Lesson video

Hello, I'm Miss Corbett.

And thank you so much for choosing to learn with me today.

I'm really excited today.

Because today's lesson is writing the end of the story of "The Magic Porridge Pot." I love getting to the end of the story 'cause it always means that the problem has been solved and it ends happily.

So we are going to get started, but first, you need to make sure that you have your thinking brain, your listening ears, and your looking eyes.

You also need something to write with and something to write on.

It would be great if you could have lined paper to write on and somewhere comfortable to sit.

It would also be great if you could have your success criteria nearby as well.

Let's get started on our writing.

The lesson outcome for today is I can write the end of the story.

So by the end of this lesson, you'll have written to the end of your own version of "The Magic Porridge Pot." Here are the key words that will help us to get there.

Are you ready? My turn.

Then your turn.

Ending, we will be writing the ending of the story.

Solution, the solution is when a problem is solved.

Adjective.

Verb, exclamation mark.

Fantastic.

Thank you so much for joining in with me there.

The first part of our lesson will be preparing to write and then we'll write the end of our story.

Today you will write the end of the story.

We know that we will have a success criteria, but we know that there's lots of things that we need to try and remember when we are writing.

So when we write, we always try to use capital letters at the start of sentences and either a full stop or an exclamation mark at the end.

we write our letters neatly on the line.

We use phonics to sound out and spell words, and we remember the spelling of some common exception words, words that we can't use our phonics for.

Have a look and see if you can spot the mistakes in this sentence here.

I think there's only one mistake and it's a bit of a difficult one.

Jin ate some tasty porridge.

Exclamation mark.

Hmm.

What do you think the mistake is there? Pause the video and discuss it with someone nearby.

Off you go.

I wonder if you got it? For me I don't think we should use exclamation marks for every sentence that we write.

We shouldn't use one unless there is a strong emotion or a surprise.

So think really carefully about when you you use yours.

Jin ate some tasty porridge.

That doesn't have a strong emotional surprise.

So for that, I would take away my exclamation mark and I would add in a full stop.

Did you get that? I wonder.

Have a think carefully about when you are going to use your exclamation mark today.

Here is our story mountain that retells the main events of the story.

We have got to the end of the story.

Have a go using your story mountain to retell the story.

I'm going to go first.

Suddenly Jin remembered how to stop the enchanted pot.

Everyone felt overjoyed.

Finally they all scrubbed the streets clean.

They lived happily ever after.

Can you pause the video and retell the end of the story? Off you go.

Well done.

Fantastic.

I loved hearing your retelling.

I can't wait to see the writing.

So at the end of the story, Jin finds a solution to the problem.

Her problem was that the porridge wouldn't stop spilling.

Her solution was what? What was the solution? What did Jin manage to do? Have some thinking time.

Jin remembers the wise woman's advice and says the magic words to stop the pot making porridge.

The problem is solved and we can have a happy ending.

So in this lesson we will write that happy ending of the story.

We've got this bit here and this bit here.

We will write about the main events in the order that they happened and we will use sequencing language, adjectives and verbs to help us describe the events that happen at the end.

And we can use word banks to give us ideas for those adjectives and verbs.

Word banks are really useful because they give us really exciting vocabulary and also might help us with our spelling.

So maybe make sure you've got some paper ready to write some of these words down.

Have a look at the pot and have a look at the streets.

Suddenly Jin remembered how to stop the mmm pot.

Everyone felt mmm.

So we want to describe the pot first.

Suddenly Jin remembered how to stop the magical pot, the enchanted pot, the mystical pot, the wondrous pot.

I wonder which adjective you are going to choose.

Now let's think about everyone felt, so at the end.

How did they feel when the porridge stopped flowing? Everyone felt overjoyed.

Everyone felt amazed.

Everyone felt relieved.

Everyone felt thankful.

Which ones are you going to choose? I would like you to pause the video and choose one adjective to describe the pot, and one adjective to describe the villages.

And maybe you'll note them down to help you later on.

Pause the video now.

Fantastic, I love to hear the adjectives that you have chosen.

So which of these adjectives best describes the pot? Bumpy, wondrous or young? Hmm.

