Lesson video

Hello.

I'm Adam, and this is Panda.

We are on unit six, lesson 10 using the story, The King and the Moon.

Let's see what's on the agenda for today's lesson.

So for our warm-up today, we're going to sing the pirate fairies song we learned earlier in the unit.

Don't worry if you haven't heard it before, we'll teach you.

And that song is useful because we can use it in our storytelling.

After that, we'll have a quick look at our story maps and think about the word "because" Because we really need to use it in our storytelling.

Then after that, I will teach you a way of telling the story with me.

After that, the big challenge, you are going to be the storytellers.

And for this session, you might well need your talk teddy.

But not just yet.

Okay.

Let's do some singing.

So there are quite a few actions in this song and perhaps I can teach you some.

So at the beginning I go, "Pirates, are you ready?" And then could you go, "Aye aye, captain?" Could you try that? Pirates? Are you ready? Aye aye, captain.

Pirates.

Are you steady? Aye aye, captain.

That's your bit.

Are you part of the crew? Aye aye, captain.

Then you know what to do? And then we do some dancing.

Pirate ferries, we love the moon.

And then we do the dance.

So the pirate ferries, they dance high, they dance low.

They hoist the flag, so we do that.

We imagine that we were pulling up a flag.

We do the row.

We've got a map, so you show me your map.

We sail to sea.

We're everything a pirate fairy can be.

Okay.

It's fun.

I'm going to have to put the headphones on for this one.

So are you ready? Pirates, are you ready? Show me.

Aye aye, captain.

Pirates, are you ready? Aye aye, captain.

Pirates, are you steady? Aye aye, captain.

Are you part of the crew? Aye aye, captain.

Then you know what to do.

Pirate fairies, we love the moon.

Pirate fairies, we sing this tune.

Pirate fairies, we love the moon.

And we can dance all night.

We dance high, we dance high.

Low, we dance low.

We hoist the flag.

We do the row.

We've got a map.

We sail to sea.

We're everything a pirate fairy can be.

Repeat.

Pirates, are you ready? Aye aye, captain.

Pirates, are you steady? Aye aye, captain.

Are you part of the crew? Aye aye, captain.

Then you know what to do.

Pirate fairies, they love the moon.

Pirate fairies, they sing this tune.

Pirate fairies, they love the moon.

And they can dance all night.

They dance high, they dance high.

They dance low.

They hoist the flag.

They do the row.

They've got a map.

They sail to sea.

They're everything a pirate fairy can be.

Pirates, are you ready? Aye aye, captain.

Pirates, are you steady? Aye aye, captain.

You're part of the crew? Aye aye, captain.

And you know what to do.

Brilliant.

Fantastic.

I think before we tell the story, we better have a quick look at our own story map.

Here we go.

So here's our story map.

And we all will learn stories in different ways.

And this is a very visual way of seeing the story.

So let's start over here.

So something like, Once on an island under the moon, a crew of fairy pirates sang a love tune.

"We're pirate fairies, we love the moon." "We're pirate fairies, we love the moon." These pirates had everything.

So much gold and diamonds and treasures, but the one thing they didn't have was the thing they wanted most of all.

The moon.

And all night, they would sing and dance to the moon.

In a little hole on the beach was a crabby little crab who wasn't happy with the tune.

"Please be quiet," the crab would say.

"I can't sleep." But all night, the pirate fairies kept singing their tune.

"We're pirate fairies, we love the moon." And then one of the pirate fairies stomped almost on top of the crab.

"What was that?" The crab scuttled and scuttled and scuttled and scuttled right across the foot of a great, big, hairy gorilla.

"What was that?" cried the gorilla.

And he threw a mango high into the air.

Whee! Boing! Right onto the head of a great blue whale.

"What was that?" thought the whale.

And the whale crashed its tail.

And the whale's tail caused a wave faster and faster and bigger and bigger.

And splash! It's soaked the pirate fairies, who were angry.

"Who has made us wet?" "It was the tail of the whale," called a bird.

The pirate fairies went to see the whale.

"We are all wet, and it's all your fault." "You can't blame me" said the whale.

"Because I was hit on the head by a mango" "and it made me jump.

So don't blame me," "blame the great, big, hairy gorilla." The pirate fairies went to see the great, big, hairy gorilla.

"We are soaking wet, and it's all your fault." "You threw a mango that made a whale jump" "and splashed his tail." "The tail of the whale made a wave, and now we are wet." "It's your fault." "You can't blame me," said the great, big, hairy gorilla.

