Oh, watch yourself there,

Sorry, Henry!

I'm playing hide-and-seek with

Charles, and I can't find him

anywhere.

Charles.

Uh, Charles, yeah, right.

Which one is he again?

Oh, you know!

Yeah, a big guy, right?

Um, no, haven't seen him, no.

Ballet slippers are great for

dancing on your toes, but my

favourite dance shoes are Irish

dance shoes.

This is me, winning a prize

at the Irish Céilidh.

I love to dance, and I'm really

quite good at it.

[Students applauding]

Thank you, Grace, for a

wonderful "In the Spotlight."

And there's more to come!

Next time, it will be Charles's

turn.

What's your "In the

Spotlight," Charles?

Is it-- is it race cars?

Vroom, vroom!

Are you gonna sing?

Um, it's a surprise.

How exciting!

TIMOTHY: You must have enough

leaves for "In the Spotlight" by

now, Charles!

I don't want to do "In the

Spotlight."

Why not?

You really, really like leaves.

I'm not good at talking in

front of everybody like you are,

Timothy.

"In the Spotlight" is scary.

Hey, kiddo.

Timothy says you're doing great.

Can I listen, too?

Don't worry, Charles.

You know all about leaves.

Yeah, but I'm not good at

Hello, boys!

How was practice?

Charles doesn't want to talk

about it.

Let Charles speak for

himself, Timothy.

He doesn't need you speaking

for him.

Yes, I do!

Huh?

Timothy can talk for me, in

the spotlight.

But I don't know about

leaves.

I do!

We can practice!

TIMOTHY: Big maple, little

maple, oak, beech, birch,

um...

Linden.

Well done, Timothy.

Mrs. Jenkins, I'm ready for

"In the Spotlight" now.

Wonderful, I'm looking

forward to it, right after

STUDENTS: Wow!

Ooh!

Charles likes leaves because

Wow, ooh!

That's a...

Oak leaf.

I know that one!

That's a big red maple leaf.

[Giggling]

You got it!

[Giggling]

No, you got it, standing on

my shoulders.

Was it up high?

All the way up on the window

ledge.

[Gasping]

Way up there?

I have a Japanese maple tree

in my garden.

I don't have one of those.

I can bring you a leaf for

your collection.

Thanks, Yoko!

I found lots of red maple

leaves.

You can have some.

Oh, thank you!

Maple trees are all over, not

like chestnut trees.

I only found a few chestnuts.

You can roast chestnuts!

And eat them!

That's right!

Tell us about another leaf,

Charles.

Okay.

This one comes from a birch

tree.

Birch bark makes great paper.

That's the last one.

STUDENTS: Aww!

The thing I like best about

leaves is how they dance!

They dance?

Wow, look at the size of this

That must have been a huge clam.

Look at this one.

That's from a mussel.

Really?

How do you know?

You can tell by the dark

I didn't know that.

Hey, let's use the shells to

make a beach.

Great idea!

This is my favourite shell.

It's amazing!

Listen, you can hear the

Wow!

Let's put it between the other

shells to protect it from the

tide.

Good idea!

There, it's safe now.

This'll be the sand bar.

Okay!

Hmm, we're going to need more

Hi, Timothy!

Hi, Fritz.

Guess what?

What?

I'm moving away!

What?!

My mom told me last night.

We're moving to a new town.

[Gasping]

Look, this is where I'm moving.

There's a beach, and a science

museum, and my mom even said

there are going to be lots of

kids my age to play with.

Isn't that great?

Uh-huh.

And my mom said my room's

going to be bigger, so that I

can have more space to do my

experiments in.

And there's a park near my

house, and a big tree in the

backyard, and shells...

Attention, everyone.

We have some special news.

Fritz is going to be moving

Huh?

Oh, no!

Is there going to be a soccer

Can you bring your toys?

Fritz can still be friends, even

Maybe I could go and visit

And maybe your parents will
