[Opening Credits] Written by Atlanta Green.
[Upbeat music plays, birds chirp]
DESCRIPTION: Leaves fall from trees as a woman pushes a stroller past Jared’s shop.
GRAN GRAN NARRATES: It was an autumn day. The leaves were changing colour and falling from the trees, and Jojo and Gran Gran-- that's me-- were buying ingredients in Jared's shop.
DESCRIPTION: In the shop, Gran Gran and JoJo stand beside a fruit and vegetable display. Gran Gran puts a container in her shopping basket, and JoJo looks at a notepad.
GRAN GRAN: Okay. What's next?
[JoJo giggles]
[List Text Reads] Sugar, butter, vanilla, eggs, flour.
JOJO: I can't read it, Gran Gran.
[Gran Gran laughs]
GRAN GRAN: Oh. It says, "Flour." And then we'll have everything we need to make our biscuits.
[JoJo squees, door squeaks, clicks, upbeat music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Jared opens a door behind the counter and walks to a puddle on the floor. He puts down a yellow caution sign with a picture of a figure slipping on a puddle.
JARED: Did somebody say, "biscuits?"
JOJO: Jared!
JARED: Hey, Jojo! Gran Gran!
GRAN GRAN: Hi, Jared!
JARED: Oh, careful. I've just finished mopping the floor. It's a bit slippery.
[Hands slap]
DESCRIPTION: JoJo and Jared do a special handshake that involves slapping their hands together, fist-bumping, and a high five.
[The music stops]
JOJO: What's this, Jared? It looks like somebody dancing.
[Jared laughs]
JARED: It does, a bit.
[Gran Gran laughs]
GRAN GRAN: But what are they standing on?
[Light music plays]
JOJO: Oh! It's a slippery puddle.
GRAN GRAN: Yes.
JARED: So, this sign lets all my customers know that the floor is still wet and slippery.
JOJO: That's very clever.
GRAN GRAN: There are signs everywhere, Jojo.
JOJO: Can we look for some?
GRAN GRAN: Oh, of course.
[JoJo squees, upbeat music plays]
DESCRIPTION: In live-action, in a kitchen, a girl wears her long brown hair pulled away from her face. She wears a dark blue sweater over a pink shirt. A boy with short, dark brown hair stands beside her, wearing an orange hooded jacket.
BROWN-HAIRED BOY: A sign is like a big picture which gives you information.

SHORT-HAIRED BOY: Signs are something to keep you safe.

To her left sits a girl with long, curly, dark brown hair in a high ponytail. She wears a white T-shirt with a floral and butterfly pattern. She holds a sign with two arrows pointing in opposite directions.
CURLY-HAIRED GIRL: I think it could go this way.
DESCRIPTION: The girl with the braids turns the sign so the arrows point horizontally.
GIRL WITH BRAIDED HAIR: It could go this way.
DESCRIPTION: The curly-haired girl takes the sign back and turns it.
CURLY-HAIRED GIRL: But I think I'm positive it goes this way.
DESCRIPTION: In the yard by a swing set and picnic table, the girl with two buns and two braids holds a round blue sign featuring a white bicycle.
GIRL WITH TWO BUNS AND BRAIDS: This sign means where you could ride your bike.
[Blond-haired boy laughs]
DESCRIPTION: In the living room, the blond-haired boy turns the bicycle sign so the bike points down.
BLOND-HAIRED BOY: This sign means sideway bikes.
[Whoosh, the music ends, footsteps patter]

JOJO: Where are the signs, Gran Gran?
GRAN GRAN: They're all around us. Let's play a game and see how many signs we can spot.

JOJO: Oh, a zebra crossing! Is that a sign, too?
[Car brakes squeak]
DESCRIPTION: A black car stops at the crosswalk.

JOJO: I wish there was a panda crossing.
[Both laugh, footsteps patter, upbeat music plays]

JOJO: We spotted lots of signs.
[Pages rustle]
DESCRIPTION: Gran Gran turns a page in the book.
GRAN GRAN: They really are everywhere. Now, where is the recipe for biscuits? Ah, here we are.
JOJO: Hmm.
GRAN GRAN: What's wrong, Jojo?
JOJO: There are no pictures! I can't see what we need to do.
[Triumphant music plays]
GRAN GRAN: Hmm. I think it's time for a Gran Gran plan. Why don't we make our own signs for each stage of the recipe?
[JoJo laughs]
JOJO: Yay!
[Whoosh, upbeat music plays, scissors snip]
DESCRIPTION: JoJo draws a picture of the ingredients. Gran Gran cuts out pictures of the ingredients and the steps and attaches them to a piece of paper. The steps show stirring the dough, putting it in the fridge for 10 minutes, cutting shapes, baking for 10 minutes, and finally, the biscuits.
GRAN GRAN: Let's wash our hands and get started.
[Water splashes]

GRAN GRAN: What now, Chef Jojo?

JOJO: And I will get the timer.
[Timer creaks, eggs splat, light music plays]
DESCRIPTION: JoJo sets the timer and knocks an egg carton off the table.
JOJO: Oh, no!
[Gran Gran gasps]
GRAN GRAN: It's okay, Jojo. Accidents happen. I'll get the mop, and we can clean this up while the biscuits bake.
JOJO: I think I know what we need, Gran Gran.
(Mop rustles, JoJo hums, upbeat music plays, mop squelches, tap]
DESCRIPTION: Gran Gran mops the floor as JoJo draws. JoJo puts a drawing of a person slipping on a puddle beside the wet spot on the floor.

JOJO: No slipping, Panda.
[Timer ticks, alarm rings]
GRAN GRAN: The biscuits are ready!
[JoJo laughs]
JOJO: Yay!
[Whoosh, upbeat music plays]

JARED: Hey! My favourite bakers are back.

[Light music plays, container rustles]

[Birds chirp]
BOY NARRATES: It means children might be crossing the road.

[Click, beeps]
DESCRIPTION: The boy pushes a button at an intersection and waits for the traffic light to show a green pedestrian. He holds his mummy’s hand, and they cross together.
