Farm is the thirteenth episode of the fifth series of Alphablocks. It is the 104th episode in the series overall.

Synopsis

N needs animals for the Alphablocks' farm. Can the singing vowels help him find them?

Plot

It was a wonderful day at a farm and A falls down from the sky. They sing a parody of Old MacDonald Had A Farm until N said to them that there were no animals in the farm! J and T appear.

j-e-t, JET! A jet appears. A cow came out of the jet. Now they need the next animal. Z and P appear.

z-i-p, ZIP! A zipper appears and chickens appear out of the zipper. P returns with a duplicate of herself.

p-o-p, POP! A sheep popped out of the bubble and began playing the piano and singing in a spotlight like an opera singer until an offscreen crowd cheered wildly with A, E, I, O, and U clapping and throwing flowers at the sheep. They still need one more animal left to go! M and D appear.

m-u-d, MUD! A pig comes out of the mud. That's the last animal on the farm! Now the farm has all the animals with the Alphablocks!

Learning Objective

Trivia

• Song: "In Alphaland there was a farm"
• B, C, F, G, H, K, L, Q, R, S, V, W, X, and Y are absent in this episode.
• D, J, M, and T only say their sound.
• No words are made with A and N.
• This is the first series 5 episode where Z speaks.
• This episode aired on the same day as Bouncy Castle, and 1 year after Fun with Colours.
• This episode is a reference to the nursery rhyme "Old MacDonald Had a Farm".
• The first three farm animals are the same three animals with "animal sound" Do Blocks in Wonderblocks: Cow (Moo), Chicken (Cluck), and Sheep (Baa). The pig is the only one not to have a character in Wonderblocks yet.
• Running gag: Whenever U is about to say his name in the song he keeps getting cut off by N and the cow, much to his dismay.

Error

• In one scene, O is seen singing words despite his usual inability to make sounds that the letter O doesn't spell.