I'm going to give you five seconds to decide, are you ready? Five, four, three, two, and one.

Have you decided? I wonder if it's the same as mine.

I chose wondrous, which is another word for amazing.

The pot doesn't look bumpy.

It looks quite smooth.

And the pot, what you wouldn't describe as young either.

So I would choose the wondrous pot.

Which of these adjectives now best describe how the villagers are feeling at the end? Are they feeling poorly, unwell, sad, or thankful hmm, I'll give you five seconds to decide.

Five, four, three, two, and one.

Have you decided? I chose thankful.

The thankful villagers.

Everyone felt thankful.

They didn't feel poorly, they didn't feel unwell, and they didn't feel sad because their problem was solved.

So we know that rehearsing a sentence out loud before writing helps us to remember it.

You are going to plan the two sentences that we've been talking about and use one adjective to describe the pot and one adjective to describe the people.

Suddenly Jin remembered how to stop the mmm pot exclamation mark.

Everyone felt mmm.

I wonder if you could say those sentences and add in your adjectives.

Pause the video now.

Fantastic.

Well done.

Let's have a look at it at an example.

Suddenly Jin remembered how to stop the enchanted pot.

Everyone felt overjoyed.

So there are my adjectives, enchanted and overjoyed, but there are some other great things in those sentences too.

We have started with some sequencing language, suddenly to show shock.

And because it's the start of a sentence, I need a capital letter.

Suddenly Jin remembered how to stop the enchanted.

There's my a objective, pot.

My sentence ends because it's showing surprise or shock.

With my exclamation mark.

I would like you to have one exclamation mark in your hand and you're going to keep it until you decide to use it in this lesson.

I think that sentence is a really good time to use it.

Can you keep it in your pocket hidden until then? Then I'm starting a new idea.

I'm describing how the villages felt.

So I need a capital letter to start my new sentence.

Everyone felt overjoyed.

There's my next adjective.

My idea is finished, so I need a full stop.

Fantastic.

At the end of the story, Jin finds a solution to the problem and it ends happily.

Everyone works together to clean up the porridge and Jin continues to make it for everybody.

Let's get writing that part of the story.

Here are some different verbs that tell us what the did at the end of the story.

So we are going to use those verbs to plan your next sentence.

Finally, they all mmm the streets.

So I need a verb.

Finally, they all mmm the streets, tidied.

Finally, they all tidied the streets.

Cleaned, finally, they all cleaned the streets.

Finally, they all scrubbed the streets.

Finally, they all polished the streets.

Finally, they all swept the streets.

I would like you to choose one of those verbs.

You might want to write that verb down to remind yourself on how to spell it later and then say the sentence.

Finally, they all mmm the streets.

Pause the video now.

Fantastic.

What amazing use of those verbs.

Maybe you chose a different one as well.

Well done.

Let's have a look at this sentence.

Finally, they all scrubbed the streets.

And then because our story's ending happily we can end with they lived happily ever after.

Can you say that with me? They lived happily ever after, well done.

So the verb that I've chosen here is scrubbed.

To make sure it's really clean.

Let's see what these sentences include.

I have a capital letter to start my sentence and my sequencing language, finally.

I have my verb scrubbed and then I've ended my idea with a full stop.

Finally, they all scrubbed the streets.

Full stop.

Then I have a new sentence.

So I need a new capital letter.

They lived happily ever after and I finish with a full stop.

We are going to rehearse those sentences again and again to help them stick in our brain to make our writing that bit easier because they will help you know what you are going to write.

So the first thing you're going to do is say your sentences.

For example, suddenly Jin remembered how to stop the enchanted pot.

Then you might say your sentence in a silly voice.

My silly voice is going to be a low voice.

I'm going to say everyone felt overjoyed.

Hmm.

That wasn't a very overjoyed voice.

Then I'm going to say my sentences, including my capital letters and my full stops.

Maybe if you've used your exclamation mark, you might include it there as well.

If you are working on remembering your finger spaces, you might want to include finger spaces.

So for example, capital letter, everyone, finger space felt finger space, overjoyed, full stop.

And then you want to tell somebody else all of your sentences like I'm telling you.

