Lesson video

Hello there.

I'm Mrs. Howley.

This is Cedric my snail helper, and this is less than five of 10.

And I predict, I can see into the future that this is going to be a great lesson in this lesson.

In this lesson, we're going to be doing some reading and we're going to make informed predictions.

We're going to do some spelling, then we're going to find out how we make predictions.

We're going to read the text and then we're going to explore the text together.

You will need an exercise book or some paper, a pen or a pencil, and your brilliant, amazing, wonderful brain.

Pause the video now if you need to collect any equipment, then press play when you're ready.

Before we get started with our spelling and our reading, we'd like to sing a song to get our brains warmed up.

Can you remember our description song? It goes like this, ♪ Description, description.

How do we do it? ♪ ♪ What can you see? What can you hear? ♪ ♪ What can you smell? What can you taste? ♪ ♪ What can you touch? That's how we do it.

♪ We've recycled our story of Awongalema.

I'm going to recycle that song now to describe one of the animals.

Which one should I use Cedric? Hyena.

Let's see, he's got a spiky mane.

I can see his spiky mane.

I can hear his cackling laugh and I can feel, his rough fur.

Let's try it.

♪ Describe a hyena.

Describe a hyena.

♪ ♪ How do I do it? I can see his spiky mane.

♪ ♪ I can hear his cackling laugh.

I can feel his spiky fur.

♪ ♪ That's how we do it.

♪ I wonder if you could describe one of the animals in your story using all of your senses.

In spelling in this part of the unit, we've been looking at the prefix un.

Remember a prefix.

Can you remember Cedric? What's the prefix? A prefix is a letter of a group of letters that goes at the start of a word to change the meaning.

Let's read the words together now, unhappy, unhelpful, untie, unlock, unfold, unpack.

I'm going to play an opposite game with Cedric now.

I'm going to say the word on my mate, then he's going to create the opposite with the prefix un.

I feel so happy.

What do you think Cedric feels? He feels unhappy.

Well done.

I'd like to be helpful.

Cedric wants to be, unhelpful.

I tie, my laces.

Cedric, unties my laces.

Oh dear.

I fold the clothes, ever so neatly.

Cedric, unfolds the clothes.

Well done.

I pack the bags and Cedric, unpacks the bags.

Maybe you could play the opposite game with someone at home.

I've got a challenge for you now with your spellings.

I'd like you to look at the words, say them in a sentence, then write the word, but without peaking, then check the spelling.

Pause the video now and have a go at that with each of the words, then press play when you're ready.

In this lesson, we're going to practise making predictions.

What is a prediction? I predict, that, Cedric, will want to play in the garden later.

How did I predict that? I made a guess about what will happen, next.

But what did I base it on? Was I right Cedric? Will you want to play in the garden later? Yes.

How do you think I knew that? I knew that because Cedric always likes to play in the garden no matter what the weather is like.

I wonder if we could make some predictions based on our Awongalema story.

Let's think about our Awongalema story.

Every time a fast animal runs to the top of the mountain, he hears the name and then runs back down.

What happens to them? They hit, an anthill.

That happens, every time, a fast animal, runs down the hill.

So what if a different fast animal, ran down that hill? What if a tiger ran down that hill? Do you think we could predict what would happen? Could we see into the future? I think the tiger, would hit an anthill.

I think that because, every time an animal is running really fast, they don't see the anthill and crash! They hit into it.

Do you agree with my prediction, Cedric? He does.

I wonder, if a different, slow animal, walked slowly down the hill.

Maybe a lazy Sloth, down the Hill.

Do you think, it would hit, an anthill? Let's predict.

When we're predicting, we have to base our predictions on evidence in the text.

When I slow animal, made their way down the hill, they saw the anthill because they were going slowly and they didn't hit it.

I think the Sloth, wouldn't hit the anthill.

I think this would be because, the slow animals, keep their eyes open for anything ahead.

Can you see how we were making predictions based on what we know already about the text.

Let's make some predictions now with our own reading.

When we're reading, we're going to need our magnet eyes to look at the letters, make the sounds and blend them together.

If we get to the end of a sentence and it doesn't make sense, we're going to go back and read it again.

