ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Zerby Derby | WATER, DIRT & MUDDY ZERBIES | Season 3 | Best of Spring | Clip Compilation
Hi there! Are you ready for a fun story? Let’s go on an adventure with our friends, Zach, Lily, Rex, and their friends! They love exploring and finding new things to do. Let’s see what they are up to today!
One day, Zach heard a whistling sound. “Is that Rex?” he wondered. But it wasn’t Rex; it was a bird! Zach looked around and found two birds. He decided to name them “Hand” and “Charis.” What fun names!
Zach and Lily were on a mission to find Rex. They thought he might be back at the hole. “I hope he didn’t waste all his time,” said Lily. They were excited to find Rex and see what he was up to!
When they found Rex, he had a big pile of sticks. “Oh no, Rex! We need rocks, not sticks,” said Zach. But Rex wasn’t worried. “We can use these sticks for something else,” he said. So, they decided to try using rocks for their scavenger hunt.
They found some rocks and watched as the water level rose, making a ball float up. “Who wants to play Derby Ball?” asked Zach. “I do!” everyone shouted. They had so much fun playing with the ball!
Next, they went to the top of a hill with their tires. Zach had a small tire, Lily had a medium tire, and Rex had a big tire. They rolled their tires down the hill. Guess what? Rex’s big tire went the farthest!
Oh no! Rex got stuck in the mud. “We need to help Rex!” said Zach. Everyone worked together to push Rex out of the mud. “Thanks, friends!” said Rex. They were all happy to help each other.
Lily had a winch to help pull things. She tried to pull herself and Zach across the mud. It was tricky, but they figured it out together. “We did it!” they cheered. Teamwork makes everything better!
Rex wanted to lift a big scoop of dirt. But it was too heavy! “I need more weight on my back to balance,” said Rex. So, they added rocks to help him lift the dirt. It worked! Rex was so happy.
Finally, they found some bark to stop the dirt from washing away. They placed the bark so the water would flow over it. “Look, it’s working!” said Zach. They solved the problem and kept the dirt safe.
After all their adventures, it was time to head back to Derby Town. “Let’s go!” said Zach. They all laughed and played as they went home. What a fun day with friends!
Remember, when you work together and help each other, you can solve any problem. Keep exploring and having fun!
Bird Watching Adventure: Go outside with your child and listen for different bird sounds. Encourage them to look around and try to spot the birds making those sounds. Ask them to describe the birds they see and hear. Can they come up with fun names for the birds, just like Zach did? This activity helps children observe nature and use their imagination.
Rock and Stick Scavenger Hunt: Organize a simple scavenger hunt in your backyard or a nearby park. Ask your child to collect different rocks and sticks. Once they have gathered their items, discuss the different shapes, sizes, and textures. How can they use these items creatively, like Rex did? This activity encourages exploration and creative thinking.
Tire Rolling Experiment: If you have access to a safe, gentle slope, try rolling different objects down the hill, such as small balls or toy cars. Ask your child to predict which object will go the farthest and why. After the experiment, discuss the results. This activity introduces basic concepts of physics and encourages children to make predictions and observations.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript, removing any unnecessary repetitions, filler words, and maintaining clarity:
—
[Music]
Oh, is that Rex whistling? It might be… oh no, that’s not Rex, it’s a bird. I wonder where it is. I don’t see it.
Maybe it’s over here, but wait, Zach, aren’t you forgetting something important? I found a bird!
See, Zach? Now there are two birds. I’m going to name this one “Hand” and that one’s “Charis.” What about Rex?
I think these are girl birds, no Rex. Oh, right, I forgot.
[Music]
I got distracted again. I don’t believe it! Hey, look at these leaves.
I don’t know, Jack, do not get distracted. Okay, we’re going to go find Rex.
Where do you think he is, Lily?
Well, let’s go back to the hole and see if he’s back there already. Oh, I hope he didn’t waste all his time.
[Music]
Okay, I got all these sticks. Uh, Zach, where’d you go?
Oh, Rex, I found you! You need to get rocks, not sticks.
Uh, I have a whole load of sticks.
Oh, you do? I’m sorry, I got distracted. I was supposed to tell you to get rocks instead, and now you have a full load of sticks. It’s all my fault.
That’s okay, Zach. It’s hard to remember when you get distracted by something. But did you waste all your time getting those sticks?
No, of course not! We can use these sticks for something else. Let me just dump them over here.
Okay, so what should we use instead?
I think we need to use rocks, but I’m not sure. Maybe we should try it first.
Oh, here, why don’t we try with the rock for my scavenger hunt?
Oh, it didn’t really raise the water very much. Maybe we should try it with some bigger rocks, like those ones there.
[Music]
Watch this! Okay, picking up the rocks… and backing up.
All right, here we go, and dumping!
Hey, it worked! Look at that, the water level rose right up and the ball floated out. Who wants to play Derby Ball?
I do!
All right, let’s do it!
Okay, I’m going to bump it. Here we go!
Hey, that’s pretty good!
Okay, I’m on a breakaway!
