The Melon Patch
Let's learn about…

School buses!

[♪ whimsical music playing]

[ukulele strums]

Oh, hi! It's me, Ms. Appleberry,

and it's school bus day
at The Melon Patch!

[chuckles]

[speaks gibberish]

Oh, Jellybean, what are you doing here?

[speaks gibberish]

-Oh, you're waiting for the school bus?
-Yeah.

Oh! Jellybean, school buses
are big vehicles that drive kids to school

All through the town

[chuckles]

And I'm not sure
that this is a real bus stop

for a school bus!

-[♪ "Wheels on the Bus" jingle plays]
-[horn honks]

Jellybean, what do you like
about the school bus?

Is it the wheels
and how they go round and round?

-[speaking gibberish] Round and round.
-[chuckles]

Or is it the doors
and how they go open and shut?

-[speaking gibberish] Open and shut.
-[giggles]

Or maybe it's the horn

-and how it goes beep, beep, beep.
-[horn honks]

Beep, beep, beep. Beep, beep, beep.

[both chuckle]

Oh, that reminds me of something.

Hmm… What could it be?

[speaking gibberish]

"The Wheels on the Bus?"

-Wow!
-I love that song!

Do you want to sing it with me?

Great!

I've got a song. Let's sing along.

[♪ "The Wheels on the Bus" playing]

[horn honks]

See you later, Bus!

[♪ "The Wheels on the Bus" ends]

Hey, hey! It's JJ.

Do you want to play a game with me?

Yay!

Let's play JJ Sees.

I'll tell you something I see,

and you have to guess what it is.

Ready?

-JJ sees something green…
-[airplane engine sputters]

…that flies and sounds like this.

[imitates airplane engine]

[chuckles]

Yeah, it's that green airplane.

-Ooh, ooh! Now JJ sees…
-[train whistle blows]

…something red!

And it's on tracks.

-And it goes chugga-chugga-choo-choo!
-[train whistle blows]

A train! Yeah!

It's that red train! [chuckles]

Okay, last one.

-JJ sees something yellow…
-[bus horn honks]

…that has wheels and goes round and round!

-And a horn that goes beep, beep!
-[bus horn honks]

[chuckles]

Yeah!

It's the school bus!

We did it!

Thanks for playing with me.

And thanks for being my friend.

Bye! [chuckles]

[imitates car engine]

[imitates tires screeching]

Hi, explorers! It's me, Mr. Acorn.

Are you ready to explore along
with me today?

And the grass is green, the sky is blue.

It's time for exploring with me and you.

Let's explore outdoors
with this school bus.

First, we've gotta go around
the giant tree.

[imitates bus engine]

[imitates race car]

And through the dry, crunchy leaves.

Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch.

Crunch, crunch, crunch,
crunch, crunch, crunch!

Then across the bumpy rocks.

[imitates bus rumbling over rocks]

[imitates bus engine]

[imitates tires screeching]

Should the bus go down the hill?

Oh, yeah!

[imitates bus engine]

Look at it go!

[tires screech]

And into the mud?

-[imitates bus engine]
-[splats]

[Mr. Acorn] Oh, no!

Unbelievable!

Somehow, the bus got covered in mud.

You know what that means?

Car wash!

[imitates tires screeching]

[imitates bus engine]

[♪ whimsical music playing]

[imitating bus engine]

[imitates tires screeching]

Will you help me wash this bus?

Great!

First, we're gonna need to get it wet

with a big splash!

Yeah!

Now we're gonna need to scrub it

with a brush, a sponge and some soap!

Let's go!

Scrub, scrub, scrub. Scrub, scrub, scrub.

Scrub, scrub, scrub. Scrub, scrub, scrub.

Did I miss a spot?

Oh, yeah.

Scrub, scrub, scrub. Scrub, scrub, scrub.

[singsongy] Scrub, scrub, scrub,
scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub.

All right. Now, my favorite part.

We're gonna need to…

…rinse.

All right.

Rinse, rinse, rinse. Rinse, rinse, rinse.

Rinse, rinse, rinse. Rinse, rinse, rinse.

Mmm.

Whoa, look at that!

-So shiny and smooth.
-[twinkling chime]

And ready for our next adventure.

Well, thanks for all your help.

See you next time, rain or shine.

[imitating bus engine]

[♪ whimsical music ends]

Hi! I was just about to read a story.

-Would you like to join me?
-[musical question sting]

Great!

[speaking gibberish] Jellybean!

-Jellybean! [chuckles]
-[Jellybean chuckles]

[speaks gibberish]

Oh, of course you can join us.

-Yay!
-Let's get cozy.

[Ms. Appleberry chuckles]

[Ms. Appleberry] Okay.

This story is called…

[Ms. Appleberry] "Boba Bear
was a little nervous.

He was about to ride the school bus
for the first time.

Here comes the bus!"

