Plant Hunters Swashbuckle

# A band of naughty pirates

# Took some jewels from me

# I hid onboard their pirate ship

# And sailed off out to sea

# But they weren't watching where they went

# And shipwrecked on the sand

# I want to win my treasure back

# Will you give me a hand?

# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go

# Take on the pirates, yo-ho-ho!

ALL: # Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go

# Take on the pirates, go, go, go... #

-Will you help me win my treasure back?

-Yeah!

-Shall I make the pirates walk the plank?

-Yeah!

Well, let's hear you then, me hearties!

ALL: # Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go

# Take on the pirates, yo-ho-ho!

# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go

# Take on the pirates, go, go, go. #

Swashbuckle cheer!

AUDIENCE: Arrr-harrr!

CHEERING

Ahoy there, me hearties - welcome to Swashbuckle!

AUDIENCE: Arrr-harrr!

My name's Gem

and it's great to have you all aboard the Scarlet Squid.

Are you all ready for a rip-roaring pirate adventure?

AUDIENCE: Arrr-harrr!

Great! And will you help me win back my jewels

from those naughty pirates?

AUDIENCE: Yeah!

Brilliant. Now, where is Captain Sinker? Can you see her?

AUDIENCE: Boo!

Oh, there she is.

Oh, boo you!

I'm going to be rich and famous!

Rich and famous?

How are YOU going to do that?

I've been reading about the ancient plant hunters.

I shall be famous for being a brave explorer,

who sailed the seven seas in search of new plants!

I'm going to need some help, though. Cook! Line!

LAUGHTER

-BOTH:

-Yes, Captain Sinker, Sir? I mean, Ma'am!

I want you to become my new plant hunters!

-BOTH:

-Plant hunters?!

Yes! I want you to find me a plant that no-one has ever heard of,

something exotic, so I can sail it home

and be rewarded with fame and riches!

Now, go and get hunting!

Yay, plant hunting!

I'll get the net to capture the plants.

LAUGHTER

Something tells me they're not going to be very green fingered!

It's time to meet today's Swashbucklers.

Squawk, who are they?

Playing today,

we've got Rhea!

-CHEERING

-Rhea is seven,

and loves playing in the garden -

great practice for the pirate games!

Her Swashbuckle name is Starboard Rhea!

This is Duchess!

-CHEERING

-Duchess is also seven

and likes colouring in.

She'll know all the colours of the jewels.

Her Swashbuckle name is Cabin Girl Duchess!

Meet Isabel!

-CHEERING

-Isabel is six and has two pet dogs.

Let's hope she gives the pirates a RUFF ride today!

Her Swashbuckle name is Ferocious Isabel!

Finally, we've got Lewis!

-CHEERING

-Lewis is six years old

and enjoys playing on the trampoline.

Perhaps he'll bounce his way to a win!

His Swashbuckle name is Lagoon Lewis!

CHEERING

Yeah! Welcome aboard to my new team of fantastic Swashbucklers!

You're going to help me win back my jewels from Captain Sinker,

but I need to make sure you're ready

by doing the Swashbuckle Salute.

So, let me see you all marching.

Put your hands on your hearts.

Here we go!

# Eye patch

# Swashbuckle cheer. #

ALL: Arrr-harrr!

Well done. You are ready for the challenge.

So, Squawk, what do we have to do today?

You daring Swashbucklers need to work as a team,

as you take part in different pirate games.

Every time you win a game, Captain Sinker will give you

a jewel for your treasure chest.

Win all five jewels,

and one of the naughty pirates will walk the plank

into the ship's mess!

CHEERING

And this is our treasure chest.

So, when you win back my jewels from pesky Captain Sinker,

we'll pop them in here to keep them safe, OK?

AUDIENCE BOOS You won't win the jewels back!

The games are a big challenge.

We are ready for a big challenge, so bring it on, Sinker!

Squawk, what's the first game?

The first game is Stepping Stones.

The aim of the game is to build the palm tree.

All you have to do is cross the rock pool

to collect the pieces from the other side.

But be careful of Cook and Line,

because they'll be trying to block your path.

CHEERING

And here is the picture of the palm tree that you need to build, OK?

There are six pieces altogether,

way over the other side of the stepping stones, in those crates.

But watch out for Cook and Line, cos Cook is flinging fish

and Line is wearing barrels on his head?!

