We can build another sandcastle.
26
And this one will be even bigger and better.

This is the biggest, bestest sandcastle ever!

Nothing is going to knock this one down.

Hello, Monty!

Monty!

Our biggest, bestest sandcastle ever is all ruined!

But it's okay, Panda.
37
You will get your sandcastle.
38
And this time it will be the biggest, bestest, most amazing sandcastle ever!
39
Now, before we can leave for our holiday, we need to pack our suitcase.
40
A suitcase should carry all the things we need...
41
To have fun!
42
I'm
43
going to
44
go ahead and put it in the middle of the room. So heavy!
45
Oh, another photo from Cynthia.
46
Ooh, yummy.
47
Can we have snacks on our holiday, Gran-Gran?
48
Ooh, good idea, Jojo.
49
I think we need to make some of my famous sandwiches.
50
We'll need three sandwiches.
51
Three sandwiches?
52
One, two, three.
53
Oh, of course.
54
How could I forget Panda?
55
A slice for this sandwich, a slice for that sandwich, and...
56
Finished!
57
Here we are!
58
Adventure holiday!

Our first adventure is...

Crossing the ropey rope bridge over the deep lagoon.

97
Is that my old magazine?
98
Oh, thank you.
99
Oh, my old CD!
100
Cheers!
101
Welcome back, Nature Club.
102
What's everybody chosen to put in the time capsule?
103
I chose the Captain Chloe toy.
104
I chose my favourite magazine.
105
And I've done a drawing of Panda!
106
Great choices everyone.
107
Oh!
108
Oh!
109
And look at this.
110
Oh, I recognise this handwriting.
111
JoJo's Grandad wrote this.
112
Can you read it, Gran-Gran?
113
It says, hello to the new Nature Club.
114
We hope you enjoy the items we have left behind for you to discover.
115
Hopefully you can see what life was like for us 20 years ago.
116
What a legend.
117
I remember Grandad writing that.
118
Jared!
119
We thought it would be good for the old Nature Club to come and meet the new one.
120
And you can see what we're going to put in our time capsule.
121
I think we need a photo to celebrate.
122
Say, time capsule!
123
Time capsule!
124
Mmm, smell that sea air.
125
Okay, beachcombers, where shall we start?
126
Hmm...
127
Where's Seagon?
128
Ah, it's out there.
129
But we can't see it because the tide is so far out.
130
Which means there's lots more beach for us to explore.
131
Yes!
132
...and keep going.
133
Oh!
134
Ah!
135
His head!
136
Your turn, Panda!
137
Your turn, Panda!
138
This way I can't change my mind.
139
You can't turn the panda.
140
No, this is a change.
141
A little bit bigger.
142
I like beachcombing.
143
There are so many things to see.
144
Like earring shells, splashy seaweed, Where shall we explore next?
145
Oh, up there!
146
I'm going
147
to go to the next video.
148
These are spices.
149
This one is cinnamon.
150
Can you remember what this is called?
151
Star anise.
152
Aha.
153
They'll help give the sorrel extra flavor.
154
Which one do you want to add?
155
Cinnamon.
156
Okay, in goes the cinnamon.
157
I think your sorrel is ready.
158
Yay!
159
Here you are, Jojo.
160
It's not too hot.
161
Oh, this is really yummy, Jojo.
162
It's even yummier than raspberry juice.
163
Mmm.
164
Can we call Great Gran Gran now? Of course.
165
Jojo, my little sunshine.
166
Great Gran Gran, we made Sorrel with my own recipe.
167
I added raspberries and cinnamon.
168
In fact, it tastes better than our Sorrel.
169
Oh, really?
170
Well, you'll have to send me the recipe.
171
Delicious!
172
This is an announcement for all passengers to St Lucia.
173
The flight is now boarding at Gate 32.
174
Yay!
175
Gate 32.
176
Oh, that's quite a long way to walk.
177
Come on, everyone. Are you okay, Jojo?
178
My feet are a bit tired.
179
Hmm.
180
I think it's time for a great break.
181
I'm going to go to the next one.
182
I'm going to go to the next one.
183
I'm going to go to the next one.
184
I'm going to go to the next one.
185
Mmm, I think it's time for a grand-grand plan.
186
You can ride in a buggy!
187
Whee!
188
This is fun, Panda!
189
Oh, gate 32!
190
We made it!
191
Is that our airplane?
192
I think so.
193
I can't wait to sit by the window.
194
Panda wants to see the clouds.
195
Goodbye, airport.
196
And hello, Santa Lisa!
197
Yay!
198
Delicious picnic!
199
Ah, so nice.
200
Now let's get set up for family cricket.
201
Yes!
202
When it's your turn to bat, you stand here in front of the wicket.
203
You can have the ball Lexi.
204
Thank you!
205
And Jojo, you can have the bat.
206
Yay!
207
And we mustn't forget the...
208
Um...
209
No. No. Urgh!
210
I think I left the wicket at Gran Gran's house.
211
Aw, T.D.
212
Oh, does that mean we can't play family cricket?
213
Oh, we can still play, Jojo.
214
We've got our bat and a ball.
215
But it won't be the same game without all the parts.
216
Don't worry, Jojo.
217
What's important is we all have fun together.
218
Exactly.
219
Hmm.
220
Ah!
221
This gives me an idea for a Gran-Gran plan.
222
We can find things to make our own wicket with bits that are on the beach.
223
Great idea!
224
Ooh!
225
Yay!
226
Yay!
227
Great swing, Jojo!

292
Thank you, Auntie Dee.
293
You're welcome.
294
I've got to run now.
295
See you both soon.
296
Bye, Auntie Dee. Are you okay, Jojo?
297
I like exercise with Auntie Dee, but the relaxing bit was quite hard, Gran Gran.
298
You have to sit still and close your eyes and breathe.
299
We're not very good at closing our eyes and sitting still, are you panda?
300
Well, there are lots of other ways to relax, Jojo.
301
Really?
302
I think it's time for a Gran Gran plan.
303

304
It's a walk where we'll pay attention to our senses.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
