When the stars come out And it's night once more

It's time to go to the School of Roars

So wake up, monsters And stretch your paws

Jump up and go to the School of Roars

School of Roars, School of Roars

It's time to go to the School of Roars

School of Roars, School of Roars

You growl and grow At the School of Roars

School of Roars, School of Roars

It's time to go to The School of Roars!

[al] Rawr!

[narrator] It was another super-snufflesome night

at the School Of Roars,

and Miss Grizzlesniff was digging up a very special surprise.

[adults groan]

Oh, my claws! Ta-da!

That's a funny-looking vegetable.

It's a time capsule.

And today's the day we're opening it.

Are you sure it's not a tin of biscuits? [slurps]

No, it's not biscuits, Yummble.

A time capsule is buried with interesting things inside it,

so it can be dug up in the future to show us how monsters used to live.

We put this time capsule in the ground when we were children.

Now, I hope you all remembered

to bring in an object that's special to you

to put into the time capsule.

[monsters] We did!

-Ohh... -What about you, Wufflebump?

Er... I couldn't think of anything to bring in, Miss Grizzlesniff.

Maybe if we look inside this one, it'll give you some ideas.

I can't even remember what I put in there.

Ooh! My old snappy camera.

Magnifique!

-Oh! Ha-ha. -Snappy-snap. Oh, yes.

Oh, that's not my best side.

[all laugh]

Ooh! My old flute.

You couldn't get me off this when we were little, remember?

[plays harsh notes]

-Ooh. -Ah.

Oh. Yeah, we certainly do. Ooh.

Ha-ha. Look at us back then!

[all laugh]

Oh, thank goodness you don't wear that funny hat anymore, Miss Grizzlesniff.

Ha-ha!

Ooh!

It still fits. Mm.

If you like these things so much, why did you put them in the ground?

We wanted to keep them in a safe place for the future.

And they help us remember how happy we were at school.

-[play harsh notes] -Ahh!

Rawr!

OK, monsters.

It's time to fetch your things for the new time capsule.

I know! I can take a picture of each object before they go in.

Ah! Oh! Oh.

Have you thought of anything yet, Wufflebump?

Not yet, Icklewoo.

I'm putting in my old dancing shoes,

'cause I love dancing.

-[laughs] -Smile!

That's a brilliant idea!

Would you like to put one in the time capsule?

Thanks, but I think you'll need both of them.

OK.

-[playing tambourine] -My special object is my tambourine.

People in the future will love dancing around to my beat.

-[plays harsh notes] -Oh! La-la-la-la-la...

Snap!

See? Monster music always cheers you up.

Thanks, Meepa,

but I still can't think of anything to put in the time capsule.

Oh.

Well, I thought everybody would be hungry in the future,

and need a treat.

Crawly cookies!

They're yum-yum-yum!

Maybe there's something in your lunch that you can send to the future.

I've got some stink cake.

That will make the time capsule smell all whiffy.

-[laughs] -Oh. You're right, Yummble.

Look, Wufflebump.

I've brought in my very first pair of binoculars.

You could spy out something for the time capsule.

Oh!

[gasps] Brilliant!

Ooh!

My favourite robot book.

It's perfect for the time capsule.

[robotic beeps and buzzes]

Say, "Stinky cheese!"

-[both] Stinky cheese! -[snap]

[both growl]

Rawr!

-[all chatter] -Quiet, monsters.

It's time to bury our new time capsule.

[all] Yay!

Now we can put in all our things!

[all chatter excitedly]

-See you later, cookies. -Bye, robot book. I'll miss you.

Oh!

Isn't that your favourite robot book?

It is!

Time for the big launch, everybody.

[all] Five, four, three, two...

Agh! Stop!

[all gasp]

I'm really sorry, but I don't want to lose my favourite thing.

[robot whirring]

Oh, don't worry, Wufflebump.

Just choose something else to put in instead.

But I couldn't think of anything else,

even with help from my friends.

Ooh, no, no, no, no!

I have run out of pictures!

That's it!

Mr Marrow, can I use your pictures, please?

Of course, but what for?

In the future,

I want to remember what was most special to me right now.

I want to put my monster classmates in the time capsule.

Er... I don't think the capsule is big enough!

And I need to be home for tea.

Hee-hee! I know that.

I'm putting in the pictures of you instead.

Icklewoo for sharing her shoes,

Meepa for cheering me up,

Yummble for remembering my lunch,

and Wingston for helping me spy my special book.

Oh, well done, Wufflebump. That's so thoughtful.

-Flutety-tootety-toot! -[plays harsh notes]

Oh! Ah!

Oh!

[laughs] Bye-bye.

Ooh!

Rawr!

[all] Three, two, one, bye!

See you in the future.

-Huh! -Thanks, everybody.

[all growl] Cuddles!

-[laughs] This calls for another tune. -[all] Oh!

Where's my flute gone?

Maybe it jumped back into the time capsule.

Then I'll just have to toot in the future.

I'll be even louder next time.

Oh, my claws.

[narrator] So, Wufflebump finally found something special

to put in the time capsule.

And one day, when the little monsters have become big monsters,

they'll be able to enjoy some very happy memories all over again.

-[all growl] - Flutey-tooty!
