Lesson video

Hi everyone, my name is Miss Toole, and I love to find out information.

In this unit, we have been finding information about? Tigers.

And the reason we find out information is to give us? Knowledge.

Well done.

And I am sure you are all experts on tigers now.

So to start today's lesson, I am going to step through our information map, just using actions and no words.

And I want to see if you can join in them with me at home, you can follow my actions or you can create your own action that is okay.

So I'm going to take down my map, so that I've got in front of me to follow.

If you want to go and grab your map now that's fine.

You can quickly pause the video and then come back when you've got and press play.

Right, are we ready? So, don't forget our five symbols.

So we've got introduction, identification, habitat and diet, conservation, and the ending.

Okay.

So let's go together One two three Well done.

Did you enjoy it doing that? That's also a great way for us to learn all about information and to make sure we're confident with what we are doing.

Let's have a look at what we're going to be doing today.

We're going to start off with our final spelling activity in this unit.

We are then going to finish our shared write.

And finally, we're going to use our shared write to speak the information for the final time.

So you're going to need an exercise book or paper, preferably lined.

And if you've still got your exercise book that you were writing on yesterday or your paper you were writing on yesterday, that would be great.

''cause you can continue.

Your pencil and your fabulous brain.

Pause the video now to go and get what you need.

And when you've got them, press play to start.

Spelling So in this unit, we have been looking at the suffix est to make boastful adjectives and I thought we could end our final spelling for this unit with a fun game.

So I've created a word search for you and inside the word search there are our four words, greatest tallest oldest and newest.

So what I would like you to do is have a look at the screen.

And when you find one when you can use your finger to draw the line of where it could be.

So it might be going across, it might be going down or it might be a diagonal.

And you're looking for all four words.

So you can pause the screen, have a look, and when you think you've found all four, press play and we'll go through the answers.

How did you find looking for the words? Was it easy or was it hard? If you found it easy, maybe you could have a go at creating a more tricky word search and if you found it hard, that's okay, 'cause there are a lot of letters on the squares So sometimes it's hard to spot where our words might be.

So let's have a look.

See if you found the answers.

So the first one was greatest.

It was going along the top.

Greatest, fantastic.

Let's have a look to see if we can find the second one.

Tallest, going all the way down.

Tallest, super.

Let's have a look to see if we can find the third one.

Newest.

Did you find it there? Oh, now, oldest, I've tried to put in a tricky spot.

I wonder if you could find it.

It wasn't going across and it wasn't going down.

I had to go at doing oldest going diagonal.

And it's here.

There we go.

There is oldest.

Have a go home making a word search.

You could use our four words from spelling.

Or you could do some of your own words to make a word search and give it to somebody in your house to have a go.

Today we're going to finish our shared write an information about tigers.

You will need your work from the previous lesson, your pencil, a nice, comfortable chair with your feet, touching the ground.

And remember if your feet can't touch the ground, with a book underneath so you're not wiggly-wobbly, your hand ready to hold your other piece of paper still and your pencil in your correct grip.

We're going to look back at what we did in the previous lesson, have a read through and then we're going to continue.

And today I'm going to give you a lot of time to do some independent writing.

So, I'll start you off, but then I would like you to have a go at finishing the information texts on your own.

We'll then come back together and we'll model going through and speaking our own information text.

If you want to challenge yourself, you can go back as I'm reading mine and read your own and add in some key words or extra sentences.

Just to add in a little bit more detail, it's totally up to you.

Or you can continue doing the same as me.

Let's have a look back at what we've written so far.

Tigers.

My name is Dr.

Toole.

Today, I am going to tell you about the greatest, our spelling, cat full stop.

Do you know what that is? Question Mark.

It's the tiger.

Full stop.

Firstly, what do tigers look like? Question Mark Tigers are long.

They can be orange, gold or white and have stripes all over.

Secondly, what do tigers do? Tigers are hunters.

They have sharp claws and long teeth.

Full stop.

Some, remember this was the bit that you have to in your own, tigers like to swim in the lakes and rivers.

