Lesson video

Hello everyone, my name is Miss Butt.

And today we're going to be learning some new vocabulary together.

We're going to be learning three adjectives.

And we're going to be learning adjectives that are different ways of describing delicious food or drink.

I'm hoping that these words will be really useful in your unit on chocolate, which I know that you're learning about at the moment.

I hope you enjoy today's lesson.

Let's go through what we're going to do today.

First of all, I'm going to introduce the new vocabulary one word at a time.

Then we're going to look at the synonyms and word pairs of that word.

And that is so that we have a deeper understanding about what it means and how it can be used.

And finally, we're going to have a go at putting the words in sentences.

And right at the end of the lesson I'm going to ask you to write sentences with each word in it.

For today's learning, you're going to need something to write on, like a notepad or a piece of paper, something to write with, like a pencil, and your brains.

It's really important that we focus when we're watching these lessons.

So try as hard as you can to clear away anything that might distract you.

Can you pause the video now and make sure you're ready for your lesson and that you have everything that you need.

Okay, great.

Let's get started.

So, as we're thinking about delicious things today, I'd like you to first of all, just have a think about what is your favourite sweet treat.

Is it a biscuit, or a pastry, or an ice cream, or a pudding, or a certain sweet or chocolate bar? Can you just pause the video and try and think about one of your favourite sweet treats.

I hope that's got your mouth watering like in this picture here.

Okay, let's look at some key vocabulary we're going to use today.

I you say synonym, word pair, adjective, noun.

A synonym or what is a word that means exactly or nearly the same as another word.

For example, the word merry and happy, or the word delicious and tasty.

Word pairs, are words that often appear together, like a bright sun or a bright moon.

Adjective are describing words, and now what we're going to be learning today three describing words.

A noun is a person, a place or a thing.

So we're going to be focusing today on describing a thing which is probably going to be food or drink.

Let's take a look at our first delicious word.

Now before I reveal what the word is, we're going to first of all look at an illustration.

And this is one of my favourite Mrs Wordsmith illustrations.

So, what is happening in this picture? Can you describe what you see? What story is this telling? How is this character feeling? Pause the video and have a look.

Okay.

I can see here some gleaming donuts, they almost glinting in the sunshine.

And this character looks like he is extremely excited to see such delicious looking food.

He's pressed up against the glass, so I'm guessing this is maybe these doughnuts are in a shop window.

He's got hearts in his eyes.

His tongue is hanging out, and his mouth hung wide open and his fingers are pressed against the window.

It looks like he's desperate to get one of these donuts, I wonder if he's going to get one.

Have you ever had a certain experience like this where you've seen something through a shop window and you've been really, really excited to have one? And then you have been told you haven't had one, that you're not allowed to have one? It's really difficult, isn't it? Sometimes when you want something so much.

let's look at what this word is.

Tantalising, I say you say tantalising, tantalising.

This is an adjective that means tempting and tormenting, like delicious doughnuts that you can't reach.

Now, tantalising actually comes from a Greek myth, about a character called Tantalus.

Now Tantalus was very rich, but very wicked.

And so when he died, and went to Hades, which was the Greek underworld.

He was punished by Zeus.

Zeus punished him for being wicked by making him, he was in a pool of water.

And there was a fruit tree just next to him within his reach, but he couldn't ever eat or drink.

So Tantalus was punished because the rest of his life, he was hungry all the time, and thirsty all the time.

And it despite being in the water and having the fruit tree right next to him, he couldn't get either thing.

And you can see how this that word tantalus has now given us this word tantalising, because it that the fruit and the water must have really tempted and tormented him.

So I hope that that myth about tantalus will help you to remember this word tantalising.

I find it tantalising, when I hear the sound of an ice cream van going past that I don't know where the ice cream van is, it's tempting me to have an ice cream, but I can't get to it.

Just like in this picture, this character can't get to the donuts.

So let's take a look at words that could be synonyms of tantalising, tempting, doughnuts, possibility, menu, tormenting, idea, irresistible, smell, glimpse, hint and offer.

If something torments you it almost is like, it's attacking you.

And a glimpse is a very quick look at something.

So here's the word in a sentence, I caught a tantalising glimpse of the doughnuts through the window.

I'd like you to pause the video and see if you can spot the three synonyms for this word tantalising.

So the synonyms are, tempting, tormenting, and irresistible.

And that means the rest of the words are word pairs.

And I'm going to read them to you.

Tantalising donuts, a tantalising possibility.