"It was the crab who made me jump" "when it scuttled across my foot." "Hmm," said the pirates.

So they went to see the crab.

"We are soaking wet, and it's all your fault." "You scuttled across the foot of" "a great, big, hairy gorilla." "The gorilla threw a mango." "It landed on the head of the whale." "And the whale's tail made a wave, and now we're wet." "You can't blame me," said the crab.

"For I only scuttled because of your horrible singing." "All night, you were singing and dancing to the moon." "And you danced and you sung so much." "You almost flattened me.

So it's your fault." "Oh," thought the pirate fairies.

But they didn't want to blame themselves.

So they looked up into the sky.

"It was the moon." "We're pirate fairies, we love the moon." "We really do love the moon, and we want the moon." And they climbed to the highest mountain.

And they tried to capture this moon, here in this net.

And as far as we know, those pirate fairies are still trying to capture the moon.

So that's the story that we made up using the King and the Moon and changing all the characters in it, but keeping the same basic story.

So that's the story map.

Now let's tell the story together.

I'll show you what to do.

So we're going to have a go at telling the story together, doing actions that might help us remember some of the words.

So put your hands together, ready for the once upon a time.

Ready? And try and say the words with me.

Once upon a time, out under the moon, a crew of pirate fairies sang a love tune.

Do that together.

Again.

Once upon a time, out under the moon, a crew of pirate fairies sang a love tune.

"We're pirate fairies, we love the moon." "We're pirate fairies, we want the moon." These pirate ferries were rich.

They had gold and silver, but they did not have the one thing they wanted.

They wanted the moon.

And all nights, they would sing.

In his little hole, a little crabby crab called, "Please be quiet." Do that together.

"Please be quiet." But did those pirates stop? No, they did not.

"We're pirate fairies, we love the moon." And then one of the pirates almost stood on the crab.

Splat.

"What was that?" Do that together.

"What was that?" He scuttled and he scuttled and he scuttled and he scuttled.

Right over the foot of a great, big, hairy gorilla.

"What was that?" cried the gorilla.

And he threw his mango high into the sky Whee! Bang! onto the head of a great blue whale.

What did he say? "What was that?" thought the whale.

and the whale crashed its tail.

The tail of the whale hit the water with a splash and a wave grew bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and then splashed all over the pirate fairies.

They were cross.

"Who has got us wet?" "It was the whale," said a bird.

So the pirate fairies went to see the whale.

"We are wet, and it's all your fault." "You can't blame me," said Whale.

"Because" "I was scared by the mango" "thrown by the great, big, hairy gorilla." The pirate fairies went to see the great, big, hairy gorilla.

"We are all wet, and it's all your fault." "You can't blame me," said the gorilla.

"It was the crab who scuttled over my foot." The pirate fairies went to see the little crab.

"We are all wet, and it's all your fault." "You can't blame me" "Because" "I only scuttled because of" "your horrible singing to the moon that you love." "And one of you almost flattened me.

So you can't blame me." "It's your fault for loving the moon." The pirate fairies, they look to the moon.

"We do love the moon." And they climbed the highest mountain.

And with fishing nets, they tried to capture the moon.

"We're pirate fairies, we love the moon." And for all we know, they're trying to get the moon now.

Well, it's a big challenge.

We've been working on this story for a few lessons now.

It's your turn to try and tell it by yourself.

Try and do the actions because we think it helps.

"What was that?" "You can't blame me." Good luck.

I'm going to pause the video.

And now it's time for you to tell the story to your talk teddy.

So how did you get on? Panda and I were wondering how you told the story because every storyteller tells it a little bit differently.

Well remember, we at the Oak academy love to see your storytelling.

Your carers, your teachers will know how to share your work with us.

So please do.

Well, this unit has had a very important word in it.

The word, "because" So we thought a really nice way to finish the unit would be to sing the "Why? Because" song.

So let's do it together.

Here we go.

We know a really useful word It's super clever.

Have you heard? The word is because, because.

Because is the word.

We know a really useful word.

It's super clever.

Have you heard? The word is because, because.

Because is the word.

Because is great because it starts to answer any why.

Because connects us to the answer, that you can't deny.

Because, because.

It starts to answer why.

It's the very best suggestion that starts to answer the question.

We know a really useful word.

It's super clever.

Have you heard? The word is because, because.

Because is the word.

Because is the word.

Because is the word.

Until next time.

Goodbye.
