And storyteller Gemma tells us a story all about finding hidden treasure in a field. - LoyaltyE4
LoyaltyKari is looking forward to going rowing with Barry, but he's changed his mind and goes to the playground instead. But it starts to rain and Barry regrets his lack of loyalty. Thankfully a gust of wind lifts Barry high into the air and plops him into Kari's boat that is doing circles on the lake. They row to an island and watch a rainbow, agreeing that things are best experienced together. We meet a Treasure Champ who is a loyal supporter of his dad's local cricket team, and another who stays in with his grandma because she has injured her leg.

A group of young Treasure Champs show adventurousness by climbing to the top of a tower on a hill, while another tries out some exciting new food with her family.

We meet two young Treasure Champs who make a 'garden perfume' for their mum, and another who creates a picture to help her younger brother communicate. Plus, storyteller Amy tells the fable of The King's Idea. - ObedienceE8
ObedienceKari is convinced that the 'no ball games' sign doesn't apply to her, but she learns her lesson when she accidentally hurts a flower. Barry teaches her that rules should be obeyed and are always there for a reason, so she goes to play with her ball in a different area, putting up her own signs to ensure there are no elephants, seagulls or giant fish - and no flowers. A group of young Treasure Champs show obedience by following instructions around a campfire in the woods, while another helps her dog to be more obedient by training it. - HonestyE9

Storyteller Ben tells the story of The Emperor and the Seed. - EmpathyE10
EmpathyKari struggles to understand why Barry is so sad after he let in lots of goals when being a goalkeeper in a football match.

She sees how upset Barry was, so helps him train to be better in the future, and afterwards he feels great!
