.

SHE SCREAMS

Good job they're doing this outside.

Noah, it's slippery slidey!

Slippery slidey.

I'm going everywhere, Mummy.

And the paint's going everywhere, Ottalie.

It's OK. It washes off easily.

Picture finished, but what is it?

I think it really is a thunderstorm.

Look, there's the thunder

and those splats that I made are the lightning.

Ah! What a good idea. A big thunderstorm.

No, it's a big fairy party.

And where are the fairies?

There can be fairies and there can be a thunderstorm

with the fairies in their houses.

The fairies can have a thunderstorm party.

Fairies and thunderstorms.

Perfect teamwork, Ottalie and Noah.

Ottalie and her family are out for a walk in the woods.

I wonder what they'll see.

She's on the lookout for things to make a nature picture with.

Can you see anything?

I can't see anything.

Ottalie will have to go further into the woods

to find something for her picture.

Mum's spotted some little pine cones!

-Look. Can you see these ones?

-Yeah.

I think this branch is balancing on this tree.

If I pull it, it might come down, look.

There we go, look, a whole branch full of them.

Imogen's found one too.

They'll be great for Ottalie's nature picture.

A few other bits will make Ottalie's picture perfect.

Mummy, can we make something with this feather?

You can take the feather home, yeah.

There's more to explore in the woods.

Oh, I wonder what this hole is?

-Do you know what lives in a hole like that?

-Oh, look, a big hole.

-No.

-Badger sett.

Wow, badgers live in there.

I want to see a badger.

I don't think a badger will come out.

The badgers don't really come out during the day.

-Only in the night?

-Yeah.

-Come on, Daddy, let's go.

-Come on, then, let's go.

The sun is still shining, so they keep walking.

Oh, another hole.

I don't think an animal lives there, though.

This hole is for jumping across!

Now it's time for Daddy.

Careful. Not too close to the hole, Dad.

No, you need to do it.

-Oops!

-Oh, no!

SHE LAUGHS

Daddy's got stuck in a hole!

Now what do I do?

Just stand out on that bit.

-Shall we pull Daddy's arms and see if we can help him out?

-Yeah.

Heave!

Heave! Pull!

-Yay!

-Thank you.

What a lot of family fun they've had.

Ottalie's making her picture

with the nature things she found on her country walk.

I'm doing a tree.

So is that the trunk of the tree?

Yeah. I'm doing black leaves.

OK. That's a really good idea.

-Can I have some more sellotape, Mummy?

-OK. Ta-dah!

MUM SCREAMS

THEY LAUGH

What about these pine cones?

Where are all these little pine cones going to go?

I don't know where we can stick them.

-We could use some of this sticky glue.

-Lots of glue!

That'll make the tiny pine cones stick.

We could cover them in red to make roses.

Oh, yeah.

Mummy, it's spring.

So it's a combination of spring because flowers come up in spring.

Mum makes stems for the pine cone roses with pipe cleaners.

Oh, look at that, Otty, what do you think?

-Any good?

-Yeah.

What's the quickest way to paint a pine cone? Dip it!

Only two are going on there.

-Right, how is that, then?

-Good.

I'm going to draw us, because then there will be nobody...

Ah, you're going to draw us? That's a really good idea.

Mummy, it's you.

Oh, with my long hair.

Am I here on my own?

No, I'm going to draw us with Daddy.

Oh! A hole for Daddy to fall down!

Oh, quick, quick, quick, draw a hole.

Like a muddy hole.

That was funny, wasn't it?

It was very funny, Mummy.

There's the bit where he fell down.

Do you need to draw Daddy on top of it?

He's got hair!

THEY LAUGH

Daddy does need a haircut so that's fine.

His legs are there.

-It's all finished, Mummy.

-Perfect.

Well done, Ottalie.

A lovely picture to remember the family walk.

I wonder who we are going to meet next time on Our Family.
