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.
00:26We're perfect for drawing and colouring in, with so many colours to choose from. We're perfect for writing your favourite words. Keep us sharpened and ready to use. What are we? We're pencils.
00:47Pippin sits still. Hello, me dears. I'm trying to draw Pippin's picture, but she keeps moving. Now sit still, Pippin.
01:09Pippin! I think you need a walk. You're very restless. It's time I bought a new pencil. We'll go to the stationery shop. Come on.
01:35Here they are. What a lot of pencils.
01:43Here they are. What a lot of pencils.
01:57Did you know there are different sorts of pencils? Some make light, thin lines on the paper. Others make dark, thicker lines. I need one that makes dark lines. This one, I think.
02:17Have you ever wondered where pencils come from? We'll go and find out. Thank you.
02:35Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:38Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:42Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:45That's what you do.
02:46Pippin!
02:49Pippin.
02:50Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:53Pippin!
02:54We're going to a place which has big hills and lakes, so look out for a lake full of
03:17water, Pippin.
03:24Can you see a lake, Pippin?
03:31Yes!
03:36Here we are.
03:39Look how the land dips in the middle, with hills on both sides.
03:44It's called a valley.
03:49And that's where we're going.
03:52Something happened here five hundred years ago.
04:07And if it hadn't happened, there might never have been any pencils.
04:11It all began here, in the valley we call Seathwaite.
04:23There were two brothers, Thomas and John.
04:27They were shepherds, and they each owned a flock of sheep.
04:32Every day their sheep would feed together in the grassy valley.
04:38One day John noticed a sheep had wandered off.
04:41Thomas, he said, one of your sheep is up in the hills.
04:46You'd better go and fetch her back.
04:48That isn't my sheep, said Thomas.
04:51That's one of yours.
04:53You'd better go and fetch her back.
04:57Then they began to argue.
05:00You see, the problem was, they couldn't tell one sheep from another.
05:04They all looked the same.
05:07That night there was a terrible storm.
05:12Next morning, on the side of the hill, Thomas and John saw an old tree had been torn from the ground by the fierce wind.
05:23And there, under its roots, they saw what looked like coal.
05:29They always needed coal to make a fire to keep themselves warm and cook their food.
05:36So, Thomas and John dug up as much as they could carry.
05:42When they got it home, they tried to light it.
05:46But it wouldn't burn.
05:49This isn't coal, said John.
05:52What is it?
05:54Then, Thomas noticed his hands were dark grey.
06:00And he said,
06:02I don't know what it is, but I know what we can use it for.
06:07He went out into the valley where the sheep were feeding.
06:13And he marked half of them with a cross.
06:17Now, John, he said,
06:21The sheep I've marked are mine, and the rest are yours.
06:28So, from then on, they knew who owned which sheep.
06:33And they never argued about it again.
06:39The shepherds didn't know it, but they discovered a special sort of rock called graphite.
06:47It was very good at making marks, which didn't come off easily.
06:59Very soon, tunnels were dug deep into the hills, and they began to dig up the graphite.
07:06You can still see up there on the hillside, where they used to dig for graphite.
07:13I wonder what it was like in those tunnels.
07:18Oh, Pippin, I think we're in one of the tunnels, deep under the ground.
07:35Pippin, Pippin, where are you?
07:47Pippin, what have you found?
07:54That's how they used to work in the underground tunnels.
08:06Chipping away at the rock to dig out the graphite.
08:15Oh!
08:16Well, once they dug up the graphite, people started using it for writing.
08:28And we still use it today.
08:30This is a factory where they use graphite to make pencils.
08:35Come on, Pippin.
08:37There's some graphite.
08:46It's being crushed and mixed with clay.
08:52When it's ready, the graphite and clay mixture is put into a machine,
08:57where it's squeezed and squashed into this round shape.
09:02It's called a billet.
09:12The billet goes into a machine, which squeezes and squashes it even more
09:18and cuts it up into hundreds of very thin strips.
09:23The strips are put into a hot oven to dry out.
09:36They stay there for three hours.
09:43Then they're soaked in hot wax.
09:46The wax will make them write smoothly, so they won't tear the paper.
09:57And there it is.
10:00But this doesn't look like a pencil.
10:03No, it needs a wooden jacket.
10:09So the graphite strips are glued onto pieces of wood.
10:16Another piece of wood is glued on top, making a sandwich.
10:26Then the sandwich is cut up.
10:29And now they look like pencils.
10:33Then they're painted.
10:36These pencils are having yellow jackets painted on.
10:40They're all sharpened, like these green-coloured pencils.
10:47And then they're ready to use.
10:51What a lot of colours!
10:54Thank you! Goodbye!
10:58Pippin's got a souvenir.
11:03Show us, Pippin.
11:07It's a piece of graphite.
11:09It looks like one of the very first pencils ever used.
11:17And I've bought a set of coloured pencils,
11:20so we can go home and finish Pippin's picture in colour.
11:24What a busy day, Pippin!
11:27There are so many things to do with pencils.
11:32Practice writing letters nice and neatly.
11:36Choose your favourite colours for a picture.
11:40Like a monster with purple handsome feet.
11:43We shall always remember the things we've seen today.
11:50Pencils made of graphite and pencils made of clay.
11:58You could all write a letter to Pippin.
12:01Pippin!
12:03Don't forget to write it nice and clearly.
12:06Use your coloured pencils for a border.
12:10Try not to make a smudge.
12:13Oh dear!
12:15We shall always remember the things we've seen today.
12:20Pencils made of graphite and pencils made of clay.
12:23Pencils made of clay.
12:45Pippin!
12:47What are you doing?
12:48Pencils made of clay?
12:49Pippin!
12:50It's your picture!
12:58Well, I think it looks very nice.
13:05I'll write your name on it.
13:08P?
13:09P-Pin. Pippin.
13:39P-Pin.
