Wonderful Water Adventures | JoJo and Gran Gran | BBC Kids

Very good! I'm going to show Gran-Gran my big splash now, Panda. Gran-Gran, I can't find my goggles. Oh! I have to wear them to show you my big splash. Oh, they can't have gone far. Come on, we'll look for them together. You know, Jojo, I think you could try jumping in without your goggles. But what if I get water in my eyes? Well, you've been splashing around all morning and you haven't had your goggles on. We can jump in together if you like. Then we can make an even bigger splash! Yes, let's do it! Are you ready? Ready! Splash! Did you see me and Gran-Gran make a big splash, Panda? Jojo, Gran-Gran, I'm so glad you're still here. Your goggles fell into my bag earlier. Thanks, Jared, but I don't need them now. But you might need them, Jared. What do you mean, Gran-Gran? Splash! Lovely! Well done! Right, now, Gran-Gran, steer the boat in. Okay, Ned! Yes, Gran-Gran, smashed it! Oh, thank you! Return the lock key on my side. Water! Now, you need to turn the lock key on your side, Jared. Okay! Turning the lock key on my side. Water! Wait till the water is level! We stopped moving up! You know what that means! The water is level! Right, now, push the gates open! Push the gates open! We did it! Bye! Cheers, Ned! See you later! Thanks for your help, everyone. Now we're not causing a boat jam. That was so much fun! Where are you all off to? We're going to get ice cream at the treasure chest! Hop on board, Jared! We're all getting ice cream! Lovely! Delicious picnic! Now let's get set up for family cricket! When it's your turn to bat, you stand here in front of the wicket. You can have the ball, Lexi. Thank you! And Jojo, you can have the bat! Yay! And we mustn't forget the... Um... No. I think I left the wicket at Gran-Gran's house. Does that mean we can't play family cricket? We can still play, Jojo. We've got our bat and a ball. But it won't be the same game without all the parts. Don't worry, Jojo. What's important is we all have fun together. Exactly. This gives me an idea for a Gran-Gran plan. We can find things to make our own wicket with bits that are on the beach. Great idea! That's okay. We can try again next week. But next week is ages away. I think it's time for a Gran-Gran plan. We can stay in the pool and practice swimming underwater a bit longer. Yay! I'll leave the sinkers and you can give them back in the next lesson. Thank you! Bye! Breaststroke arms, front crawl legs... Maybe I'll never be able to swim underwater. Try again, Jojo. Watch this, Panda. Water! Did you see me jump, Panda? Where is Panda? Panda's underwater. For you? I think I can do it. Got you, Panda. Gran-Gran, who makes the weather forecast? Is it magic? No. Scientists called meteorologists predict what the weather will be like. Meteor... Ologists. Meteorologists. Hey, Jojo! Gran-Gran! Where are you two off to? We're going to the park. And I'm going down the big slide. But the weather forecast says it's going to rain later, so we need to get a wiggle on. Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop. That's why I'm selling umbrellas today. Hey! Wow! Would you like one? Thanks, Jared. But I've got a plan. Of course you have, Gran-Gran. It's getting cloudy, Jojo. If we want to get to the park before it rains, we need to get a... Wiggle on! Bye, Jared! Hello, Jojo. Hello, Gran-Gran. Where are you two off to today? We're going to the playground. To slide down the big slide. Oh, the big slide! Oh, but we have to get a wiggle on. Bop, bop, bop, bop. When sunlight hits raindrops in just the right way, it creates a colourful rainbow in the sky. We don't see rainbows very often, but that's what makes them special. I hope we see another rainbow soon, Panda. Hmm. Jojo, I think it's time for a Gran-Gran plan. We might not be able to see a rainbow in the sky, but we can make our own indoor rainbow using the colours all around us. Hmm. This doesn't look like a rainbow, Gran-Gran. We've only just started. Can you remember the names of the rainbow colours? Yes! Orange! Indigo! And violet tea. Colours, Gran-Gran. And we've turned them into a colourful indoor rainbow. I love it! Look, Panda. It looks like we got here just in time. Hmm. Watch me, Gran-Gran. This! Well done, Jojo. Gran-Gran, I think the weather forecast was right. It's raining. The big slide is too wet and slippery now. Hmm. I think it's time for my Gran-Gran plan. When the weather forecast said it was going to rain, I packed your wellies and raincoat. Thanks, Gran-Gran. So now we can have fun, whatever the weather, and splash in big