00:18Hello, I'm Phonic. Do you like my alphabet song? My friends do. That's snake and inky
00:26mouse and Bee, they're all here with me in Inky's mouse hole. Oh, that reminds me. Inky! Inky!
00:38Now don't forget, Inky, we still need a picture for the sound J. I won't. Here you are, everyone.
00:47Some fresh honey for the picnic. Oh, thank you, Bee. Now I can make some honey sandwiches
00:55to go with the egg ones. If snake can leave them alone. I just love picnics. Bee? Yes, Phonic?
01:04Did you know that your name is the same as the second letter in the alphabet? No, I thought
01:10that was B. You know, A, B, K. Well, it is and it isn't. As you know, A, B and
01:23K are the
01:24sounds the letters make. Yes. Well, a letter also has a name, just like us. Really? And B, the
01:35second letter of the alphabet is called B. Just like you. So when we want to say the alphabet,
01:43we say the names of the letters, not the sounds. A, B, C. Instead of A, B, K. So I'm
01:53in the
01:54alphabet. Oh, it's Snake. No, only you. Don't you know the alphabet song? No. Let's all sing
02:05it then. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R,
02:20S, T, U, E, W, X, Y, Z.
02:27Oh, that was lovely. Can you teach me that? Later. Let's get on with the picnic. Now, where
02:38did I put that jelly? Where are we going, Inky? I thought the vowel forest would be a good
02:45idea. I have to take some pictures for the fourth book. The owl forest? Oh, don't go there.
02:53Owls eat mice, don't they? No, not owls. Vowels. They're not scary at all. But you need to watch
03:04out. Vowels. Yes. Let me explain. You know that letters use their sounds in words? Yes. Well, the
03:16vowels are different. As well as using their sounds, A, E, I, O, A in words, they can also
03:26use their names. A, E, I, O, U. When vowels come together, the first one says its name. So, if
03:38you get an A and an E together, that makes an A. And two E's make the E sound. And
03:49E and
03:50E together make the I sound. And O and A together make the O sound. So, think of rain or
04:02pain.
04:02Oh, don't say rain. Not when we're just about to go on a picnic. So, those two letters together
04:11make only one sound. Of course. So, although there are four letters, there are only three
04:18three sounds. R, A, N, and P, A, N. You see? I know phonic. To show its only one sound,
04:34can you put the A and the I together, please? Like in joined up writing? Yes. I can try. Is
04:44not for a computer like me. I may not be this year's model, but I do have a few tricks
04:49up
04:49my circuits. How do you know it says A and not I? Because you use the name of the first
05:02letter, not the second. Just remember this simple rule. When two vowels go walking, the
05:09first does the talking. When two vowels go walking, the first does the talking. In this case, A.
05:22Can we go walking now, please? Oh, yes. As soon as I find the jelly. Has anyone seen it?
05:33What? That lovely wibbly-wobbly jelly? Yes. I need a picture of it for the juh sound. I can't
05:44see it anywhere. I can hear it. Listen. It's jiggling and jumping about somewhere. I think I can
05:56hear it too. Snake. I can see you're wobbling like a jelly. Have you got something to tell us?
06:09I'm sorry I ate all the jelly up, Inky. I didn't realise you wanted to use it for the juh
06:14sound.
06:15I believe you, Snake. But it means we have to find something else with juh in it. Juh? Juh?
06:23Well, there's only an old jam pot with jam in it. Only an old jam pot? That's just the
06:30job, Bee. Jam has juh in it, hasn't it, Inky? Of course. It's perfect. Ant, would you mind
06:39if we took a picture of your jam? Not at all. Not at all. Take as many as you want.
06:45We really
06:46love phonics books, don't we, dear? Oh, yes. Thank you. Now for our picnic in the
06:57Bough Forest. At last. Oh, I like it here in the Bough Forest. There's so many amazing
07:18trees. Oh, look. That yellow leaf has a word on it. T, R, A, I. I know, I know. That's
07:36two vowels go for a walk. A and I. Means the first one, A, does the talking. Good. So the
07:46word is? T, R, A, I. Trade. Oh, snake. Bee was going to do that one. Well, Bee could do
07:57this word instead. Oh. It's another yellow leaf with A, I in it. A, M. Aim. I aim to enjoy
08:14myself today. Very good. I don't want to look at leaves. I want something more to eat. I'm
08:22hungry. Oh, snake. I think your tummy must reach your tail. You've eaten all that jelly, most
08:30of the egg sandwiches and ten sausages with their sticks. You can't eat any more. But I
08:38can. I can. I can. Well, if you start looking at the leaves, you might find something under
08:45them to eat. Oh, yes. Yes. Oh, look. There's some green leaves with words on them. This one
09:00says P, I, E. Ah, that's two vowels walking. I and E. So only use the first I. So that's
09:14all these little vowels. Peh, I. Peh, I. Peh, pie. Pie. Pie? Where? Where?
