Nathan, Zac and Josh: Grandad Comes to Visit Our Family

# Come and see

# All of our families

# They are different

# Just like you and me

# See how we

# Live together happily

# It's fun to be

# Part of our family

# Our family

# Our family. #

Whose family are we going to meet today?

It's brothers Josh, Zac and Nathan.

Nathan is five.

His younger brothers, twins Josh and Zac, are four.

They live with their mum and dad near a city.

It's a scary ride, isn't it?

I wonder what they're up to today.

Nathan, Josh and Zac are making paper giraffe puppets.

Ooh!

Puppets, not trumpets, boys!

Mum and dad are helping.

It can be flat or round, it's up to you.

Plenty of sticky tape for the long neck.

And a smaller roll of paper makes the head.

This is the beginning of your giraffe.

Coloured pens are perfect for putting patterns on.

My giraffe is going to be called Joshua the Giraffe.

Joshua the Giraffe!

Zac decides his is a different animal.

Mine looks a bit like an anteater.

An anteater!

-Wow!

-What name would you give to an anteater?

How about Steady?

Steady it is.

Because it eats it when it's steady.

Look at my ears.

Try and colour the ears not the table, Zac!

You need another ear now?

I've got mine, like, here.

The giraffe and anteater puppets are looking great.

I know, we could make a puppet show with this big giraffe.

How exciting!

Da da da, da da da!

The audience takes their seats,

ready for the big performance to begin.

Hello, everybody.

Welcome to our amazing show.

I am Mr Giraffe!

Hello, Mr Giraffe! Hello, Mr Giraffe!

Hello. My name is Steady.

Hello, anteater!

This show has songs, too.

# We like to fly

# In the sky

# I like to fly

# Up in the sky

# We like to fly, fly, up in the sky

# Up in the sky, up in the sky

# In the sky, we're up in the sky. #

So that's the end of our show.

Well done. We loved it.

Bravo! Take a bow, boys.

Today, Grandad is coming to visit the brothers.

They are drawing pictures for him as a surprise.

What are you doing?

Drawing a picture of me and Grandad going to the DVD shop.

Nice picture, Nathan.

Zac and Josh are both drawing monsters.

Mine has really sharp teeth and is trying to find some sharks to eat.

All of these are little flies and this is the big fly

and he's going to eat the flies.

Mine actually eats sharks and people.

But where are the eyes?

It hasn't got eyes.

It could have loads and loads and loads of mouths.

-It could.

-Yeah, but I only did one mouth.

Sometimes I do three teeth or four.

Three teeth or four?

Yeah.

Three teeth or four, in that mouth.

Our monsters don't need lots of teeth, do they, Zac?

Now I've really finished.

That's good, Nathan, because Grandad is here!

Boys, look at the window!

Nathan, come at the window!

Hello! How are you?

Are you pleased to see me?

I'm pleased to see you.

Nathan,

Zac and Josh are very happy to see Grandad and can't wait to show him

what they've drawn.

-Crazy man.

-Who's a crazy man?

-You.

-Hello, Nathan.

You're a crazy man.

Am I? Oh, this is lovely.

Ah, thank you, Nathan.

Look how many kisses.

Oh, hundreds of kisses.

Can I have a real kiss? Lovely. Thank you.

'I like Grandad because he takes me to the DVD shop.'

And it says 'DVD shop'.

Oh, I see. That's very good.

Show Grandad your sea monster, Josh.

This is the mouth.

-Yes?

-And this is the head poking out of the water.

But he hasn't got an eye.

-Where's his eye?

-I know, I'm not going to draw it...

-Oh, I see.

-..until tomorrow.

Oh, OK. Right.

Is that the right way up?

Or is it that way or is it that way?

No, it's this way.

Oh, I should've known that.

Zac's turn to show Grandad his sea monster.

Close your eyes.

Don't even peek.

-OK.

-Now you can open them.

Oh, that's very nice.

It's a monster. If it was next to a person it would be this teeny.

Oh, I see.

So that's a big one.

Grandad seems very pleased with the pictures.

Zac, you're going to put all the fruit that you've made into here.

Grandad is staying for dinner later

and the boys are making a fruit salad for pudding.

-That's it.

-That looks nice, Nathan.

Josh is separating tangerine segments.

Eww!

I'm going to try some bananas.

I did it.

I did all oranges in segments.

You did. Yes, it looks nice.

That looks cool.

It does, doesn't it?

All the fruit goes in one bowl.

-What is your favourite fruit?

-Orange.

Yeah, I have a favourite one. All of them.

My favourite fruit is banana.

What is your favourite fruit, Grandad?

-Pears.

-Pears are, yeah.

Sorry, Grandad, no pears today, but there's yummy kiwi fruit.

-Look at this!

-Look at that, yeah.

I think we've got enough now, then.

If you mix together the fruit then it will be finished.

Wow. That's it.

Make sure that's all mixed in.

-That's it. Well done, boys.

-Is it done?

What a delicious fruit salad.

I'll put it in the fridge and we'll have it after dinner, OK?

I can't wait.

Whilst dinner's cooking, it's playtime.

Grandad helps the boys build pretend machines.

What does yours do, Nathan?

First you pour water and then you spin it around for two days

and it becomes milk.

Amazing! Water into milk, Nathan!

Mine is a thing that makes water.

And mine is something that makes a volcano in your house.

-GRANDAD:

-Take that one out, Nathan. Put that one there.

Grandad's got a good idea.

We are going to build a tower right in the centre.

Let's see how high we go.

Put it there first. That's it.

Now, what's going to go on top of that?

And the machine just gets higher and higher.

Now, we've got this one.

Can you push that on?

-That's it.

-Mine is tall, isn't it?

It really is getting exciting.

Look at that! Is that as high as it will ever go

or have we got a bit more to go on there?

Got a bit more.

That's taller... No, that's not taller than Grandad.

That much more we need, Nathan, and then it will be taller than me.

It's called the Wobbly Jelly Tower.

Wobbly Jelly Tower?

That's a good name for that.

And mine is a skyscraper.

And now it's time to add the finishing touch.

Hey, how about that?

Now mine is a skyscraper.

Now, all together, we'll all blow and see what happens.

Oh! Try it again!

Ready, steady!

Watch out, down it comes!

Oh!

Oh, well, I'll be blowed!

And now they can build another.

It's dinner time and Grandad is the guest of honour.

Thank you.

It's pasta Bolognese, delicious!

-Oh, lovely, thank you.

-It's lovely to have Grandad over for dinner,

-isn't it?

-It's lovely being here.

Bon appetit.

Tuck in, everyone.

It should be cool now, Josh. Give it a try.

Zac, are you OK?

-It's nice, right?

-I do like it.

You do?

Zac, do you like courgettes?

No, I don't like them any more.

I used to, but now I don't.

-I love, love, love courgettes.

-You love, love, love courgettes?

I love it. I really love it.

I love them more than you two.

I mean, I love them more than you three.

But courgettes look like cucumbers.

That's because they're related to cucumbers.

Courgettes are like a cousin of cucumbers.

-A cousin of cucumbers.

-I know!

-Lovely!

Pasta finished,

now everyone can enjoy the boys' fruit salad.

That's OK for now, is it, Nathan?

Uh, yeah.

Boys, thank you so much for making this delicious fruit salad.

We were making it for you.

-MUM:

-Aw, thank you.

The fruit salad was a success and so was Grandad's visit.

Excellent! Thank you very much for making it.

-Very nice.

-It's OK.

Your pleasure.

I wonder who we're going to meet next time on Our Family?
