[00:00:03]Stop! If the way ahead is stuck, stopping doesn't mean give up. It means stepping back to find what might be blocking. [music] Stop and take a different view. Could this pattern be a clue?

[00:00:25]Could this missing piece release what needs unlocking?

[00:00:31]Stop and look. Take my time. Can I see what's next in line? Try to [music] let the pattern come in sight now.

[00:00:42]If I stop and reflect, [music] can I work out what comes next?

[00:00:49]After black and white [music] and black, is back to white now.

[00:00:58]This way.

[00:01:00]No, this way.

[00:01:01]>> Stop!

[00:01:02]Stop!

[00:01:03]If you're sure of what to do, but your friends [music] are sure as you, and you disagree on what's the best direction.

[00:01:16]If you're [music] pushing different ways, [singing] you'll be there for days and days.

[00:01:24]Stop and take a moment for reflection.

[00:01:30]Talk it through. Share your doubt. Make a plan and draw it out. Stop and you can put your heads together.

[00:01:41]Once you make things really clear, disagreements disappear.

[00:01:48]Twice the heads can make you twice [music] as clever. This way.

[00:01:55]Whee!

[00:01:57]First things first.

[00:02:00]Next things next.

[00:02:03]Last [music] of all comes last.

[00:02:07]Order is important or you'll go nowhere fast.

[00:02:12]Let's get on our way. The whole wide world awaits. Don't forget to lock the door to keep things nice and safe.

[00:02:22]First we lock the door up tight.

[00:02:26]Next we pull the front door wide.

[00:02:29]Lastly time to step outside.

[00:02:34]>> [laughter] >> That's not right. I wonder what happened there. Oh, some things have an order.

[00:02:41]You have to [music] think them through.

[00:02:43]To lock a door then open it is something you can't do. First we pull the front [singing and music] door wide.

[00:02:51]Next is time to step outside.

[00:02:55]Lastly lock the door up tight.

[00:02:59]First things first.

[00:03:03]First things [music] first.

[00:03:06]Next things next.

[00:03:09]Last of all comes last.

[00:03:13]Order is important or you'll go nowhere fast.

[00:03:20]This path is unfamiliar. Which way should we go? I've brought a map to tell us all we need to know. First we take our chosen track. [music] Next we figure out our path.

[00:03:36]Lastly open up the map.

[00:03:40]Huh?

[00:03:41]That's not right.

[00:03:44]Uh Whoa!

[00:03:47]First we open up the map.

[00:03:51]Next we choose which way to go.

[00:03:55]Lastly, take our chosen path.

[00:04:00]First things first.

[00:04:02]More directions. Arty, who are you and what can you do?

[00:04:08]I'm Arty and I can move all over the place.

[00:04:15]Hello. How might I help? Do you do?

[00:04:17]Can't wait to see some moves from you.

[00:04:20]We'll get you moving with delight.

[00:04:22]Forwards.

[00:04:23]>> Backwards. Left. And right.

[00:04:26]Hi Moving Crew. I need to find a path across this mud. Can you help? We've got your back.

[00:04:31]>> We need to know which moves and when to do them. Let's take it step by stepping stone. So, we're on this side here. And there are the stepping stones.

[00:04:43]This patch of grass still feels like a good place to start. But two moves forward took you into the mud.

[00:04:51]So, after your first move, maybe your second move should be to the side. I know which way I'd go. Me, too. Moving left would [music] take you into the mud there.

[00:05:04]So, maybe forwards, right, then forwards again. Then one more move forwards and I'll reach the other side. So, we need more than one move forwards. Lots of moves.

[00:05:19]THREE MOVES FORWARDS.

[00:05:22]COMING UP.

[00:05:24]HEY, RIGHT. Can you go next, please?

[00:05:27]Then two more moves forwards.

[00:05:31]I can't see anything wrong with that.

[00:05:33]Everybody ready? Ready.

[00:05:36]Go. Forwards.

[00:05:38]Right.

[00:05:40]Forwards.

[00:05:45]Stop.

[00:05:48]I I get to say forwards. Oh, sorry. I had to stop you. If Arty had moved forwards again, I'd have crashed into that stump.

[00:05:58]Whew. Thanks, Stop. Back to the drawing board.