Let's have a read of this text together now.

If you'd like to download it, you can.

Or you can read with me along with the screen.

The, that's one of our tricky words.

The, animals were, so thirst, thirsty.

The animals were so thirsty.

This text is from a different story to Awongalema but with the same characters.

The animals were, so thirsty.

The sun, sun.

The sun was, one of our tricky words, the sun, was hot, hot.

And, and the sun was hot and the, pool, and the pool was dry.

The sun was hot, and the pool was dry.

I, one of our tricky words, I, can, can.

go go I can go, and fetch, fetch.

"I can go and fetch us water," roared Lion.

"I can go and fetch us water," roared Lion.

I, am the fastest.

One of our -est suffixes.

"I am the fastest!" The animals, cheered, cheered.

The animals, cheered.

Lion, lion rushed.

Lion rushed like the wind.

Lion rushed like the wind with a bucket strap, strapped strapped.

Lion rushed like the wind with a bucket strapped to his, some of our tricky words, to his mane.

Split digraph a-e, mane.

Lion rushed like the wind with a bucket strapped to his mane.

When he got to the magic fountain, the bucket, that's one of our tricky words, was, the bucket was filled, filled.

When he got to the magic fountain the bucket was filled.

I'm going to read that one more time.

The animals were so thirsty.

The sun was hot and the pool was dry.

"I can go and fetch us water," roared Lion.

"I am the fastest!" The animal cheered, "Hooray!" Lion rushed like the wind with a bucket strapped to his mane.

When he got to the magic fountain, the bucket was filled.

I wonder if I can see into the future in this story and make a prediction about what might happen, next.

Now let me think.

Lion is carrying, a bucket of water.

I know that he's got it strapped to his mane.

And he's running really fast with, the water in the bucket.

Now, I know from other stories that when animals run fast, they bump into things.

And also, I think the water will spill, out of the bucket on the way back.

What do you think? I'm going to make my prediction now using the sentence starters.

I think, Lion will spill the water.

I think this because he's running so fast.

What do you think of my prediction? Do you agree? Let's have a look at our next section of text.

Who, who can, can.

Who can we send, send to fetch, fetch.

Who can we send to fetch, that's one of our tricky words, the.

"Who can we send to fetch the water now, now?" asked Owl.

"Who can we send a fetch the water now?" asked Owl.

Tortoise, that's one of our tricky words was, Tortoise was slow, slow, but he wanted to help, help.

Tortoise was slow, but he wanted to help.

"I," one of our tricky words, "I, will go." he said.

"I will go." he said.

Tortoise plodded slowly with the bucket tied to his shell, shell.

Tortoise plodded slowly with the bucket tied to his shell.

He took, took his, split digraph, 'i-e', time.

He took his time.

When he got to the magic fountain, the bucket was filled.

What do you think will happen next? I'll read it one more time.

"Who can we send to fetch the water now?" asked Owl Tortoise was slow but he wanted to help.

"I will go!" he said.

Tortoise plodded slowly with the bucket tied to his shell.

He took his time.

when he got to the magic fountain, the bucket was filled.

What do you think will happen next? Do you think, Tortoise, will get the water back to the animals? What is your prediction? When he gets back, will the bucket be filled, or will the bucket be empty? How do you think Tortoise will do? when you make your prediction, you can use the sentence starters.

I think.

I think this because.

Pause the video now and have a go at making your prediction based on what you know from the text.

Press play, when you're ready.

How did you get on? Can you see into the future using evidence from the text? What was your favourite part of the lesson, I wonder? What was your favourite part Cedric? Cedric liked making a prediction about the lion.

Cedric, I wonder if you can predict what we'll be doing in the future.

That's right later in this unit, we'll be writing our recycled stories.

Fantastic.

Now don't forget when we're writing, we're going to use, ♪ Description, description.

How do we do it? ♪ ♪ What can you see? What can you hear? ♪ ♪ What can you smell? What can you taste? ♪ ♪ What can you touch? That's how we do it.

♪ I wonder, if you can use your senses before our next lesson.

Have a brilliant day and we'll see you soon.

Bye.
