Celia the Cement Mixer is working hard on the construction site today.
She is pouring concrete into the ground to make strong foundations to build houses on
This site needs a lot of concrete, Celia, you’d better come over to the depot to get
some more.
It’s just round the corner from Gecko’s Garage!
Concrete is made from different ingredients all mixed together- like a cake.
To build a good strong building, / we need good solid ground
The ingredients fill Celia’s drum, / then it churns round and round
Cement, sand, stones, and water, / create the perfect paste
Now it’s off to the construction site / there is no time to waste
Celia’s drum keeps moving / round and round, all twirly whirly
This keeps the concrete mixture / from going hard too early
She needs to get there in one hour / no messing on the way.
The construction site is not too far / so that should be ok!
Um Celia, I think there is something wrong with your drum.
It’s not supposed to be making that noise!
Perhaps you should drive back over to Gecko’s Garage so that we can take a look?
If it stops turning, then you’ll be in trouble, the concrete will be stuck solid in the drum!
Oh dear, it looks like Celia is carrying on to the construction site
Oh dear, a traffic jam, but don’t worry you still have three quarters of your time
left.
Hmmmm….your drum is still making a terrible noise.
Are you sure you won’t come back to the Garage?
We don’t want your drum to……..stop…….Uh Oh!
Celia, where are you going?!
If the concrete hardens in your drum, then you’ll be in terrible trouble, it’ll take
days to get the hardened concrete out!
We need to get you fixed up right away, back at the garage...
Oh no, Celia, what have you done?!
Your drum has stopped and now your wheel has come off!
You can’t drive to the construction site OR to the Garage!
And with a drum full of concrete you’re too heavy for Helen the Helicopter to pick
you up!
If you can’t come to the garage, then we’ll come to you!
Hold in there Celia, we’re on our way!
Our time is half gone, so we need to get that drum turning again and quickly
Go Go Mechanicals!
Fantastic, now let’s get that tyre changed
You are all fixed up now Celia, but we only have 15 minutes left.
I just can’t see how you can get to the construction site in time.
If only there was someone who could help you to get there faster!
Hooray!
Here comes Millie the Police Motorbike.
She can put on her flashing lights and clear a path through the traffic to the construction
site.
We’ll meet you there!
Phew, you made it just in time, Celia!
But that was very, very close!
I think Celia’s learned her lesson and next time there’s something wrong she’ll come
and get help from her friends at Gecko’s garage.
Thanks for joining us today.
We’ll see you again soon!
Bye!