-[Ms. Appleberry] Beep, beep! [chuckles]
-[horn honks]

-"The bus driver opens the door…
-[door opening]

…and Boba climbs up the steps.

He waves goodbye to his grandma.

The bus driver says, 'Hi, Boba,'

and helps him to find his seat.

Boba buckles his seat belt,

and the school bus begins to drive."

Mmm.

[Ms. Appleberry] "At the next stop,
Boba's friend gets on the bus."

Yeah!

[Ms. Appleberry] "Boba's not feeling
so nervous anymore.

He's having fun riding the bus
with his friend."

Whoo-hoo!

[Ms. Appleberry] "The school bus
arrives at their school,

and Boba and his friend
get off the bus together.

Boba can't wait to go to class.

And he can't wait to get back on the bus

-to ride it home." [chuckles]
-[horn honks]

Wow! Boba was so brave

-to ride the bus for the first time.
-Yeah.

And he ended up
having a lot of fun with his friend.

[speaks gibberish]

What a great story,
don't you think, Jellybean?

-[speaking gibberish] Mm-hmm.
-Yeah.

[♪ playful music playing]

Bye, school bus!

Hey, movers and shakers.

It's me, Ms. Twist.

Are you ready to get up
and move along with me?

The school bus brought us
to the train station.

Let's pretend to be trains together.

Let's pretend we're a train.

And trains have really big wheels,

so hold your arms up
to the side like this,

-and turn your wheels.
-[train wheels rattling]

Let's go!

Turn this way.

[imitating train] Chugga, chugga, chugga,
chugga, chugga.

And that way!

Chugga, chugga, chugga,
chugga, chugga, chugga.

Let's go on the tracks.

-Chugga, chugga, chugga.
-[train whistle blows]

[imitates train]

[gasps] Whoa!

We made it to a hill.

Are you ready to move your arms

really, really slowly?

Up, up, up.

We made it to the top.

Let's reach up
and grab the whistle to celebrate.

-Choo-choo!
-[train whistle blows]

And now we go down the hill fast.

[imitating train] Chugga, chugga, chugga,
chugga, chugga, chugga.

Whee! [chuckles]

We're almost at the train station.

Let's slow down just a little.

Chugga, chugga, chugga,
chugga, chugga, chugga.

Chugga, chugga.

We made it back to the train station.

Great job being a really fast
and really slow train with me.

And thank you for moving with me.

Now it's time to go.

Wave our hands up high,

and wave 'em down low.

Now let's wave goodbye,

and away we go!

[train horn whistles]

[♪ playful music playing]

[chiming]

[gasps] Did you hear that?

That means there's something
inside our Melon Learning Box.

[♪ happy music playing]

-♪ What's inside? ♪
-♪ La, la, la ♪

-♪ What's inside? ♪
-♪ La, la, la ♪

♪ What's inside ♪

-♪ The Melon Learning Box
-♪ La, la, la, la, la, la ♪

Let's look and see.

Let's see what's inside
our Melon Learning Box.

-[♪ Melon Learning Box jingle chimes]
-Oh! [chuckles]

It surprises me every time. [chuckles]

Let's see.

[♪ drumroll plays]

Whoa.

[gasps] It's a school bus!

But this isn't just any school bus.

-It's the Melon Patch Bus.
-[♪ triumphant jingle plays]

And look!

These are riders
that need to go to their schools.

Should we take them to school?

Great! Oh! But first…

[♪ "The Wheels on the Bus" jingle plays]

That's better! [chuckles]

Here we go!

Vroom, vroom, vroom!

[imitates bus engine]

-[chuckles]
-[bus horn honks]

First stop, Lily Pad School.

Have a great day at school, Froggy.

[as Froggy] Thank you, Ms. Appleberry.
Ribbit!

-[chuckles]
-[Froggy croaks]

[Ms. Appleberry] There you go!

Let's keep going.

Vroom, vroom!

Vroom!

-Second stop, the Bug School. [chuckles]
-[horn honks]

Here you go, Ladybug. Have fun at school.

[as Ladybug] Oh, thank you,
Ms. Appleberry.

[as Ladybug] I will.

[Ms. Appleberry chuckles]

Okay. Only one more passenger left.

The fairy! [chuckles]

Let's get her to school the fairy way!

Let's fly.

[♪ twinkling chime plays]

Vroom! [imitates tires screeching]

-[chuckles]
-[horn honks]

Last stop, Sky-High School.

Here you go, Fairy.
I hope you have a great day.

[as Fairy] Oh, thank you!
I'm "fairy" glad I rode the bus.

[Ms. Appleberry chuckles]

[gasps] We did it!

We drove all the students to school!

Thank you for all your help
driving the Melon Patch school bus.

-Beep, beep.
-[horn honks]

-Vroom, vroom!
-[engine revs]

Hello
Let's go

♪ Let's have some fun

It's time for…

Make-A-Long

Oh! Hello there, my little doodlebugs.