[00:06:02]Why can't I get this right? I wonder. Do you need some help? Oh, yes, please.

[00:06:09]Great. Now, what is it you're trying to do again? Well, I ask the customers how many scoops they want. I scoop the ice cream into the cones. And I get a new cone ready.

[00:06:22]That sounds like a good plan. So, what's going wrong? Well, it's not the cones. I get one ready every time. Like this.

[00:06:32]I always scoop the number of scoops Little Bear tells me to.

[00:06:37]Oh, so that means It's me. I keep forgetting how many scoops people have ordered. I try, but I get muddled up. Hmm. Again, maybe you can help. You're really good at remembering numbers. I suppose I am.

[00:06:56]Cow, how many scoops of ice cream would you like? Three, please. Three. Three.

[00:07:03]Three scoops of ice cream.

[00:07:06]Cow wants three, please. Three what?

[00:07:09]Scoops, of course. Shall we? Mhm.

[00:07:14]Ready.

[00:07:16]Go. Scoop ice cream.

[00:07:19]Again. Scoop ice cream.

[00:07:22]Again. Scoop ice cream.

[00:07:26]Done. Stop. Three scoop ice cream. Just like Cow ordered. Brilliant. You can take the orders and I can deliver the ice creams. GREAT.

[00:07:40]MOO.

[00:07:41]THANK YOU. Let's try that again. What would you like, sheep? Two scoops, please. Two? Two scoops?

[00:07:49]Two.

[00:07:53]And go. Scoop ice cream.

[00:07:57]Again.

[00:07:58]Scoop ice cream.

[00:08:01]Again. Stop.

[00:08:05]Brilliant.

[00:08:07]Puddle splashing. All mouths ready? Come in.

[00:08:12]I've got my socks on, so I'm ready.

[00:08:16]Oh.

[00:08:18]My feet are all cold and wet. I told you boots are better for rain. But socks keep your feet nice and warm.

[00:08:27]Sometimes.

[00:08:32]Hold on a moment. What are you trying to do? We're trying to find the right outfit for playing in the rain. But the quicker you get ready, the quicker we can jump in puddles. I wonder, would it help if we talk it through with you?

[00:08:48]Ooh, could you? Yes. What can you do to get ready for the rain? Put on socks.

[00:08:55]Open an umbrella.

[00:08:58]Put on boots.

[00:09:03]We are >> the rainy day crew, helping keep the rain off you. So, if it's wet, then call on us. We help to keep you dry, no fuss.

[00:09:12]I'm put on socks. I'm open umbrella. And I'm put on boots.

[00:09:18]Hello, rainy day crew. The three bears need your help because >> We're going puddle splashing. Oh, boots.

[00:09:26]Boots are the best.

[00:09:27]>> No, socks are the best. No, umbrella.

[00:09:30]Stop. There must be a better way of doing this. Let's try everyone's ideas.

[00:09:36]Good thinking, but one at a time, please.

[00:09:40]So, we can see what works. Socks are the best, but I think I do need boots, too.

[00:09:48]Then, let's try them together.

[00:09:53]Are you sure you don't need me?

[00:09:55]Huh, good point. Uh, go. Ready?

[00:09:59]Oh, let's see what happens. It might be okay. Ready. Go. Put on socks.

[00:10:08]Put on boots.

[00:10:11]Socks.

[00:10:14]We've got a plan. See? We do it one row at a time, each row the same. I see. So, each row goes red, yellow, blue, red, yellow, blue, red, yellow, blue. Easy.

[00:10:27]Yikes, I'll never remember all that.

[00:10:30]Which is where we come in. Splat red.

[00:10:33]Splat yellow. Splat blue.

[00:10:36]The colors repeat three times on each row. Okay.

[00:10:41]Again, no need to worry. It's my job to remember that. Three times. Three times.

[00:10:49]Oh, very useful. Let's do it. Top row first. Ready? Ready.

[00:10:55]Go. Splat red. Splat yellow. Splat blue.

[00:11:00]Again.

[00:11:01]Splat red. Splat yellow. Splat blue.

[00:11:06]Again.

[00:11:07]Splat red. Splat yellow. Splat blue.

[00:11:11]Done. Stop. Excellent.

