Cat and Bin Lorry

In this episode, our magic bag of sounds has placed us in Xavier's street. Xavier is sitting on the steps of his house with his big brother waiting to watch the bin lorry arrive and empty the bins. The bin lorry makes a lot of different sounds and there's also another sound to listen for. Can you spot all the sounds in this episode?

We link each sound with words to help develop your little one's vocabulary and engagement with the world around them.

Sing along with Lucy for the Cat and Bin Lorry song, lyrics below.

Verse 1

Today we sit together and hear

The rubbish lorry rumbling near

They pick up the bins and then lift them high

The cat hears a crash and goes running by

We give them a wave as they drive away

And wait there again for bin day.

Verse 2

Listen close to what we have heard

For every sound we learn a new word

Quiet ones, noisy ones, whistles and clangs

Booming and whispering, crashes and bangs

Our sound adventure has just begun

Let’s listen and learn everyone.
