Lesson video

Hello, everyone.

I'm Miss Doherty.

Today, we're going to listen to and join in with a brand new story.

I hope you're already.

In this lesson, you will need an exercise book or paper and a pencil.

Pause the video now while you go and get those items. We're going to start today's lesson with a nursery rhyme.

Then we'll listen to a story, and we'll finish by playing a game.

Today's nursery rhyme is "Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat." I'll say it first.

Then we can say it together.

Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been? I've been to London to visit the queen.

Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you there? I frightened a little mouse under her chair.

Let's do it together.

Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been? I've been to London to visit the queen.

Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you do there? I frightened a little mouse under her chair.

Can you show me your best frightened face like the mouse? Well, how about this? Or we can use our whole bodies to show we're frightened, backing away because we're so scared like the poor little mouse under the chair.

Scared is another word for frightened.

What other words can you think of? Scared, frightened, terrified, petrified.

There were so many, aren't there? Were you listening carefully to the nursery rhyme? There's a question on the screen.

Let's read it together.

Where did the pussy cat go to visit the queen? Where did the pussy cat go to visit the queen? Where did the pussy cat go to visit the queen? Let's say the nursery rhyme again.

Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been? I've been to London to visit the queen.

Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you do there? I frightened a little mouse under her chair.

The pussy cat has been to London.

Well done if you've got that right.

I'm going to tell you a story.

And it's a story that I think you may be familiar with.

This story is all about one, two, I can only find two, three, three little pigs and a big, bad wolf.

Do you know that story? Once there three little pigs who lived with their mom.

One day she said, "Off you go and build your own houses." Remember to build them strong.

The first pig built his house of straw.

Along came the wolf and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." Not by the hairs of my chinny, chin, chin.

The wolf huffed and he puffed, and he blew the house down, and he ate up the little pig.

The second little pig built his house of wood.

Along came the wolf and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." Not by the hairs of chinny, chin, chin.

Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house down.

The wolf huffed and puffed and blew the house down.

And he ate up the little pig.

The third pig built his house of bricks.

Along came the wolf and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." Not by the hair of my chinny, chin, chin.

Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house down.

So he huffed, and he puffed, but he couldn't blow the house down.

So the wolf went home, and the little pig was glad.

Let's play a game.

We're going to be learning all about mood when we learn about the three little pigs.

What do I mean by the word mood? That's right.

Mood is how we feel.

How were the little pigs feeling when mommy told them to shoo and go and build a house? They might have been feeling excited about their own house or scared about leaving home.

How was the wolf feeling as he knocked on the door? Well, if he was trying to eat the little pigs, he may have been feeling really hungry.

And I think we know that when the little pigs said not by the hair of my chinny, chin, chin, they were feeling scared or terrified or petrified, just like the mouse in our nursery rhyme.

I'm going to pull a face now.

And I want you to shout at the screen and tell me how I might be feeling.

I was happy or glad or excited.

Let's try another one.

I was feeling sad, upset, devastated.

How about now? Happy again, content, glad.

Let's try one more.

Scared, petrified, terrified.

Can you try pulling lots of different faces? Show me your happy face.

Show me your angry face.

Show me your hungry face.

Show me your tired face.

Show me your thinking face, your thoughtful, curious face.

We're going to draw some different moods.

I would like you to draw nine nine circles on your piece of paper.

One, two, three, four.

That one's going to be a little bit too small.

Let's rub that one out.

It would be hard to draw in one so small.

Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

Very quickly, pause the video and draw your nine circles, please.

Brilliant.

Now each of these circles is going to be a face, and each face is going to show us a different mood.

For the first one, I'm going to draw happy.

So I'm going to draw the eyes and a really big smile.

There is my happy face.

For the next one, I'm going to draw a petrified face.

What did petrified mean again? Petrified? Oh yes, it meant scared.

I'll draw my eyes.

Oh, I'm petrified of the big, bad wolf coming and blowing my house down and gobbling me all up.

Hmm.

We've got one more face to do together before you finish all of the other moods.

What mood could this be? How about hungry? What do I look like when I'm hungry? Looking around for my next meal.

So I'm going to make my eyes a bit bigger.

And a little mouth.

Can you tell that's my hungry face? Now have a think of what other moods you could show on these faces.

You've got six more to do by yourself.

Pause the video to complete your task and resume once you're finished.

Thank you so much for joining us in today's lesson.

We worked really hard at thinking of different moods and different ways of feeling and how we represent them in our faces and in our drawings.

The wolf in the story of "The Three Little Pigs" is often called the big, bad wolf.

Now bad isn't a mood.

But we sometimes think about being in a bad mood if we're angry or feeling in another cross way, perhaps.

But earlier, we spoke about how, perhaps, the wolf was just feeling hungry, and that's why he was huffing and puffing and blowing the pig's house down so that he could gobble them up because he was so hungry.

I wonder how else the wolf may have felt at other parts in that story.

Have a think about that.

And we can talk about it in our next lesson.

Bye bye.
