01:34Tell us where we will go?
01:42Hello. I'm Miss Hooley.
01:45I know you don't, aye.
01:47What's your name?
01:49Ah, yes. I remember now.
01:51So, what's the story in BALAMORI?
01:55Well, today in BALAMORI it feels quite warm
01:58Because it's a sunny day.
02:03And everyone here is busy going to work and school.
02:14What's this?
02:18Well now.
02:20This is a very unusual book.
02:23It's not a story book.
02:25Although it does tell a kind of story.
02:27This is one of PC Plum's old notebooks.
02:31Everywhere he goes,
02:32He writes down the places he's been
02:34And draws pictures of everything he's seen
02:36So that he won't forget anything.
02:39I'd better keep my eye on this.
02:42Ah, there's the school bus.
02:45I wonder who'll be coming to the BALAMORI nursery today.
02:53There's Zekira.
02:56Hello, Matthew.
02:58Here's Regan.
02:58There's Amber.
02:59In he come Caitlin.
03:01Hello, Beth.
03:02Hello, Lauren.
03:03And Gibran.
03:03Hey, it's Kyle and Connor.
03:05There's Zekira again.
03:07Here's Stephen and Kirsty.
03:09Come on in, Talia.
03:10Hello, Kiana.
03:13And who else, I wonder?
03:15And you, join in the fun too.
03:21Everybody, everyone,
03:23Come inside and join the fun.
03:27Painting, splodging, splashing,
03:30Dancing, robbing, building.
03:32Make your favourite thing.
03:34Everybody, everyone,
03:37Come inside and join the fun.
03:41Singing, stories, gluing, colouring,
03:44Dressing up, playing games,
03:46Make your favourite thing.
03:48Everybody, everyone,
03:51Come inside and join the fun.
03:56Hey, wait.
03:57I'll all want a dinner and dinner.
04:00Do you want to sit in my seat?
04:02Yeah.
04:03You sit in my seat and I can just crouch here, can't I?
04:05There you go.
04:06Would you like a juice as well?
04:08I don't.
04:09Do you, don't you?
04:10We're having a party.
04:11I'm having a party now.
04:13Anne, I know what we can have all milk.
04:16I don't want milk, I want coke.
04:19Guess what?
04:20I think I hear a noise outside.
04:22I think we've maybe got a visitor.
04:28I wonder who it can be.
04:29Who can see?
04:31Yeah.
04:35Howdy, Miss Hooley.
04:37Edie.
04:40Back against the suit?
04:41Yes.
04:41Oh, I hate to bother you.
04:43I know you're a very busy person, but you have such a way with the wee ones.
04:48Oh, thank you.
04:49I pick them up every day on the bus and some of them live a long way away.
04:54And I bring them all here to the nursery.
04:56That's right.
04:57Well, I'm afraid to say that some of them get rather restless, you know.
05:04They get bored.
05:05Bored, Edie?
05:06Well, I could never get bored.
05:08I drive my bus round and round the island and I never, ever get bored.
05:13But the children aren't driving the bus, Edie.
05:16They're just sitting there.
05:18Oh, I suppose so.
05:20I just, just sitting there.
05:24You need to think of someone who can help you find ways to keep the children happy when they're sitting
05:29on the bus.
05:30By who?
05:30Well, someone else who doesn't like to sit still. Someone who will know how to keep the children happy.
05:38There's only one person I know that can't sit still and that's...
05:42Josie Jumbo!
05:45Oh, thanks, Miss Hooley. Josie will know how to help keep the children happy, I'm sure.
05:51Why don't you pop down to see her straight away? She should be home today.
05:54I will.
05:56Adios!
05:57Adios!
05:59Which colour house will Edie be visiting?
06:07Can you see all the different coloured houses sitting by the sea?
06:13Well, there's part of the story in Bala Morias.
06:16Which is the house for me?
06:19Is it pink? Is it blue?
06:21Which coloured house are we going to?
