Now it's time to listen and join in with a discussion.

And we're going to be discussing if Little Red Riding Hood should go into the forest alone.

And you're going to meet somebody new, who's going to discuss this with you.

Hi, I'm Little Blue Running Shoes and Little Red Riding Hood's little brother, I love blue, I love running and I love my blue suede running shoes, they make me happy.

I'm here to talk to you today about whether or not my sis should've gone into the woods alone.

I heard mom and sis arguing about it in the kitchen.

Mom said she should go for three reasons.

First, gran was sick and all on her own.

Someone had to do it.

Second, everyone was busy except sis.

I was busy running and mom was busy cooking.

And third, she was old enough now to go on her own and needed some responsibility.

On the other hand, sis said she shouldn't go for three reasons.

First, it was dangerous in the woods because of big, bad, scary wolves.

Second, it was a real long way and she was tired.

And third, she didn't really know the way and she might get lost.

What do you think? Who do you think was right? Maybe mom, maybe sis.

Me, I think sis should help out with gran.

Well, not if it's too dangerous.

Maybe next time a woodcutter should go with her to keep her safe.

Now we'll answer some questions all about your discussion with Little Blue Running Shoes.

How was meting Little Blue Running Shoes, Cedric? Oh, you really enjoyed the discussion.

Have you made a decision yet? Who you agree with? Because there were reasons that Little Red Riding Hood should go into the forest.

And reason she shouldn't go into the forest.

And that's what we call advantages and disadvantages, advantages, disadvantages.

Oh, Cedric said he can't make a decision yet.

What about you, children? Have you made a decision yet? Can you tell your teddy talk partner one reason Little Red Riding Hood should go into the woods alone.

One reason mom said she should.

Oh, great remembering, children, you might have said that grandma was sick and someone had to go.

Everyone was busy, Little Blue Running Shoes was busy running and mom was busy doing the housework.

And also she was old enough now and mom thought she needed some responsibility.

Can you tell your teddy talk partner one reason she shouldn't, one disadvantage of going into the forest alone.

Oh, great ideas, children.

It might have been that she, there was a big, scary wolf and it was dangerous.

Oh, well done, Cedric's telling me don't forget, she was tired and it was a really long way.

And the last one was? Oh yes, great work, she might get lost.

Who do you agree with more? Can you say why you agree with that person more? Can you try and say "I agree with, because", So I might say, "I agree with Little Red Riding Hood, because it was dangerous in the forest." Cedric, what are you going to say? Cedric says, "I agree with mom because grandma was sick and someone had to look after her." Pause the video now and have a go at saying who you agree with.

Now because you've just listened to a discussion, with Little Blue Running Shoes, I thought we'd finish on a song That's going to help us remember the features of a discussion text.

And by features, I mean, the things that discussion text has that makes it different to a story or makes it different to some instructions.

Now, when Little Blue Running Shoes was telling you his discussion, he spoke about advantages, reasons Little Red Riding Hood should go in the woods alone.

And disadvantages, reasons Little Red Riding Hood Shouldn't go into the woods alone.

And that's what a discussion is.

You have advantages, disadvantages, you discuss them and make a decision.

And Little Blue Running Shoes decision was that she should go if she had someone to keep her safe.

So I've got a song that goes with our nursery rhyme from the beginning, children.

So I'll sing it through first and then when you feel confident, you can join in.

♪ You list the advantages, you list the disadvantages ♪ ♪ Advantages, disadvantages ♪ ♪ You think it all about ♪ ♪ You do the discussion and you work it out ♪ ♪ That's what it's all about.

♪ ♪ Whoa, the discussion ♪ ♪ Whoa, the discussion ♪ ♪ Whoa, the discussion, ♪ ♪ That's what it's all about ♪ Think you can join in with me this time, children? So I want to see thumbs up for advantages, thumbs down for disadvantages.

♪ You list the advantages, you list the disadvantages ♪ ♪ Advantages, disadvantages ♪ ♪ You think it all about ♪ ♪ You do the discussion and you work it out.

♪ ♪ That's what it's about.

♪ ♪ Whoa, the discussion ♪ ♪ Whoa, the discussion ♪ ♪ Whoa, the discussion ♪ ♪ That's what it's all about ♪ Oh, great work today everybody, I really hoped you enjoyed listening to and responding to our discussion.

Before the next lesson, you might want to speak to an adult, a parent or a carer about the discussion and see if you can make a decision about what would you do.

And what you think of the woods.

And wherever she should have gone in and whether it was dangerous or not.

I'll see you in the next lesson.