It's me, Mr. Doodad!

Are you ready for a Make-A-Long with me?

[gasps] Let's pick a material,
that's where we'll start,

because anything can make great art.

[gasps] A box!

This is a box.

A box can be anything, like…

…like a hat.

Hey! Where'd you go?

Oh, there you are.

Or… Hmm…

Oh! Or a drum.

[chuckles] Or, uh…

-Oh! It could be a house for my toy mouse.
-[mouse squeaks]

-There we go, mousey. Here we are.
-[mouse squeaks]

It looks like the mouse
is driving the house.

Ziggity zow! I see it now.

We can make a school bus.

But we're gonna need a bigger box.

[♪ drumroll plays]

-[♪ triumphant music playing]
-Oh, wow!

That is quite a big box. [grunts]

There we go!

That's much better.

Now, what can we use
to make this into a school bus?

Hmm.

Paint?

Scissors?

Glue!

We know what to do.

[♪ vocalizes
"The Wheels on the Bus" melody]

[vocalizing continues]

[♪ song ends]

Ooh, fantastic!

All right!

-Ta-da!
-[♪ triumphant jingle plays]

Or should I say, beep, beep? [chuckles]

Our school bus is missing
one very important thing.

Excuse me. Pardon me. Sorry. Excuse me.

Here we go.

All right.

It's, uh…

a bus driver!

Look at us. We made a bus.

Boxes can be so many different things.

What will you make with a box?

Toodle-oo, doodle-bugs.

-Beep, beep! Whoo!
-[horn honks]

[♪ joyful music playing]

Hi! I'm the Melon Patch bus driver,

and we're about to take a ride!

Guess who's coming with me? [chuckles]

-[gasps] It's Jellybean and Naomi.
-Hi!

[both chuckle]

Are you ready to ride?

Yeah!

Great! I've got a song. Let's sing along.

[♪ CoComelon jingle plays]

[♪ whistling]

[♪ whistling]

Yeah!

[♪ CoComelon jingle plays]

[in Spanish] Hola!

Hi! It's me, Mila!

-Do you wanna play with me?
-[musical question sting]

Yay!

-I'm pretending to be a bus driver.
-[horn honks]

Can you help me drive the bus?

All we have to do is say, "vroom, vroom"
to help me go.

Say it with me. Vroom, vroom!

Now let's be louder
and see if we can go faster.

Ready?

-Vroom, vroom!
-[car engine revs]

[chuckles]

That was fun!

This time, let's get really loud.

-Vroom, vroom!
-[car engine revs]

[chuckles]

Whoo! The loudest "vroom, vroom"
made us go faster.

It was so fast, but so fun!

Thanks for playing with me.

[in Spanish] Adios, amigos.

That means "goodbye, friends."

-Vroom, vroom!
-[car engine revs]

[imitates race car]

[chuckles]

[gasps] Oh, hi!

I'm driving
with this very silly steering wheel.

Do you want to hear the horn?

-Ready?
-[♪ drumroll playing]

-Push!
-[meows]

[chuckles]

Wait a minute.
That didn't sound like a horn beep, beep!

[meows]

-That sounds like a kitty cat!
-[meows]

[chuckles]

Let's try again.

-Ready?
-[♪ drumroll playing]

-Push!
-[moos]

[chuckles]

That didn't sound
like a horn beep, beep either!

[moos]

-That sounds like a mooing cow!
-[moos]

What a silly steering wheel!

[chuckles]

Okay, let's try one more time!

-Ready?
-[♪ drumroll playing]

-Push!
-[neighs]

Well, that definitely isn't
a horn beep, beep sound!

[neighs]

-Do you know what that sounds like?
-[musical question sting]

-A horse?
-[neighs]

Well, we have a friend that's a horse!

Neigh!

Neigh-omi! [chuckles]

Naomi, would you like to try
this very silly steering wheel?

It's being very, very silly

and not making
the right horn beep, beep sound!

[horn beeps]

That's the horn beep, beep sound!

[chuckles]

What a silly steering wheel!

-Wow!
-[car zooms past]

[snorts, whinnies]

I had so much fun playing and learning
about school buses with you today!

I know JJ and Nina did too!

[Ms. Appleberry] We learned
that school buses are vehicles

with lots of parts, like doors,

horns, and wheels that go…

Round and round

[chuckles]

We also saw how school buses
take kids to and from school,

where we learn and play with our teachers
and friends,

like you!

[Ms. Appleberry] We explored outside
with Mr. Acorn and a toy bus,

and gave it a wash when it got so muddy!

We moved fast and slow,

and up and down with Ms. Twist!

And even made our own bus
out of a big box with Mr. Doodad!

But now it's time to say goodbye.

Do you want to sing
"The Goodbye Song" with me?

Let's sing it together.

[♪ happy music playing]

-See you next time!
-[♪ music stops]