How is he going to see you? He's a silly pirate!

But they may make you fall in. So, if you do fall in,

you have to go back to the side you came from.

You have as long as it takes for the octopus to reach

out across the screen and close the treasure chest to play the game.

Duchess and Lewis, will you go first for me? Brilliant.

Are we ready to play?

AUDIENCE: Arrr-harrr!

Then, Swashbucklers, away!

Come on, everybody, let's help them out by cheering them on!

Let's go. Oh, they're good!

-Oh, no! Lewis is in!

-He's gone straight in!

Back this side, Lewis.

That's it. And off you go!

-We're going to get him again.

-He's good at jumping!

He's going...

Oh, no! He's in again!

Back this side, Lewis!

Back you go, Swashbuckler!

That's it. That's OK.

Just slow down, take your time. All right, you ready?

Off you go. Brilliant.

OK, Isabel, are you going to go next for me?

That's it, and when Lewis comes back, then it's your turn, Rhea.

Well done, we've got one piece. Well done, Duchess.

Perfect, the first piece in place. Well done.

Five more pieces we need to build this palm tree.

Drop some fish on them!

Argh! There's fish everywhere!

Keep going, Lewis! That's it.

Well done for bashing that barrel. Very good. Rhea, off you go.

Brilliant. And, Duchess, off you go.

Let's get the next piece on. Good work. Well done.

SCREAMING

Come on, you can do it!

Back you go! Right to the beginning!

That's it. Well done. Good work, Rhea.

That's it, Duchess, back this way.

Line, you can fling fish better than that!

We need you to go back, Duchess,

and get the top of the palm tree, OK?

Duchess, quick as you can!

-Well done.

-Come back, Swashbuckler!

We've got all the leaves, we just need this one piece of the trunk.

As quick as you can!

That's it!

Take it easy. Nice and easy.

-SQUAWK!

-That went over me!

Nearly there. Brilliant!

OK, quickly! We're coming up to the last ten seconds.

ALL: Ten, nine,

eight, seven, six...

That's it! Have you done it?

-Pop it in.

-..three, two...

Yes!

-Brilliant!

-SINKER: Oh, come on!

Fantastic teamwork.

Squawk, you've got the bird's eye view. Over to you.

What an action-packed game!

Lewis went straight in,

and then in again.

But he soon found his feet and got a piece back.

Naughty Line went for a mighty fish drop and Duchess fell in.

But there was no stopping great teamwork,

and the Swashbucklers worked together

to build the palm tree just in time!

It's a win!

-CHEERING

-Yes! Brilliant!

Well done, Swashbucklers!

You've won our first jewel.

So, Captain Sinker, you know the rule!

ALL: Send down a jewel!

SINKER: Oh, well, you were lucky this time!

CHEERING

Here comes the purple jewel.

Wow! There you go, Isabel. In the chest, please.

-CHEERING

-Yeah!

Great. We only need four more of those jewels,

then one of these naughty pirates will have to walk the plank.

Yes!

SPLAT!

AUDIENCE: Ewww!

I'm ready!

Have you found me a plant that no-one's ever heard of?

Have we found you a plant?!

-No.

-Well, kind of.

I found this.

It's a plant, but not yet.

A seed?!

I don't have time to grow a seed!

Right, the first one to find me a brand-new plant

can have an extra bedtime story...

BOTH: Yay!

..for next week,

and just one day.

Ooh, hello! Where did you come from?

Wow! That seed grew very quickly in that...slop!

Yucky! Anyway, enough of those plant hunters,

we want to play another game and root out another jewel.

So, Squawk, what's next?

The second game is Bouncy Sails!

The aim of this game is to fill all the holes

with the soft toy rats and mice.

All you have to do is bounce on the ship's sails

and pull the ropes to release the rodents.

Then your team-mates have to put them in the correct hole.

But be careful, Cook or Line will be bouncing, too,

and trying to stop you.

CHEERING

And these are the soft toy mice

and rats you need to find to play the game.

So, the little mice go into the little holes

and the big holes are for the big rats.

Over here I've got my bouncers, Duchess and Rhea.

Are you going to bounce for me? Excellent.

Here we've got Isabel - I'll give you that.

Lewis, there's a mouse.

You can collect them, rats and mice.

Look out for Cook and Line,

because they will try to put you off.

