Lesson video

Hello there.

I'm Mrs.Howley, and this is Cedric my helper, but he's a bit scared to come out at the moment because there's so many wild animals around.

Can you guess what I saw earlier? I'll give you some clues using my senses.

It had sharp pointed teeth.

It's mane felt soft and fluffy.

It had a loud, fierce, roar.

Can you guess it was a lion? Can you try and persuade Cedric to come out with a little hello, Cedric all together.

Hello, Cedric.

Oh.

Oh! Oh, he feels much better now.

He knows he's amongst friends.

Let's get ready for our learning today in this lesson, we're going to learn how to use repetition, the description, including using the E S T suffix, going to start with recapping our recycled stories.

Then we're going to explore what repetition is.

Then we're going to do some shared writing, and then you're going to do some independent writing.

You'll need an exercise book or some paper, a pen or a pencil, and your brilliant brain.

Pause the video now if you need to go and collect any of those things and press play when you're ready.

In this unit, we're focusing on writing vivid description using all of our senses.

Let's sing our description song again so we can remember how we do it.

Join in ♪ Description description ♪ ♪ How do we do it? ♪ ♪ What can we see? What can we hear? ♪ ♪ What can we smell? What can we taste? ♪ ♪ What can we feel? That's how we do it.

♪ Good idea.

Cedric.

He'd like us to recycle that song to describe one of our animals in our recycled story Which one should we choose? Ostrich.

Okay.

Let's see.

Got a sharp pointed beak, soft, fluffy feathers.

We might hear peck peck peck.

Okay.

Let's try it.

♪ Describe an ostrich.

Describe an ostrich.

♪ ♪ How do we do it? I can see pointed beak.

♪ ♪ I can feel soft feathers.

I can hear peck peck peck.

♪ ♪ That's how we do it.

♪ Maybe you could try that with one of the animals from your recycled story.

We're going to recap our recycled Awongalema stories now.

I'm going to use actions to do this and you can copy.

I'm going to use my story map.

If I get a bit stuck.

I'll make the action and you can copy.

Big tree warthog tall mountain, running fast, hear the name, crash.

Ow.

Ostrich, hyena, slow snail, tree full of fruit.

Mm.

Maybe you could try creating actions for each part of your recycled story.

We're going to practise using repetition in our description, but what is repetition? Repetition is where you repeat a word of a group of words to create an effect.

Let's have a look at an example: He was the bravest.

He was the proudest.

He was the fastest.

Who do you think he could be talking about? Maybe lion in our first Awongalema story.

What do you notice about the words bravest, proudest, and fastest.

They all end in E S T E S T is a suffix we add to words to show that it's the biggest of something.

The most important of something.

So instead of just being brave, he was the bravest.

So more brave than anybody else.

Instead of just being proud, he was the proudest.

So more proud than anybody else.

He was the fastest.

You've got it faster than anybody else.

Let's see if we can add E S T to these words fast, if you're more fast than anybody else, you are going to be the fastest.

If you are more proud than anybody else, you are going to be the proudest.

You are kinder than anybody else.

Then you must be the kindest.

And if you are slower than anybody else, You must be the slowest.

We've added E S T to each of those words.

I'm going to practise using repetition now.

I'm using some E S T words.

So I'm going to use some words with that E S T suffix.

to describe the 12 toys.

Capital H.

He, one of our tricky words was, that's another one of our tricky words.

W a s.

He was the, another one of our tricky words He was the weakest.

First of all.

what E E S T full stop.

He was the weakest.

Now I'm using repetition.

So I want another sentence similar.

He was the slowest this time.

He was the, he was the, tricky word.

He was the, can you help me with slow? S L O W E S T.

He was the slowest.

Don't forget your full stop.

Then he was the kindest.

He capital H he was the kindest.

Kind.

E S T.

Full stop.

He was the weakest.

He was the slowest.

He was the kindest.

Now you can have a try practising using the E S T suffix to describe one of your animals.

Can you write three sentences using repetition? She was the kindest.

She was the loudest.

She was the slowest.

You've got tricky words in the box to help.

Pause the video then press play when you're ready.

We can also use repetition to describe action like this.

He ran and he ran and he ran.

But I want to use my senses.

And I'm going to think about the sound that the character makes.

I'm going to say he howled and he howled, and he howled.

I can imagine hearing it now.

I'm going to have a go at my own repetition, that action and sound now.

So I'm going to use repetition.

He, but I'm going to use my senses as well.

What noise does the warthog make? He snort Past tense verb.

E D he snorted.

He snorted and he snorted and snorted, and he's snorted and snorted and snorted.

full stop.

He snorted and snorted and snorted.

Now you can have a go at describing one of the animals in your recycled story, using repetition, and maybe the sound that they make or what they look like moving.

You could have he flapped and he flapped and he flapped.

She slithered and she slithered and she slithered.

Depending on your animals, pause the video now.

Then press play when you're ready.

If we want to describe using all of our senses, we can still use repetition.

But describe in turn each of the senses.

That's what I've done here.

His mane was long.

His roar was loud.

His fur was soft.

In this group of sentences I describe first what he looks like, then what he sounds like, then what he feels like.

I'd also like to try using three sentences to describe one of the senses.

So I'm going to have a go at writing three sentences, describing what the character looks like.

So I'm going to describe how he looked Capitol H.

His.

I'm going to describe his teeth.

His teeth His teeth Were That's one of our tricky words.

His teeth were, what were his teeth like? His teeth are sharp.

His teeth were sharp full stop.

now, and then go to describe something else about what I can see.

His, capital letter, His claws.

his claws were.

There's that tricky word again.

His claws were long.

His claws were long, full stop.

Now I'm going to describe something else.

I can see his, capital letter, his mane, and that's a split diagraph, his mane shone, his mane shone, His mane shone in the sun.

in, tricky word, the.

His mane shown in the sun.

Full stop.

His mane shone in the sun.

Now you can have a go at using your senses to describe, but with repetition, repeating a word or phrase.

Here are some examples.

I'll read them to you.

Her beak was pointed.

Her legs were long.

Her wings were huge.

Who do you think I've described there? Ostrich I've described what she looks like in each of the sentences.

His mane was long.

His roar was loud.

His fur was soft.

In those three sentences we describe different senses in each sentence.

Finally, if you'd like a real challenge, you could include the three different things in one sentence.

His mane was long, golden and soft.

Have a go now at writing a group of sentences Using repetition, but using your senses.

Press play when you're ready.

How fantastic, how amazing, how brilliant.

Cedric after she used repetition.

You're the greatest.

I have just used an E S T suffix.

We've learnt so much in this lesson.

I can't wait until we can start using some more of this description later in this unit.

Now don't forget.

Keep thinking about your animals in your recycled story and practise describing them, using all of your senses.

We'll see you again very soon.

Bye.
