Lesson video

Before we begin today, Cedric has asked me if we can play a quick game of I spy.

So are you ready, Cedric? You can go first.

And join in at home.

I spy with my little eye something beginning with T.

Cedric spies with his little eye something beginning with T.

Can you have a look around the room, children, and see if you can see what Cedric is looking at? I think he's giving us a clue.

Can you tell your screen what you think it is? That's right.

Teddy.

Well done.

Okay, my turn.

I spy with my little eye something beginning with M.

Mmm mm something beginning with M.

Cedric said, can you help him, children? Can you tell Cedric what you think it is? Mirror.

Well done.

In today's lesson, we are going to be mapping and speaking a story.

And when we do a map, it helps us to see the key events in the story.

Well, what will we do in today's lesson? So we'll start off with our nursery rhyme, then you'll listen to the story again and join in, then we'll map the story, and then we're going to have a go at speaking the story using our maps.

For this lesson, you will need an exercise book or a piece of paper and your pencil, super memory, and your Teddy talk partner.

Pause the video here and get anything that you need.

And then when you come back, you can press play.

Now it's time for our nursery rhyme.

Do you remember our nursery rhyme from the last lesson, children? That's okay if you weren't here or you don't because I will remind you.

It was The Wheels on the Bus.

The wheels on the bus go round and round round and round, round and round The wheels on the bus go round and round all day long Now, last lesson, we changed the word to the duck.

Can you remember? We made the nursery rhyme fit our story.

The duck in the forest goes quack quack quack quack quack quack, quack quack quack The duck in the forest goes quack quack quack The king has got her money Shall we add a verse in now about the king? Where does the king live? He lives in a castle, in a palace.

And he's greedy.

So let's say, The greedy king in his castle says mine mine mine mine mine mine, mine mine mine The greedy king in his castle says mine mine mine He's stolen the duck's money You can try and join him with that verse now.

Are you ready? The greedy king in his castle says mine mine mine mine mine mine, mine mine mine The greedy king in his castle says mine mine mine He's stolen the duck's money Oh, I love changing the words in our nursery rhymes to fit our story.

I hope you enjoyed our nursery rhyme today.

Now it's time for our story so get your listening ears ready and don't forget to join in if you can.

Once upon a time, there was a little duck who lived by a lake, in a nest, and she had a bag of money.

One day when the little duck was out swimming, the greedy bad king came and stole her money and the little duck wanted it back.

She said, "Quack quack quack.

The king has got my money." So that next day off she went and she waddled through the forest with her magic bag towards the palace to see the king.

As she was walking, she came across a ladder.

"Where are you going?" said the ladder.

"I'm going to see the king because quack quack quack the king has got my money." "Can I help?" Said the ladder.

"Yes," said the duck.

And the ladder climbed into the bag.

And off the duck went again, waddling through the forest until she came to a flowing river.

"Where are you going?" said the river.

"I'm going to see the king because quack quack quack the king has got my money," said the duck.

"Can I help?" said the river.

"Yes," said the duck.

And the river climbed into the magic bag.

And off the duck went with her bag on her back waddling through the forest.

And as she got to the end of the forest she met some bees.

"Where are you going?" said the bees.

"I'm going to see the king because quack quack quack the king has got my money.

Well done, children.

The king has got my money.

"Can we help?" buzzed the bees.

"Yes," said the duck.

And they buzzed all the way into the bag.

The duck put her magic bag on her shoulder, and she waddled towards the palace.

And when she got there and she saw the king she said, "Quack quack quack.

You've got my money.

Give it me back." But the king said "No." And he pushed her into a hole.

A deep dark hole.

Hmm, thought the duck.

"Ladder, help me now." And the ladder climbed out of the bag and the duck used the ladder to climb out of the hole.

And she found the king again and she said, "Quack quack quack.

You've got my money." And she asked for it back.

But the king said "No." And he put her into a pot on top of the stove and put the lid on.

Hmm, thought the duck.

"River, help me now." The river gushed out of the bag, filled the pot and the duck managed to swim out.

And she found the king again.

And she said, "Quack quack quack.

You've got my money." And the king tried to grab the little duck.

But the little duck remembered the bees.

"Bees, help me now." And the bees buzzed out of the bag and they stung the king and he ran away into the forest.

And the little duck became queen.

And that's the end of that.

I love our story, children.

And I love the little duck and how brave and determined she is.

And how she's overcome all of her problems with a little help of some friends.

Now it's time to map our story.

So you'll need your paper, exercise book, and a pencil.

Mapping the story means that we can see the clear event and what happened, which helps us when it comes to writing our story.

Okay, so I'm going to draw the story map.

