0:00:59 > 0:01:02We'll be learning a silent super-skill - mime.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04I might find it tricky.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08We've got some fantastic facts for you all about transport.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Beep-beep!

0:01:42 > 0:01:43I'm Emily. I'm Davey.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46And we both like... TOGETHER: ..to sing!
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Today, we're going to write a song of our own.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51BOTH: Let's go!
0:01:51 > 0:01:54This is Kate, she's written lots of songs,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57including this one you might recognise.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59# Let's go!
0:01:59 > 0:02:01# The Let's Go Club. #
0:02:01 > 0:02:05So Kate's the perfect person to help us write a song of our own.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07# Let's go! #
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Hello, Davey. Hello, Emily. TOGETHER: Hello, Kate.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15What is the first thing you need to do when you write a song?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Well, the very first thing you need is a melody.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19What is a melody?
0:02:19 > 0:02:24Well, the melody is the bit that you find yourself humming all the time.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26It's the tune of the song.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28How can we find a melody for our song?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Well, the ideas for a melody can come from anywhere.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35You might be inspired by a person or a place that you visit.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39I know a really good place that we can go and find some inspiration.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Let's go!
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Kate is taking us to a forest.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46There are lots of things to see and hear.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Lots of things to inspire our song.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52We need to be thinking about melodies, so what can we hear?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Emily? Birds.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57So, let's listen to the birds.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00BIRDSONG Oh, listen to that bird there.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02It went... SHE IMITATES A BIRD
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Can you do that? BOTH: Do-do-do-do-do!
0:03:05 > 0:03:07We should have a bit of that, couldn't we?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09What do you think? That sounds great.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13The birds are making high, low and repeated sounds.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18So we're going to pull them all together and create our melody.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21So, now, we've got to think of some words for our song.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25I think I've got some. Have you? OK. Well, these words are called lyrics
0:03:25 > 0:03:28so what lyrics can we have for our song?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31# The trees are blowing and the birds are singing. #
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Brilliant, I love that. What about you, Davey?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36# The mud is splashing... # Yup.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38# And the ponds are streaming
0:03:38 > 0:03:41# The mud is icky, sticky and squishy. #
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Oh, yes.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53We've been doing a lot of walking today, haven't we? Yeah.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Have you noticed it's like a march so you...? Like this. Yeah.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Can you march like this?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02What words do you think we might be able to use, Emily?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Probably woodland walking!
0:04:05 > 0:04:08# Woodland walking Woodland walking
0:04:08 > 0:04:12# Woodland walking! Woodland walking
0:04:12 > 0:04:14# Woodland walking... #
0:04:14 > 0:04:19'Back at Kate's studio, we're finding rhythm for our songs.'
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Why does our song need a rhythm?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Well, the rhythm is there to drive the song along
0:04:25 > 0:04:29and some rhythms can be fast and some rhythms can be slow.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32We need to see which one will fit your song the best.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34So here's a fast one.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41And here's a slower one.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Which one do you think works best? Fast. Do you think so? Yeah.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55What do you think? Yeah, we think the fast.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Now we've found the rhythm, can we make the music? Absolutely.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06'I'm playing a stirring drum.'
0:05:06 > 0:05:09'And I'm playing the tambourine.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12'We've made the music for our song.'
0:05:12 > 0:05:15'So now it's time to record the lyrics.'
0:05:15 > 0:05:18# Woodland walking... #
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Yeah.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22# Woodland walking! #
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Fantastic work -
0:05:23 > 0:05:27you guys have written and recorded your own song.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Shall we have a listen? Yes!
0:05:29 > 0:05:33# The trees are blowing and the birds are singing
0:05:37 > 0:05:41# The mud is splashy and it's squelching and squishing
0:05:45 > 0:05:48# Woodland walking! #
0:05:53 > 0:05:55The Let's Go Club.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Let's go.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00What a catchy song and for more Woodland Walking,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02head over to the CBeebies website,
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Emily and Davey have made a great video for you guys to check out.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Let's Goers, it's time to welcome our silent super skiller
0:06:10 > 0:06:14to the clubhouse, Les Bubb, take it away!
