03:07We're going to a place which has big hills and lakes, so look out for a lake full of
03:17water, Pippin.
03:18Ha!
03:19Can you see a lake, Pippin?
03:32Yes!
03:37Here we are.
03:38Look how the land dips in the middle, with hills on both sides.
03:44It's called a valley.
03:49And that's where we're going.
04:02Something happened here 500 years ago.
04:07And if it hadn't happened, there might never have been any pencils.
04:15It all began here, in the valley we call Seathwaite.
04:23There were two brothers, Thomas and John.
04:27They were shepherds and they each owned a flock of sheep.
04:31Every day their sheep would feed together in the grassy valley.
04:37One day John noticed a sheep had wandered off.
04:41Thomas, he said, one of your sheep is up in the hills.
04:46You'd better go and fetch her back.
04:48That isn't my sheep, said Thomas.
04:51That's one of yours.
04:53You'd better go and fetch her back.
04:55Then they began to argue.
04:59You see, the problem was, they couldn't tell one sheep from another.
05:04They all looked the same.
05:08That night there was a terrible storm.
05:13Next morning, on the side of the hill, Thomas and John saw an old tree had been torn from
05:19the ground by the fierce wind.
05:23And there, under its roots, they saw what looked like coal.
05:30They always needed coal to make a fire to keep themselves warm and cook their food.
05:37So Thomas and John dug up as much as they could carry.
05:42When they got it home, they tried to light it, but it wouldn't burn.
05:48This isn't coal, said John.
05:52What is it?
05:55Then Thomas noticed his hands were dark grey and he said, I don't know what it is, but I
06:05know what we can use it for.
06:09He went out into the valley where the sheep were feeding.
06:14And he marked half of them with a cross.
06:18Now, John, he said, the sheep I've marked are mine and the rest are yours.
06:28So from then on, they knew who owned which sheep and they never argued about it again.
06:39The shepherds didn't know it, but they discovered a special sort of rock called graphite.
06:47It was very good at making marks which didn't come off easily.
06:59Very soon tunnels were dug deep into the hills and they began to dig up the graphite.
07:08You can still see up there on the hillside where they used to dig for graphite.
07:15I wonder what it was like in those tunnels.
07:27Oh, Pippin, I think we're in one of the tunnels deep under the ground.
07:34Pippin, Pippin, where are you?
07:45Pippin, what have you found?
08:03That's how they used to work in the underground tunnels, chipping away at the rock to dig out
08:08the graphite.
08:15Oh, whatever next?
08:23Well, once they dug up the graphite, people started using it for writing.
08:28And we still use it today.
08:32This is a factory where they use graphite to make pencils.
08:36Come on, Pippin.
08:44There's some graphite.
08:46It's being crushed and mixed with clay.
08:52When it's ready, the graphite and clay mixture is put into a machine where it's squeezed and
08:59squashed into this round shape.
09:04It's called a billet.
09:12The billet goes into a machine which squeezes and squashes it even more and cuts it up into
09:20hundreds of very thin strips.
09:29The strips are put into a hot oven to dry out.
09:37They stay there for three hours.
09:43Then they're soaked in hot wax.
09:47The wax will make them write smoothly so they won't tear the paper.
09:57And there it is.
09:58But this doesn't look like a pencil.
10:03No.
10:04It needs a wooden jacket.
10:06So the graphite strips are glued onto pieces of wood.
10:19Another piece of wood is glued on top, making a sandwich.
10:26Then the sandwich is cut up.
10:29And now they look like pencils.
10:32Then they're painted.
10:33These pencils are having yellow jackets painted on.
10:42They're all sharpened, like these green coloured pencils.
10:47And then they're ready to use.
10:50What a lot of colours!
10:55Thank you!
10:57Goodbye!
10:58Pippin's got a souvenir.
11:02Show us, Pippin.
11:07It's a piece of graphite.
11:09It looks like one of the very first pencils ever used.
11:17And I've bought a set of coloured pencils, so we can go home and finish Pippin's picture
11:23in colour.
11:24What a busy day, Pippin!
11:27There are so many things to do with pencils.
11:32Practice writing letters nice and neatly.
11:36Choose your favourite colours for a picture.
11:40Like a monster with purple handsome feet.
11:44We shall always remember the things we've seen today.
11:49Pencils made of graphite and pencils made of clay.
11:53You could all write a letter to Pippin.
11:58You could all write a letter to Pippin.
12:02Don't forget to write it nice and clearly.
12:05Use your coloured pencils for a border.
12:10Try not to make as much.
12:12Oh dear!
12:13We shall always remember the things we've seen today.
12:19Pencils made of graphite and pencils made of clay.
12:23Pippin!
12:24What are you doing?
12:28Pippin!
12:29What are you doing?
12:31It's your picture!
12:33Well, I think it looks good.
12:34It's your picture!
12:38Well, I think it looks very nice.
12:39I'll write your name on it.
12:43Pippin!
12:44It's your picture!
12:45Well, I think it looks very nice.
12:49I'll write your name on it.
12:50Pippin!
12:51It's your picture!
12:53It's your picture!
12:56Well, I think it looks very nice.
