00:18Oh, what's this?
00:34I wonder what that is?
00:35I must go and tell the others.
00:43Mmm, these yellow yogurts are yummy.
00:51Mmm, they are.
00:53Mmm, yummy yellow yogurts.
01:00Yuh, yuh, yuh.
01:01I wonder what makes a yuh sound?
01:08Oh, this is a yuh with a long tail that goes under the line.
01:17Thank you, Phonic.
01:19Start at the top, down, round and up.
01:22Then back down and round again.
01:26This makes a yuh sound at the beginning of words like yummy, yes and the tricky word, you.
01:35But there's a yuh at the end of yummy and it doesn't say yuh.
01:40Good for you, Snake.
01:43And a letter with two sounds must be something to do with a vowel.
01:50Yes.
01:50The letter y is a cousin of the vowel i and sometimes takes its place.
01:58Got it in one.
02:00Y is a vowel when it's replacing i.
02:04You see, i is very shy and doesn't like to be on the end of words.
02:07When shy i finds itself on the end of words, its cousin, good old Tuffy Y, takes its place.
02:15Just remember the saying, shy i and Tuffy Y.
02:22So, if the letter y isn't at the beginning of the word, like in yum, then try e like in
02:30yummy or i as in my.
02:36Guess what?
02:37Guess what?
02:38There's a circus coming to town.
02:41There was a big poster in the woods telling you all about it.
02:45Don't you mean a circus with clowns and everything?
02:48Oh, no.
02:49It was definitely kirkus.
02:52Caterpillar k.
02:54I.
02:56R.
02:57Caterpillar k.
03:00A.
03:02S.
03:03Kirkus.
03:05Hmm.
03:07Well, you spelled it correctly, B, but the word really is circus.
03:14I know the letter C isn't a vowel, but it sometimes changes its sound from k to s.
03:22It is to do with vowels though.
03:24If you get the letters E, I or Y after C, it says s.
03:30Look, there's an I after C, so it's circus, not kirkus.
03:38It's the same with the letter G. If it's followed by E, I or Y, it often changes its sound
03:48from g to j.
03:51I see. Well, anyway, there is a circus coming to town and I'd like to see it.
03:59So would I. I've never been to a circus.
04:03Neither have I, but I read a book about one. There's clowns and jugglers and acrobats and animals.
04:13Though I'm not sure about the bit about the animals.
04:16Well, we don't have to go to theirs. We could have one of our own.
04:20Yes. What a good idea.
04:24We could invite the ants.
04:26And we could make posters.
04:28Can I be a clown?
04:30Oh, I want to be a clown too.
04:32I think you should be a trapeze artist, Snake. You're good at flying through the air.
04:40Can I be in it too?
04:43You can be the ringmaster and announce all the acts.
04:49Marvelous.
04:52Ladies and gentlemen, from the far corners of the earth, we present to you...
05:00That's fine, Sonic. I'm sure you'll be great. Let's get started.
05:03Right. First we need the making box.
05:17Hi. That's h and i. Hmm.
05:23Yes. But in this case, the I is I-G-H.
05:30So that's...
05:32I. Take the joining tail. Over. Come back round. Up. Down. Under the line. And up high for the tall
05:48H.
05:52Now. Oh yes. Wire.
05:59And don't forget the magic E.
06:05Good.
06:12Hi. Wire.
06:17I see. That must be k and l for cl, cl, clown. And, and... Oh, there's d and r, dr
06:32for drum.
06:37I can't reach any higher.
06:39Look at me.
06:42Thank you, Snake.
06:43I can't reach any higher.
06:53Roll up. Roll up. Roll up.
06:55Come to the sound circus.
06:58Roll up. Roll up. Roll up.
07:01Yes. Step right this way. That's right. Just through the red curtain. Roll up. Roll up. Roll up. Roll up.
07:06Roll up. Roll up.
07:07And, oh!
07:09Welcome to the sound circus.