puddles! It was a spring morning. The blossom was on the trees. The sun was peeking through the clouds. And Jojo and Gran-Gran, that's me, were playing on the swings in the park. That's it, Jojo! You've got it! I'm going as high as the clouds, Gran-Gran. You have to keep your feet, Panda, like this. Oh, I think it's going to rain. Oh, and I haven't brought my umbrella. Oh, it's time to get a wiggle on, Jojo. Race you to the bandstand. Come on, Panda. Catching up! Done, you two! We should have checked the weather forecast, Gran-Gran. Hopefully it won't rain for long. I can already see the sun peeking through the clouds. Look, Gran-Gran! It's a rainbow! Will we see a dragonfly, Cynthia? If you're lucky, you might see one flying around, Jojo. Wow! Before we get started, these are the pond dipping rules. Always keep both feet on the ground when you're near the pond and we're going to look at our pond creatures, but we aren't going to touch them. They wouldn't like that. Did you hear that, Panda? You mustn't touch the creatures. And when you've finished, remember to wash your hands. Now, please find a space and start pond dipping. I haven't found anything yet, Gran-Gran. Maybe we need to be a bit more gentle. Well, that's right, Gran-Gran. Being gentle is really important to keep the pond creatures safe. Now, try moving the net slowly in a swirly shape. And like this. I've got something! What is it? It looks like you've found a mayfly nymph, Jojo. Wow! It hasn't got a roof. It's called a Lido. It's an outdoor swimming pool. Hey, Jojo. I've just finished my morning swim. The water's amazing today. Is it cold? Once you're in the water, you'll soon get used to it. I like to imagine it's the warm Caribbean Sea. Oh, yeah. Today, I've been doing the front crawl, breaststroke, backstroke. All the classics. Oops, sorry. I haven't learnt those yet. But I can jump in and make a big splash. Hey, that sounds fun. Enjoy your swim. Bye, Jared. There we are, all ready. Jojo! Gran Gran! Jojo! Here we are. At our ease. Crossing the ropey rope bridge over the deep lagoon. The deep lagoon. Whoa! The wind. Ready for our next holiday adventure? Ready. Wash. Wash for the waves. And now, a place to... Relax. Take a photo of our adventure holiday. And send it to Cynthia. Great idea, Jojo. Best adventure holiday ever! Ice cream! Yes! And after our ice cream, can we build more sandcastles? Not today, Jojo. The tide's coming in. The tide? The waves were much further away when we arrived. But now they're coming closer. They'll cover the whole beach soon. The whole beach? The waves will wash the sandcastle away. So when the tide goes out and the waves go back, the beach will look brand new. Oh, no. Sorry, Panda. I think it's time for a Gran Gran plan. We can take some pictures of Panda and the sandcastle, so even when the tide's washed it away, we can remember what it looked like. Yay! The tide always comes in and always goes out again. We can't change that. But we can always build another sandcastle on another day. Yay! Goodbye, sandcastle. Let's take one more picture. Say cheese. Cheese! In today's swimming lesson, we're going to learn the breaststroke. And we'll use these noodles to help. Thank you. Thanks, Reanie. Can you come in, Gran, please? Oh, OK. Panda, you're going to have to look after my bag. Right, I'll get changed. Yay! And keep going. Excellent swimming. We've got a little bit of time left. What else would you like to learn? Can we learn how to swim underwater, Reanie? Well, you've already started to learn how to swim underwater. Really? You both know how to put your faces in the water. You can do front crawl legs. Yes! Now you can do breaststroke arms. So to swim underwater, we use front crawl legs and breaststroke arms. And I've got some pirate treasure to help. Thank you. Watch how I do it. I'll throw my treasure into the deep end. Remember what Cynthia said, Jojo? Slowly in a swirly shape, I found something else. Ooh. It's this one. A diving beetle. Oh. Right, everyone. Can you please start putting all your lovely creatures back in the pond now? Oh, I don't want to go home. Well, I think these pond creatures would like to get back to their home now. Bye-bye. It was nice to meet you. Remember what we do when we've finished? Wash our hands. Did you enjoy pond dipping, Jojo? Yes. We did get to see a dragonfly. But we saw lots of other creatures that live at the pond. Oh, yeah. Maybe next time we'll see a dragonfly. It's a dragonfly. Look at its sparkly wings. Well spotted, Jojo. Look. Oh, wow. You found a dragonfly after all. Bye, dragonfly.
