Lesson video

Hi, everyone.

Miss Brittain here, Cedric and Little Duck for your eighth lesson in this unit.

In today's lesson, we're going to continue writing our recycled story that we started yesterday, which focuses on, unfairness and how the duck overcomes that.

In today's lesson, we will start off with our nursery rhyme, then we will recap our box plan to see where we're up to in the story.

And then we'll read over what we've written, before writing the next part of our story.

For this lesson, you will need your writing from yesterday if you manage to do some, your exercise book or a piece of paper, a pencil, your super imagination, and your Teddy talk partner, or anything that you use instead.

You can pause the video here to go and get any of the items that you need and then press play once you've returned.

Now it's time for our nursery rhyme, 10 Green Bottles.

But before we start, Cedric, I've got a joke.

Would you like to hear it? Okay, so what are you laughing at, Cedric? Are you ready? Why did the singer climb the ladder? You don't know? To reach the high notes.

Get it? High notes? Are you ready, children, show me 10.

♪ 10 green bottles sitting on a wall ♪ ♪ 10 green bottles sitting on a wall ♪ ♪ And if one green bottle should accidentally fall ♪ ♪ There'll be nine green bottles sitting on a wall ♪ ♪ Nine green bottles sitting on a wall ♪ ♪ Nine green bottles sitting on a wall ♪ ♪ And if one green bottle should accidentally fall ♪ ♪ There'll be eight green bottles sitting on a wall ♪ ♪ Eight green bottles sitting on a wall ♪ ♪ And if one green bottle should accidentally fall ♪ ♪ There'll be seven green bottles sitting on a wall ♪ You might like to carry on that nursery rhyme all the way down to one with your Teddy talk partner.

You could even change the words.

It could be anything you like sitting on the wall and falling over.

For example, I might say from our story ♪ 10 little ducks sitting on a wall ♪ ♪ 10 little ducks sitting on a wall ♪ ♪ And if one little duck should fly away now ♪ ♪ There'll be nine little ducks sitting on a wall ♪ See if you can have a go and play around with the remix.

Okay, now it's time to recap our box plan for our recycled story and read over what we've already written before we start our writing today.

Okay, so here you can see my box plan and the bit of writing that we did in the last lesson.

So, let's read what we've written already.

"Little Duck had some money.

The selfish King got her money.

It was unfair." Because that's the main problem in our story, isn't it? The unfairness of the King.

So let's have a look at our box plan.

And again, don't worry if your box plan looks a little bit different to my box plan, that just means you've recycled some different ideas and you might have some different characters who helped her.

And that's absolutely fine.

So we wrote the first section of our box plan.

You can see here, the first section of our writing, which was that the duck had some money.

And the main problem was that the King had stolen her money.

So that's why I've drawn a King's crown in there 'cause he was the problem.

Now the next section of my story, if I have a little look, is where she goes off and the trees mean forest.

She walks off into the forest and she meets three different things that decide to help her.

And I recycled the ideas and changed them.

And I changed them to a rope.

It was a ladder.

I changed the river to a hammer, and I changed the bees to some ants.

You might have changed them to different items and that's absolutely fine.

So we're going to write the next section of our story, which is this bit here, section two, thinking about how these different things in the forest decide to help Little Duck with the problem with the King.

Before we start our writing today, we will start with our high frequency words.

You can't sound them out.

You've just got to know them.

So let's have a look at our high frequency words.

I'll point to them, I've got she, it, and, the, they, and got.

Let's have a look at them together.

My turn, she your turn.

My turn, it your turn, My turn, and your turn.

My turn, the your turn.

My turn, they, your turn.

My turn, got your turn.

Great work, everyone.

Okay, so what's the matter, Cedric? Oh, Cedric says I've forgotten something.

Oh of course, how could I forget? Before we write our sentences, we've got to remember to show, five.

Remind your Teddy talk and a partner about the five things that you need to do when you write a sentence.

Oh, great remembering children.

Capital letters, finger spaces in between each words, using our phonics sense, checking our spellings, full step at the end, and then we can read it to make sure it makes sense.

Thank you, Cedric, I nearly forgot about that.

Okay, so two things that we need to remind ourselves of before we start writing.

And that is we, you, how we spell our words, we say the word, we robot the sounds in the word, and then we write the word.

And then when we fall to the sentence, we say it twice, but we think it.

Say it twice, and then punctuate it before we write it.

Okay, so I can see that in my box plan, I'm up to the point in the story where Little Duck goes into the forest and she meets the three characters who help her along her way on her journey.