[00:11:15]A perfect match. That square's blue.

[00:11:19]And that's blue, too.

[00:11:21]AND LAST GOES TO OH, ARE YOU OKAY, SPLAT BLUE? I'M FINE.

[00:11:29]Let's keep going. And now, the middle line, exactly the same as before. Here we go! Splat blue!

[00:11:38]Splat red! Splat yellow! Again! Oh, no!

[00:11:43]What's happening? I don't know, but something isn't right.

[00:11:48]The colors aren't lining up!

[00:11:51]Splat yellow! Done! Stop!

[00:11:56]But, I did exactly what you said. Where are the stripes? There are stripes everywhere else except right here in the most important place.

[00:12:06]I promise we'll do our very best to fix this. I wonder. Maybe if we can work out what went wrong, we can make it right.

[00:12:15]Give it a go! Give it a play! The answers will turn up on the way. Or maybe they won't. One way to know, leap into action and give it a go!

[00:12:28]Go, frog, go!

[00:12:30]Watch it hop! Go, leaf, go!

[00:12:33]See them drop! Go, wind, go!

[00:12:35]Hear it blow! I simply love to make things go!

[00:12:40]That's a great name for me. I'm Go! And I get things started!

[00:12:47]Go, go, go!

[00:12:50]Go, bears, go! Go, dancing ring! Go, you funny hopping thing! Go, sun, go!

[00:12:57]Oh, now it's night. Go, moon, go!

[00:13:00]Shining bright! Go, stars, go!

[00:13:03]I'll make them glow!

[00:13:05]This is amazing! Go, world, go!

[00:13:08]Oops!

[00:13:09]This isn't what I wanted to happen.

[00:13:12]I said go, and it's all still going. The rain's still flowing, the flowers still growing. I said go, and the sound's still blasting. I thought of it going.

[00:13:21]How long is this lasting? I said go, and I didn't think twice. I didn't check first, didn't ask advice.

[00:13:28]One little word with enormous might. Is there one little word that can put things right? Take me back to the top. I feel ready to pop. I need to find a way to stop.

[00:13:41]>> [screaming] >> Stop.

[00:13:45]Stop.

[00:13:47]Stop.

[00:13:48]Stop.

[00:13:49]Stop.

[00:13:50]Stop.

[00:13:52]Stop.

[00:13:53]Stop.

[00:13:55]Stop.

[00:13:57]Wow.

[00:13:58]Thank you. Ooh, let's be friends. I'm Go. Pleased to meet you, Go. I'm Stop.

[00:14:05]Oh, I think this could be the start of something big. Go. And Stop.

[00:14:15]I want to do that again. Maybe we should work out how to get down first.

[00:14:23]Cool.

[00:14:30]Oof.

[00:14:31]Easy peasy.

[00:14:32]Now we can just climb back up as high as we need to.

[00:14:38]Wow.

[00:14:39]It's super slippery. Climbing back up looks hard. I think we might need another gigantic bean. No problem.

[00:14:51]There.

[00:14:53]This time, let's only grow the beanstalk as tall as we need it. One, two, three, four. Four grow leaf blocks took us as high as the tree. I'll try really hard to remember that. Four times. Four times.

[00:15:12]Wow, what's that? I don't know. I thought and then this bubble appeared.

[00:15:18]Hello, little thought bubble.

[00:15:20]Ah!

[00:15:22]Does that four mean four times? I think so. It must be how many times we need to grow. So, every time I say my name I'll take one away from that number. Let's try it. Go. Grow leaf.

[00:15:40]Again.

[00:15:41]>> Look, grow leaf. The number in the bubble Again. Grow goes down by one each time.

[00:15:48]>> Again. Grow leaf. Oh, YEAH. YES. JEN.

[00:15:51]STOP.

[00:15:53]>> [cheering] >> GOING EXACTLY four times around grew the beanstalk to exactly the right height.

[00:16:01]Great. Now can we pick the apples?

[00:16:06]Don't pick all of them, though. I want to do this again tomorrow.

[00:16:16]You've made so many different patterns that have just two colors. Those are the same colors as us.

[00:16:24]We are the Splatting Crew. We love to splat.

[00:16:27]>> Red, yellow, and blue.