Hey, where are you, Zurby?
Hey, pass it back!
Okay, I got it!
Yeah, watch this!
[Music]
Wait, the water went in the water again. Does that mean I have to get another load of rocks?
No, the water level’s pretty high. It just means one of us has to go for a swim.
Oh, I’ll do it!
Okay, Lily.
So there we are on top of the hill with me and my little tire, Lily with her bigger tire, and Rex with his giant tire.
Ready, set, turbo!
And then we rolled our tires.
Okay, let me guess. You have a small tire, a medium tire, and a large tire. I think Axel’s tire went the farthest because it’s the smallest. Is that what happened?
Nope! My tire was the first to slow down. You see, it fell over, and Lily and Rex’s kept going.
Ah, so whose tire won?
Well, I thought my tire was going to win, but mine rolled into a bunch of rocks, and Rex’s just kept going and going.
Wow, so the biggest, heaviest tire went the farthest?
Yep, it went all the way to the giant mud puddle and then it fell over like sploosh! And that’s why you’re covered in mud.
What a great ending to this story!
Well, that’s not the end.
It’s not?
See, Jets went to get his tire out of the mud, but he got stuck.
Uh-oh, I’m stuck!
And we tried to push him out, but each of us only had three tires.
And that’s how he got muddy.
And that’s the end of the story.
But wait, how did you get Rex out of the mud?
We didn’t!
What?
Yeah, he’s still stuck in the mud. That’s why we came to get you.
But…
Okay, let’s try again and start at the very beginning.
So we came to get you…
No, because Rex is stuck in the mud.
The reason why was because Lily and I weren’t going to happen.
Yeah, and we thought…
No, no, no, no, no!
Zurby’s Derby’s no need to try again.
I got the whole story now. We need to go get Rex out!
Oh yeah, okay, come on, let’s go!
Uh, can you get our tires out of the bush for us? We couldn’t get them because we only have three wheels.
I was wondering why you didn’t put your tires back on.
Oh, I’m stuck in the mud, but that’s okay. I can’t get out, but we’ll find a way.
Rex, are you all right?
Oh, I’m okay. The mud feels kind of good, actually, but I wouldn’t mind getting out now.
Sorry we took so long, Rex. Zach had to help us get our tires out of the bush so we could all help you.
Yeah, and we had to tell our story, but now we can get you out. Come on, Servies!
Okay, Lily, you push Rex. Use Derby’s push. I’ll supervise. Ready, set, go!
Okay, I’m moving!
Yeah, it’s working!
[Applause]
We pushed you out of the mud!
Thanks, Herbies!
No problem, Brad. That was funny!
Okay, everybody back to Derby Town! Let’s go!
Oh yeah, come on!
Okay, uh, wait a minute, I don’t have my tire on yet.
So are you stuck?
Oh yeah, look at that! That was fast! Time to try out the winch.
Okay, first I shoot it out and hook on something.
Oh, hook it under that stick over there.
The stick?
Oh yeah, I see it!
Okay, here goes!
Whoa, great shot! And now what?
Now I turn on the winch, and the winch winds the cable back up, and I should move…
Um, am I moving?
Uh, no, the stick is moving towards you.
Oh, well that’s not how it’s supposed to work. Maybe the winch needs to warm up before it starts winching.
No, I don’t think that’s the problem. I’m going to have to tell Mika something’s wrong with this winch.
Wait, maybe we should try again.
Sure, what are you thinking?
Well, the stick is pretty light compared to you, Lily. Maybe you should try hooking onto something really heavy or something that isn’t going to move.
Oh, like that tree?
Yeah, I like the tree!
Okay, trying again… throwing winch!
Wow, you’re a great shot! I got it on the first try!
Okay, winching…
It’s working! Whoa, it’s pulling me through the mud!
Yay!
Oh, wait, stop, Lily!
Uh, what’s wrong?
I want to come too!
Oh yeah, but how can my winch get both of us across?
Uh, maybe you could piggyback me.
Okay!
Okay, but how are you going to get to me? The mud is kind of deep between us.
Uh-oh, I know what to do!
Okay, here’s the board.
Now what?
Now I just need to drive across onto you.
Oh yeah, wait, I gotta go!
Hold on, I just gotta get on your group.
Okay, I’m not quite there yet.
Don’t you… okay, pull this across the left.
I think we’re too heavy!
What?
My wheels are too deep in the mud, Zach. It’s too hard for the winch to pull both of us.
Uh, too bad.
Okay, I’ll get off.
I guess you’ll just have to go by yourself, Lily. You just have to tell me what you see when you get to the other side. I’m sure we could figure out a way.
Zach, we just have to try again!
Oh, okay!
Uh, what should we do?
Well, let me drive onto this board so I can think.
Oh, I’m not moving!
Oh, you have to let your cable on the winch out!
Oh yeah, cable out!
Okay, there! That should be enough extra cable so I can get on the board.
Let’s see… and yep!
Now how do I let go of the cable?
Is that… no, that’s not it.
Oh right, that’s not it!