I'm going to pause it at different points where I'd like you to add the pictures if you're feeling confident enough.

Okay? Okay.

So I like to draw out a trail for my story map.

You might not do this.

You might just have arrows.

A story map is just for you to help you remember the story.

So the first picture I'm going to draw is the duck, of course, our main character.

And then after that, I'm going to think about her problem.

Well, what was her problem? She had a bag of money.

I'm going to draw a bag with a pound sign on it.

And the king came to steal it from her.

I'm going to draw a crown.

Remember these are quick pictures that help you remember the story.

So then she goes off into the forest.

What I'd like you to do now is pause the video and see if you can draw the next three pictures.

The three helpers that come along.

Well done if you had a go.

Let's have a look at it together.

The first helper was, of course, the ladder.

The next helper, can you tell me who the next helper was? That's right.

It was, of course, the river.

And can you tell your Teddy talk partner who the next helper was and show them your map? It was the bees.

Okay, so she goes off to the forest and then at the forest, she gets to the king and he puts her in a hole.

A deep, dark hole.

So I'm going to draw a hole with an arrow coming down.

Can you do that, and then draw the thing that helps her get out? Pause the video, have a go.

That's right, it's the ladder.

The ladder helps her out.

And then after that, the king puts her into a pot with the lid on, on top of a stove.

Can you pause the video and draw who helps her get out of the pot? Well done if you had a go.

Who was it? Of course, the river.

Then after the river, she goes up to the king and who helps her? Can you tell me, children? That's right, it's the bees.

And they sting the king.

So I've drawn the king with a shocked face and the bees, and he runs off into the forest.

And then finally, what happens finally? The duck becomes queen.

So I'm going to draw the duck's crown.

A little bit different from the king's crown so I don't get confused.

If you'd like to, you can rewind the video and copy up the story map if you didn't get a chance to.

Great job if you managed to draw some of those pictures on your own.

Now we're going to have a go at speaking the story, using our story map to make sure we understand what's happening in the story and make sure we understand our pictures.

So here is our story map from before.

And there's an opportunity here, if you need to, to pause the video and copy up the story map.

Okay, so let's have a look at my story map.

Cedric and me are going to have a go at talking through some sections of the map.

And then we're hoping that you could have a go with your Teddy talk partner.

Okay, so I'm going to talk the first section and then I'm going to get you to have a go at talking the next section.

Okay, so this picture, well, this is the duck, isn't it, Cedric? Am I right? Yes.

So that's the duck in the story.

And I know that she.

stole a bag of money from the king? Oh, Cedric's told me the king stole the money from her.

Yes, that's right.

So there's a duck and this is where the king stole her money.

And then I think this is where she met the ladder when she went to go and get her money back and he offered to help.

Can you pause the video here and have a go at the next few steps and play it again once you've done that with your Teddy? I wonder how you found talking the steps of the map.

I wonder if you managed to give it a go.

Well done if you did.

We'll go from here now.

So I can see that this bit of the map is where the duck is put in the hole and she has to call the ladder to help to get out.

And that's one of her big problems that is solved.

The next problem is solved by the river because the river fills the pot up which the duck is stuck inside and then she can get out.

And then Cedric, can you tell me what the final bit shows? What the final bit of our map shows? Cedric thinks that it's where the bees stung the king and he ran away.

Is that right, children? Yes.

Well done.

And then the crown at the end.

Did the king come back? Did the king come back, children? No, you're right.

The duck became queen.

If you'd like to, you can pause the video now and practise talking through the map to remind you of the problems that happened in the story and how the duck overcomes them.

I wonder how speaking the story and drawing your story map was for you today, children? How was it for you today, Cedric? Oh, he found some bits a little bit tricky.

But not to worry, Cedric.

We'll keep practising.

I can't wait for the rest of this unit already.

Before we go, I'd like us to play a game of tell me more.

So I start off with a sentence.

I'm going to make it relevant to our story.

And then Cedric is going to try and tell.

And then I'm going to try and tell Cedric more.

Okay.

My sentence is.

There was a duck that lived by the lake.

Cedric said, "Tell me more about the duck." The duck was brave.

"Tell me more about brave," Cedric said.

Brave is when the duck stood up to the king.

"Tell me more about the king," Cedric said.

The king was bad and greedy.

"Tell me more about greedy," Cedric said.

The greedy monster ate all the food.

"Tell me more about the monster." The monster was green and slimy.

I love that game, tell me more.

I know we started off with our story but sometimes it trails off into other stories.

You could have a go with your Teddy talk partner at tell me more.

Well done.

Some great work today, children.

And great job if you managed to have a go at speaking the story.

See you in the next lesson, children.
