# Treasure Champs! #

Hello there,

and welcome to Treasure Champs.

I'm very excited to tell you what

today's treasure is.

Wheee!

Ha. Sorry about that. You must be

wondering what today's treasure is.

Well, it's...

Wheeeee!

Sorry. As I was saying,

today's treasure is...

Wheeeeee!

It...

Wooooooooo!

Wheeeeee!

Barry, I'm trying really hard to say

what today's treasure is.

Oh, that's good, because it's

perseverance.

It means to try and try

and try again.

I know! That's exactly what

I've been trying to say.

Per...

It's written on the flag.

Perseverance.

# What, what, what, what,

what do you think

# What, what, what, what,

what do you say

# What does it mean?

What do you do?

# About this treasure

# It's over to you. #

perseverance means when you're

doing something challenging

but you're never giving up.

At first, when I started playing

the ukulele, it was quite difficult,

but when I went home and practised,

now I'm much better at it.

Perseverance is

when you keep trying to do something

until you get to the end.

I persevered with my swimming when

I was learning front crawl and

breaststroke, and now I can do it

really well.

Windsurfing looks like fun.

It is. Loads of fun!

Please, may I have a go?

Yeah, sure. Help yourself.

But careful, it's not easy.

It might take you a few goes to

get the hang of it.

Oh! Um... Hey!

I think I've got this...

Ah. That's better. I've got it now.

All right, Barry.

What's the secret to this?

There's no secret.

It's like a lot of things.

It just takes practice and

perseverance.

Perseverance. Right.

Try and try again.

Got it.

Oh, not again! Come on, Kari.

Get it together.

Come back!

Right, that's it! I give up!

Don't give up, Kari.

Remember - perseverance.

Keep trying and trying again

and you'll get there eventually.

It's all right for you.

You're good at this.

Kari, you've been getting

better with each go.

I don't feel I have.

Oh?

Then how come you're windsurfing

AND talking to me at the same time?

Oh, yeah! You're right!

I am getting better! Yay!

Perseverance is bri... O-o-o-o-oh!

Brilliant!

Are you all right?

I'm fine!

And you know what? The more I try,

the more I want to try

and try again.

Thanks for the encouragement, Barry.

Oh, I'm OK.

Let's hear a story about a

Treasure Champ who showed

perseverance and didn't give up.

Hello, I'm Jonah.

Have you ever been told that

if you can't sleep,

you should try counting

sheep in your head?

Well, imagine

what it's like being a shepherd

and having to count sheep for real.

Do you think it would send

you to sleep?

Let's try counting them.

One, two, three, four...

Are you feeling sleepy?

No. Me neither.

And it's a little bit too

noisy for sleeping.

Now, this story is about a shepherd

who persevered and didn't give up.

This shepherd was out counting his

100 sheep when he realised...

"97, 98, 99...

"Oh! Oh, no!

One of my sheep is missing!"

What did he shepherd do?

Did he say...

"Oh, well, I've got 99.

"That's good enough.

I think I'll go to bed."

No, he did not. He said...

"I will find that lost sheep, and I

won't rest until I do."

The fields were big

and the lost sheep was small.

This could have taken

a long time.

But the shepherd was determined,

and was not going to give up.

He looked everywhere.

The shepherd looked under things...

..and around things,

but no lost sheep,

so he kept on looking.

But then...

No. That was a goat.

The shepherd even went

to the top of a hill.

Surely he'd be able to see the

sheep from there!

Still no lost sheep.

But he didn't give up.

He persevered and kept on looking

everywhere he could think of...

..until eventually...

Hello!

So he brought the sheep home

and threw a party!

Yaaaaay!

Weren't those sheep lucky to have a

shepherd who persevered

and never gave up?

Thanks for helping me

tell today's treasure story.

It's a story from the Bible that

Jesus told.

See you again soon. Bye!

That shepherd was a true

Treasure Champ for persevering

like that.

Yahoo!

Hey, I love your sandcastle, Barry.

It's awesome!

Thanks. It took me

ages, and... Whoa! Look out!

Ah, sorry about that.

Oh, well, never mind.

I can always build another one.

While I do that,

let's see how good all you

Treasure Champs are at persevering.

# How, how do you do it?

# How, how, how, how,

how does it feel?

# How does it look?

What do you do?

# About this treasure

# It's over to you. #

My name is Sky and I am six.

This is my brother Jonah

and we both love skateboarding.

This is a skate park.

We come here all the time.

It's a great place to try out new

skateboarding stunts.

Before we do any skateboarding,

we need to make sure we're safe.

I wear this helmet to

protect my head.

I put pads on my knees

and pads on my elbows.

These will stop me hurting myself

if I fall off my skateboard.

Now I'm ready to go.

Today I'm practising my stunt.

I'm trying to do a Casper flip.

You're leaning forward and

then you might fall forward.

But if you lean in the middle,

you get...

like, you can land on the bolts.

And you have more balance.

Yeah.

This new stunt is tough,

and sometimes I want to give up,

but it's important to keep trying.

The more you practise,

the better you become.

Practice makes perfect.

Keep persevering.

You can do it!

It feels so good to do

something for the first time.

Hooray! Well done!

When I first started skating, I

couldn't do the Casper flip,

but now I can do it.

# Treasure Champs! #

It's time to get up. Good boy.

Hello, my name is Jacob

and I'm five.

Today is Saturday. I love weekends

because there's so much to do.

First I have my breakfast to get me

ready for a busy day.

Come on, Jacob. It is

breakfast time.

Shall we just check your bloods,

and then we can have your chocolate

pancake, can't we?

I have type I diabetes.

That means my body doesn't make

insulin.

Insulin helps my body get

energy from the food that I eat.

Before I eat, I prick my finger

and put the blood on this

little machine.

This lets me know

if I need to take insulin,

which will help my body get energy.

I take insulin by having an

injection.

There we go.

Now can I have my

pancake?

Yes.

OK, and here is your breakfast.

Oh!

Every weekend, my mum takes me

to my tennis lesson.

Go, Jacob. Let it bounce in and...

Fantastic! Let it bounce.

Two, right back to me.

There you go. Tap it over. Oh, yes!

After tennis, I'm really hungry,

so then it's time for lunch.

Before I eat my lunch,

I check my levels again.

It's not nice

checking my blood all the time,

but it's really important I do this

to make sure I stay healthy.

Some things are really important.

You have to do them even if you

don't want to.

That's right.

Some things don't get better or

easier, you just have to persevere.

We've had lunch and there's still

loads of the weekend left.

Even though I have diabetes,

it doesn't stop me

from doing the things I want to do.

I have to be careful, and I've got

grown-ups to help me make

sure I eat

and drink the right things.

Sometimes it's hard, but I know I

have to keep persevering every day.

Well, some brilliant

perseverance there!

I don't like to boast,

but I have persevered as well,

to rebuild this!

And I've been practising and

practising, so I can do this!

Phew! After all that windsurfing,

I feel a bit dizzy.

Who-o-o-oa!

Whoa!

Ooh!

Oops.

Sorry.

Ho-ho-ho!

Hee-hee-hee!

Don't worry, let's persevere

and build it again.

See you next time.

Goodbye!