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Yeah! Yeah! Whoo! Come on, guys. Let's go and meet Les.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04You guys go first. Hello. Can you teach us how to mime?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Sure! All it takes is a little bit of practice.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Tell you what, take a balloon from this box. Take a small one.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Now, hold them over your blue circle,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15there's a blue circle in front of you.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Now, what we are going to try and do is move your body
0:07:19 > 0:07:22whilst holding the balloons still.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23How much can you move?
0:07:23 > 0:07:27You can move all the way in, you can move all the way out,
0:07:27 > 0:07:29you can go to the side. Wow.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33The next thing is to put some effort into it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Now, have one foot behind the other like that
0:07:36 > 0:07:38and when you push, you tense your muscles
0:07:38 > 0:07:42and your muscles and your face...
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Push! And it's the same for pulling.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47You tense when you're pulling...
0:07:47 > 0:07:49and relax when you're not.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Looking good. Have you got any more tips?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53There's one magic tip.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Have one foot behind the other, when you're pushing,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59move all your weight onto the front foot
0:07:59 > 0:08:02so there's nothing in the back foot. You can lift it up.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Yes! Now you're putting all the effort...
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Yes. Look at the effort these guys are making,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11fantastic. Excellent! They're pulling too.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14When you pull, straighten your arms.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17That's it, have all the weight on this foot and none on that one.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Oh, I like this one.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21That's it.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Once more. Push, effort, relax.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28And pull, effort, relax.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29Guess what, guys?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33You're now all super skilled mime artists. Take a bow.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Whoo! Ta-da! Well done, well done.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38And you guys can have a go too!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Les, can you show me how? Oh, sure.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Oh, guys, can you see what he's doing? Look.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52ALL: He's going to the CBeebies website.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54You got it, you can go to the CBeebies website
0:08:54 > 0:08:56to see more of this super skill
0:08:56 > 0:08:59and learn more about the amazing Les Bubb.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04All right, guys, shall we have a little look at the send-ins? Yes!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Well, we've got a thumbs up from Les.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Let's see what you've been doing.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11The Let's Go Club.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Let's go!
0:09:12 > 0:09:17This week, lots of you Let's Goers have tried our squirty chalk.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Max has chalked his name.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Fizzing fun!
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Jasmine and Bob have squirted a flower picture.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Petal power.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28And Grace has made some pink squirty chalk.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Fizz-tastic!
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Let's Goer Ieuan has pet African land snails.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Wow!
0:09:35 > 0:09:39And he made this brilliant poster to tell his friends all about them.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42This is arty Lottie,
0:09:42 > 0:09:47she made gift boxes for her friends to say well done on starting school.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Let's Goer Justin drew this picture of London town.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52It looks great!
0:09:52 > 0:09:57Chloe is very excited about the Let's Go wristband she's made.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Welcome to the club, Chloe.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03And creative Macy made a marvellous memory box
0:10:03 > 0:10:05after seeing it on The Let's Go Club.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Beautiful!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Those were super send-ins.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12We're now going to have a go at some miming,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14so, Lily, why don't you go first?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17What do you think she's doing, Jessica? Cycling.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21She's cycling, isn't she? That was good guessing. OK, your turn.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Can you guess? What's she doing, Lily?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Playing football. She's playing football.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Oh, and what do you think Les is driving?
0:10:31 > 0:10:35BOTH: A bus! Shall we hop on? Yes! All aboard!
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Fact fans, today we're finding out all about transport.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Buses moving,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53ships cruising,
0:10:53 > 0:10:55chuffing trains,
0:10:55 > 0:10:56jumbo planes,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58walk to places,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00speedy skaters,
0:11:00 > 0:11:01helicopters hovering
0:11:01 > 0:11:03and motor cars motoring.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Strap yourself in and let's get to those facts.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11First up, traffic lights were used before cars were even invented.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Let's shed more light on this.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19The first traffic light was used outside the Houses of Parliament
0:11:19 > 0:11:23in London to tell horse-drawn carriages when to stop and to go.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26The only problem was that the light was powered by gas
0:11:26 > 0:11:28and eventually...
