Hello everyone.
We’ve got a real problem at the garage today.
Rick the Road Roller hasn’t got any roads to roll at the construction site.
He’s really bored and now he’s here, flattening anything he can find!
Hey!
That’s my toolbox!
Riiiick!
We really need to find something useful for Rick to do, before he causes any more damage!
Hello Vicky!
Vicky the Ice Cream Van is visiting us today too.
She’s looking for something new to sell to people at the beach.
Ice Creams and lollies are ok as a treat, but Vicky wants to sell something a bit healthier
as well.
Come inside the garage, Vicky and I’ll show you what we’ve got for you!
Check out the Rainbow Smoothie Trailer 3000!
It can hold six different types of smoothie - made with yummy, healthy fruit!
The perfect drink to cool people down during a hot day at the beach!
What’s the matter Vicky, don’t you like it?
Oh, I see.
You like the smoothie trailer...but it’s empty!
Hmmm....how are we going to make the smoothies?
My truck friends can deliver the fruit but...we need a way to squash it into juice….that
is a problem.
Can you think of anyone who can help us to squash the fruit?....
RICK!
Of course!
That solves both our problems!
Rick gets something useful to squash and Vicky gets her smoothies!
We need a platform for Rick to stand on, so that he can squash the fruit.
Then we can park the Rainbow Smoothie Trailer 3000 underneath - to catch the juice.
This sounds like a job for the Mechanicals!
Go Go Mechanicals!
While the Mechanicals are building the platform for Rick, let’s have a look at the yummy
fruit that my truck friends are delivering
Helen the Helicopter is carrying a load of giant WATERMELONS
Florence the Forklift has crates of juicy ORANGES
Dylan the Dump Truck is carrying LEMONS, PINEAPPLES and MANGOS!
Trevor the Tractor has a trailer of crunchy APPLES and furry KIWIS
Sid the Skid Loader is loaded up with BLUEBERRIES, GRAPES and PLUMS
Max the Monster Truck has boxes of tasty BANANAS and delicious ripe RASPBERRIES
Let’s make some rainbow smoothies!
Ready Rick?
Ready Vicky?
Ready Mechanicals?
Let’s get squashing - we’ll start with RED.
Oh no, Rick is crushing GREEN fruit instead!
Ohhh!
Now I see why he was so keen, Inside the Watermelon is RED not GREEN!
Now here is a fruit with nothing to hide, It’s called an Orange and it’s ORANGE
inside!
It’s the juice I love the most, It’s yummy with my morning toast!
Lemon, Pineapple and Mango!
Rick squashes them up, the juice is YELLOW!
Watch the pipes as the liquids flow Into the trailer, down below.
Next I think it must be time For Apple and Kiwi and a hint of lime
The best juice colour I’ve ever seen!
Just like me, a lovely GREEN!
Now I don’t know what to do (Blueberry juice isn’t really BLUE)
So let’s add grapes and then a plum A PURPLE smoothie’s just as fun!
Just one more box of fruit to go Squash those raspberries, nice and slow
Add some bananas and it’s ready to drink This final one is super PINK
Fantastic!
Well done everyone!
Those smoothies look great!
“Before you head off to the beach, Vicky, I think we should do a taste test!
Mmmmm these are yummy!
The people at the beach are going to love these healthy fruity drinks
Thanks for joining us at Gecko’s Garage today, and helping us to make delicious smoothies!”
“See you again soon, Byeeeeeeeeee!”