And then finally, before you start writing, we're going to whisper the sentences to your pen or pencil.

Finally, they all scrubbed the streets.

So I've given you some examples, but you are going to do all of your sentences.

Suddenly Jin remembered how to stop the mmm pot exclamation mark.

Everyone felt mmm full stop.

Finally, they all mmm the streets full stop.

They lived happily ever after.

So now it's your turn to rehearse the ending of the story aloud following those steps.

Pause the video now.

I think we have some fantastic storytellers, well done.

Did you manage to rehearse the whole of the ending of the story? Here's an example.

Suddenly Jin remembered how to stop the enchanted pot, exclamation mark.

Everyone felt overjoyed.

Finally, they all scrubbed the streets.

They lived happily ever after.

I think we are ready to write the end of our story, which is what we're going to move on to now.

Writing the end of the story.

Here is our success criteria for today's lesson.

And we are going to read a sentence to check if it meets it.

Use sequencing language to order events.

The sequencing language that we're going to use is suddenly and finally, to show that it's getting to the end of the story.

Use capital letters at the start of a sentence and a full stop or an exclamation mark.

Remember only one exclamation mark at the end.

Use adjectives and verbs from a word bank, which we found over this lesson and read back to make sure that your sentence makes sense.

So let's look at this sentence.

Suddenly Jin remembered how to stop the enchanted pot.

We have got our sequencing language, suddenly.

To show something has happened suddenly.

We have used a capital letter at the start off my sentence, my capital s for suddenly.

And this is a great sentence where you can use your exclamation mark.

We have used an objective enchanted to describe the pot and the verb in this sentence is remembered.

Other verbs that you might use in other sentences are things like cleaned and scrubbed and polished.

And we have read the sentence back to make sure it makes sense, fantastic.

We will be writing more than one sentence.

So you need to remember that one simple sentence is one idea.

Now so far we've said that one picture is one idea.

Actually today this one you can write two sentences to add even more detail to one picture.

But it means it's still two ideas, which means it's two sentences.

So let me show you capital letter.

Suddenly Jin remembered how to stop the enchanted pot! Exclamation mark.

We want to say how everybody feels about that.

Everyone felt overjoyed.

So that's a new idea.

So after our exclamation mark, we need a capital letter.

Everyone felt overjoyed.

Full stop.

Then we have our next idea, capital letter.

Finally, they all scrubbed the streets.

Full stop.

Then you might want to include capital letter.

They lived happily ever after.

Full stop.

I think you are ready to help me with my writing.

Let's have a go.

I'm ready to write the end of my story and I would love for you to help me.

I have my success criteria printed on my lined paper.

I have a pen to write with and I'm sitting comfortably.

So let's remind ourselves of our success criteria.

Use sequencing language to order events.

Use capital letters at the start of sentences and a full stop or an exclamation mark at the end.

Remember, we only want to use one exclamation mark.

So thinking about which sentence it works best for.

Use adjectives and verbs from a word bank.

So maybe you have some of the words that we've looked at already written down ready for you.

Or you could use your phonics to try and sound them out and spell.

Then we want to read back to make sure that all of our writing makes sense.

Now I've already written my first sentence, so I wonder if you could read it and check it with me.

Suddenly Jin remembered how to stop the enchanted pot.

I've got my sequencing language.

I have a capital letter and a full stop at the end and I've got my adjective, enchanted.

Suddenly Jin remembered how to stop the enchanted pot.

Now suddenly is a sequencing word that we would use to show shock or excitement.

So I have ended with a full stop, but what else could I end my sentence with? Could you shout it at me? An exclamation mark.

I'm going to use my exclamation mark here to show shock that, but thank goodness she realised how to stop the pot.

So I'm going to turn my full stop into an exclamation mark.

I can't use anymore now.

My next sentence is everyone felt relieved, which means they think thank goodness.

So I've got a new idea, so I need a capital letter.

Everyone, now everyone sounds like quite a hard word to write, but if you say it's slowly everyone, you can hear it all.

So capital E for every, E, V, ER, E with the letter Y, every one like the number one, but written in a word.