A tantalising menu, a tantalising idea.

A tantalising smell, perhaps you might smell something that you're not allowed to eat it.

A tantalising glimpse, perhaps, sometimes you might have seen, maybe someone's baked you a cake and you get a tantalising glimpse of it in the kitchen, but you know you're not allowed to eat it yet.

A tantalising hint.

So maybe someone that has a secret and you really want to know what it is.

And then they give you a hint that tantalises you because it's like tormenting you 'cause, like, I can't work out what the answer is.

And a tantalising offer or a really tempting offer.

Now, when we learn new words, the best way of remembering these words is by saying them aloud.

So I'd like you now to pause the video.

And I'd like you to read these word pairs aloud, just like I did.

Well done.

So before we move on to our second word, can you please tell me, what does tantalising mean? Excellent.

It means tempting and tormenting.

Let's take a look at our second illustration.

What is happening here? Can you describe this picture? And describe how the character is feeling and what is going on? What can you see? Pause the video and either say aloud or just have a think in your head.

I think this character is in a very fancy restaurant because I can see that they've got one of these cake plates where it's all stacked up.

I can see some strawberries on top and lots of delicious cakes and donuts.

And it looks like this character having a nice cup of tea, and it looks like also this character is dressed up you can see it's she's got a dress on and some high heels and some bracelets.

So I wonder what this word could be.

How could we describe this food that she's eating? Scrumptious.

Scrumptious.

Scrumptious is also an adjective and it means tasty or delicious, like a fancy selection of cakes.

You may have heard the word scrumdiddlyumtious, which comes from one of Roald Dahl's novels.

That's a funny made up word, but it's a kind of you can see where they've got the idea.

It obviously comes from the word scrumptious but they've changed it into Scrumdiddlyumptious.

I wonder if you've eaten anything scrumptious, or anything really tasty or delicious in the past few days.

Let's take a look at the words that could be synonyms. Cakes, dessert, meal, delicious, treat, tasty, snack, dinner, muffin, and mouthwatering.

Here's the word in a sentence to help you.

The bakery made the tastiest, most scrumptious cakes in town.

Now I can see, one, two, three synonyms. Can you spot them as well? Pause the video and have a look.

So the synonyms are, delicious, tasty, and mouthwatering.

That means the rest of the words are word pairs and I'm going to read them to you now.

Scrumptious cakes, scrumptious dessert, scrumptious meal, a scrumptious treat, a scrumptious snack, a scrumptious dinner, and a scrumptious muffin.

Can you pause The video and read the word pairs out loud.

Brilliant.

Before we move on, can you tell me, what does scrumptious mean? Use the picture to help you remember.

Well done.

Scrumptious means, tasty or delicious, like a fancy selection of cakes.

Right, let's take a look at our final delicious word.

What is happening here? Can you describe what you can see? What do you notice, what story is this picture telling? Pause the video and either say aloud what you can see or have a think about it in your head.

I can see this character has baked a delicious chocolate cake.

I can see that it might be someone's birthday 'cause it's got some candles on the top.

She's wearing a chef's hat and she's got an apron on, and she looks very pleased with the cake that she's made.

What's slightly strange is that she's got her cake.

And she's tipped it on its side, and she's squeezing it.

And I can see that out of this cake.

There's lots of chocolate dripping out of it.

And then there's a box that says chocolate milk.

So that shows me that this cake is obviously very, very full of liquid chocolate liquid.

It's obviously not very dry this cake.

Do you know a word that means that the opposite of being dry that we could describe a cake? What do you think? Let's see.

This word is, moist.

Moist.

Moist is also an adjective and it means damp or a bit soggy, like a fluffy cake oozing with chocolate.

So if you're a keen baker you, it's nice for your cakes to be moist you don't want them to be dry.

Now moist actually also comes from the etymology of that to the history of this word, is it comes from a Latin word that meant slime.

And you can kind of see what the connection is there because slime and moist both are about kind of wet things.

But if you said that there was a slimy cake, it would sound quite negative.

Whereas if you had a moist cake, it would be a positive thing.

So you can see how there's a link but the meanings slightly changed over time.

Let's take a look at what out of these words.

And can you as I read them be thinking about which words do you think are synonyms so mean the same thing as moist.

Cake, earth, damp, towel, air, soil, watery, climate, soggy, cloth, and bread.

Pause the video and so fast.

Let me just read you the sentence.

Thick chocolate sauce should ooze off this moist cake.

