WOMAN: We might see another cricket. Do you think we might see a cricket

if we're nice and quiet? -Alright.

-GIRL: We might see some lizards. WOMAN: How about we put Maddie there? We might see some lizards. WOMAN: We could. Alright, who needs this one? GIRL 2: Or some ladybugs. WOMAN: So if we have a look

at our snapdragons... Oh, look through there. Can you see? -GIRL: Yeah.

-Can you see anything on there? I can see something. GIRL 2: I'm going

to the sandpit to look. You want to have

a look in the sandpit? Could you see anything, Maya? -Yes, I can see something.

-You ready? (SINGS) # I'm a little teapot

Short and stout # Here is my handle

Here is my spout # When I get all steamed up

then I shout # Tip me over

Pour me out. # -Now I see something.

-Yay! (BOTH SING) # I'm a little teapot

Short and stout # Here is my handle

Here is my spout WOMAN: # When I get all steamed up

then I shout # Tip me over

Pour me out. # Oh, can you see me?

Can you see me? Peekaboo! Ready? -Peekaboo!

-(GIGGLES) Peekaboo! Where's Maya? Look. -Peekaboo!

-Hang on. Peekaboo! What's the matter, Naomi? (GIRL SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY) WOMAN: What do you need

help with, darling? Yeah. Alright,

I'll come and help you. Maya, can you sit there

with Maddie for a second? MAYA: Yes. What do you want, darling? Do you want to take it

in the fairy garden? -What?

-In the sandpit. Oh, you want it in the sandpit. -Is it too heavy?

-GIRL 3: Look at me! What's that? It's a sand castle with lots of sand. Very good. Can you take... Very good. Can you do it with

the blue one as well? Pushed down? Why did you do that? -What's that?

-Where's the blue one? WOMAN: So fill it all up with sand and we'll see if we can make

a nice tall sandcastle. Good girl. WOMAN: Who would like to go inside

and do some playdough? Because it's getting

very cold, I think. And I've got some special things

for the playdough today. I've got some feathers. Shall we go and make a garden

with our playdough since we can't play out here

now it's too cold? GIRL: I'm still going. WOMAN: You're still going? GIRL: Still going. WOMAN: Well, it is getting cold

so what if I take some sand inside and we can play with the sand inside? Would that be a good idea? -GIRL: Yeah.

-WOMAN: OK. Abi, would you like

to bring those in? And, Crystal,

would you bring those in? We'll bring some sand inside.
