What’s it all about?

Sarah is keen to adopt a sea creature, but doesn’t get her first choice.

This is the episode where:

• Sarah & Duck are watching funny seacow videos on their computer when they come across a sea animals adoption website

• Sarah decides that she’d like to adopt a sea animal, but all the animals she picks have already been adopted

• Sarah decides to adopt the only sea animal left – a basking shark

• Sarah & Duck get to have a video call with their adopted basking shark, but they are unsure how to talk to it

• Sarah remembers that John has a pet octopus called Taco. She asks them to join the video call to see if they can help.

• Sarah says that she thinks the basking shark sounds sad, but John notices that the shark is singing in ‘B-flat’. This gives Sarah an idea!

• Sarah grabs her tuba, Duck bangs a drum, John plays his double bass, Flamingo shakes a maraca – and the shark sings back in tune

• Soon they are having a musical conversation together, with everyone joining in!

This is what we learn...

  • Adoption is when you agree to look after someone or something
  • If you adopt an animal from a zoo or aquarium, they carry on living there but you agree to support them
  • Basking sharks have extremely big mouths – they need them for eating plankton
  • B-flat is a musical note
  • Music is a great way to communicate – especially if you don’t speak the same language
