Birthday Buoy
Season 3 – Episode 7
What’s it all about?
Sarah, Duck and Flamingo arrange a nautical surprise for John’s birthday.
This is the episode where:
• Flamingo, Sarah & Duck take John to see Cloud Captain to go on a surprise boat trip for his birthday
• Cloud Captain makes John captain for the day, giving him the captain’s whistle
• They check the weather buoys to get the latest forecast – all the buoys predict sunshine apart from one that shows it will be foggy
• Cloud Captain gives John a birthday cake in the shape of a boat, and they all sing the birthday song
• After cake they go back on deck and see that it’s foggy! Sarah goes up to the crow’s nest to be the lookout. They can’t see the way back so John tries to ask the fog to go away with his whistle.
• The weather buoy that predicted the fog hears them and comes up to the boat – Cloud Captain apologises for not believing it earlier on
• The buoy is happy and leads them all back home
This is what we learn...
- The weather is hard to predict and it can change quickly
- Weather buoys help captains keep track of the clouds when they are out at sea – they help us to know how the weather will be
- Captains can use a whistle to give out orders to the ship’s crew
- The crow’s nest on a ship is a tall structure that’s used as a lookout
- It’s good to say sorry when we realise we’ve been wrong
