00:28Satsang with Mooji
00:30Oh, the first cuckoo of spring. I must go and tell the others.
00:39Snake, snake, can you hear the cuckoo?
00:44Oh dear.
00:46Fast asleep again.
00:53Inky, phonic, I've just heard...
00:57Ah, the very person we need.
01:01Keep flying on the spot. That's it.
01:06Thank you, Bee.
01:08I've just heard...
01:10Now, what have you just heard?
01:13I've just heard... I've just...
01:18forgotten.
01:19Oh.
01:20Why did you want a picture of me flying?
01:24Look.
01:26It's for the fifth book.
01:29We need a picture for the z sound.
01:34Zzzz.
01:34Zzzz.
01:35Yes.
01:37We had the zzzz sound snake makes for s.
01:42And the ee, ee, ee, ee noise I make for i.
01:47Now, we want the zzzz noise you make
01:52when you're busily buzzing about the flower.
01:57Zzzz.
01:57Zzzz.
01:58Like that?
01:58Yes.
01:59Oh.
02:01What else do you need for the fifth book?
02:04Right.
02:05Well, I'll tell you.
02:08We need pictures of v, w, ing, u and oo.
02:16U, oo.
02:18U, oo.
02:20U, oo.
02:23That's like the cuckoo.
02:24Yes, that's right.
02:26That's what I wanted to tell you.
02:29I've just heard the first cuckoo of spring.
02:34How marvellous.
02:37A cuckoo would be a great picture for our book.
02:41Where is it?
02:42Oh.
02:43Well, let's go and find out.
02:45Yes.
02:50There.
02:53Did you hear it?
02:56Yes.
02:57Oh, yes.
02:59Oh, don't go too fast.
03:02I've only got little legs.
03:04Oh.
03:07Not again.
03:08Can't a snake get some sleep on a sunny spring day
03:12without some mad mouse crashing into him?
03:14Sorry, Snake. I was in a hurry.
03:17I was in a hurry, Inky. Dashing here, dashing there.
03:21What's the trouble this time?
03:23No trouble.
03:24Bee and I are looking for the first cuckoo of spring.
03:27Listen.
03:31I can't hear anything.
03:33It's too early for cuckoos.
03:35No, it's not.
03:36Bee and I heard it calling.
03:38Well, it's not calling now.
03:42I lost the cuckoo.
03:44But I did find something else instead.
03:47What?
03:48Well, you better follow me and see.
03:59Look, what's this?
04:02It's a toy van.
04:05Somebody must have left it here.
04:06I've already taken a picture of the van for the v in the book.
04:13We'd pretend we're driving a van along the road and going, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom.
04:21Can I try, too?
04:26Hang on, Snake. I was here first.
04:29Can I try as well?
04:31How can you, Bee? You haven't got any paws.
04:35Nor a snake.
04:37Anyway, I can still pretend to drive and go...
04:45Yes, anybody can pretend to do anything if they want.
04:52I know. I'm going to pretend to go for a walk on the moon.
04:57Imagine all that cheese.
05:04Hello. What's this?
05:09It's a little windmill. Look. The wind's blowing the sails round.
05:16Wuh! Wuh! Wuh!
05:19Now I'm pretending to be the wind.
05:21Wuh! Wuh! Wuh!
05:23Blowing everything about.
05:26Wuh-wuh-wuh windmill.
05:28It's exactly what we need for the wuh sound.
05:35Oh, look. Over here. Someone's left a little house for me.
05:42Hmm. It's certainly your size, Bee.
05:45If I could just get it to stand up, I could go in.
05:51Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.
05:57Let me try.
06:00Let me try.
06:00Hmm. Uh-oh.
06:02Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.
06:09Hmm. There.
06:11Oh, dear. It's not a house.
06:14Not a house?
06:15Sorry, Bee. It's a clock.
06:18Oh, what a pity. Is it still ticking?
06:26Yes, it is still ticking. What's the little door for?
06:33I don't know. Maybe it's where the ticking is coming from.
06:41Oh, I'd be careful if I were you.
06:45If I could just open this door a little way, I'd be able to...
06:57It's not funny. Get me out, get me out.
07:02Just wait until we get the picture of the cooker you wanted.
07:06Oh, very well. But please hurry.
07:09Okay, hang on.
07:17Well, we didn't find the first cuckoo of spring, but we found a springy cuckoo.
07:23The little cuckoo is on a spring.
07:26S-p-r-i-n.
07:29And the n-ng sound is made with a n and a g.
07:35Now, I must get on and finish book five.
07:38You can practice your letters with the stencilettes I've been making.
07:52The is easy to remember.
07:56Yes, just down and up.
08:00The in van.
08:04Hmm.
08:06Doc.
08:08That's d-o-c.