Look at Cook there, spinning around as an octopus. My goodness!

Are we ready to play?

AUDIENCE: Arrr-harrr!

Then, Swashbucklers, away!

There we go.

Right, watch out for Line.

He's going to try and bounce you.

That's it, big throws, Rhea.

Good girl. Well done, Duchess. Great.

There's lots of rats and mice over here.

Well done, Duchess. Brilliant, Rhea! Very good.

Right, we're doing very well. We've got to keep going.

Spin, Cook!

Good! Sweep them away.

Wheee!

Up you bounce. Well done. Whoa!

Cook is spinning me out of the way as well!

Great throw, Rhea.

Isabel, there's lots here.

Quick, whilst Cook has fallen over,

let's collect lots of these rats and mice.

Fish?! Where did this fish come from? We don't want fish.

-Here you go, Line, have your fish back.

-I'll have a fish.

-Swashbucklers everywhere.

-You're doing really well.

You've still got one, two, three, four...

..about 14 holes left to fill.

We're just over halfway.

Use the net, Cook!

He's got his net now. He's going to scoop them up.

That's it, as quick as you can. There you go.

We've got one minute left.

There's two rat holes to be filled, and lots more mice.

So we just need mice now.

We just need the mice now.

Three more to fill, two more to go.

We're nearly there. That's it.

We need two more mice, can we find them anywhere?

Oh, look, here you go, Isabel.

And the last one's in! Yeah!

Brilliant, well done!

Squawk, you've got the bird's eye view. Over to you.

Brilliant bouncing, Swashbucklers.

Rhea was quick to gather all the rats and mice she could carry.

And Duchess knew where to throw them.

Cook was always getting in the way

and used the net to sweep up the rodents.

But Lewis was filling the holes fast, till there were no holes left.

Great job. That's a win!

-CHEERING

-Yes!

Well done, Swashbucklers. You've won our second jewel.

That's fantastic. So, Captain Sinker, you know the rule.

ALL: Send down a jewel!

Oh, Gem, your jewel collection is growing too quickly!

-CHEERING

-Yeah, it is! Ha-ha!

Oh, great, it's the blue one.

There we go.

Lewis, in the chest, please.

Good work.

CHEERING

Right, I'm off to see if my crew have found me a rare

and exotic plant.

So, remind me why you're dressed as a flower?

I want my plant to think I'm its mummy when it grows up.

Seeds take weeks to grow, Line. You've only just planted that!

The captain is going to love my new plants.

I hope you've found me a rare and exotic plant to make me rich?

We have!

I have hunted far and wide

and discovered this!

Ta-da!

The extremely rare and never seen before

seaweed bush.

Oh, Cook, seaweed doesn't grow like this.

It is a weed of the sea.

Seaweed. Have you just stuck a load of seaweed on a bush?

-Yeah.

-Oh...

Erm, I've got something you might be interested in.

-You know that seed I had earlier?

-Just a minute, Line.

Now, Cook, you've got one more chance.

How am I going to be a rich, famous plant hunter

if you don't find me a new plant?

Money doesn't grow on trees, you know.

Aha, it does on the treasure tree!

Oh, Cook. Have you just stuck a load of coins on a twig?

Yeah.

This plant is growing rather quickly.

Whoa! Drop the anchor!

Why didn't you tell me about this?

I did! It's what my seed grew into.

Oh, it's beautiful!

I've never seen anything like it!

This will definitely make me a rich, famous plant hunter.

Er!

I'm the plant's mummy.

It only grows when I feed it.

Look.

LAUGHTER

Aw, That's nice.

Boys, this is it!

We shall call it the Sinker flower,

the most beautiful smelling flower in the...

Eurgh!

LAUGHTER Oh, that's disgusting!

Oh, what an earth have you been watering it with?

Slop.

That's not a Sinker flower,

that's a stinker flower!

LAUGHTER

I don't think it smells that bad.

LAUGHTER

All right, Swashbucklers, we still need to find three jewels

to make sure one of those pirates walks the plank.

So, to get us ready for the shipwreck rummage,

let's do the Swashbuckle Salute one more time!

Let me see you all marching.

Put your hands on your hearts.

Here we go!

# Eye patch!

ALL: # Eye patch!

# Pirate's hat!

ALL: # Pirate's hat! #

Swashbuckle cheer!

