Lesson video

Hello, everyone.

Adam here, Panda too of course.

Welcome to lesson three on the noisy house.

And today's agenda is this one, the agenda today, we're going to warm up, and we're going to warm up today with a nursery rhyme.

So we're going to sing it with some actions as well.

And the main activity, I'm going to show you how to step a story.

So today we don't need any paper or pens.

We just need a bit of space around us where we can move safely and still see the screen.

The most important thing of course is that we need you and all the amazing things that you can do with your brain and your body.

♪Time for a nursery rhyme ♪ ♪ A song form long ago ♪ ♪ Time for a nursery rhyme ♪ Ready, steady, go.

I'm going to sing a line and could you sing it back? Here we go.

♪ 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 ♪ Brilliant.

Let's do it together.

♪ Jack and Jill climbed up the hill ♪ ♪ To fetch a pail of water ♪ ♪ Jack fell down and broke his crown ♪ ♪ And Jill came tumbling after ♪ ♪ And Jill came tumbling after ♪ Was the story full of laughter? Were they happy ever after? We don't know.

That was fun unless you aren't done.

How was that? Did you sing out loud or maybe like Panda, you sang the nursery rhyme in your head.

Maybe you saw pictures in your head as well.

Maybe we saw Jack and Jill climbing up the hill, but a pail of water.

I think that's like a bucket.

Is that something you see today looking around, you see children climbing a hill to get buckets of water? Now it's very different, isn't it? That's why I started the nursery rhyme with a little song that went ♪ Time for a nursery rhyme ♪ ♪ A song from long ago ♪ because these nursery rhymes have been around for a long, long time.

And children have been singing them for years and maybe there are about a different kind of time, which makes them interesting, doesn't it.

And what I like about them as stories is that something memorable happens.

What was your most memorable moment of that nursery rhyme? Was it Jack and Jill walking up the hill? Or was it them falling down, maybe laughing.

Or was it Jack breaking his crown? What kind of a crown was it? What do you think? Anyway, just like stories, you can't be wrong.

But nursery rhymes are like stories, because they have memorable moments, and maybe there's a learning there.

Pan says maybe the children were running and that's why they fell down.

I don't know.

Anyway, let's move on to the next bit of our lesson today.

One.

So for the main part of the lesson, you're going to need to stand up and find a little bit of space where we can, well, you can move around safely without playing against any furniture.

Have you ever played that game on the street? When you look at the paving stones or you try to step on them without stepping on the cracks? Well, this activity is a little bit like that.

Imagine we're going to step across some paving stones and we're going to try and remember the main things that happened in the story.

We want to do it with me.

Once upon a time, there was a man called Adam, who lived in a noisy house.

First he bought a chicken, but the chicken flapped.

Then he got a monkey, but the monkey leapt and jumped about.

After that, he got a lion.

Finally, he gave all these animals away.

Ah, and he went to sleep.

We should do that again together, maybe a little bit faster.

Try and do it with me.

Once there was a man called Adam, who lived in a noisy house.

First he got a chicken, the chicken flapped.

Then he got a monkey, but the monkey jumped and leapt about.

Then he got a lion, and the lion roared.

Finally, he gave them all away and went to sleep.

I want to set you a challenge.

I'm going to to pause the video.

And I'd really like you to try that two more times either with your talk Teddy, or somebody who's near you, or even on your own.

Okay.

And I'll see you when you're ready.

How was that? Were you able to remember all those memorable moments? Panda decided she'd rather watch and she wants to see me do it one more time.

You could either watch like Panda, or you could join in with me.

Here we go, Panda.

You stay there.

Are you ready? Here we go.

First step.

Once upon a time, there was a man called Adam, who lived in a noisy house.

First he got a chicken, but the chippy chicken flapped.

Next he got a monkey, but the monkey lept and jumped about.

After that he got a lion, and the lion roared.

Finally his neighbour said, give them all away.

When he got home, he gave them away, sighed happily, and went to sleep.

And that is how to step a story.

So how did you find the stepping? Did you have any favourite moments when you were doing it? I like it moving around.

It makes me feel free.

I still like the bit when the lion roars, what about you? So, what did we do today? Let's recap.

We started with learning this, the nursery rhyme, Jack and Jill.

And we did that with actions and we sang along and then we stepped.

We first step the story together.

Then you stepped it on your own or with somebody near you.

And then finally we stepped again.

And I'm hoping now that the story is there in your head, and you can see it in the same way that you might in your imagination, see Jack and Jill walking up a hill.

Both those stories have people going up a hill don't they? Should we sing that one more time before have our final challenge? Joy.

Okay.

♪ Time for a nursery rhyme ♪ ♪ A song from long ago ♪ ♪ Time for a nursery rhyme.

♪ Ready, steady, go.

♪ 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 ♪ ♪ And Jill came tumbling after ♪ Was the story full of laughter? Did they live happily ever after? We don't know.

That was fun.

Nursery rhyme done.

And your challenge, now.

Now that you've stepped the story with me, I'd like you to show somebody you know, how to step a story.

And next time, when we meet, we're going to do some work with mime, where we use only our actions to tell the story, and we use no words, but we use the words in our head, in our imaginations to help us do the actions.

And we're still aiming by the end of lesson five, to be able to tell the story, all of it to someone you know.

So keep on listening to new words and trying new words, showing you're stepping to people, and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Okay then, where's Panda? Needs to say goodbye Panda.

Until next time.

Bye bye.
