Lesson video

Hello, I'm Adam and this is Panda, and welcome to lesson six of unit one.

Over the last five lessons, we've been thinking about the sounds that we can make with our voices.

Like when we want to sound surprised.

A chicken! We've been thinking about the sounds around us, like the whoosh at the window.

Well, in these lessons, we are going to be thinking of rhyme.

More of that later, here's the agenda.

One.

First thing on the agenda is to get ourselves warmed up with a nursery rhyme and then we're going to do something really amazing.

Panda loves doing this.

We are going to work together to create a new nursery rhyme that's never been told before.

And for this session, you will need something to draw on and something to draw with, and of course the most important thing, and you, and all the amazing things that you can do, one.

So in this nursery rhyme, there's a litter animal.

She's small and furry and she has whiskers, oh, and a nice tail, long one.

She likes to scuttle up things.

In this nursery rhyme there's a clock, a clock and a mouse.

Do you know the nursery rhyme? "Hickory Dickory dock." Let's learn the tune first and then we'll do it with the actions.

Here we go.

♪ Hickory dickory dock ♪ ♪ The mouse ran up the clock ♪ ♪ The clock struck one ♪ ♪ The mouse ran down ♪ ♪ Hickory dickory dock ♪ ♪ Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock ♪ That was the tune.

Let's try it now with the actions.

Okay, the actions.

Let's imagine our hands are a clock face and we can make a tick tock action like this.

And our fingers can be the little mouse who's running up the clock.

Here we go.

♪ Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock ♪ ♪ Hickory dickory dock ♪ ♪ The mouse ran up the clock ♪ ♪ The clock struck one ♪ ♪ The mouse ran down ♪ ♪ Hickory dickory dock ♪ ♪ Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock ♪ ♪ Hickory dickory dock ♪ ♪ The mouse ran up the clock ♪ ♪ The clock struck two ♪ ♪ The mouse went boo ♪ ♪ Hickory dickory dock ♪ ♪ Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock ♪ ♪ Hickory dickory dock ♪ ♪ The mouse ran up the clock ♪ ♪ The clock struck three ♪ ♪ The mouse went whee ♪ ♪ Hickory dickory dock ♪ ♪ Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock ♪ ♪ Hickory dickory dock ♪ ♪ The mouse ran up the clock ♪ ♪ The clock struck four ♪ Two.

♪ The mouse went, no more ♪ ♪ Hickory dickory dock ♪ ♪ Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock ♪ That was fun.

Nursery rhyme done.

When we were singing that nursery rhyme together, I was hitting this little bell with my wooden stick.

You may have heard it.

If I hold it in my hand, you can hear it ring.

It's called a singing bell.

Should we hear it ringing? I love the sound of the singing bell.

Singing and ringing.

Do they sound a little bit the same? Singing, ringing.

They kind of sound a little bit the same, they're rhyming words.

And we're going to be looking at rhyming words for the rest of this unit.

We're also, in these lessons going to be doing something called recycling.

This is our recycling box at home.

Panda sometimes helps me sort it out.

We've got bits of plastic.

We've got cardboard if I rummage down.

Can you hear a thing clinking and clanking? We recycle things so that they can be changed and turned into other things.

And we can do the same with stories.

And we can do the same with nursery rhymes.

So we're going to look at a nursery rhyme now and recycle it, change it and make a new one, one.

So Panda and I thought a good place to start would be with a nursery rhyme we know really well.

So we had a look at this one in an earlier lesson.

And do you remember, we did the actions to it? Panda, do you mind waiting here? You can do the actions as well.

We did this one.

Fingers.

We went, "Jack and Jill," ready? ♪ Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water ♪ ♪ Jack fell down and broke his crown ♪ ♪ And Jill came tumbling after ♪ Let me get my pen and my pencil, you don't need yours just yet, and I'm going to draw that little nurse rhyme on a little nursery rhyme map, and then we're going to recycle it.

So if we were to see "Jack and Jill" on a story map, we've got that little hill haven't we? That they went up the hill together.

So we've got Jack.

And we've got Jill.

And together Jack and Jill are going up the hill and they're going up the hill because they want to get a pail of water.

It's like a big bucket.

When they get to the top, yippee.

I don't know, did Jill or did Jack put the pail of water on their heads? Let's imagine that Jill did.

But Jack fell down, whee, and broke his crown, "Oh, help." And Jill came tumbling after.

So that's how "Jack and Jill" would look, something like that.

But if we were to change it and play with it a little bit, a lot of different things could happen.

Let's have a play.

Okay, so let's play with that story.

So Jack and Jill went up the hill.

Panda, instead of Jack and Jill, do you want a panda going up the hill? Oh, no.

Panda says a frog.

A frog or a panda? I like your idea of the frog.

Let me put you down there for a second.

Right, let's draw the hill.

This is going to be, this is a good way of recycling that story.

So let's draw a little frog.

Op, I make lots of mistakes when I draw.

Didn't look like a frog ear.

There's his eyes.

Whee.

That's my frog.

Smiley face.

Frog, frog and who?.

Can I choose dog? 'Cause frog and dog, they rhyme, don't they? So I'm probably not very good at drawing dogs.

So I better do the head up this end.

Give him an ear.

Body.

Four legs.

Frog and dog went up the hill.

Panda, what should we have instead of a pail of water? Something that's exciting.

What about sweets? Panda says ice cream.

What would you choose? I like your idea for ice creams. So I'm going to draw some ice creams. Lots of them, yummy yum yum.

Don't know who's selling them.

We could leave that to our imaginations.

Frog and Dog went up the hill to buy a lot of ice cream.

Frog fell down.

"Help!" Whee, and dropped the lot.

And Dog came tumbling after.

So Frog and Dog went up the hill to buy a lot of ice cream.

Frog fell down and dropped the lot.

And Dog came tumbling after.

It's your turn.

I'm going to pause the video and this is the time when you can get a pencil and paper and draw yourself a little hill.

And I want you to think, well you could have, if you wanted to, Frog and Dog going up the hill.

You could draw that, or you could draw two different things climbing up the hill.

And in your nursery rhyme, I wonder if they're going to get an ice cream or something else.

Have a little bit of thinking time and creative time now and draw yourself a recycled nursery rhyme, a retelling.

Okay.

One.

How has that? I wonder what you had climbing up the hill.

Well today we've been learning how to recycle an idea, change it to make it into something new.

And we've made up together a new nursery rhyme and you may have made another one at home.

So perhaps a nice way to finish is to sing the Frog and the Dog one that Panda made up.

Should we do that together? ♪ Frog and Dog went up the hill ♪ ♪ To buy a lot of ice cream ♪ ♪ Frog fell down and dropped the lot ♪ ♪ And dog came tumbling after ♪ Was the story full of laughter? Did they eat ice cream ever after? We don't know.

In the next lesson we are going to be learning how to recycle and change the story of the noisy house.

But until then I would like you to go and tell your new nursery rhyme to someone you know.

Until then, bye-bye.
