What's the matter?
- My tower keeps falling!
Hoo-hoo!
- Oh, dear.
You feel like you can't get those blocks to stay up, and that is frustrating.
But can you try and rebuild the tower?
♫Keep trying, you'll get better♫ -♫Keep trying, you'll get better♫ But I already tried, and it didn't work.
- Sometimes you have to keep trying before you get better.
How can we find out more about building tall block towers?
- There's a book for that!
Hoo-hoo!
My book says that big blocks on the bottom of the tower will make it strong.
Hoo-hoo, what about these?
- Those look pretty big to me!
- OK, I'll try it!
- (both): Tallest tower in the world!
- Hoo-hoo!
- I wonder what it would be like to build for real.
Hey, that gives me an idea.
Do you want to make believe with me?
Let's make believe that we're construction workers making a real building!
-♫I'm a bulldozer, I make a loud sound♫ ♫I'm great for pushing dirt and gravel around♫ -♫We all build, build, build, build, BUILD!♫ -♫I'm a crane, I move things way up high,♫ ♫I move them way up into the sky!♫ -♫We all build, build, build, build, BUILD!♫ ♫Build, build, build, build, BUILD!
YEAH!♫ - Wasn't that grr-ific?
We did such a good job.
- Nifty-galifty!
Wah!
Oh, feathers!
I just can't do this!
I'm gonna stop.
- Uh-oh.
O is getting upset.
Do you ever feel like stopping?
I think O should keep trying.
- Don't stop now O.
It might take a few tries, but you'll get it.
Remember: ♫Keep trying, you'll get better♫ -♫Keep trying, you'll get better♫ - But what if I DON'T get better?
- I think you can do this, O.
Let's look at the tower picture in your book again.
What do you notice about these blocks?
- They're not falling down.
- That's true, but how are they stacked?
- They are lying down sideways.
Hoo-hoo!
So maybe I should try building with the blocks lying down sideways.
- (Daniel and Harriet): Try it!
- OK, I'll keep trying.
♫Keep trying, you'll get better♫ -♫Keep trying, you'll get better♫ - This one here... - Here you go!
- ...another one here.
Hoo-hoo!
- You're doing great, O!
- Hoo-hoo-hoo!
- Meow-meow, I like your tower, O.
- Thanks!
I only have four blocks left!
- Tallest tower in the world!
Again!
(Katerina laughs.)
(O gasps.)
- The tower!
I can't look.
- Look, O, you did it!
- Hoo-hoo!
I did do it!
♫Keep trying, you'll get better♫ I did get better!
- Tiger-tastic!
- Meow-meow!
(Daniel gasps.)
- (whispering): Tiger-tastic.
- (whispering): Meow-meow.
- (Daniel and O): Phew!
- Hoo-hoo!
- See that, O?
You kept trying and you did it!
Now don't you feel proud?
- I do!
Hoo-hoo!