So if you are reading a recipe that might give you a clue, okay, if I'm making this cake, there should be thick sauce oozing off it to tell you what the cake should be like.

So now can you pause the video and see if you can spot the synonyms of the word moist.

So the synonyms are, damp, watery, and soggy.

Again, if something's you wouldn't really want a cake to be soggy or watery, so sometimes that you have to think about where you apply these words and how to use it correctly.

The rest of these words therefore are word pairs.

So I'll read them to you now.

Moist cake, and moist earth.

So if you had moist earth, what would that feel like? If you dug your hand in some moist soil or moist earth.

What would it be like? Yeah, that's right.

It would be Kind of wet and damp, it wouldn't be dry and crumbly.

A moist towel.

So if you've just got out the sea and dried yourself your towel might be damp or soggy.

Moist air.

So sometimes if you went to a climate that was really humid, it might almost feel like the air is always wet and moist.

Moist soil, a moist climate, moist cloth, and moist bread.

Can you please now pause the video and read the word pairs out loud.

Well done.

So now we've learned three new adjectives and they are all delicious words.

Can you have a look at these three images and see if you can remember which word matches which image, pause the video and have a go now.

So the first image is tantalising.

The second one is scrumptious.

And the third one is moist.

My definition is here I've got a little bit jumbled up.

So I wonder if now for your next task, you can pause the video and match the correct definition with the correct word.

Well done.

Let's see if you got that right.

Tantalising means tempting and tormenting.

Scrumptious means tasty or delicious.

And moist means damp or a bit soggy.

Let's have a go now at putting these words in sentences.

The chocolate releases a smell , as it heats up, tempting all the chocolate makers.

There's a bit of a clue there, if it's tempting the chocolate makers, which adjective do you think fits in here? That's right, tantalising.

If you are making chocolate in a factory you wouldn't be able to dip your finger in 'cause that wouldn't be very hygienic.

So it must be really tantalising, the smell that comes off it when you're making it.

Milk or cream can be added to give the chocolate a, texture, now milk and cream, they are both wet things.

So, which adjective do you think would fit in here? That's right, a moist texture.

And finally, this word starts with finally too.

Finally the chocolate is wrapped and sent off to be sold as a, snack.

What kind of snack, what could we say? Finally the chocolate is wrapped and sent off to be sold as a scrumptious snack.

Well done.

Now it's your turn to have a go at writing some sentences.

Now you can see in my sentences I tried to link them to the explanation unit on how chocolate is made.

And perhaps you could do the same thing.

For example, this sentence starts with Finally, which is an ordering connective.

It's the final stage of what happens when chocolate is made.

You could start sentences with ordering connectives like Firstly, or secondly, or then or next.

You could also describe if you've learned already the process of chocolate making, you could use that in your sentences.

So first of all, can you have a go at writing a sentence using the word tantalising.

And this can be quite tricky, so you can use the word pairs to help you.

For example, you might pick the word pair, smell, a tantalising smell, and then you might build your sentence around that.

Pause the video and have a go at writing a sentence using the word tantalising now.

Well done.

Now I'd like you to have a go at writing a sentence using the word scrumptious.

Again, use the word pairs to help you.

For example, you might use the word pair, treat, a scrumptious treat.

And then you can build your sentence around that.

Don't forget to use a capital letter at the start of your sentence and a full stop at the end.

And try to make your sentence as ambitious as possible.

Pause the video and have a go.

Excellent.

And finally, I'd like you to have a go at writing one more sentence using the word moist.

The word pairs are here so you can use those to help you.

There, you might pick the word pair, soil, moist soil.

And you could write a sentence about that.

But if you want to write your sentence about chocolate, you might think about something else, what could be? What would it be an ingredient that you might add in chocolate that would be a moist ingredient.

Have a think.

Pause the video and have a go at writing your final sentence now.

Well done, you've worked so hard and written three fantastic sentences.

I really hope you enjoyed learning these new words today.

Perhaps you could use these words from now on when you were describing the foods that you're eating.

I think everyone would be really impressed if you came out with these words.

This is very moist cake, or, that smell is tantalising.

I love learning new words and I hope that you've enjoyed it too.

And I hope you enjoy the rest of your unit learning about how chocolate is made.

If you want to share any of your work, you can take a photo and ask a parent or carer to put it on Twitter 'cause we love seeing the sentences that you write Thank you so much watching this lesson and for working so hard, and I'll see you soon.

Bye.
