The three kids are in a back garden exploring something. We see them lifting a rock and looking underneath. There鈥檚 a few woodlice scuttling around underneath. The kids haven鈥檛 seen a woodlouse before.
PATRICK/BETH/KIM: Oooohhhhhhhhhhhh
PATRICK: What鈥檚 that?!
Patrick says while pointing at the woodlouse.
KIM: Hmmm鈥 It鈥檚 not a ladybird, because its got no spots.
BETH: And it鈥檚 not a spider because it鈥檚 got too many legs!
PATRICK: I wish we knew it鈥檚 name.
They all seem a bit dejected. Suddenly Beth has a eureka moment.
BETH: I know what we can do!
Beth runs off and the other two look at eachother a bit confused. Beth is inside the house looking at a bookshelf. She reaches down a book from a shelf above her, the cover reads 鈥橝 to Z of Bugs!'. Beth reappears in the garden carrying the book. She holds it out for them to see.
PATRICK: Coool! Good idea Beth.
Beth starts to flick through the book.
BETH: Hmmm, let鈥檚 see.
As they flick through they land on different bugs, and they determine why they aren鈥檛 the right one.
KIM: Not that one! That鈥檚 got wings!
PATRICK: Not that one, that鈥檚 a caterpillar!
BETH: What about this one?
Beth hold's the image up and they compare it to the bug before them. It lines up perfectly. It鈥檚 an illustration of a woodlouse with a couple of notes on it.
KIM: That鈥檚 it! That鈥檚 it! It鈥檚 a Wo鈥 Wo鈥 Hmm I can鈥檛 say that word.
They all look dissapointed. Suddenly dad comes over to them.
DAD: What鈥檚 all this then? What have you found!
Dad sounds excited and enthusiastic.
BETH: We found this bug but we didn鈥檛 know what it was so I got a fact book to help us find it. Can you help us read it鈥檚 name?
DAD: Sure I鈥檒l give it a shot. Ahh let鈥檚 see, what have we got here. Hmm yeah I think you鈥檙e right. That right there is a Woodlouse.
KIM: A what?
DAD: A woodlouse. It鈥檚 a funny little bug with a hard shell and 14 legs.
BETH: A woodlouse! Great, thanks dad!
The kids walk back to the rocks they were looking at and continue inspecting the woodlouse.
NARRATOR: Fact books are a great way to find out information about things. The 鈥橝 to Z of Bugs鈥 book helped the children find out what the mystery bug was. What books do you like to use?
As the narrator says these things, the woodlouse appears walking along the ground.
End.
