Rock Pools

Narrator: Peppa and George are going to the seaside with Granny and Grandpa Pig.

Narrator: Peppa and George love the seaside.

Peppa Pig: Oh. Where’s the sand gone?

Granny Pig: There isn’t any sand on this beach, Peppa.

Peppa Pig: No sand? But we wanted to make sand castles.

Narrator: Peppa and George love making sand castles.

(George drops the sandbox and starts crying)

Granny Pig: Now, now, George. Don’t be upset. There are lots of exciting things to do on this rocky beach.

Peppa Pig: Like what?

Grandpa Pig: When the sea goes out, it leaves little pools of water in amongst the rocks.

Granny Pig: They’re called rock pools.

Grandpa Pig: And in every rock pool there’s something special that the sea has left behind.

Peppa Pig: Oo, I can see something glittering.

Peppa Pig: It’s a coin. Wow!

Grandpa Pig: Maybe it’s a pirate’s treasure.

Granny Pig: Let’s make a collection of all the things we find.

Peppa Pig: Yes, we’ll put them in George’s bucket.

Grandpa Pig: What surprise is waiting in this pool?

Peppa Pig: There’s nothing special in this one.

Grandpa Pig: There’s always something, Peppa. Look closer.

Peppa Pig: Oo, there is something.

Grandpa Pig: Yes, it’s a...crab! Ah!

Narrator: The crab is pinching Grandpa Pig’s finger.

Grandpa Pig: Ouch!

Peppa Pig: Naughty Mr Crab.

Peppa Pig: Look, George. Mr Crab is walking sideways.

Narrator: George is pretending to be a crab.

Narrator: Peppa wants to be a crab, too.

Peppa Pig: We’re naughty crabs. Pinch, pinch, pinch.

George: Pinch, pinch, pinch.

Grandpa Pig: Help, there are two naughty crabs trying to pinch me.

George: Pinch, pinch, pinch.

Peppa Pig: We’re naughty crabs. Pinch, pinch, pinch.

Grandpa Pig: Shoo, shoo, shoo, you naughty crabs. Go back to your little rock pools.

Peppa Pig: Yes, let’s look in more rock pools.

Grandpa Pig: What can you see?

Peppa Pig: A seashell.

Granny Pig: Can you hear the sea in it?

Peppa Pig: What do you mean?

Granny Pig: If you put a shell to your ear you can hear the sea.

Peppa Pig: Wow! I can hear the sea.

Peppa Pig: I love my seashell.

Granny Pig: George, can you find a seashell too?

George: Shell.

Peppa Pig: That’s not a shell.

George: Oh.

Grandpa Pig: Peppa’s right. That’s not a shell. George has found a fossil.

Peppa Pig: What’s a fossil?

Grandpa Pig: A fossil is the remains of an animal that lived long ago, when there were dinosaurs.

George: Dinosaur, grr.

Peppa Pig: Rock pools are such fun.

Granny Pig: Yes, they’re fun for us, but not for this little fish.

Peppa Pig: A fish. Where?

Granny Pig: Poor little fish. She’s trapped.

Peppa Pig: Oh.

George: Oh.

Peppa Pig: The little fish says she wants to go back to the sea.

Grandpa Pig: Maybe you could use your bucket to rescue her.

Peppa Pig: Yes.

Narrator: Peppa is rescuing the little fish in her bucket.

Peppa Pig: Don’t worry, Mrs Fish. You’ll soon be back with your friends.

Peppa Pig: Bye-bye, Mrs Fish.

George: Bye-bye.

Peppa Pig: I love rock pools.
