01:14Bala Mori
01:15Here is Miss Holly to tell us that story, but how does it all begin?
01:20Is it rainy, sunny, windy, cloudy, playing outside the rain?
01:24Is today to stay at home to play, going to school, or nursery?
01:29What's the story in Bala Mori? Wouldn't you like to know?
01:32What's the story in Bala Mori? Tell us where we will go!
01:44Hello, I'm Miss Holly. Don't I know you? What's your name?
01:51Ah, yes, of course. Well, what's the story in Bala Mori?
01:56Well, today in Bala Mori, it's a cold day. And everyone here is busy going to work and school.
02:13So, I wonder what adventures we'll get up to today.
02:19Oh, what have we got here? It's a spinning top.
02:28Whee! Look how it spins around and around.
02:32It won't fall over until it stops spinning.
02:36Look at all the swirly patterns. Oh, it's starting to slow down.
02:40It'll wibble and wobble until...
02:47Ah, that was great fun.
02:51There's the school bus.
02:52I wonder who'll be coming to the Bala Mori nursery today.
02:56Megan.
02:56Good morning, Aisha.
02:58Hello, Scott.
02:59And who else, I wonder?
03:01And you, join in the fun too.
03:06Everybody, everyone, come inside and join the fun.
03:12Painting, splodging, splashing, dancing, robbing, building.
03:17Make your favourite thing.
03:19Everybody, everyone, come inside and join the fun.
03:26Singing, stories, gluing, colouring, dressing up, playing games.
03:31Make your favourite thing.
03:35Everybody, everyone, come inside and join the fun.
03:40Am I not to see?
03:41I try that too, my mom!
03:43Oh!
03:44Sounds like we have a visitor.
03:49I'll just go and see who it is.
03:51Back in a sec.
03:55Hello there, Archie.
03:56Hello, Miss Hooley.
03:57Hello, everybody.
04:02My, you look really happy today.
04:04That's because I am.
04:05I'm taking my nephew Christopher to the big city to visit the science centre.
04:09Oh, that'll be fun.
04:10Oh, I've been really looking forward to today.
04:13Well, I know someone else who might like to go to the science centre.
04:16Really?
04:16Who?
04:18Spencer's niece, Lucy.
04:19She's staying with him for a few days.
04:21Oh, brilliant.
04:21Well, the more the merrier.
04:24I say, a spinning top.
04:28Whoa.
04:29I haven't seen one of these since I was, er, well, since I was your age.
04:34Mind if I give it a spin, Miss Hooley?
04:36Be my guest.
04:37Yes.
04:41Oh, look at all the lovely patterns.
04:43Yeah, it's all, er, all swirly and whirly, isn't it?
04:45Oh, you're going to have such a fantastic time at the science centre, Archie.
04:49There's so much to see and do there.
04:51Oh, you can go on a big turntable and you can look at yourself in the funny shaped mirrors
04:55and you can even change the shape of your face by using the computer.
04:59Oh, you're all going to have so much fun.
05:03Archie?
05:05Hmm?
05:06Are you all right, Archie?
05:08Oh, whirling and swirling.
05:10Right.
05:14Er, Miss Hooley?
05:16Yes, Archie?
05:17What am I doing here?
05:19Don't you remember?
05:21Oh, that's right.
05:23I've taken my nephew Christopher to visit the science centre
05:25and you thought that Spencer's niece, Lucy, might like to come along too.
05:29That's right.
05:30Well done, Archie.
05:31Maybe you should go to see Spencer to find out if it's okay.
05:34Oh, right.
05:35Okay, well, see you later, Miss Hooley.
05:38Bye, Archie.
05:39Bye.
05:40So, which coloured house do you think Archie will visit first today?
05:50Can you see all the different coloured houses sitting by the sea?
05:55Well, this part of the story in Bala Morias pushes the house for me.
06:01Is it yellow?
06:03Is it pink?
06:04Is it orange?
06:06What do you think?
06:07Is it red, green, blue or white?
06:10Which coloured house do you think is white?
06:18Which coloured house are we going to?
06:21Tell me what do you think?
06:24Which coloured house are we going to?
06:26Tell me what do you think?
06:30It's the orange house!
06:33Yes, it's the orange house because that's where Spencer lives.
06:40Hello, Spencer.
06:41How's Trix?
06:42Hi, Archie.
06:44Oh, I'm having such a busy morning.
06:47Really?
06:48What are you up to?
06:49Well, I've got all these colours to mix and I've only done three so far.
06:54It's too bad I've got so much work to do because my niece Lucy is staying with me and I've
06:58been too busy to even take her any place nice.
07:00Well, that's what I've come to see you about, you see.
07:02I'm taking my nephew Christopher to visit the Science Centre today and we were wondering if Lucy would like to
07:08come with us.