Full stop.

Finally, why do we need to look after tigers? And this was when you had to write your own bit.

Looking back, we're going to do our ending now.

So the ending.

So our sentence to start out ending is to save the tigers you need to do two things.

So start with a capital for To, to save, the, which is one of our tricky words, remember, you can't sound it out, you just have to know it.

at the tigers, tigers, you, and another one of our high frequency words, you need, n-eed, need to, we're going to go onto the next line so I've got room, do two, and it's the number two this time, two things.

Th-i-nn-gs.

Things.

Firstly, We're going to tell them now, the two things that they need to do, and this is when you're going to have a go at writing on your own.

So I've written the word, firstly, and I want you to write what they need to do first.

You might say don't buy skins.

Then we're going to put, secondly, and you're going to write in your own words, the second thing they need to do.

So it's remember to help the charities, but you might put to donate to charities so you're going to write your own two sentences to finish off our information text.

How did you find finishing off your information texts? I'm really proud of the effort you've been putting in and I wanted to give us all big firework hurray.

Are you ready? Hurray! Amazing, fantastic.

Right Now is the fun part.

We get to speak through our own information text.

So I have got mine here in front of me and I'm going to model to you how we do it with the first three sections of mine.

And then I want you to have a go At pausing and doing it for the whole of your own information texts.

Because like I said before, you could have just done the same as me, which is absolutely fine or you might have found that you've added bits in that you might want to add an action for.

Okay.

So I'm going to read it and we're going to put our actions together.

Are we ready? Tigers.

My name is Dr.

Toole.

And today I'm going to tell you about the greatest cat.

Do you know what that is? It's the tiger.

Firstly, what do tigers look like? Tigers are long.

They can be orange, gold, or white and have stripes all over.

Secondly, what do tigers do? Tigers are hunters.

They have sharp claws and long teeth.

Some tigers like to swim in lakes and rivers.

So can you see what I did? I was reading and as I'm reading I'm adding actions to it so that when I've come back to thinking about tigers, I'll be able to think about my actions and know all the information I've been given and what does information give us? Information gives us knowledge.

You are experts on that now.

So pause the video and have a go at speaking your own information and see if somebody in your house would like to watch your performance.

Now that you are experts on information texts.

I want you to talk about my challenge.

So my challenge is using our shared toolkit and our box up.

I want you to have a go at creating your own information piece based on a new animal.

So you can follow our headings of introduction, identification, habitat and diet, conservation, and ending.

And you can also follow the structure of our shared write to create your own information piece.

And it might be about an animal that you know lots about, or you might want to go away, do little bit of research with an adult's help, write down some facts and then create your new information piece.

And when you do, you can share them and the details of how to do that are on the next slide.

I hope you've enjoyed this unit finding information all about tigers, Myself and Peter really enjoyed this.

I wonder what has been your favourite part? My favourite part of this unit is putting everything we have learned into creating our own shared write on information about tigers.

What's been your favourite part, Peter? Peter has enjoyed all our singing and dancing, but his favourite part is when we get to do our step and speak and act out what we know.

I wonder what is your favourite part at home? Say it to your screen in a full sentence.

My favourite part of this unit has been.

Say it out loud.

Well done.

Thank you for joining in.

Now we're going to finish on our tiger song.

So can you remember it? We did it in a whisper voice in one of the previous lessons.

Today, I want you to do it in a low voice.

I will do it first and then you can join in.

Are we ready? It goes ♪ Roar, roar the tiger goes ♪ ♪ hunting for their prey ♪ ♪ carefully hiding in the grass ♪ ♪ who will come their way ♪ Do you think you can do it in a lullaby? Should we do it together? Let's go.

One two three ♪ Roar, roar the tiger goes ♪ ♪ Hunting for their prey ♪ ♪ Carefully hiding in the grass ♪ ♪ Who will come their way ♪ Fantastic.

I really enjoy it when you join in singing with me.

So thank you very much and thank you for adding your actions.

Take care, everyone.

Bye.