Everyone felt, could you stretch out that word for me? Felt, f alt t, Say those sounds for me after a finger space, f alt t, felt.

Everyone felt relieved.

I don't think I've got enough space for relieved.

Okay, so I'm going to write it here.

I'm going to write relieved.

Or actually I'm just looking at my story mountain and I chose an overjoyed and that's there written for me.

So I'm going to write overjoyed actually, let me just check, everyone felt overjoyed.

That sounds okay, so I can copy it.

Over, joy and ed.

Everyone felt overjoyed.

Full stop.

Then I want finally, finally my sequencing language to show the final thing that's happened.

Comma, finally, what did they do? They all cleaned the streets.

They, that's one of our common exception words.

The with a Y.

They all cleaned.

Cleaned, that's my verb.

So I'm going to sound it out.

Can you sound it out with me? C, all, ee, hmm.

Which E is it? EA.

Clea, n, ed.

Cleaned.

Finally, they all cleaned the streets.

Ooh, it's got quite a lot of sounds in.

Could you sound it out with me? St, r, e, e, t, s.

Streets.

Finally, they all cleaned the streets.

What do I need at the end of my idea? A full stop.

Then you might want to write.

They lived happily ever after.

I'm going to write that now, but first I'm going to check my success criteria.

So have I got my sequencing language? Suddenly and finally, yes, I have.

I have my capital letters to start my ideas and either a full stop or an exclamation mark to end them.

Suddenly Jin remembered how to stop the enchanted pot! Exclamation mark, capital letter.

Everyone felt overjoyed.

Full stop, capital letter.

Finally, they all cleaned the streets.

Full stop.

That's a really good way to check.

I've used adjectives and verbs and I've used them from my story mountain and from the words that we've discussed together, and I've read about my writing with you to make sure it makes sense.

So I'm going to write, they lived happily ever after now, but now it's your turn.

I can't wait to see the end of your story.

And maybe once you're finished, you could read it from the beginning all the way to the end.

Now you are going to write the end of your story, giving the solution after helping me so brilliantly.

Don't forget your success criteria and I can't wait to see your fantastic writing and you've got to the end of the story.

Pause the video now and off you go.

Wow, what fantastic writing.

I'm so impressed that you managed to get to the end of the story, well done.

Let's see if we can check our success criteria.

Here's an example.

Jin remembered how to stop the enchanted pot! Everyone felt overjoyed.

They all scrubbed the streets.

Oh, this person missed out.

They lived happily ever after, but you might want to include it if you have.

So let's check our success criteria.

Use sequencing language to order events.

Jin remembered how to stop the enchanted pot.

There isn't any there.

Everyone felt overjoyed.

They all scrubbed the streets.

I forgot my sequencing language.

Okay, let's check the others first.

I have used capital letters at the start of my sentences.

Jin remembered how to stop the enchanted pot.

And I remembered either a full stop or an exclamation mark.

Exclamation mark, capital letter.

Everyone felt overjoyed.

Full stop, capital letter.

They all scrubbed the streets.

Full stop, I've also remembered to use adjectives and words from a word bank.

Jin remembered how to stop the enchanted pot.

Everyone felt overjoyed.

They all scrubbed as my verb the streets and we've read them back and they make sense.

They're just missing our sequencing language.

Let's add that in.

Suddenly Jin remembered how to stop the enchanted pot! Everyone felt overjoyed.

Finally, they all scrubbed the streets and lived happily ever after.

I've got my sequencing language now as well as the other things too.

Can you now pause the video and check your success criteria? One last time, pause the video now.

Well done what fantastic writing today.

You should be very proud of what you've achieved in this lesson.

And maybe if you've written the whole story of "The Magic Porridge Pot," you should take the time to read your story from the beginning to the end, well done.

We have used sequencing language to start our sentences.

We found out that a solution usually solves the problem so that stories can have a happy ending.

We've rehearsed our sentences out loud before we write them to help us remember them.

And we've read them back once we've finished writing to help to check it makes sense.

And we know that every sentence must start with a capital letter and sentences often end with a full stop, but we can sometimes use an exclamation mark.

Thank you so much for a fantastic lesson today and I really hope to you again next time.

Bye.