07:08Oh, I'm sure she would love to go but isn't the Science Centre in the big city?
07:13Yes.
07:14How are you going to get there?
07:15Ah, well, it was all very carefully planned out.
07:17First of all, we're going to take a ferry to the mainland.
07:21Then, we're going to take a rather exciting walk through the city centre until we get to the Science Park
07:26and then...
07:29Sorry.
07:30That's okay, Archie.
07:32No harm done.
07:33Right.
07:34Now, you know, the big city is a very busy place.
07:37I mean, the streets are full of people, the roads are full of cars, buses, trucks, motorbikes.
07:43I mean, it's not at all like quiet little Balamori.
07:46Hmm.
07:47I hadn't thought of that.
07:49But I shall make sure that everybody crosses the road safely.
07:52Okay.
07:53Well, let's see your road drill.
07:55My road drill?
07:56Yes.
07:56You know, the green cross code, the rules that help you cross the road safely.
08:01You do know it, don't you?
08:02Oh, yes.
08:03Of course.
08:05First of all, you find a safe place to cross.
08:08And then you stop just before you get to the curb.
08:11That's right.
08:12Very good.
08:13Now, what comes next?
08:15Well, you have a good look around.
08:17Hey, hey, hey.
08:18Stay on the pavement.
08:20Oh, yes.
08:21Sorry.
08:22And you, uh, listen?
08:24Yes.
08:25Yeah, you listen.
08:26That's right, Archie.
08:27You should always listen to oncoming traffic, like the roar of a motorbike engine.
08:35Or the noise of a passing car.
08:39That's right, Archie.
08:40And if traffic is coming, you wait for it to go past, and then it goes straight across.
08:45But you shouldn't run.
08:47Oh.
08:48Oh, yes.
08:49Sorry.
08:50That's okay, Archie.
08:51You know, I think you need to practice the green cross code a little bit more before you
08:55hit the big city.
08:56Hmm.
08:57I think you might be right.
08:59Would you be able to, uh, put me through my paces a few more times?
09:01Well, I'd love to, Archie, but I really should be getting back to work.
09:05But I do know someone who can help you.
09:07Who?
09:08Who?
09:08Well, think about it.
09:10Who in Balamori knows all about traffic and crossing the road?
09:14Of course.
09:16PC Plum.
09:21I'm PC Plum, and I tell you what I've done.
09:25I've peddled round this island more than once or twice.
09:30And if you call on me, we can make a cup of tea.
09:34I'll tell you all about the bees and birds and mice.
09:42I'm PC Plum, and I tell you who I am.
09:45I'm your policeman, and I'll always be your chum.
09:50With my magnifying glass, I can look between the grass.
09:54And all the tiny beasties, we look at them run.
10:00You can bet you'll see me a-coming.
10:04On my bike, I'm riding round the town.
10:09In the country, I check on all the wildlife.
10:13The people, trees, and animals.
10:15I keep them safe and sound.
10:18Safe and sound.
10:22I'm PC Plum.
10:32PC Plum, I'm just a chicken.
10:37PC Plum, I love the country.
10:41PC Plum, be careful crossing.
10:46PC Plum, I found your doggie.
10:51PC Plum, here's your handbag.
10:56PC Plum.
11:02Oh, hello, plumbers.
11:04Oh, hello, Archie.
11:05You just caught me.
11:05I'm off out for the day.
11:07Oh, really?
11:08Where are you off to?
11:09I'm going fishing.
11:10I've been looking forward to it for ages.
11:11Fishing?
11:12Now?
11:13Uh-huh.
11:14Oh.
11:16Goodness, Archie.
11:17What was the matter?
11:18Why do you look so disappointed?
11:19Tell me, what's the story in Balamori?
11:21Well, it all started this morning when I popped into the nursery.
11:28I told Miss Hooley that I was taking my nephew Christopher to visit the science centre in the big city,
11:33over on the mainland.
11:35She thought that Spencer's niece Lucy might like to come too.
11:39So I went round to Spencer's to ask her.
11:43Spencer warned me that the big city is really busy and full of traffic,
11:47and asked me to show him my road drill.
11:49I tried to do this, but I got the Green Cross Code a bit muddled up.
11:54So Spencer said I should practice crossing the road a few more times before we go on our trip.
11:59And that's what I thought of you.
12:01When it comes to traffic and crossing roads, you're the most sensible person I know on Balamori.
12:05Do you think you'd be able to help, plumbers?
12:06Well, I'm sure I'll be able to spare a few moments to go over the Green Cross Code with you,
12:09Archie.
12:10Thanks, plums, you are a chum.
12:12Oh, now, you know, crossing the road, Archie, is very like going fishing.
12:16Is it?
12:16Yep.
12:17Great care must be taken at all times.
12:19Oh, of course.
12:19And if you're crossing the road with children, it's best you hold hands.
