Mario, Hamza and Anushka: Hamza Makes a Kite Where in the World?

# Where, where, where in the world?

# Where, where, where shall we go?

# Time for a trip

# Away we go

# Over mountains and oceans, sunshine and snow

# Discover new places, make friends on the way

# So where in the world shall we visit today?

# Where, where, where in the world?

# Where, where, where shall we go today? #

Where shall we go and who shall we see?

Let's visit Mario, in Italy.

It's Mario's dad's birthday,

and so brother, Salvo, sister, Nicole,

and Mario are all making presents for him.

Mario really wants to write a letter to his dad, and he's using the

internet to find a poem.

-TRANSLATION:

-What's this?

-This one's nice.

Let's have a look.

"There is no other dad in the world as good as mine."

Do you like that one?

No.

There must be one that's more beautiful.

Hold on, let's have a look.

This one could be good.

OK, sheet of paper.

Great, Mario, now you've found the

poem, you can copy it into your letter!

Oh, I made a mistake and I can't correct it any more!

Cover it up with a sticker.

A star? This yellow star?

Hold on, I'll put this one on.

The bigger one. This one, yeah.

Put it here.

That's beautiful!

-It's looking really lovely.

-Yeah, I know.

Put that one there, and this one here.

I've finished.

Have you finished? Let's have a look.

Shall we put it in an envelope?

Mum, it won't go in!

Let me try.

We need to fold it over a little bit more.

Perfect!

The letter is finished.

'Now, look who's home.

'Dad's chatting with his friend, and Mario is about to surprise him.'

I've put a heart in here.

From you, Papa, I receive lots.

To Papa, I say, "I love you."

About you, Papa, I say I'm proud of you.

To Papa, I say thank you.

Thank you, Papa, for all the good you've done for me.

With you, Papa, I'm never scared.

With you, Papa, I feel strong.

With you, Papa, I'm always happy.

And down here I wrote, "From Mario".

And there's a heart.

What a great present, Mario!

Have fun with Dad. Now it's time for us to go.

Where shall we go and who shall we see?

It's Anushka, in India.

Anushka's waiting for a bus with her mum, dad and her brother, Akhilesh.

Which bus are they going to catch?

-TRANSLATION:

-Look, there's a 356!

No, that's not your bus, Anushka.

What about the 349?

No, that's not your bus either.

Wait, Akhilesh has spotted another one.

Could that be the bus you need? It is! The brown bus.

Come on!

Quick, everyone, or it will leave without you!

The family is going on a journey to visit Grandma in the countryside.

Mum's sitting with Anushka, but where's Akhilesh?

Oh, there he is, next to Dad.

-TRANSLATION:

-When will we get there, Mum?

At nine o'clock.

It's eight o'clock now, and we'll be

there at nine, so that's a whole hour.

It's a long way to Grandma's.

I'm feeling sleepy.

I'm feeling sleepy too.

No, you're not.

Yes, I am, I had to get up so early.

I had to get up early too.

At last, they've arrived.

They're Anushka's cousins,

and they're all off to see Grandma.

-Hi, Grandma!

-You've come to see me!

-How are you?

-I'm fine.

Everyone's hungry after such a long journey,

so Anushka's helping Grandma to make a nice big lunch.

Grandma, what are we making?

That's rice and lamb curry.

What about kebabs?

No, dear, there are no kebabs today.

These herbs will give the food a really good flavour.

What do they taste like, Anushka?

Ugh!

Don't worry, they'll be much nicer once they're cooked.

And while lunch is cooking,

Anushka heads outside to play with her cousins.

They've found a long piece of coloured string.

Pull it, pull it, make it longer!

But what are they making?

We'll make it into a train.

Let me go at the front.

All aboard! The Anushka train is leaving the station.

Come on, everyone!

Another passenger, up you get!

Go faster!

Come on, faster!

Slow down!

OK, faster again.

Let's go, let's go!

The train is going all over the village.

But where to?

The Anushka train has reached its final stop - the playground.

Round and round Anushka goes, and it's time for us to go, too.

Where shall we go and who shall we see?

It's Hamza, in Jordan.

'Today, Hamza and his family are making something together.'

-TRANSLATION:

-I don't know what we've got to do yet.

I'll tell you what to do as we go along.

They're going to make a beautiful kite,

and it'll need to be really well-made, if it's going to fly.

This bit's called the frame.

I hope you're watching carefully, Hamza, because one day

you'll make one for...?

My son.

No, it won't fly yet.

'The frame needs a sail to catch the wind and help it fly.

'There's a lot to do, so everyone is helping out.

'While Hamza and Mum are making a tail,

'Rama and Dad get to work on the sail.'

What a great tail, Hamza!

'Now, time for another job.

'Dad checks Hamza's using the

'scissors safely as he cuts the sail.'

Cut and pull at the same time.

Keep going!

Well done.

Hamza's using glue to stick the sail to the frame.

Dad's on to the next step -

a shining star.

On goes the tail, and the kite is ready to fly.

Wow, look at that!

THEY CHEER

Next, we'll build a rocket!

Hamza lives in a very busy city,

so where are they going to fly their new kite?

Oh, from the roof!

It's safe up there with Mum and Dad watching.

But is it windy enough up here to fly the kite?

Throw it in the air!

Be patient - when there's enough wind, he will.

It's already windy.

Hmm, the wind isn't very strong at the moment, is it?

Just let it go, it'll fly on its own!

Dad's trying, Hamza, but your lovely kite might not be able to fly today.

Keep going, keep going!

So much for having fun with it!

We need a fan to help it fly.

Right, one last try.

Come on, Hamza, Dad needs your help.

Don't give up!

I'll go over there and you go over here.

When I tell you, throw the kite up.

Let go on my signal.

The wind's here!

Let go!

Higher, higher!

Hamza, it worked, your fantastic kite is flying high!

'What a great day it's been for everyone.'

Mario made a beautiful card

for his dad.

Anushka went on an adventure.

And Hamza made an amazing kite.

I wonder who we'll meet next time!