[00:16:29]Lovely. The same colors as your tower of flowers, Go. That's why we came. Arty, have you got any more empty crates, please?

[00:16:38]>> I've got one left. Is that enough? Ah, thanks. But, I need more if I'm going to match my first tower.

[00:16:52]Oh, Go. Total love whatever you make for him. I wonder, could Arty make a banner using the same colors as your tower?

[00:17:02]Maybe.

[00:17:04]It's not a tower, but we can match the colors. Come on, Go. I can't give you more crates, but I can make you a banner.

[00:17:20]>> Yoohoo! Sometimes it helps to think differently. You're right, Step. Let's give it a go. What colors do you need?

[00:17:27]Red, yellow, and blue.

[00:17:33]I've got this. Three color banner!

[00:17:36]Red, red, yellow, yellow, blue, blue.

[00:17:40]Wow!

[00:17:42]Thanks, Arty. Although, red Red, yellow, yellow, blue, blue. That's not how my tower goes, is it? Hmm. No. Every color on your tower is different to the ones next to it. Oh, dear. It's okay. I'll try again.

[00:18:01]Wait. We should check the pattern again before we start. Oh. Let's think it through. What is the pattern of the tower of flowers? Starting at the top, the colors are red, yellow, and then blue.

[00:18:17]Who are you? I'm on my way to band practice.

[00:18:21]I would be if I knew how to get across this mud. Bye-bye, butterfly.

[00:18:26]>> [gasps] >> Don't worry, we do. We helped Arty find his way across, didn't we, Go? Forwards.

[00:18:34]Right.

[00:18:36]Forwards.

[00:18:38]Right.

[00:18:39]Forwards.

[00:18:41]Stop.

[00:18:43]Look. I wrote down which directions helped us last time. Let's call them.

[00:18:48]Then they can help Frog, too. Moving Crew, we need you.

[00:18:55]Here we are, the Moving Crew. We'd love to see some moves from you. Forwards.

[00:19:00]Backwards. And right. Hey, this is a familiar sight.

[00:19:05]Hi, Moving Crew. You remember the way across the stepping stones, don't you?

[00:19:10]Of course.

[00:19:13]Forwards, right, forwards, right, and forwards.

[00:19:18]That's what it says here.

[00:19:20]Is everyone ready? Ready.

[00:19:22]Go. Forwards.

[00:19:25]Right.

[00:19:26]Forwards.

[00:19:28]Right.

[00:19:31]>> [screaming] >> Stop, stop. What's wrong, Frog? Look, they're on the grass. Bugs. I don't want to squish them. Bugs, can you move, please? Oh dear, how will I get across now?

[00:19:46]Don't worry, Frog. This route very nearly got you across. So maybe it'll only need a small change to fix it.

[00:19:54]Let's go through it again, step by step.

[00:19:57]Forwards. Right.

[00:20:00]Forwards.

[00:20:01]How are you doing, Frog? So far, so good. Right.

[00:20:06]Oh, wait. If I go forwards now, I'll squish the bugs. So it's here that our route stops working. How could we change it?

[00:20:20]My name is forwards, so you know. I'm heading this way. Watch me go. My name's [music] left. My name's right. Our moves will take you out of sight. Backwards here, how do you do? Together, we're the moving crew.

[00:20:36]Thanks for coming to help. Let's get going.

[00:20:40]>> [laughter] >> Let's think this through before Arty gets on that square and starts the timer. Yes, you're probably right. Which directions does Arty need to move in to reach every square in time?

[00:20:57]After the timer started, I moved forwards.

[00:21:01]And that square lit up.

[00:21:03]Forwards, that's me.

[00:21:08]Then the fastest way to move to another square is Right.

[00:21:16]That's half the dance floor in just two moves. What next?

[00:21:20]How about I move backwards?

[00:21:26]Great. So, let's get >> Wait. The first square starts [music] the music, but it didn't light up. Maybe Arty needs to move onto it while the music is playing. So, I could move left?

[00:21:41]Let's try that.

[00:21:43]Okay. Everyone ready to dance? Ready.

[00:21:48]Go.

[00:21:49]Forwards.

[00:21:51]Right.

[00:21:53]Backwards.

