Zou and the wind
(giggling)
- Hello, Mrs Zolli!
- Oh! Hello!
- Hello! Phew!
Hot, isn't it?!
- It certainly is!
A proper heatwave and no mistake.
Don't forget to drink plenty of water!
- Ooh! If it gets any hotter I think I'll melt!
- Bye!
- And our teacher says it's going to last for a few days, too.
- She was telling us all about the weather.
She asked us to something to do with the wind.
- That sounds like a fun project.
What are you going to make?
- Um... I haven't decided yet.
- I think I'll make one of those things
that show which way the wind's blowing.
Er... A weather vane!
Zak and Zinnia are going to come round to mine.
Mum said she'd help us.
She's got everything we'll need.
- Ooh! Well, I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Why don't you come and show us when you've made it?
I'll ask Uncle Zavier and Aunt Zelda and Mr Zoey to come round.
- Brilliant! Thanks, Mum!
(humming softly)
(chirping)
Nanna? Poc? What are you doing?
- Oh?
(Poc chirping)
(laughing softly)
- Grandpa mended this fan.
So I could get out in the sunshine.
Oh, it makes a lovely breeze!
(Zou chuckling)
- Bother!
I was sure I left it there...
- Hey, Dad!
- Yes, Zou?
- We did the weather in school today!
- The weather, eh?
So can you make it rain?
We could really do with a spot.
- Heh heh. Of course not!
But we've got a project to do.
We're going to make something to do with the wind.
- Oh! So what are you going to make?
- I don't know yet,
but I need to decide quickly:
Mum's going to ask everyone round
to see what we've all done.
- Let's see...
Er... How about a weather vane?
- No, Elzee's making one of those.
- Er... Ooh, I know!
A windmill?
- A windmill?
- Yes, look!
In the olden days they'd use windmills for making flour.
And olive oil too.
How do they work?
- See those big sails?
The wind blows them round and round
and that turns machinery inside the mill
to grind corn or press olives.
- Yay! A windmill!
I'll make one of those.
Um... Can you help me, please?
- Of course I can!
And we'll ask Grandpa to lend a hand too!
(hums softly)
- Grandpa, can you help us make a windmill?
It's for a school project.
- A windmill? What a good idea!
- We thought you might have some suitable stuff in your garage...
- Yeah. I probably have. Let's see.
I was just sorting out some old bits and pieces.
(Zou): Hey! Look!
We've already got the sails!
- Well done, Zou. You've got sharp eyes!
(chirping)
Looks like Poc's found something too!
- I think we've made a good start!
- So let's get cracking!
- Oh yes!
- Er...
- Oh, but Elzee asked us over to make our things at her house.
- Then off we go!
- Hee hee! We're going to make the best windmill ever!
(sighs)
- So... How's it going?
- We're just waiting for the sails!
- Good!
(chirping)
- There!
- Now we have to let it dry!
- You've finished?
I've still got more painting to do!
- Shall I help?
- Thanks, Zou!
- And how's your project coming along, Zinnia?
- Nearly finished!
- Me too!
- All done!
- I'd better check my sails!
Dad? Is it dry yet?
- Yup. Think so...
- Perfect!
Let's attach the sails!
There we go!
- Right... come on, everyone.
They're waiting for us.
(all): Yes!
- Ooh! I don't know how they can be so energetic in this heat!
- Yes... that seems to be okay.
- At last! I could do with a sit down!
- Mm...
- Zavier, really!
Couldn't you have put it in a bit of shade?
- Huh?
(sighs)
- Oh! Phew! I think it's getting hotter!
- Mum!
- Here they are!
(kids giggling)
- Ahem.
- May I present to you: The Weather Project!
- Hmm...
(loud bubbling)
- Zavier!
- Oh?
- So, what exactly are all these?
- Shhh! Zavier! They'll explain.
- Hmm...
(chirping)
(blowing)
- Oh... The sails aren't turning!
- And my weather vane's not moving at all!
- That's because there's no wind!
- Well, my fan works really well.
(all): Hmm...
- Ooh! Talking of fans...
Could you plug mine in for me?
- Oh dear. No, I can't I'm afraid.
The extension lead isn't long enough!
- So... what happens next?
- Well, when the wind gets up...
- I don't need any wind!
See?
I can make my own breeze!
- Then come and make some for Mummy and me, Zinni
-pops!
(groans)
- Uh...
(chirping)
Yes!
We could add a bit to it!
Don't worry everyone!
I'll soon cool you down!
Grandpa, come quick!
Hey, Dad?
- Great idea, Zou!
- But it's not going to be quite as simple as making a windmill.
- Elzee and Zak can help!
- Don't go away; we'll be right back!
- Your Dad and I can take care of the bike.
How about you painting the cage?
- Oh! Yes! Here you go.
(chirping)
This one's for you, Zak.
- Er... where's the paint?
(chuckling)
- Just here.
- What colour shall we paint it?
- Let's each pick a different colour?
- I'll have the red!
(Poc chirping)
- Ladies and gentlemen: we proudly present...
- Our pedal
-powered fan!
- Oh! My word!
It's certainly very er... interesting.
(Poc chirping)
- Ooh! It works!
- Brilliant!
- Yeah!
(panting) It's cool!
- How's that?
- Oh! Lovely!
- It really is rather impressive!
- It is rather, isn't it!!
- It's a wonderful invention, Zou!
- Can I have a go?
- Of course, Zak!
Your turn!
(Zak panting)
- You want a go now, Elzee?
- Yes, please!
- Lucky we've got plenty of pedal power!
It's really tiring making wind!
Ain't it, Nanna?
