00:00Look up, look down, look all around. Up in the air or on the ground. Come for a walk, come for a ride. There's so much to see, so come outside.
00:27You'll see us in a building. You'll find us in a wall, sitting side by side and row on row. We come in different colours. Some are yellow, some are red, or brown, or white. What are we? Do you know? We're bricks.
00:57Hello, my dears. I'm doing some building today. Filling up a hole in the wall with some new bricks.
01:12This is my mortar. It's made of sand, cement, and water.
01:19It'll dry like glue does, and hold the bricks together.
01:26Oh, look. Pippin's building a wall too.
01:41Look at the pattern the bricks are making. They don't sit one above the other like this.
01:48They sit in between. Like this. That makes the wall much stronger.
01:55Oh. I've only got one brick left. I didn't buy enough.
02:02How silly. Well, we'll just have to go and buy some more. Pippin!
02:09It's time to fly!
02:16Pippin?
02:17Pippin?
02:18It's time to fly!
02:23What is the armouring tree?
02:25Oh, look.
02:26You're there!
02:28Oh, look out!
02:29Probably it's too hot to see you.
02:31How nice!
02:33Bye.
03:03Look, Dippin, there's a clay quarry.
03:28Can you see the digger?
03:29It's digging clay out of the ground
03:34and putting it on the back of that lorry.
03:47There goes the lorry.
03:48It's taking the clay to a factory.
03:53It looks like a toy from up here, doesn't it?
03:58There's the factory.
03:59And that's where we're going.
04:07Because this is where they use the clay to make bricks.
04:10First of all, the clay is crushed into small pieces by two giant wheels.
04:26It travels on through some more crushers, and then it's mixed with water.
04:40They roll the clay in some sand and sawdust so it isn't too sticky.
04:56Then it's put in a brick-shaped box called a mould.
05:04A strip of wire scrapes off the top.
05:09They're tipped out of their moulds, and there are the bricks.
05:14But they're not finished yet.
05:18Sometimes they make bricks by hand.
05:26Would you like to have a go, Andy, maybe?
05:28Would you like to have a go, Andy, maybe?
05:29Oh, yes, please.
05:30Take some clay.
05:33Take some clay.
05:35Roll it in the sand and sawdust.
05:39Roll it in the sand and sawdust.
05:50Into the mould.
05:57Slice off the top.
06:08And there's the brick.
06:13But it isn't finished yet.
06:16What?
06:19What's the matter?
06:26Thank you, Pippin.
06:28But I have been making a brick.
06:31Of course, making bricks one by one takes a very long time.
06:37There's a machine here which can do the job much faster.
06:42It does it by making one long bar of clay.
06:48Then wire cutters cut it up into bricks.
06:53But they're not finished yet.
07:04All the bricks must go into the dryer.
07:14They'll stay in the dryer for several days.
07:19Then they all go into the kiln.
07:22It's like a very hot oven.
07:25Look!
07:27You can see the fire burning inside.
07:31Being baked in a kiln makes the bricks hard and strong.
07:40And now they're all finished.
07:45These are the bricks I'm having to finish building my wall.
07:48I think they're just the right colour.
07:52Pippin, stop it.
07:54You'll break your teeth.
07:56They're much too heavy to carry.
07:58They'll be delivered to our house on a lorry.
08:02Most of these bricks are going to building sites.
08:07There's one not far from here where they're building houses.
08:12We'll go and have a look.
08:27Now Pippin, stay close by my side.
08:30This is a very dangerous place.
08:37Hello.
08:41Houses usually have two walls.
08:43One on the inside, made of concrete blocks, and one on the outside, made of bricks.
08:50And the air in the space between them helps to keep the house warm in the winter and cool
08:56in the summer.
08:59It's the bricklayer's job to build the walls.
09:05Can I have a go?
09:06You might.
09:11I've always wanted to build a house.
09:24This reminds me of the three little pigs.
09:32The first little pig built a house of straw with a chimney, a window, and a little red door.
09:40A hungry wolf came prowling through the town, a hungry wolf came prowling through the town.
09:48And he huffed, and he huffed, and he huffed, and he blew the house down.
09:56Help!
09:57Help!
09:58Help!
09:59Help!
10:00The wolf wants to eat us!
10:03Help!
10:04Help!
10:05Help!
10:06Help!
10:07Help!
10:08The wolf!
10:09The wolf wants to eat us!
10:14Help!
10:15Help!
10:16Help!
10:17Help!
10:18Help!
10:19Help!
10:20Help!
10:21Help!
10:22Help!
10:23Help!
10:25Help!
10:26Help!
10:39Help!
10:40I'd rather make do with jam and bread
10:43Cos he couldn't blow the little house down
10:46La-dee-da, la-dee-da
10:51No, he couldn't blow the little house down
10:54Thank you. I hope I haven't spoiled your wall.
11:04Come on, Pippin.
11:05Pippin?
11:08Where's Pippin?
11:10Where's Pippin?
11:22Pippin?
11:23Pippin?
11:24Pippin?
11:25Pippin?
11:26Pippin?
11:27Pippin?
11:58Oh, Pippin.
12:21I told her to stay by my side.
12:26Those building sites are such dangerous places.
12:29Oh, Pippin.
12:46I told her to stay by my side.
12:53Oh, Pippin.
12:54Oh, Pippin.
12:55Oh, Pippin.
12:56Oh, Pippin.
12:57I've got some bricks for you.
12:58Oh.
13:00And, er, something else that's yours, I think.
13:03Really?
13:04What's that?
13:05Pippin.
13:06Oh, Pippin.
13:07Thank goodness.
13:08Oh, Pippin.
13:09Oh, Pippin.
13:10Thank goodness.
13:15I was so worried.
13:16Oh, Pippin.
13:17Thank goodness.
13:18I was so worried.
13:20Oh.
13:21Oh, Pippin.
13:22Oh, Pippin.
13:23Oh, Pippin.
13:24Oh, Pippin.
13:25Oh, Pippin.
13:26Oh, Pippin.
13:27Oh, Pippin.
13:28Oh, Pippin.
13:30Oh.
