Lesson video

Hi everyone, welcome to your seventh lesson of the unit with me and Miss Brittain, my talk partner is Cedric and our guest Little Duck.

Using our ideas from the last lesson, we're going to begin writing our recycled story today, which focuses on the problem of unfairness and how the Little Duck overcomes this.

In today's lesson, we'll will start off with a nursery rhyme, then we'll go over our box plan from yesterday and recap our new story, and then we will begin writing our recycled story.

For today's lesson, you need your exercise book or a piece of paper and a pencil, super imagination and your Teddy talk partner if you them.

Pause the video now to get whatever you need and then press play when you return.

What's that Cedric? Yes we are doing writing today.

Oh you think we should warm our fingers and our hands on write day, great idea.

If you've met me before, you may have done these exercises before, well if not, they're really easy for you to join in.

Okay, the first one is butterfly.

Am just going to put you down for a minute Cedric for this one, okay.

The first one is butterflies, you crush your thumb, stretch out your fingers and wave them like a butterfly, warm our fingers up.

Great work.

The next one is shoulder strokes, You ready? Up down, up down, up down, up down.

Then next one is finger pushups.

Push your fingers together, push your fingers together, push your fingers together.

And the last one, my favourite piano fingers, really warms up the fingers ready to hold our pencils.

Great work everybody.

First we'll start with our nursery rhyme.

Are you ready for our nursery rhyme? 10 green bottle Show me 10.

Now let's look over our box plan and recap how we recycled the story.

Okay so your box plan from the last lesson might look a little bit different to mine, because when we recycled out our ideas, you might have chosen different characters to change, or it might look the same as mine and that's absolutely fine.

So am going to talk through my box plan now, and I want you to talk through your box plan with your Teddy talk partner.

Okay, so the Little Duck who had some money, and the first problem that we came across is the King and he stole her money, and that was really unfair, and that's a problem that matters in our story, unfair.

So the King stole her money, she went off into the forest, to head towards the castle, to get her money back.

And she met and I've changed, this is where I recycled my characters instead of a ladder, I said she met a rope, and instead of a river, I said she met a hammer, and instead of some bees, I said she met some ants.

When she got to the palace, the next unfair thing that happened, the next problem, she was put into a deep hole.

So she used the rope to get out.

Then she was put in the pot which was unfair again by the King, and I say she use a hammer to smash out of the pot, and then of course the King tried to punish her, try to grab her, sorry, the King tried to punish her and tried to grab her, so that was unfair too, so the Duck sent ants to help her who went and bit the King and made him run away.

Pause the video now and talk through your box plan from the last lesson with your Teddy talk partner.

Now it time to write our recycled story using our ideas, but before we go any further, we'll have a look at today's star words and high frequency words.

So my star words for today's lesson, money, little and unfair.

Money.

Little.

And unfair.

Can you say them with me this time.

Money.

Little.

And unfair.

And my high frequency words, you can't sound them out, you just got to know them, today, a point to them for you, was, it, and the.

My turn was, your turn.

My turn the, your turn.

My turn it, your turn.

And what do we always need to remember when we're writing sentences children? Show me five! Let's go through them.

Our sentences need capital letters for the beginning, and the names, thing is basis in between each of our word, we need to check for us spellings and make sure we use our phonics, our robot arms to sound out the word, full stop at the end of our sentences and then once we've written it out, we can re-read it and make sure that it makes sense, show me five! Okay, so I can see the first section of my box plan is where we're introduced to the Duck, and we found out her problem, which is unfairness of the King.

She has some money and the King has stolen it, so I'm going to put that into some sentences.

If you want to have a go at writing the first bit of the story on your own, if you're feeling confident, you can pause the video now, if not, you might want to write along with me.

So I'm going to say Little Duck and Little Duck is her name.

Little Duck had some money, as my first sentence.

Little Duck had some money, I thought it, now I'm going to punctuate it 'cause I've said it twice.

Capital letter at Little, capital letter Duck, had so money full stop.

I can see money is in my star word box and little is in my star word box.

If you want to have a go writing that sentence on your own now, you can.

If you want to write along with me, that's fine too.

Pause the video now if you want to write that sentence on your own.

Little Duck had some money.

Capital letter, Little, finger space, Duck, her name is Little Duck so that's capital letter for Duck as well, D-U-C-K, Duck, the diagraph K at the end in Duck, had, H-A-D, had, some, remember you can use your phonics for some words, you just sound them out, if you're not sure how to spelling, money, and money is one of my star words, full stop.

Little Duck had some money.

Okay, well, what happened next? If you've written that sentence, you might want to pause the video now and have a go at writing your own, sentences to what happens next, or you can write along with me.

Okay, so I'm going to say, the King got her money.

Hmm, could add an adjunctive in to describes the King, a describing word, selfish, he's unfairly selfish, so I'm going to say, the selfish King, got her money, the selfish King, got her money, I thought it, I've said it, now I'm going to punctuate it.

Capital letter, The selfish King, got her money, full stop.

You wants to have a go writing that sentence, pause the video now, if you wants to write along with me, that's fine too.

The, from my high frequency word box, finger space, selfish, S-E-L-F-I-S-H, selfish and I've got the diagraph S-H at the end, two letters one sound, King, K-I-N-G, King, the selfish King got, G-O-T, got, her, H-E-R, her money which is one of my star words.

The selfish King got her money full stop.

Now because our stories about problems that matter, and the problem that matters in this story, is the unfairness of the King, I think we need to mention that it was unfair.

It was unfair.

So that's going to be my next sentence, and unfair is in my star words and it and was on my high frequency words.

It was unfair, capital letter, It was unfair, full stop.

Let's have a look at what that looks like.

It, finger space, was, unfair.

Full stop.

Oh I've used an exclamation mark here, because I'm passionate that it was unfair, so you could use an exclamation mark there too.

Little Duck had some money.

The selfish King got her money.

It was unfair! That's a first section of our story written and we've made the problem that matters clear to our audience.

Great work children, and fantastic if you had a go at writing some of those sentences on your own.

I wonder how you felt your writing when today children, well done, if you were able to have a go, before the next lesson, you might want to draw a picture to go with your first section of the story, or you might want to have a go at reading your story out to your parent or carer.

Me and Cedric already can't wait to read some of your stories at the end of this unit.

Great work today children.

If you'd like to you might want to give yourself a wrap round of applause.
