0:00:29 > 0:00:30It's morning,
0:00:30 > 0:00:34and the children and parents are arriving at Lowick School.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37But today, Abby, Pandra, Charlie and Mitchell
0:00:37 > 0:00:40are going with Mrs Edmison to spend the day
0:00:40 > 0:00:43at the small school on the island for the very first time.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45I always want to sit in the boot.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- This is Brian.- Here we go.- Yes.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- Boys in first.- Two boys in the back.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55- Pandra, are you getting in? - Pandra, you're on the red seat.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58There you go.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Brian puts their seat belts on, and they're off.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05ENGINE STARTS
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Have you ever been to Holy Island, Pandra?- No.- No?
0:01:13 > 0:01:14What do you think we'll do?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Do you think we'll have some nice things to do?- Yes.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Waiting for them at the island school is their classmate Connor,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- and his teacher, Mrs Fieldhouse. - And to the next one.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32Connor lives on the island, so he's already at the small school.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Very good.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- Look at that beautiful sky, there. - I know. It's lovely, isn't it?
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- You can see all the clouds and the sunshine through it.- Oh, yeah!
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- It's peachy colour. - It's peachy colour, it is.- Look!
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- That big windmill.- I like windmills.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53They go round and round and round.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55I can see the sea!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Can you see the sea, Charlie? - It's over there.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00And the road goes over the sand.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04To get to the island,
0:02:04 > 0:02:08the children from the mainland drive on a road across the water.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Because the tide is out, and the road is clear, Abby, Pandra,
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Mitchell and Charlie are able to cross the road to the island.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18When the tide comes in, you can't get over this road.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21When the tide comes out, we can go on this road.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Yes, when the tide goes out, we can go on the road.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28So when the tide is out, we can go on the road.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37We're nearly there.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40We're nearly there. That's what.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- Do you think Mrs Fieldhouse will be waiting for us?- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Hello!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Connor.- Come on this way.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Oh, lovely!- Connor, can I give you your wellies?
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Hello, Abby. Is that Charlie and Mitchell in the back there?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Everyone's happy to see their classmate Connor.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Connor!
0:03:12 > 0:03:14You don't need to take your shoes off.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Connor shows his friends the classroom,
0:03:18 > 0:03:23and everyone settles down to learn some new sounds and words.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25So, let's have a look.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30When we put the "a" and the "i" together
0:03:30 > 0:03:33and two vowels go walking...
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- ALL:- The first one does the talking.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40This one is called...
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- ALL:- Ai.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46And this one...
0:03:47 > 0:03:50"o" and "a" together say...
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- CHILDREN:- Oa.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Oa. Well done, Connor.
0:03:54 > 0:04:00OK, then. We've got sound, a sound and a sound.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Three sounds. Put them together.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- ALL:- R-ai-n.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07What's the word?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- ALL:- Rain.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17This was our new sound yesterday. We only just got this one yesterday.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- ALL:- Oa.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Now, what if I put a...
0:04:24 > 0:04:26G-G-G-G...
0:04:26 > 0:04:29G-oa...
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Goat.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Well done. Goat.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Now, what if I change this one for this one,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42and now it says...?
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- CHILDREN:- B-B-B...
0:04:47 > 0:04:50B-oa-t.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Boat!
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Well done, Pandra. That says "boat".
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Time to dress up warm and explore the island.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Squeeze in, Abby!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Your wellies are at the door.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12See the green wellies?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Wellies will keep their feet dry.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Here's a nice puddle. Are you going to go through it or round it?
0:05:26 > 0:05:27- Yeah.- Through it.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Oh, marvellous.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37That's why you need 4x4 wellies.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42The bigger the jump, the bigger the splash!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Do you know, Charlie, you could probably be
0:05:45 > 0:05:48the best puddle jumper I've ever seen.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Me!- Go on, then.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59These are called the twirly gates. In we go.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Go through and show them how to do it. You see?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You push and you walk at the same time.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- You twirl them round. - You can only go one at a time.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10You go in that one.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11And that one.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Walk in.- No, you go first.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- You go first.- Well done. Push, push, push. That's it.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Can you see over there?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Towards the islands.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Look, what's that in the distance?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- There. Did you see it?- A light!
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Yes.- It's the lighthouse!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33The lighthouse. You're right, Pandra.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Did you see it, Abby? It's Longstone Lighthouse, yes.
0:06:36 > 0:06:42And every 20 seconds, that light shines.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Watch again.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Waiting for it, waiting for it...
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Watch closely.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- There! CHILDREN:- There!
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- That was brilliant. - It was brilliant!- It flashed again!
0:06:54 > 0:06:59OK, we're going up on the highest hill on the island.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04And see, Lindisfarne Castle. But do you know what?
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- Once we get up the hill, we'll see even more.- Oooh!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16That's where we're going.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Up that little tower there, into the look-out.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26- Can I get a turn of lighting it up? - It's not a lighthouse.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27It's a look-out.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30So, you can look right the way round about.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32We are nearly there.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Speed up, everyone!
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Here we are. We've come all the way round the village
0:07:43 > 0:07:46and we're going into the look-out.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50There are some steps in here. We've got to be careful. In we come.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Now, you've got to hold on to the rail as we go.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Cos otherwise, it's very slippy.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Yes, so be careful.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Come on, Charlie. One more step.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Well done.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Come on, then. Hold this other hand.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Here we are.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Whoa, it's a long way up.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28And the school is over there. Can you see the tower?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31It's just beside the water tower, the school.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35And there's the harbour down there with the fishing boats
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- where Connor's daddy goes fishing from.- Where is his dad?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I don't think he's fishing today.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Can you see some little black dots?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Do you know what those little black dots are?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- What?- They're seals.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Seals!
0:08:53 > 0:08:57And in the middle of the night, they go...
0:08:57 > 0:09:00THEY MIMIC SEALS
0:09:00 > 0:09:04There's a little red seal there called Pandra.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08There's a Charlie McFarley seal here, going...
0:09:08 > 0:09:11THEY MIMIC SEALS
0:09:14 > 0:09:17When the water comes in, the seals who sit on those,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20they have to go swimming and looking for fish.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25And then the tide goes out again, and the sand bar appears.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29And the little seals come back, and they shout to each other again.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32THEY MIMIC SEALS
0:09:35 > 0:09:37All down? All down, nice and safe.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Off they go to get a closer look.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44I wonder what Pandra can see?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47What is it?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50It's a seal!
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Pandra, the Island Explorer.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55On another intrepid adventure!
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Do you know what? We've run out of time,
0:10:00 > 0:10:02and we have to go and have our lunch.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Come on, then. Better go back.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Pandra...
0:10:06 > 0:10:09We'll go back in a taxi.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Time to walk back to school...
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Everybody, splash!
0:10:17 > 0:10:19..and splash in more puddles!
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Come on, then! Hooray!
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Oh, well done, Connor!
0:10:36 > 0:10:40Thanks for showing all of us your island, Connor.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Quick, quick, quick!
0:10:50 > 0:10:52# La-la-la
0:10:52 > 0:10:55# La-la-la
