Lesson video

So let's have a look, what we're going to be doing today.

We're going to start off with our spelling activity.

We're then going to listen to a quick story recap, so you know what to put into your explanation and I'm going to do this in a fun way through a song.

And then we're going to start our shared writing and over the next couple lessons in the unit, we will complete our shared writing together.

So don't worry, I'm not expecting you to do it all on your own.

We're going to work together as a team.

So today you are going to need an exercise book or a piece of paper, preferably with lines on, because we're going to start writing our own explanation, a pencil for your writing, your fabulous brain, and your amazing self.

So pause the video now to go and get your resources, and once you've got them, press play to start with our spellings.

Hi everyone.

My name is Miss Toole And in today's lesson, we are going to be writing our very own explanation piece based on the story of Jack and the Beanstalk from a previous unit.

So we're going to recycle the information from the story to create an explanation piece on how Jack got rich.

In this unit our focus has been common exception words.

Now common exception words are sometimes known as tricky words because.

we can't sound them out, we've just to got to know them.

So we've been looking and saying our common exception words, looking and saying.

And today we're going to have a go at spelling them.

Now remember, because we can't sound them out, we've just got to know how to spell them.

Don't worry if you're not too sure, because we're going to go through it together each step.

But I'm going to say a word and then show you the word, and in between I want you to have a go at writing that word down.

So I'll say a word, I want you to spell it writing it down, and then I'll show it you on the screen and you can check your answer.

Don't worry if you don't get it right, you can write it next to it correctly.

Mistakes help us to learn, okey dokey? So let's get going.

The first word I would like you to write is of.

Of, think about it.

Think about our tricky word of.

Of.

Now I'm going to show you the word.

If you haven't written it down yet, you can just pause and then press play when you have.

Of, O-F, of.

Check what you've got, and if you need to correct it, that's okay.

The next word, which is a little bit tricky because we can sometimes confuse it with a different word, is the word were.

We were going to the market.

Were.

So write the word were down for me.

Okay, I'm going to show you the answer.

Remember you can pause if you need to.

Were.

W-E-R-E, were.

W-E-R-E, were.

Check with what you've got written down, and correct it if you need to.

The next word is was.

Was.

It was a beautiful day.

Was, it's three letters.

What are the three letters that make the word was? Was.

Are you ready? Was, W-A-S, was.

Perfect.

The next word, my.

My.

My beanstalk is the tallest beanstalk.

My.

Have a think about it and write your word down.

My.

Okay, I'm going to show you the answer.

My, M-Y, my.

M-Y, my.

Check with what you've written down, and if you need to correct it you can do.

The next word is so.

So.

It's two letters, so.

Have a go at writing the word so.

All right, I'm going to show you.

Are you ready? So, S-O, so.

Perfect.

The next word is I.

I, I, I.

I love to do my spellings.

I.

One letter, I.

Are you ready? Yay, there we go, I.

Check it with what you've got written down.

I, I, I.

The next word is me.

I am so proud of me.

Me, me, me.

Me.

Think about it, it's two letters.

Me.

You ready? Me, M-E, me.

Amazing.

And the final word is today.

So the final word today is today.

So have a go at writing the word today now, and it's five letters for today.

Today.

If you want to break it down, you can do to and day, today.

Right, are you ready? If not pause, I'm going to show you the word.

Today, T-O-D-A-Y, today.

Super, well done.

Right.

I'd like you now to pick two words from your spellings list and write me a sentence including those words.

I gave you a few examples when I was reading your spellings out there.

Now remember, when you're writing a sentence, it needs to start with a capital letter and end with a full stop.

Off you go.

As I said previously, today we're going to be recycling the story of Jack and the Beanstalk to create our own explanation piece on how Jack got rich.

Now to refresh our memories on the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, I have got a song for us to learn.

And it's called Explain How Jack Got Rich.

So I will sing a line and then I would like you at home to sing back with me.

Okay? So the first line goes, ♪ How did Jack get rich? Let me explain to you.

♪ ♪ Oh, how did Jack get rich? Let me explain to you.

♪ Do you think you can sing that back with me? Let's go.

♪ How did Jack get rich? Oh, let me explain to you.

♪ ♪ Oh, how did Jack get rich? Let me explain to you.

♪ Great.

Thank you for joining in.

The next line says, ♪ He climbed up the stalk, ♪ ♪ because he wanted to get to the top.

♪ ♪He climbed up the stalk, ♪ ♪ because he wanted to get to the top.

♪ You think you could do that one with me? Let's go together.

♪ He climbed up the stalk, ♪ ♪ because he wanted to get to the top.

♪ ♪ He climbed up the stalk ♪ ♪ because he wanted to get to the top.

♪ Super.

So, we've got, how did Jack get rich? The first thing was he climbed up the stalk.