ALL: Arrr-harrr!

Yes!

AUDIENCE BOOS Well, I hope you're as bad at hunting

for jewels as Cook and Line are at hunting for plants!

It's the Shipwreck Rummage!

The aim of the game is to collect the rest of Gem's jewels

that have been hidden around the shipwreck.

Use the map, because X marks the spot

where each of the jewels can be found.

But be careful - Cook, Line and Captain Sinker have hidden the

jewels well and they must all be in the chest before the time runs out.

CHEERING

OK, me hearties, you need to find three of my jewels.

Let me show you where they're hiding.

Up on the top deck,

we have the white jewel in one of the bird's nests.

Then on the middle deck,

the red jewel is in the crates of rats and mice.

And down on the lower deck,

the green jewel is in the rope store.

So, Rhea and Duchess, you're going first.

-Which colour will you go for?

-White.

-Right at the top.

OK, are we ready to play?

-AUDIENCE: Arrr-harrr!

-Then, Swashbucklers, away!

Whoa! The fish are flying!

Duchess and Rhea are off and taking on the beach balls.

The girls are heading for the white jewel

in the bird's nest on the top deck.

Reach up, Rhea!

That's it, she's got the white jewel!

Come on down. They've got it. So, we've got the white one.

-Where next?

-Red!

-For the red one? OK.

Wait for them to come back.

-Come on, Duchess.

-That's the white safely home,

and Duchess is back.

So off run Lewis and Isabel

after the red in the crates of rats and mice.

Cook's trying to put them off, but they're great climbers!

Wait for me!

Oh, I think Isabel's lost her shoe.

It's stuck in the rigging, but it's not stopping her.

They're tipping out the crate and it worked.

They've found the red jewel!

They've got it!

So, girls, I need you to find the green one

in the rope store when they get back, OK?

Here comes Lewis. Where's Isabel?

Don't worry about your shoe - leave it and get back to the chest!

Well done, that's it, Lewis. Have you got the jewel? Pop it in.

Brilliant. That's it, good work!

Come on, as quick as you can!

Here's Isabel. That's it, slide!

That's it, off you go!

There's only the green jewel left to find.

Duchess and Rhea are already at the rope store,

but there's not much time left!

# I'm going to find it first! #

No, you're not!

Rhea has spotted it.

-Where is it?

-They've got the green jewel!

Bring it back, girls!

Quick, girls, get it back to the chest!

Come on, well done.

Into the chest! That's it!

-CHEERING

-Yeah!

Well done, Swashbucklers! Great work!

Squawk, you've got the bird's eye view. Over to you.

A spotless rummage.

Rhea and Duchess made a speedy climb to find the white.

Lewis brought back the red jewel when Isabel lost her shoe.

But the Swashbucklers kept going and Rhea quickly spotted the green.

All five jewels back in the chest,

so it's a win!

-CHEERING

-Yes!

Well done, me hearties. You've won back all five of my jewels.

Thank you so much.

Now I can share them out with you to hold on to for me.

-There you go, Rhea. And there's one for you there, Isabel.

-Thank you.

And then a red one for you there, Lewis.

-And a purple one for you, Duchess.

-Thank you.

And a blue one for me! Let's hear it for my Swashbucklers!

CHEERING

Now we've got all five of my jewels.

You know what it's time for?

One of these naughty pirates has to walk the plank.

But who is it going to be?

Duchess, let's spin the wheel to see. Off you go!

Big spin.

All right, is it going to be Cook with the white hat,

or Line with the red bandanna,

or Captain Sinker with the black hat?

It's going to be...

It's Captain Sinker!

CHEERING

Captain, it's time for you to...

ALL: Walk the plank!

Walk the plank!

-Walk the plank!

-There you go, right in there.

ALL: Walk the plank!

Walk the plank!

CHEERING

AUDIENCE: Ewwww!

Oh, Captain Sinker doesn't just have green fingers,

she's got a green head, green arms, green everything! Brilliant!

We'll see you next time for more Swashbuckle!

CHEERING

ALL: # Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go

# Take on the pirates, yo-ho-ho!

# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go

# Take on the pirates, yo-ho-ho!

# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go

# Take on the pirates, go, go, go! #

-Swashbuckle cheer!

-ALL: Arrr-harrr!
