Lesson video

Hi, everyone.

Miss Fryer here back for lesson two of our Honey and Trouble recycled character unit.

In lesson one, we used some sticky notes to change the characters in our Honey and Trouble story on our story map.

And we're going to be using those additions and changes today to step and speak our story.

I left you at the end of lesson one with a trivia question, I asked you how many of these beautiful eye feathers a male peacock has.

How many did you think? 20? 40? 60? 80? 100? Well, let me tell you that male peacocks, on average, have about 150 of these feathers.

And they actually regrow them every year, they lose them and they regrow them, and they grow more of them.

Which means the older a mail peacock gets the more feathers he has to show off with.

As I get older, the older I get, the more I'd like to show off as well, so I get it, fair enough.

In this lesson we're going to start off with a game.

Then we're going to be joining in with our recycled Honey and Trouble story.

Then we're going to be stepping the story and then recycling our song from unit seven.

In this lesson, you will need an exercise book or paper, a pencil and your brain.

So pause the video now if you need to get any of those things.

Now we're going to play our why, because game, and I brought Zoro to help me, do you remember him? Say hi, Zoro.

So in our game I say a sentence and then Zoro asks me why and I have to answer and keep giving him my reason using that word, because.

So my sentence today.

Hi, I'm Miss Fryer and I have chosen to recycle using a stork in my Honey and Trouble story.

Why? Good job, Zoro.

Why, because I think a stork would make a really good foolish animal.

Why? Because I think a stork would look really silly with honey smeared all over his big, long, red beak and thin legs.

Why? Well, because storks don't normally eat honey, they normally eat fish and small little animals like frogs.

Why don't you have a go at our why, because game.

Remember, you say a sentence and then get somebody at home or maybe even one of your teddies or a friend to ask you why three times.

Pause the video now so that you can have a go.

Now we're going to join in with our recycled version of Honey and Trouble.

You can join in with me and then you can speak through your own story map.

So here's our recycled version of Honey and Trouble with our sticky notes of our new characters stuck over the top of the old ones.

So let's just talk it through, shall we? With our new characters to get it into our heads.

Once there was a lady, and she was walking through the forest.

She kept bees and made honey.

And she was walking through to get to the market and singing her song, do you remember it? ♪ I am going to market, to market, to market ♪ ♪ I am going to market to sell my honey ♪ She was concentrating so much on her singing that suddenly she tripped on a stone and dropped her honey pot, smashing it into a hundred pieces.

"Oh, why do you cause me so much trouble?" Shouted the woman and stormed off back home.

Up in a nearby tree a stork, or peacock or eagle in your story, but in mine, a stork was listening and he watched this whole situation take place.

He flapped his wings and landed down on the ground from up in the tree and stuck his beak into the sticky sweet liquid.

"Hmm, I like this," said the stork, "This must be trouble, I like trouble.

"Trouble is my new favourite thing in the whole world.

"I wonder if I have somewhere I can go to get more trouble." And so off he goes to visit his friend, sister python.

Sister python was basking on a sunny rock when stork came over to her.

"Sister python," he said, "I found my new favourite thing in the whole world, "it's trouble, I really like trouble, "and I wondered if there was any that you could give me." "Are you sure?" said sister python.

"Oh yes, certainly." "Well, okay," said sister python, "if that's what you really want." And she extended her long neck and bit the monkey on the ankle.

"Owww!" said the monkey, "that really hurt, "I wonder why sister python did that.

"I'm going to go and ask sister jackal." So off he went to sister jackal, who was in a forest glade playing with her litter of cubs.

"Sister jackal," said the stork, "I found my new favourite thing in the whole world, "it's trouble, I really like trouble.

"And I was wondering if you had any that you could give me." "Are you sure?" Said sister jackal.

"Oh yes, I'm certain," said the monkey.

"All right, if you are sure." Sister jackal growled and she swiped has sharp claws and caught the stork on the side of the face.

"Owww!" Said the stork, "I wonder why sister jackal did that.

"I'm going to go and ask brother antelope." So off he went to see brother antelope.

"Brother antelope," said the stork, "I found my new favourite thing in the whole world, "it's trouble, I really like trouble, and I was wondering "if there was any that you could give me." "Are you sure," asked brother antelope.

"Oh, yes certainly," said the stork.

"Well okay, if you are sure," said brother antelope.

And he lowered his twisty, long, sharp horns and skewered the stork into his feathered tummy.

"Owww!" said the stork, "I wonder why brother antelope did that.

"I'm going to go and ask the wise woman of the forest." And so off he went to the hut belonging to the wise woman of the forest.

He knocked on her door and she invited him in.

"Oh, wise woman of the forest," said the stork, "I found my new favourite thing in the whole world, "it's trouble, I really like trouble.

"And I wondered if there's any that you could give me." "Are you sure?" asked the wise woman of the forest.

"Oh yes, certainly," said the monkey.

"Okay," said the wise woman of the forest, "If you're sure I have some trouble that I can give you.

"Take this bag," and she handed him one.

"Take it to the edge of the forest and open it up "when you get to a point where there are no trees, "that bag is full of trouble." "Oh, thank you wise woman," said the stork.

And he picked up the bag, swung it over his shoulder and set off for the edge of the forest.

When he got there he started to open up the bag.

"Doesn't smell like trouble," thought the stork, and he opened it up.

Out of the bag jumped three giant angry black dogs.

They barked and chased the stork, who flapped his poor feathers and ran as fast as his legs could carry him back to the forest, jumping up into a tree and resting his spindly legs.

Only once the dogs had gone, he stumped off home sadly to his mother.

When he got there, his mother asked him what was wrong.

And he told her the whole story.

"Oh, you poor thing," said his mother, who would be a mother stork, not a monkey, like on our story map.