08:12One, two, three.
08:15Hmm.
08:17Caterpillar letters.
08:19Hmm.
08:19I must remember to start with the caterpillar c.
08:30Fan.
08:31Fan.
08:32That was fun.
08:44Oh.
08:47Oh.
08:49There's my picture of Vic the van driver steering his van.
08:57Oh.
08:58Oh.
08:59Sorry, snake.
09:02What's that letter?
09:04That's w.
09:05Which is called double u.
09:08Hmm.
09:09Really, it looks like double v.
09:12That's right.
09:13And you write it like two v's.
09:16Hmm.
09:18Just blow on your hand like the wind.
09:20And say, wha, wha, wha.
09:24Hmm.
09:25Or in your case, snake, blow on your tail.
09:27Hmm.
09:29Wha, wha, wha, wha.
09:33Ooh.
09:34How did you get a picture of the wind, Inky?
09:37I didn't know I had a face.
09:39Well, you see, it's really a face in the clouds.
09:44Have you ever seen faces in the clouds, snake?
09:48Snake?
09:49I've only ever seen faces in the mud.
09:52I'm much closer to the earth than the sky.
09:55No one can get much closer to the earth than you, snake.
10:00Oh, Sue Sue, very funny.
10:02Why does everyone make fun of me?
10:05You do such funny things, snake.
10:09Talking about funny things, it's time we had three more tricky words.
10:19There.
10:20See if you can guess them.
10:23Hmm.
10:23That's w, which goes w, so that's w, a, s, was.
10:33No, that's not right.
10:35Be?
10:36Uh.
10:39Whiz.
10:41Wes.
10:42Was.
10:43Was.
10:44Was.
10:45Right.
10:45Was.
10:47I told you it was tricky.
10:53So, to write was, you have to remember it as w, a, s.
11:01It's easier to remember some tricky words by saying them as they sound.
11:06Hmm.
11:07So, if you remember was for was, you can spell it correctly.
11:13Hmm.
11:14The next one is Wednesday.
11:18Hmm.
11:19Wed-nes-day.
11:21Hmm.
11:22And for the last one, here's a clue.
11:25It has another tricky word inside.
11:28Hmm.
11:31Ooh.
11:32That is difficult.
11:34Just try.
11:35Uh.
11:37O.
11:37T.
11:38Ot.
11:40Huh.
11:41Oh, I see.
11:42There's a the in the middle.
11:45Right.
11:45So, what is the whole word?
11:49O.
11:50O.
11:51Other.
11:52And what does that sound like?
11:54Uh.
11:57Other.
11:58Other.
11:59Other.
12:00Other.
12:00Other.
12:00Other.
12:00I got it.
12:02I got it.
12:03Good.
12:04Once again.
12:06So, that's.
12:08Was.
12:11And.
12:13Wed-nes-day.
12:15Wednesday.
12:16Yes.
12:17And.
12:20And.
12:22Very good.
12:24O.
12:27O.
12:27O.
12:28O.
12:30O.
12:31O.
12:33O.
12:35Thank you for helping me bring the cuckoo clock back.
12:38Now I'll have a cuckoo all year round.
12:41Not just in springtime.
12:44O.
12:45O.
12:46There's the cuckoo in the book.
12:49O.
12:49I don't like that page.
12:52Not with the cat waiting to pounce.
12:55Why are these letters different sizes?
12:58Because when two o's come together they can make a thin short o sound or a fat long o sound.
13:09Oh.
13:09So if they are thin letters I say o.
13:13Oh.
13:13That's easy.
13:14Not quite so easy I'm afraid.
13:18They're like that in this book.
13:20Just to help you learn.
13:23But in other books they're written the same.
13:26Just two o's.
13:28O.
13:28So.
13:29How do we know what sound to make?
13:32O.
13:32Or.
13:33O.
13:34Like the vowels.
13:36Try one way.
13:37And if it doesn't sound right.
13:39Try the other.
13:42O.
13:42O.
13:43On this page there's a good game of matching.
13:46That's a good start.
13:49O.
13:50The first is book or book.
13:55O.
13:56Ah.
13:56There's a book next to the thin o's.
13:58So it's book.
14:01O.
14:01O.
14:02Moon or moon.
14:04O.
14:05That's easy.
14:07There's the moon next to the fat o's.
14:10Very good.
14:12See if you can get them all.
14:14Start by seeing them very fast.
14:18O.
14:19O.
14:19That's good.
14:20Ha ha ha.
14:21That's good.
14:23O.
14:23Wood.
14:25Wood.
14:25Boots.
14:27O.
14:28O.
14:31O.
14:33O.
14:33Be care.
14:35Watch this.
14:35Trick or pop-up.
14:37There's a little mar
14:37Yes.
14:38Amen.
