Sarah-Jane and Go-Joe get drumming with the Mighty-Mites

Sarah-Jane Honeywell and her excitable puppet sidekick, Go-Joe, continue their journey across the UK to encourage youngsters to get off the sofa and get active this summer in the high-energy series Mighty-Mites. Encouraging children to get out and try something new, from go-karting to kite-flying and pond-dipping to pottery painting, in each episode two children – the Mighty-Mites – try an activity for the very first time.

This week's exciting activities include drumming, ballet, skateboarding and rugby.

It's noisy on Monday as Mighty-Mites Anandaleen and Alessandro get up and have a go at drumming. Go-Joe is feeling musical and when he visits his friends they form a "kitchen band" with saucepans and wooden spoons before Sarah-Jane takes them all to meet Alain, who teaches them how to play a Samba rhythm on a drum.

The Mighty-Mites are still feeling musical on Tuesday when Luca and Alanah get up and join a ballet class. Donning special dance shoes they spend a lesson doing lots of bending and stretching to music.

Young viewers can jump on board on Thursday as Mighty-Mites Margaux and Nathan trade their scooters for skateboards. Together with Sarah-Jane and Go-Joe, they learn how to jump on and off the board safely and even get to ride down some of the ramps with the instructor!

Wrapping up the week, it's time to scrum down and learn some basic rugby skills. Mighty-Mites Jack and David head off to a special children's rugby lesson where they learn how to hold the oval ball, how to score a try and how to kick a goal.
