On the road to knowledge with music for 3 to 6 year olds!

Today, we are going on an adventure to discover spools.

Pictures of our little adventurers in action - can you come and play with them?

🎼 Ready to move, sing and dream?

This first melody will take you on a musical discovery of the world!

🎤 Move, sing, discover!

Let's get adventurous with this second soundtrack. 😀

🎙 Read the lyrics to our music:

The lyrics of the two songs are identical, only the melodies are different.

The adventure begins with a story and discoveries for 6 - 8 year olds!

📝 Quick summary of key information

What if each spool told a secret?

A spool is like a small roll of thread. In old machines, spools were used to record information, just like we draw pictures on a piece of paper.

The spools recorded data by writing symbols or letters on the thread. These symbols could stand for sounds, words, or even pictures.

A secret message is a secret note written with special symbols or letters. For example, if you write 'H O L A' with shifted letters, it could mean 'Hello'.

Secret codes were used to keep secrets. For example, spies used secret codes to send messages that others could not understand.

To decode a secret message, you need to find the code key. For example, if you know that each letter is shifted by one place, you can replace each letter with the one right before or after it in the alphabet.

The Mysteries of the Reel Room

What if each reel tells a secret?

The Discovery of the Spools

Since their visit to the old building filled with wires and reels, a mysterious‎ (1) click caught Elio and Clara's attention. Clara found a button marked 'START' and, without hesitation, she pressed it. A light then turned on, revealing a complex‎ (2) machine filled with wires and buttons. Their endless curiosity led them to explore every corner of the old lab, where an adventure full of mysteries and puzzles‎ (3) awaited them. After discovering a hidden door, they found themselves in a room filled with spinning reels. Clara, with her sharp eye, immediately spotted a strange sequence on one of the reels.

Clara, curious, says:
« Look, Elio, letters are repeating. »

Elio, curious, watches the reels and says:
« This is weird, these letters make a rhythm. »

After watching the spools carefully, Elio has an idea. He understands that they need to line up‎ (4) the spools to reveal a secret word. Together, they discover 'LOGIC'. They now know that they must follow precise rules to decode‎ (5) the hidden messages in the spools. Clara, always ready to write secret messages, carefully writes down each letter revealed.

Clara, always ready to write secret messages, says:
« I write each letter. We must put them together. »

Elio, after watching the spools, explains:
« Yes, each spool has a part of the message. »

Not long after, they realize that each spool holds a part of the message, and they need to put them together like a puzzle. They get ready to solve the mysteries hidden in the spools.

The Message Decoding

Elio and Clara start turning the reels in all directions. They are looking for the right combination. They try to read the letters that appear. Clara writes down each letter revealed.

Clara, frowning, says:
« It's complicated, Elio. There are too many letters. »

Elio, focused, says:
« We need to make sense of all this. Look at the numbers carefully. »

Clara, determined, says:
« I will try to line them up differently. »

Elio, after thinking, suggests:
« Yes, let's try turning them the other way. »

After several tries, they discover a secret message: ‘Follow the path of zeros and ones.’ They understand they must go to the Hall of Zeros and Ones to continue their adventure. With the Turing machine demystified‎ (6), Elio and Clara, helped by a curious black cat, head towards a secret library filled with old books. They search to decode hidden messages in grids of strange symbols, ready to discover secrets buried‎ (7) in golden pages. Once in the library, they find books filled with codes and puzzles. They know that each book contains a secret to uncover. Clara, with her boundless imagination, invents new symbols to decode the messages. Elio, with his infallible logic, finds the solutions to the puzzles. Together, they are ready to solve the mysteries of the library and discover new adventures.