Now my characters are the rope, the hammer, and the ants.

Again, your characters might look different to my characters, and that's great.

But if they're the same that's okay too.

So my first sentence needs to be where she meets the first character.

And in my case, it's the rope.

It may be different for you.

So I'm going to put that into a sentence.

The duck met a rope.

Five words, I'm going to say it again.

The duck met a rope.

Now I'm going to punctuate it.

Capital letter, the duck met a rope, full stop.

Now you might pause the video here, and write that sentence on your own if you're feeling confident.

And you might, if you've got a different character change the first character.

But if you're not feeling confident, you can always write along with me.

Capital letter, the and the is from my high frequency word box.

Duck, duh, oh, K, duck.

I got the diagraph K, at the end.

Two letters, one sound.

Met, MM Eh T, Met.

A rope.

Rr Oh P, rope.

Full stop.

Now, again, don't forget to use your phonics or words you're not sure of the spelling of.

Now my next sentence, I think I need to say what the rope did.

Well, the rope got into her bag.

So I'm going to say, it, got, in, her, bag.

I want to say it again.

It, got, in, her, bag.

Punctuate it this time.

Capital letter, It, got, in, her, bag.

Hey kids, is that being written? Capital letter, it, finger space, got, which is one of my high frequency words, in, E-nn, in, her, bag, buh ah g bag, full stop.

Okay.

Now that's my first two sentences.

The duck met a rope.

It got in her bag.

What I'd like you to try and have a go at now, if you're feeling like you could, is pause the video and write the next four sentences about your next two characters.

And you can use the same format as what we've just written now.

So instead of "the duck met a rope", my next sentence will be "the duck met a hammer".

And that also got into her bag.

So see if you can write the next sentences.

Pause the video now and have a go.

Well done, if you had a go at writing those sentences.

I'll read over mine and you can double-check yours.

"The duck met a rope.

It got in her bag.

Duck met a hammer and it got in her bag.

Duck met some ants", oh, I've got ant there so I will go back in a minute and change that to ants by adding S on the end.

"And they got in the back because Ooh, I have used because here to extend my sentence.

Why might the ants have got into the bag? Can you tell your Teddy talk partner why the ants got into the bag? Can you tell your screen why the ants might have gotten into the back? Brilliant, all of those ideas are great.

You might've said because they are kind, because they are helpful, because they wanted to help Little Duck.

Now, could you have a go at extending your final sentence with because, and don't forget to cross out your full stop, and put it at the end.

If you feeling confident you could have a go at that now.

If not, you can write along with me.

And I want to say "the ants got in the bag because they were helpful." Let's have a look at that 'Cause they, from my high frequency word box, were, helpful.

Ha el uu pa ff uu ul, helpful.

Full stop.

"The duck met a rope.

It got in her bag.

Duck met a hammer and it got in her bag.

Duck met some ants," and I need to change that to ants now.

But don't worry if you need to go through your work and do things like that.

"And they got in the bag because they were helpful." Great work if you gave those sentences a go.

If you didn't get a chance to write them, you can always pause the video now or rewind and have a go.

Wow, we wrote a lot today, children.

Well done, if you were resilient with your writing.

And don't worry, if you feel like you made some mistakes, so you need to go back to it because that is what learning is.

And mistakes are beautiful.

So great work everybody.

Before we finish today, I'd like us to recycle the nursery rhyme, Humpty Dumpty.

I want us to change the ending.

Would you like to give that a go, Cedric and Little Duck? Okay, you ready, so it goes Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't put Humpty together again.

I want us to change it from where he has a great fall, I want us to change the ending.

It might be that he cracks open and becomes a fried egg on a breakfast.

It might be that he falls off the hill, falls off the wall, and rolls down a hill, and has the time of his life.

Or it could be, that he falls off the wall, meets a spoon, and they become the champions in the Olympic egg and spoon race.

Can you have a go with your Teddy talk partner in deciding on how to change the ending of Humpty Dumpty? I think I'd like to change it to that he rolls off the wall, he meets a spoon, they fall in love, and then they become egg and spoon race world champions.

Which one do you like, Cedric? Oh, that's a good one.

Cedric said, that he'd like it if Humpty Dumpty fell, cracked open on the floor, fried into a fried egg, am I right, Cedric? And that some sausages came and be came to be his best friends.

I love that one.

Have a got at recycling the store, story of Humpty Dumpty now, if you'd like.

And we'll see you in the next lesson.