0:11:28 > 0:11:29it exploded!
0:11:29 > 0:11:34Wow, that fact just BLEW my mind.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Next, there's a type of mosquito
0:11:36 > 0:11:38that lives in the London Underground.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I think we need to dig deeper.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45The mosquitoes have set up home in the busy train tunnels
0:11:45 > 0:11:48because they like the warm and damp conditions underground.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52But mosquitoes aren't the only animals that call the Tube
0:11:52 > 0:11:56home sweet home. Mice, foxes and even tortoises
0:11:56 > 0:11:58are all deep down neighbours.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02It's hard to keep track of all those animals.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04All aboard!
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Next up, fact number three.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10The first explorers to travel by hot-air balloon were a sheep,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13a cockerel and a duck.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15No, I'm not quackers!
0:12:15 > 0:12:20This brave bunch went up, up and away in a balloon test flight
0:12:20 > 0:12:22that lasted ten minutes.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26A duck was chosen because it was used to flying high,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28a cockerel because it couldn't fly away
0:12:28 > 0:12:32and a sheep because it was the most like a person.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Now, that's un-BAA-lievable.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40And finally, there was once a traffic jam so long
0:12:40 > 0:12:43that people were stuck in it for 12 days.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Now, that's a hold-up you'd want to STEER clear of.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51This bumper-to-bumper gridlock happened in China
0:12:51 > 0:12:54because there were too many roadworks and lots of cars
0:12:54 > 0:12:56and lorries breaking down.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59People who lived nearby helped the stranded drivers
0:12:59 > 0:13:03by selling them food and drinks, a do-it-yourself drive-thru!
0:13:03 > 0:13:06I wonder if they sold TRAFFIC JAM sandwiches.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Facts!
0:13:09 > 0:13:10The Let's Go Club.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Let's Go!
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Wow, what fab facts!
0:13:15 > 0:13:20Before today's cool move, let's take a look at some of your send-ins.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Adventurous Let's Goer Edward
0:13:23 > 0:13:27definitely had a head for heights when he tried out climbing.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32Alexa's sunflower also likes to be up high, it's humongous.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Great growing, Alexa.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37More green-fingered growing from Iris
0:13:37 > 0:13:42who's collecting the seeds from her sunflower, ready to plant next year.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Hannah and Harris celebrated Eid al-Adha in their special clothes.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49You two look great.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53This is Evie who made this picture using shells and seaweed.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I WHALE-y love it.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Here's Orla trying out some handclapping.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02SHE CLAPS You've got rhythm.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Meet musical Let's Goer, Aaron.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08He's singing his very own song. # Let's go! #
0:14:08 > 0:14:11And here's Yusita, who has made her own microphone.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18# The Let's Go Club! # CHILDREN: Let's go!
0:14:18 > 0:14:21You know what? Your send-ins make me want to dance.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24So I'm going to show you today's cool move - the crisscross!
0:14:24 > 0:14:27And here's how you do it. Your first step is
0:14:27 > 0:14:30to cross our legs, and our arms,
0:14:30 > 0:14:31and lean to one side.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Then we uncross them
0:14:33 > 0:14:37and boogie for two beats. Three, four.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Then we cross our legs and arms and lean to the other side
0:14:41 > 0:14:46and then uncross them and dance for two beats. Three, four.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Criss...cross, three, four.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Criss...cross, three, four!
0:14:52 > 0:14:55If you find you're starting to master this move,
0:14:55 > 0:15:02what you can do is, when you criss, and then uncross them, you can turn.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Criss...cross, three, four.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Criss...cross, three, four.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Criss...cross, three, four.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Criss...cross, three, four.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16There you have it! To watch the crisscross,
