In this film Nazia and Filip help Jess tidy up her home before her mum comes back!
Jess: This house is such a mess. We need to tidy up before my mum gets home in… 30 minutes! Nazia! Filip! We need to tidy up!
Nazia and Filip: Sorry Jess.
Jess: Let's start in the living room. Hmm. Can you find the pink lamp?
Filip: It's here! Behind the sofa.
Jess: Great – thanks! Nazia, can you find the blue cushions?
Nazia: They're here, under the chair.
Jess: Brilliant! The kitchen's a mess too! Where are all the spoons?! Can you find the spoons?
Nazia: They're… in the fridge. Where should I put them?
Jess: Put them in the drawer. Filip can you find the toaster?
Filip: Hmm. It's on the floor. Should I put it in the cupboard?
Jess: No, put it on the counter, please… Hmm. The bathroom looks OK. But, where's the toilet roll? Can you find it Nazia?
Nazia: The toilet roll… the toilet roll. I can't find it.
Filip: It's here – in the bath…
Jess: Okaaay. Can you find the the soap?
Nazia: It's behind the bin.
Jess: Let's wash it really well and put it next to the tap! Just look at mum's bedroom…and she's home in five minutes! Can you find her pillows?
Nazia: They're behind the curtains. Shall I put them on the bed?
Jess: Yes please. And where's her favourite yellow cap?
Filip: It's on the mirror!
Jess: Thanks – I'll put it in the wardrobe… Where are all of mum's clothes?!
Nazia: Hmm… I think they’re under the bed.
Jess: Argh! Quick! Help me put her clothes away!
Mum: Hello kids!
Jess: Hi mum!
Mum: What have you been doing today?
Jess, Nazia and Filip: Tidying!
