Lesson video

Hi, everyone.

My name is Mrs. Jenkins.

I can't wait to learn with you today.

Today's lesson is called Pet attributes, and it is taken from the unit Perfect pets.

Let's get started.

Our learning outcome today is, I can choose attributes to describe and compare pets.

We have three keywords today.

These words will appear throughout the lesson, so it's really important that we know what they mean before we get started.

Those three words are describe, attribute, and compare.

Describe is to say what something is like using words.

An attribute is a thing or quality about an object, like its color or size.

To compare is looking at two or more things to see what is the same or different.

So, those three words are, describe, attribute, and compare.

Keep an eye out as we move through the lesson.

We have two learning cycles today in our lesson, Pet attributes.

The first is recognize attributes of pets.

The second is compare pets using attributes.

Let's get started with recognize attributes of pets.

People can describe pets.

When you describe a pet, you say what it is like using words.

So, Jacob says, "That pet is fluffy!

" Jun says, "That pet is small and friendly!

" There are many ways to describe a pet.

Jacob has said fluffy, Sam has said gray, and Jun has said small.

All of these words, fluffy, gray, and small, could be used to describe a pet.

You can describe pets using facts.

A fact is something that is true and can be proved.

Laura says, "That pet is brown.

" We know that is true.

We can see that the cat is brown.

An attribute is a thing or quality people use to describe a pet.

Attributes are used because they are clear, can be seen, or counted.

Attributes are sometimes facts.

So, here, we have a cat, and some of the attributes are two ears, four legs, brown, and has fur.

Okay, let's have a little check-in now.

Which word is an attribute you might use to describe a pet?

a, brown, b, friendly, or c, fun?

Have a go.

How did you get on?

I asked you, which word is an attribute you might use to describe a pet?

a, brown, b, friendly, or c, fun?

The answer is a, brown.

Great job, everyone.

Brown is an attribute because it describes what a pet looks like.

Words like fun or friendly are attributes and can describe a pet.

They might mean different things to different people.

These are opinions rather than facts.

Attributes can help people describe pets in the same way.

This makes descriptions clearer and easier to understand.

Sam says brown.

Jun says brown.

Okay, let's have a little check-in now.

We have a true or false.

An attribute helps you describe a pet clearly.

Have a go.

How did you get on?

I asked you, true or false?

An attribute helps you describe a pet clearly.

The answer was true, and the reason why, attributes describe things that can be seen or counted so people can understand them in the same way.

Okay, we're going to move on to Task A now.

I would like you to look at the pets shown on the pet cards.

Which attribute labels can be used to describe each pet?

So, some of the labels we have, we have has two eyes, fun, black and white, has two ears, playful, brown and white, cute, has one tail, friendly, has fur.

Have a go.

How did you get on?

I asked you to look at the pets shown on the pet cards.

Which attribute labels can be used to describe each pet?

So, we have our two dogs, Patch and Buddy, and then our labels are, has two eyes, fun, black and white, has two ears, playful, brown and white, cute, has one tail, friendly, has fur.

So, these are attributes.

They describe what each pet is like and can be seen or counted.

So, for Patch, we have has two eyes, black and white, has two ears.

And for Buddy, we have brown and white, has one tail, has fur.

Great job, everyone.

We're going to move on to learning cycle two now to compare pets using attributes.

People can compare pets, so we have here we have a dog and a parrot.

People use attributes to compare pets.

The same attribute must be used for each pet.

So, our dog has four legs.

Our parrot has two legs.

When people compare pets, they compare color with color or number of legs with number of legs.

This makes the comparison fair.

Let's have a little check-in.

Which pair uses the same attribute to compare two pets?

So we have a, brown and has a tail, b, fun and friendly, or C, four legs and two legs.

Have a go.

How did you get on?

I asked, which pair uses the same attribute to compare two pets?

a, brown has a tail, b, fun and friendly, or c, four legs and two legs.

The answer is c, four legs and two legs.

Using the same attribute helps you clearly see differences, such as color differences.

So, we have two dogs here.

One is black and white, one is black and brown.

People can describe comparisons using attributes.

For example, both pets have four legs.

This pet is black and brown, but that pet is black and white.

Okay, I'm gonna have a little check-in now.

I would like you to fill in the missing word, "To, hm, pets fairly, you need to use the same attributes.

" Have a go.

How did you get on?

I asked you to fill in the missing word, "To, mm, pets fairly, you need to use the same attributes.

" The word was to compare.

To compare pets fairly, you need to use the same attributes.

Okay, we're going to move on to Task B now.

I would like you to look at the two pet cards.

Choose one attribute that is the same and one attribute that is different to compare the pets.

So, you're going to write two comparison sentences.

So, the first might be, "Both pets.

.

" And the second might start, "Patch is, but Buddy is.

" Okay, have a go.

How did you get on?

I asked you to look at the two pet cards and choose one attribute that is the same and one attribute that is different to compare the pets.

So, we have Patch and Buddy.

We're going to write two comparison sentences.

These sentences each compare the pets using the same attribute, so some examples are both pets have a tail.

Patch is black and white, but Buddy is brown and white.

Great job, everyone.

Well done.

You have worked so hard in today's lesson.

Let's summarize our learning.

You can describe pets using words or numbers.

An attribute is a thing or quality about a pet.

Attributes can be seen or counted.

To compare pets fairly, you should compare the same attribute.

Great job, everyone.

You've worked really hard today.

I hope to see you again soon!