09:22Where? Oh, silly. It's the word on this leaf. Oh, I see. But I can still smell something.
09:35What? These flowers?
09:39No. Something to eat.
09:43Oh, Snake. Not again.
09:45What about this orange leaf? It says...
09:49N-E-E-D.
09:54That's two E's together. So that's...
09:58N-E-D.
10:00Need.
10:03Need.
10:05I need something all right.
10:10Here you are. Another orange leaf.
10:17Fade.
10:21But I can still smell something.
10:24And it makes me leave to feed.
10:28It has a tasty goat smell.
10:31You might be right.
10:33Look at that sign.
10:40Go at.
10:42No. Look B. That's two vowels together again.
10:46O and A.
10:48And when two vowels go walking...
10:50The first vowels are talking.
10:52And the first vowel is O.
10:55G-O-T.
10:57Goat.
10:58So that must mean it is a goat smell.
11:02I was right.
11:03There's a nice little goat in that field.
11:09I think I can hear something coming, Snake.
11:15Careful, Snake.
11:17It's coming quite fast.
11:19Come to sleep, little goat.
11:23I'm not going to look.
11:25Come to...
11:26Oh, no!
11:27Whoa!
11:30Whoa!
11:33Whoa!
11:34Whoa!
11:34Whoa!
11:36Oh!
11:37Oh!
11:37Oh, Snake.
11:38Are you okay?
11:40Look.
11:42I suppose that sign says Oak Tree and not O-Ack Tree.
11:50Yes, it does.
11:51It felt like an oak tree.
11:54With a kicking.
11:57Oh, sorry to laugh.
12:00But that was so funny.
12:04Even the donkey thinks so.
12:10Well, I've heard of flying fish and flying foxes before.
12:15But never ever a flying snake.
12:18The donkey saw the funny side.
12:21E-O-R.
12:22He went E-O-R.
12:24I can use that picture for both the E and the O-R sound.
12:28Yes.
12:29And it has a good action, too.
12:31You can pretend your paws or whatever are donkey's ears and go E-O-R, E-O-R.
12:42I don't think I've got any leaves with O-R words on them.
12:46No, you wouldn't have.
12:49O-R has an O-R in it.
12:50But it is a different vowel sound.
12:53But you must still have both letters to make the sound.
12:56S-T-O-R-M.
13:00Storm.
13:03And what's this one?
13:06P-I-N-E.
13:10P-I-N-E.
13:12Oh, I don't get it.
13:14Oh, I do.
13:17It's something to do with the magic E.
13:19P-I-N-E.
13:20Yes.
13:21You're right, Snake.
13:22Look at the two words you found.
13:24P-I-E and P-I-E.
13:27In P-I-E, we know that the E has changed the I into I.
13:32Now in P-I-E, the E becomes magic and hops over the N, but it still changes the I
13:39into an I.
13:41Instead of saying pin, we say pine.
13:47On this yellow leaf there's another magic E word.
13:51Snake should be able to read this one.
13:57S-N-A-K-E.
14:02Snake.
14:04Snake!
14:05That's right, Snake.
14:07The magic E has changed the A into an A.
14:11So it's snake, not snack.
14:16The magic E has hopped over the K.
14:18Snake.
14:20Snake's a better name for you, Snake.
14:24Oh, very funny.
14:27I'm off home now.
14:30Bye.
14:31You know home has a magic E in it too.
14:34It turns the O into an O.
14:37Good night, Snake.
14:38Ha, ha, ha, ha.
14:41Sorry.
14:41Ha, ha, ha.
14:42Snake.
14:43Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
14:46Good night, funny.
14:48Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
14:50B-B-C-T-E-N-G.
14:54They try to kill the end.
14:59Oh, B-U-R-S-T-E-N.
15:04B-W-R-X-B-Z.
15:07Bye.
15:08Bye.