07:13And, oh!
07:14For your entertainment today we have the exciting X, champion Ch, shocking Sh.
07:23And the brothers Th, and Th, see the letter. Say the sound. And, now let us begin.
07:35First, from far away, the exciting...
07:42Help! Help! Help!
07:47What's going on?
07:49You two aren't the css we want.
07:52Help! Help! He wants to take my x-ray so he can see my skeleton.
07:58Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, for that very noisy interruption.
08:02Now they have gone through the exit, we can get on.
08:05First, we have fox in the box.
08:08You would wish you had x-ray eyes to see through these boxes.
08:13Now, in case there are any hens in the audience,
08:16the fox is really snake.
08:19I know he's a snake, but he's very friendly.
08:23Ooh, very friendly indeed. Into the box, fox.
08:35Now, is fox in box x?
08:41Y?
08:44Or z?
08:47X!
08:48He's in x!
08:50Box x! Box x!
08:51Oh, no! He's in y!
08:54Y!
08:56Z! Z! Z! Z! Z! Z! Z!
09:00Z! Z! Z! Z! Z!
09:03Oh, snake! You ruined the act.
09:07Ha ha ha ha ha!
09:10These foxes, they have so hot and stuffy.
09:13I don't like them in there.
09:14And I don't like this.
09:15Ladies and gentlemen, I must apologize.
09:18Uh, next time we'd better get a real fox.
09:22For our next act,
09:24straight from their windy woodland tour,
09:30let me present to you
09:32Champion Charlie and Cheerful Chips.
09:40Woo-hoo!
09:42Woo-hoo!
09:43Woo-hoo!
09:44All aboard the Choo Choo Train!
09:48See the CH on the side?
09:51Together, they make the sound CH.
09:55That's why it's called a Choo Choo Train.
10:00Woo-hoo!
10:01Woo-hoo!
10:03We're on the Choo Choo Train
10:05looking for CH words to keep the wheels turning.
10:09Woo-hoo!
10:11Look there!
10:12Is that a CH word coming up?
10:15Is there a CH in it somewhere?
10:18Yes?
10:19No?
10:20Yes.
10:20CHOOP!
10:21CHOOP!
10:22CHOOP!
10:44CHOOP!
10:45It looks a bit like Chip to me.
10:47Doesn't it, Chips?
10:48Sure does, Charlie.
10:49No!
10:51It's a CH word!
10:55Then chug it on board, Chief.
10:58And off we go again.
11:01CH!
11:01CH!
11:03CH!
11:04CH!
11:04CH!
11:04CH!
11:05CH!
11:10Oh dear!
11:12I don't think the Choo Choo Train liked that one.
11:14It couldn't have been a CH word.
11:18It was a CH!
11:23CH!
11:23CH!
11:26CH!
11:26CH!
11:27CH!
11:30CH!
11:31CH!
11:31CH!
11:34CH!
11:39CH!
11:43CH!
11:45CH!
12:08Three thick moths thought they were cloths.
12:15What do you think?
12:17Think.
12:18I will thank you to be quiet.
12:23Take that with this.
12:28This.
12:31The, the, the.
12:34You see?
12:36It's not such a tricky word after all.
12:40This is too bad. I won't have this rudeness in my circus.
12:43Well, I can be very rude.
12:47I can be ruder than that.
12:50No, you can't.
12:54My tongue comes out further than yours.
12:58Right, right, that's it.
13:00Enough's enough. Off.
13:02Go on.
13:04Off.
13:07Well, ladies and gentlemen.
13:10I must apologise for those two very rude clowns.
13:15What are you up to now?
13:19Don't, don't be silly.
13:21Don't tip water on me.
13:23It's dangerous.
13:24My electrics.
13:32It wasn't really water.
13:36I can be very rude.
13:42I could see you.
13:45Bye, bye, bye.
13:49I could do it.
13:49Bye.
13:50Bye.