[00:21:56]Left.

[00:21:58]Stop.

[00:21:59]I did it. I DID IT.

[00:22:01]YAY.

[00:22:04]SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT.

[00:22:07]THERE'S NO MAGIC BEANS.

[00:22:13]HOORAY.

[00:22:14]YAY.

[00:22:20]Magic beans. Yes. Plant them and see what we can do. Magic beans. Stop.

[00:22:32]Let's try you.

[00:22:36]Ready? Ready.

[00:22:38]Go. Grow stem.

[00:22:40]Stop.

[00:22:41]Ooh, it's a bit strange. That's what's so amazing about it. Let's try using the other grow blocks. Next bean.

[00:22:51]Go. Grow leaf.

[00:22:54]Stop.

[00:22:57]Go.

[00:22:58]Grow flower.

[00:23:00]Stop. I love these plants. They're funny. Yes, but this one looks the most like [music] a proper flower. What do you mean a proper flower? Well, more like flowers usually are. Like those ones.

[00:23:18]Hmm, I suppose.

[00:23:20]This one's a bit small though. Oh, maybe we can grow a taller one.

[00:23:26]Why don't we try two grow blocks?

[00:23:31]Go. Grow stem.

[00:23:33]Grow flower.

[00:23:35]Stop.

[00:23:36]Oh, yes. That looks good. So, stem flower is the right way to do it. Does there have to be a right way? Well, this one does look the most like a flower, doesn't it? Yes, but I want to keep trying different things out to see what will happen. Like what happens if we swap you two around?

[00:24:02]Um Go. Grow flower. Grow stem.

[00:24:08]Stop.

[00:24:09]This one looks upside [music] down.

[00:24:13]And As long as you're careful, sometimes it can be fun to be upside down. Good thinking.

[00:24:21]Everybody ready?

[00:24:22]>> Ready. Go. Split in two.

[00:24:26]Grow flower.

[00:24:27]Stop. Hooray.

[00:24:29]Wow. Split in two made the bean split into two stems.

[00:24:34]>> And then grow flower grew a flower on each stem. Two flowers at once. You were right. That was very fast. But, my plant had more than two flowers. Can we try again? Oh, oh, um let's see if more split in two blocks will grow more stems. Good thinking. Then maybe we'll get more flowers, too. Split in two?

[00:25:01]That's what I do.

[00:25:03]Woah! Let's get growing.

[00:25:07]Go!

[00:25:08]Split in two.

[00:25:10]Split in two.

[00:25:12]Grow flowers.

[00:25:13]Stop!

[00:25:15]Split in two made each of the stems split into two stems. And then, every stem grew a flower.

[00:25:25]They're really lovely, but still not as many as I had before.

[00:25:33]Don't worry, Toad. We'll keep trying as long as it takes.

[00:25:38]Oh.

[00:25:40]There's only one bean left. You mean we can only grow one more plant. We better get it right. Let's think it through. I wonder. Using one split in two grew a plant with two stems, like this.

[00:25:57]Using two split in twos made each of the stems split into two more. So, what do we think would happen if we use three split in twos? Hm. My guess is it'll make every one of these stems split into two more stems. Wow! That would be 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8 stems, which I think means we get eight flowers.

[00:26:25]Frogs go ribbit.

[00:26:28]Toads do toad.

[00:26:31]But, how does a cow go?

[00:26:33]A cow goes Go!

[00:26:42]Stop!

[00:26:45]Stop! I'm sorry. I panicked. You said go, but then I thought of all the things I could do. Whistle, unicycle, juggle water balloons. Oh, I see. No wonder.

[00:27:00]Wait, can you really unicycle?

[00:27:03]Wait. Mhm. Let's stop a moment and think it through.

[00:27:08]I wonder, would it help if we told you exactly what we want you to do? That would make it clearer. We want you to moo.

[00:27:19]You can moo, can't you? Of course. Then say it like you mean it. Who are you and what can you do? I am cow and I can Moo. They call me moo. That's what I do.

[00:27:38]When I say moo, then you moo, too.

[00:27:42]Moo. Moo. Moo. Moo. Moo. Moo. Moo. Moo.

[00:27:47]Moo. Moo.

[00:27:49]Stop.