12:22Ah.
12:23Mm-hm.
12:24Now, if you can imagine this road here is like the bank of the river,
12:27what's the first thing we need to do?
12:29Ah, we need to make sure that we don't fall in.
12:31Exactly. So?
12:32So we need to keep back from the edge.
12:33That's right.
12:34Keep back from the edge of the road until we're ready to cross.
12:36How is this?
12:37That's excellent.
12:39Now that we're ready to cross, we need to have a real look around.
12:42Oh, yes, we need to look for traffic.
12:44That's it.
12:45And the next thing we need to do is listen.
12:50Now, what are we listening for?
12:52Well, I suppose we're listening for cars, lorries, motorcycles, buses.
12:56That's it. We're listening for traffic.
12:57And if there's anything coming, you'll let it pass.
12:59Oh, hello, Edie.
13:01Oh, no, Archie, we need to concentrate.
13:04Hmm?
13:04Oh, sorry.
13:05Now, when we can hear and see that there's nothing coming,
13:08it's safe to cross.
13:09So, we go straight across the road.
13:12Looking and listening as we go.
13:14Looking and listening as we go.
13:17Now, sit.
13:22Here we are. Now we're safe on the other side.
13:24Now, it's your turn to take me back over, Archie.
13:26Right. Give me your hand.
13:28Now, first of all, we need to look around.
13:31Listen.
13:34And then we go straight across the road,
13:36looking and listening as we go.
13:38Looking and listening as we go.
13:46Right. How did I do?
13:47Oh, I think you did very well, Archie.
13:49Oh, thanks. You've been a lot of help.
13:51I'm not sure I'm going to be able to remember the Green Cross Code all on my own.
13:54Oh, I think you'll be absolutely fine.
13:56Hmm.
13:57But if it makes it feel better,
13:58why don't I come with you to the science centre
14:00and make sure you get there safely?
14:01Oh, but what about your fishing trip?
14:03Oh, well, the fish will still be here when I get back.
14:06Oh, plumbers, you are a good sport.
14:08Come on, then. Let's go and collect those children.
14:10Come on.
14:23You know, plumbers, Spencer was right.
14:25The big city is a whole lot busier than Bella More.
14:28It certainly is, Archie.
14:30How much further do we have to walk?
14:31Ah, now we need to go across this street and then around the corner.
14:35Across this street?
14:36Yes.
14:37Well, we have to find a safe place to cross.
14:39Oh, look, there's a pelican crossing we can use.
14:42Excellent.
14:43It's always a good idea to use the proper crossing.
14:45Great, now we need to stand back from the curb.
14:46Here we go.
14:48Great.
14:49And it's also important to use the Green Cross Code
14:51when we're crossing at a proper crossing.
14:53All right.
14:54We just need to listen.
14:57There we go.
14:59And then we need to wait for the red man to change into a green man.
15:04Oh, here's the green man.
15:06Oh, there we are.
15:06We check the road is clear.
15:09Come on.
15:10Off we go.
15:11Looking around, looking all around as we cross.
15:15Ah.
15:16How was that, plumbers?
15:17Perfect.
15:18I think you did really well, Archie.
15:20Science Centre, here we come.
15:21Come on.
15:26What?
15:30Yeah.
15:35Okay.
15:36I'm so happy that you are okay.
15:39I'll be fine.
15:41I left the red man.
15:43And you're in the one in the blue.
15:46I'm sure.
15:47I'm sure.
15:48I'm sure.
15:49Oh, I am.
15:52Oh, I am.
16:09I'm hungry.
16:32Better than going fishing, eh, plumbers?
16:33Yes, and you know how much I love going fishing, Archie?
16:36I do it today, little boy.
16:45So, what was the story in Balamori today?
16:50Well...
16:53Archie popped into the nursery to tell me he was taking Christopher,
16:57his nephew, to the science centre in the Big City.
17:00I thought that Spencer's niece Lucy might like to join them.
17:04So Archie went over to find out.
17:07Spencer told Archie that the Big City was a busy place,
17:11full of traffic, and tested Archie on the rules for crossing the road safely.
17:15Archie got a bit muddled up,
17:17and Spencer thought he should practise his Green Cross code
17:20just a few more times before taking the children to the science centre.
17:24So, Archie called on PC Plum, who was a big help.
17:28He showed Archie how to cross the road safely and even agreed to go with him on the trip
17:34to make sure all the children got to make sure all the children got to the science centre safely.
17:41And Spencer was right.
17:43The Big City was very busy, full of people and cars.
17:46But Archie managed to cross the road safely with PC Plum and the children.
17:50And they all had a wonderful afternoon, having fun at the science centre.
18:00I'll just pop this back into the cupboard.
18:06And I'll be sure to use the Green Cross code when I cross the road.
18:10Bye!
18:12Bye!