06:24Yellow, green house, orange or red?
06:27Or should we go to the white house instead?
06:30Orange house, green house, red house or white?
06:35Pink house, yellow, blue.
06:38Which coloured house are we going to?
06:47Which coloured house are we going to?
06:50Tell me what do you think?
06:53Which coloured house are we going to?
06:56Tell me what do you think?
07:06Yes, it is the yellow house, because that's where Josie Jump lives.
07:17Howdy, JJ.
07:19Oh, hi, Edie.
07:20So, what's the story in Balmori this fine morning?
07:24Well, I've got a wee problem.
07:27Whatever it is, I'll jump at it.
07:29Oh, well, I hope so, Josie.
07:32What are you doing?
07:34Oh, this is my thinking position.
07:39Well, it's like this.
07:41Every day, I drive the bus.
07:44I pick up the children, and I bring them to the nursery.
07:46But sometimes, the children get a little unhappy just sitting there,
07:51and I wondered if you had an idea of how to make their journey to the nursery
07:56a bit more fun.
07:58I've got the perfect solution.
08:00Why don't you lead the children in a sing-song?
08:02You know, get them moving.
08:04Like this.
08:05Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream.
08:09Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily.
08:12Life is but a dream.
08:16Oh, that's very good, Josie.
08:18But all these boats and streams and rowing merrily is all well and good.
08:23But isn't there a song about, you know, driving a bus?
08:28Oh, a bus.
08:32Of course.
08:34Why didn't I think of it before?
08:35The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round.
08:41Come on, let's do it.
08:45The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round.
08:51The wheels on the bus go round and round all day long.
08:58Oh, that's it, Josie.
09:00I'm going to lead the children in a sing-song of the wheels on the bus.
09:04Oh, thank you, JJ.
09:06The wheels on the bus go round and round.
09:09Keep on moving, Edie.
09:19Howdy, Miss H.
09:21Edie, hello again.
09:22How's you got on with Josie?
09:23Well, Miss Hoody, Josie has cracked it.
09:27How marvellous.
09:28What did she tell you to do?
09:30Josie taught me this great action song
09:32so that when I'm driving and the children need cheering up,
09:36they can join in with me like this.
09:38The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round.
09:45The wheels on the bus go round and round all day long.
09:51That's very good, Edie, but how are you going to drive the bus and do the actions at the same
09:55time?
09:55Oh, Miss Hoody, oh, I never thought of that.
10:00Look, not to worry.
10:03There must be another way to stop the children from getting bored.
10:06Something that doesn't involve you jumping up and joining in with the actions.
10:10You've got to drive the bus.
10:12But I've tried everything.
10:13What else can I do?
10:15There must be someone who can help you.
10:18Well, who would know how to keep the children from getting bored?
10:23Well, who rides around and around Balamori and never gets bored?
10:29I know, PC Plum.
10:39I'm PC Plum and I'll tell you what I've done.
10:43I've pedaled round this island more than once or twice.
10:47And if you call on me, we can make a cup of tea.
10:51I'll tell you all about the bees and birds and mice.
10:59I'm PC Plum and I'll tell you who I am.
11:03I'm your policeman and I'll always be your chum.
11:07With my magnifying glass, I can look between the grass.
11:12And all the tiny beasties, we look at them run.
11:17You can bet you'll see me a-comin'.
11:22On my bike, I'm ridin' round the town.
11:26In the country, I've checked on all the wildlife.
11:30The people, trees and animals, I keep them safe and sound.
11:35Safe and sound.
11:39I'm PC Plum.
11:49PC Plum.
11:51I'm just a chicken.
11:54PC Plum.
11:56I love the country.
11:58PC Plum.
12:01Be careful crossing.
12:03PC Plum.
12:05I found your doggie.
12:07PC Plum.
12:10Here's your handbag.
12:12PC Plum.
12:14PC Plum.
12:28Oh, howdy, Plummy.
12:30Heyo, Edie.
