Today, we're having fun getting ready to go back to school.

We'll be recycling an old T-shirt

into a brilliant bag for all your stuff.

Let's Goers Rajan and Tamisha spend the day at circus school.

There's a new cool move to get you grooving - Happy Feet.

And an amazing alphabet song all about school, from A to Z.

Let's go!

Hi, I'm Tamisha.

Hi, I'm Rajan.

We're going to circus school.

-BOTH:

-Let's go!

We are going to learn how to do trapeze,

tightrope walking and acrobatics.

This is Ellie and Jonno.

They are circus experts.

They teach and perform hula hooping and acrobatics,

that are done high up in the air.

OK, Let's Goers, let's start with some stretches.

Brilliant. Well done.

-Who'd like to learn some trapeze and silks?

-We would!

-We would!

Nice grip and we do a big jump. One, two, three, jump.

'This is the static trapeze, which means you can't swing on it

'but you can still do lots of tricks.'

Good. Then hook your knees on the bar.

'I'm learning how to pike.'

Good.

'The pike is when you hang under the bar.

'It's important to have straight legs and pointed toes.'

Grab the ropes.

'I'm wearing long trousers and a long-sleeved top

'to stop the rope rubbing on my skin.'

Nice.

'This is called a star.'

Perfect.

'And this is called a gladiator.'

Hands off and big wave.

Perfect.

I'm going to have a go on the silks.

'Ellie has turned the silks into a hammock

'to make it easy for me to get on them.'

So you're... Let's find the middle.

You hold on to this bit.

A nice big jump and hook your leg in.

All the way up.

Good job. Reach across.

And we're going to do our star shape,

so hold on nice and tight. Stretch.

Can you do to straight legs and pointy toes?

That's so good. Well done.

I'm going to show you the stag.

We have to reach up really high with the stag.

That's it. Hold on tight.

Then leaning forward, one foot on your knee and smiling.

Beautiful, well done.

We're going to try the seat drop. Hold on tight,

jump the feet forward and land sitting down. Ready?

One, two, three. Hup!

Check out my upside-down star.

OK. Slide the bum off the front

and lift your legs all the way over your head, and reach for the floor.

That's great. Well done. Do straight legs and pointy toes again.

Good job!

Now we're going to learn the tightrope.

Let's go!

'When you are on the tightrope, you need to look straight ahead.'

Don't look down, Tamisha!

'I'm looking straight at the wall.'

DRUM ROLL Good.

CYMBAL CRASH Well done.

My go.

DRUM ROLL

Keep your arms out to balance.

-CYMBAL CRASH Well done.

-Nice work.

-Good stuff.

Now we're going to be doing some acrobatics and clowning.

'We are learning how to tumble and fall safely.'

Now we'll do some clowning.

So we'll try and make everything look like an accident or a surprise.

It's important to make sure we look after ourselves

and nobody gets hurt, OK?

'We are also learning how to use our body to be funny.

'Clowning looks easy,

'but is one of the hardest parts of being in the circus.

And then just going to turn.

'It takes a lot of practice and good timing.'

And fall backwards, and backwards roll.

Very good!

Now we're going to put it all together.

-Let's go!

Didn't Tamisha and Rajan do so well at circus school?

Terrific trapeze, guys, and super silks.

And it's time for some more moves now, of the cool kind.

Today's Cool Move is called Happy Feet,

and it goes a little like this.

We start by working on our footwork.

I'm going to lean on my toe with

this leg and my heel with this leg.

And then I'm going to switch -

heel-toe -

and switch again - heel-toe.

Heel-toe, heel-toe.

Let's take it out to the side.

Heel-toe, heel-toe.

Heel-toe, heel-toe.

But in between this,

I'm going to add a jump.

Heel-toe, jump together,

heel-toe, jump together.

Heel-toe, jump together,

heel-toe, jump together.

And that's it.

It's called Happy Feet

because it's impossible to do

without breaking into a big smile!

And if you want to

make your feet really happy,

you can jump out on both heels.

If you want to see this move again,

head to the CBeebies website.

You can give it a go later,

when we do the Club Dance.

OK, hands up if you like school.

Hands up if you like songs.

Hands up if you've got both your hands up!

Well, you're really going to love this, then.

Let's go!

Yes, Martin Dougan? Is there something you wanted to say?

Yes, Miss. I can actually say the alphabet backwards.

-Oh, can you?

-Yeah.

-"Alphabet the"!

-Ugh. THEY LAUGH

Oh, dear! Right, OK. Let's Goers, it's time to get making.

What have you got for us?

-ALL:

-T-shirts!

Yes, we're going to take these old T-shirts

and turn them into cool schoolbags.

All you need is an old T-shirt and some scissors, that's it.

First, turn your T-shirt inside out.

Can you do that for me, Nathan? Let's do it.

Once you've done that, flatten it out as much as you can -

we need to get rid of all those wrinkles. Good lad.

The next thing to do is take your scissors and cut around the arms

to make sure the back and front are the same.

Remember that scissors are sharp, so be careful.

-Shall we do that, girls?

-Yeah.

-Shall we cut that?

-Cut all the way round.

-That's it, all the way round.

There you go. One sleeve done.

When you've finished that, turn your T-shirt upside down

and then we'll cut some slits into the bottom.

-Do you want to have a go, Naila?

-Yeah.

The lines don't have to be tidy, just make sure they're long enough

so you can tie your little knots later on.

Now, the next stage is to tie all your little strips into a knot.

Nathan, can you tie a knot?

-No.

-No? I'm not very good at it either.

If you guys at home can't tie a knot,

why not get an adult to help you?

You have to take the strip from the front of your T-shirt

and then tie it with the same strip at the back.

And you have to do it all the way along. So get knotting!

When you've done all that knotting,

you can take your bag and turn it the right side out.

So all the fringy bits end up inside.

And there you have it - a bag, just like that.

The great thing about these bags is you can make a new one

each time your favourite T-shirt gets too small.

Grab a grown-up, head to the CBeebies website

and look for the Let's Go Club.

We love seeing the things you send in -

makes us feel all warm inside.

OK, Joanna, what's your favourite CBeebies show?

Apart from The Let's Go Club, of course.

Ooh! Do You Know?

No, that's why I was asking. It would be good to know.

Yeah - Do You Know?

Come on! No, I don't know! Are you guys play a trick on me?

No! Oh, tell him, Naila.

Do You Know? with Maddie!

Oh, of course! Well, you're in luck,

because it's time to hear from two more Club Reporters.

# The Let's Go Club. #

Let's go!

-I'm Noah.

-I'm Poppy.

And we're reporting from Do You Know?

Let's go!

-Ssh!

-Today, we're with Maddie,

and she's finding out how a playground works.

Like what helps us slide down a slide.

When you let go of something, it drops to the ground.

That's because of a force called gravity.

Gravity pulls everything downwards, even us.

So when Noah sets off from the top of the slide...

..it's gravity that pulls me down to the bottom.

Hello, Maddie. What have you been doing today?

Today, I've been trying out different types of swings

to find out how and why they move the way they do.

What's the best thing about finding out how stuff works?

I love collecting facts and sharing them with my friends,

and discovering new things.

But most of all, I like to have lots of fun.

Do you want to come and play? Yeah?

And that was our report from Do You Know?

Back to you in the Clubhouse.

# The Let's Go Club. #

Let's go!

It was info-mazing.