"Oh, you poor thing," said his mother.

"I know what you need." And she went to her cupboard, opened it up and got down a big pot.

She opens the lid and stuck in her little clawed foot for the stork to taste.

"That's not trouble that you want, it's honey." She said.

And stork stuck out his beak to have a taste.

"Oh, it's not trouble, that's honey," said the stork.

So that's our story, it does sound a bit different, doesn't it? With our new animal characters, they can't quite all do the same things.

So the python isn't going to hit the stork with his long trunk, because pythons don't have trunks.

So we have to recycle little bits of the story to change for our new characters.

Stork's not going to stick in a finger because storks don't have fingers.

So when you're telling your story and writing your story, think about the little changes you're going to have to make to make your story make sense with your new animals.

Now it's time to step our story, so it would be a good idea to move somewhere that you can stand up and do some actions using your whole body.

If there is somewhere you can go where you can step forward, then that's great.

But if not, don't worry because you can step on the spot.

Move to a place to step now.

Hi.

So I have moved into a space where I can step.

As you can see, I have got space to do some actions.

Don't worry if you haven't got a lot of space to step backwards and forwards because you can just step on the spot, okay? Right, as it is a recycled story, we can recycle a lot of our actions from the other parts of the story that we haven't changed.

So, see if you can remember any of the ones we did in our last stepping, and then we'll make up new ones for our new recycled animals, okay? Let's go.

So, if you can remember, our first action was about the lady, do you remember? You might have done a different action but I did this action.

Because she was carrying the pot of honey on her head.

Lady, that was my word, and then I took a step.

My next action was, trip.

You can do yours or you can use mine.

So putting them together it would look like, lady trip.

In our last stepping we then had our monkey action, 'cause the monkey stuck his finger in, doesn't he? Now, I don't know about you, but I've chosen a stork for my new animal.

And storks don't have fingers, they've got feathers on their wings.

And if you've chosen an eagle or a peacock, that will be the same for you too.

So I think for my stork action, which is going to be my next action, I'll go on one leg, because storks have got those long, spindly legs, and I'm going to get myself a big, long beak because storks have got big, long beaks.

So I'm going to just say stork to help me remember.

Stork.

You can do the same for yours.

If you have a peacock you might go, peacock to show the big tail for peacock.

Maybe you could do make yourself an eagle beak or have eagle wings.

Up to you, whatever your action is, see if you can think, whichever your animal is see if you can think of a good action for it.

Maybe you chose your own.

So, so far mine is going to look like this.

Lady trip stork.

And then we're going to carry on, doing it for the rest of our animals.

So I next, my next animal I changed the elephant for was a python.

I'm going to have python, they're all slithery and wiggly, aren't they pythons? Python.

You might have chosen a cobra, they've got those big thrilled necks.

You might have chosen a crocodile.

with marches and your own.

So you can do your own action.

My animal after that was my jackal.

Jackal is like a big dog or a wolf, so I might have my little wolf pause.

That's not very jackal-y.

Doesn't look very fierce, does it? Jackal.

And I have got my antelope, antelope have got curly horns, especially that black buck that I did in my picture.

So they've got curly horns.

So, pause the video and see if you can think of some actions for your four new animals.

Okay, hopefully you've thought of your four animal actions.

I'm going to step my story all the way through and see if you can do yours after mine, but with your action, the new animals, okay? Off we go.

Lady trip stork python Pythons have a bite.

Jackal, those can use the sharp claws.

Antelope.

Hut Bag Three black dogs.

That was a mommy action.

And then finally, honey.

Okay, see if you can do your actions now.

What we're going to do now, for the last part of our lesson, is to recycle the song that we learnt in unit seven, about the foolish monkey in a tree.

This time we're not going to have a monkey, we're going to have whatever your animal is.

So remember, when we sang the song the first, time it went ♪ Foolish monkey in a tree ♪ But this time, our story isn't going to have a monkey in it, so we're going to recycle it for our new animal.

If, like me, you're using a stork, you might say something like ♪ Foolish stork up in a tree ♪ I added the word up because stork is only one syllable.

Or you might be choosing an eagle, so then it would be ♪ Foolish eagle in a tree ♪ Or peacock, ♪ Foolish peacock in a tree ♪ Let me just remind you how the rest of it goes before we all sing it through together.

♪ Falls in love with sweet honey ♪ ♪ Thinks it's trouble doesn't know ♪ ♪ Tries to find some more and so ♪ ♪ Have you got some trouble please ♪ ♪ Now he knows honey comes from bees ♪ You might have decided that your main character is a girl this time, so maybe you would say she, it's whatever your story is, you recycled it.

So, let's sing it through.

But remember, you sing your own animal, even if it's different to mine, but they might be the same.

Are you ready? Off we go.

♪ Foolish stork up in a tree ♪ ♪ Falls in love with sweet honey ♪ ♪ Thinks it's trouble doesn't know ♪ ♪ Tries to find some more and so ♪ ♪ Have you got some trouble please ♪ ♪ Now he knows honey comes from bees ♪ Awesome, good recycled song.

And that's it for our learning today, I hope you enjoyed speaking and stepping your new recycled story.

Maybe you could do it for somebody at home or one of your teddies.

They could even do it with you, if you teach them.

Tomorrow we are going to be thinking of some descriptive words, some adjectives for our new recycled character.

So get all of those fun words back into your head, see if you can remember our character writing toolkit.

Trivia time.

Today my trivia is about sun bears, you might have chosen a sun bear to use instead of your tiger.

And my question is this, Now sun bears are the smallest type of bear, but they still got prettier long tongues.

How long do you think a sun bear tongue is? How long do you think? Have a sensible guess, and I will tell you at the start of lesson three, bye.