12:31What's the story in Balamori?
12:33Well, I called on Miss Hooley in the nursery
12:37and told her that sometimes the children in the bus get a bit fed up.
12:42Miss Hooley said I needed to find someone who could think of ways to keep the children happy
12:46when they're sitting on the bus.
12:48Oh, Josie taught me a song, The Wheels on the Bus.
12:51The song is great fun because it has all kinds of different actions.
12:57When I told Miss Hooley about the song and all the actions, I realised I couldn't drive the bus and
13:04do all the actions at the same time.
13:06Oh, no, you have to concentrate on your driving, Edie.
13:09Exactly.
13:10So what should I do?
13:11Well, you're lucky to catch me in.
13:14I've been out all morning.
13:15I've made a note of everything I spied as I cycled round the island.
13:18Look, and my note, look, look.
13:20This is everything I've spied.
13:22Oh, like an I-spy book?
13:23Yes.
13:24One kite, three orange poppies, ten sheep, one rabbit, one stream.
13:31Oh, oh, but honestly, Plummy, I could never see all these things.
13:35I'm far too busy driving my bus.
13:38Too busy to look and see everything around you.
13:42That's it.
13:43What the children need is an I-spy book like yours.
13:47Something that will make them see and notice all the wonderful things around them.
13:52Oh, thank you, BZ Plummy, I could hug you.
13:56OK, steady on.
13:57Oh, bye, Plummy.
13:58Bye.
14:04OK, everyone, group time.
14:06Want to come over?
14:07We're going to make some I-spy books.
14:09Oh, what excitement, eh?
14:11I-spy books.
14:13This here is the book that we're going to put all the pictures into once we've cut them out.
14:18And it's going to be called our I-spy book for Edie McCready's bus.
14:23So that we can use it when we're travelling home and we can look at the pictures
14:26and then look out the window and tick them off as we see them.
14:30So if we see a tractor on the way home, we can tick them off.
14:36That's it.
14:36Now watch your fingers there.
14:38Are they cutting the...
14:38Oh, your grand cutters.
14:47They're all doing really well.
14:49Oh, yes.
14:51Oh, yes.
15:12Edie, this was a great idea.
15:14And the children will get a chance to use their I-spy books on the way home on the bus
15:18so that they won't get bored.
15:20So thank you very much.
15:24And wait for me.
15:28There we are.
15:29Off we go then.
15:31Round you come.
15:34Into the Edie McCready bus.
15:37You'll find your seat.
15:39You want to go on yourself?
15:40Well, that's perfectly all right.
15:41Of course you can.
15:43They bring you to the I-spy books on the bus.
15:45Bye.
15:47Bye.
15:55Okay, everyone.
15:56Let's put these I-spy books to work.
15:59Can anyone spy any trees?
16:03Tree coming!
16:13Now everyone look for something white and woolly.
16:17Cheek, cheek, cheek, cheek, cheek, cheek, cheek.
16:33Now what else can you see?
16:36Hot pie!
16:46Now we're on the lookout for something on the sea.
16:59Ha-ha!
17:00I can spy something with two wheels.
17:03Bicycle!
17:04Bicycle!
17:06Bicycle!
17:08Bicycle!
17:10Bicycle!
17:16Bicycle!
17:22So, what was the story in Ballymorey today?
17:26Edie had a bit of a problem.
17:28She told me that sometimes the children on the bus get a little bit fed up.
17:32She needed to think of a way to keep the children happy on the bus.
17:36Josie Junk taught Edie a song, The Wheels and the Bus.
17:40But then we realised that she couldn't drive and do the actions at the same time.
17:45So, PC Plum showed Edie his I Spy book.
17:49He told her all about the things he'd spied in Ballymorey this morning.
17:53Edie decided that what the children needed was an I Spy book like PC Plum's.
17:58So, the children made some I Spy books and they used them on their bus trip home this afternoon.
18:19Ballymorey, Ballymorey.