Wait, Lily!
What?
You’re moving the board!
Oh yeah!
Hey, I can drag this whole board as long as I keep my brakes on so I don’t roll off it!
Maybe I can pull us both across the mud!
Oh yeah, you’re right! Hop on, Zach!
Oh, it’s a lot farther than before!
You can do it!
Okay, ready, set, turbo!
Look at that! We can kind of ride this board like a boat!
Winch away, Lily!
Hey, it’s working!
Yeah, I don’t believe it! That’s the biggest scoop I’ve ever seen!
I know! It’s ten scoops of dirt! Now I can load you up in one go!
But it looks pretty heavy. Can you lift it?
Uh, let me see…
Oh, I’m tilting! I need to try again!
Uh, what do you want to do differently?
I need more weight on my back.
More weight?
Yeah, I balance like a teeter-totter. If I’ve got more weight on my front, I need to balance it by having more weight on my back.
I just don’t know how.
Well, what if I put some rocks on your back?
Oh, how would they stay?
Maybe I could make a box to put the rocks in, you know, like your bucket.
Oh yeah, that would work!
Okay, all done! What do you think?
Oh wow, it’s amazing!
Let me try it!
Um, it’s not working.
Oh, that’s because we haven’t put in any rocks yet!
Oh right! You need more weight so the basket will hold these rocks!
And jumping!
Oh, it works! More weight on my back means I can balance more weight on my front!
Are you ready for a full load of dirt, Rex?
Yeah, load me up!
Okay, here we go!
All right, lifting!
Oh, what’s happening?
Uh, tilting again! Did the rocks fall off?
Uh, nope, the rocks are still there.
Then why?
Oh, the dirt!
What do you mean?
Well, now I’m not just trying to lift a scoop, I’m trying to lift the weight of ten scoops of dirt!
Oh, it’s much heavier!
Oh yeah, I guess I’ll have to try again!
Oh, good idea, Phil! But what do you want to do?
Add more rocks! That’ll make me even heavier at the back so I can balance all the weight at the front.
Uh, if you say so!
How’s that? Is that enough rocks?
I don’t know, Phil. That looks like a lot of rocks!
Well, let’s see if it works!
Okay, lifting up!
Oh, it’s so heavy, but I can do it!
Where?
I’m not tilting! It works!
Okay, I’ll get in position.
Okay, I got it!
I had to put it down.
I’m ready, Phil!
Okay, I’m going to drag it over to you.
[Music]
It’s really heavy!
Wow, all these rocks in this big scoop! I’m so heavy!
Okay, I’m just going to pull it a little bit further, and then you come in front of the scoop, okay, Rex?
Yeah, sounds good!
There! Now all you have to do is lift!
Okay, here it goes!
[Music]
No, it’s bark! It must have fallen off the tree!
Oh, bark! Maybe that will help! What do you think, Phil?
Hey, Servies! I found some apples!
Um, I don’t think apples are going to help in this situation, Phil.
Tell you what, Walter, why don’t you spray some water on that bark and we’ll see how it goes?
Okay!
Oh, look at that! Yeah, the water just goes down!
The bark is keeping the ground dry!
I think that’s what we need!
Hey, Phil, come over here and look at this!
Huh? What is it? Is it apples?
No, it’s not apples, Phil! It’s this bark!
We’re going to pick up this bark and take it back to the Derby Wash!
Oh, okay! I can do it!
Okay, all right!
[Music]
Okay, okay, I got it! What do I do with it?
Okay, we’re going to take it to the wash station! Let’s go!
Okay!
Are you sure we don’t need any apples?
No, we’re okay! Let’s go!
So how’s this going to work, Zach?
Well, the water will drain out of the Derby Wash and it’ll trickle down here, but see, we put the bark here so the dirt won’t get wet and washed away. The water will all go along the bark down to the cliff.
Well, let’s try it out! I need another wash anyway!
Okay, washing!
Okay, come down!
Oh no, wait! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
Whoa, whoa! What happened?
Huh? What’s going on?
Oh, the water doesn’t keep going!
Oh yeah, it just pours in between those pieces of bark.
Uh, we’ll just have to try again!
What do we do differently?
Um, maybe we could put them on top of each other!
Oh yeah!
Like, what if we just put this one underneath there and then like that?
Oh, then the water will go from this one and down to that one and down to that one and over the cliff!
Let’s see if this will work!
All right, turning on the water! Here we go!
Oh, there it is!
Okay, okay, I see it! Let’s see if it’s working!
Hey, it is! It’s going from that piece of bark to the other, to the other, and then down over the edge!
Whoa! No more erosion!
Well, it’s another problem solved, Zach!
Good work!
When you have a problem, just call Zach!
Okay, see you, Derbies, later!
Hey, look! All the water’s splashing down here at the bottom of the hill!
Hey, you know what? It’s like a second Derby!
Watch this! This is great! I’m going to get in here and watch myself too!
Derby Wash!
Hey, look at that! Turkey washer!
Wash down at the bottom! Derby Wash at the top!