Can you remember what happened when he got to the top of the Beanstalk? He.

he met a.

angel and she told him all about his dad, which made Jack very, very angry.

So we're going to say, ♪ He felt so cross, when he learned about his dad.

♪ ♪ Oh, he felt so cross, when he learned about his dad.

♪ Do you think you can join in with me? Let's do that lines together.

One, two, three.

♪ He felt so cross, when he learned about his dad.

♪ ♪ He felt so cross, when he learned about his dad.

♪ Fantastic.

And then we're going to repeat the opening line.

♪ Well, how did Jack get rich? Let me explain to you.

♪ ♪ Oh, how did Jack get rich? Let me explain to you.

♪ Now, after he got so cross, what did Jack do? He went to.

the giant's house.

Fantastic, because he learned that the giant had taken all his dad's money.

So now we're going to put that into our song.

So we're going, ♪ He went to the giant's house, ♪ ♪ because he wanted to get his money.

♪ ♪ He went to the giant's house, ♪ ♪ because he wanted to get his money.

♪ Do you think you could sing it with me? One, two, three.

♪ He went to the giant's house, ♪ ♪ because he wanted to get his money.

♪ ♪ He went to the giant's house, ♪ ♪ because he wanted to get his money.

♪ What did Jack take from the giant's house? He took a few things, didn't he? He took the money, he took the harp, and he took the golden chicken.

So we're going to sing about the golden chicken.

Okay? So it goes, ♪ And he stole the golden chicken ♪ ♪ when the giant fell asleep.

♪ ♪ Oh, he stole the golden chicken ♪ ♪ when the giant fell asleep.

♪ Okay? See if you can do that one with me.

One, two, three.

♪ And he stole the golden chicken ♪ ♪ when the giant fell asleep.

♪ ♪ Oh, he stole the golden chicken ♪ ♪ when the giant fell asleep.

♪ Then we're going to sing the first line again.

♪ Well, how did Jack get rich? Let me explain to you.

♪ ♪ Oh, how did Jack get rich? Let me explain to you.

♪ And I hope that has recapped your memory on our story of Jack and the Beanstalk, because we're going to use that to write our explanation piece together next.

When writing our explanation, we need to remember the purpose of an explanation, and it's to explain how something happened, linking the cause and the effect.

Now previously in this unit, we explored our explanation how beans grow, and identified some of our connectives that we can use in our writing to link the cause and the effect.

We had then, so, as a result of, and there are others that we can include in our shared writing today.

We are going to work together to create our new shared write on how Jack became rich.

You need to get your paper and your pencil ready.

I am going to model sections for you, and then you're going to get the opportunity to pause and write your own part of the explanation.

We'll then continue this over the next couple lessons in the unit, and at the end, we can then perform our explanation in a character role.

The first thing we need to start with is the title.

So our title is How Jack Became Rich.

Your title needs to sit at the top of your page in the centre.

Now Jack is a name so it needs a capital letter.

So How Jack Became Rich.

Super.

Now we need to move on to our introduction, to explain what our piece is about and to introduce ourself.

So our first bit is Hi, and it's a start, so it needs a capital letter at the beginning.

Hi, my name is Professor.

and then you can create your own name for your professor.

So, Hi, my name is.

Now professor also needs a capital letter because that is your name.

Professor.

Now I'm going to call myself Professor Money because it links to becoming rich.

You can think of your own name.

So I'm going to underline the word money, just to show you that you can change that one to whatever you want it to be.

And because money is also part of my name, I put a capital letter for money as well.

So, Hi, my name is Professor Money, and.

This is where we tell them what we're going to explain.

And I am here to explain how Jack became rich.

and I am, a-m here to ex-p-l-ain, ex-plain how Jack, now remember it's a name, so it needs a capital letter.

Jack became be-c-ame rich, r-ich, rich and then we just put the full stop because it's the end of our sentence.

Now I want you to have a go writing your introduction to your explanation text.

Now that you have written your introduction, we're going to move on to looking at the cause and effect to explain how Jack got rich.

So the first thing that we're going to concentrate on is Jack selling the cow for the magic beans and Jack's mom throwing the beans out the window.

So on the next slide, I have already written the first sentence for the first cause and effect.

And then we're going to have a go at deciding the end of our second sentence together.

And then you're going to pause the video and have a go at writing it yourself.

First Jack sold the cow for some beans, because, that's our connective, because he thought they were magic.

So we've got our cause and our effect here and the word because is joining them together.

He sold the cow for some beans because he thought they were magic.

So now we're going to move on to our second one.

I'm going to start it and then I would like you to finish it.

So the next thing that happened was Jack's mom wasn't happy.

Jack's mom wasn't, you've got your apostrophe in for wasn't, happy.

Then we're going to put in our connective, and the connective this time is so.

Jack's mom wasn't happy so What did she do? What was the effect of her feeling? She wasn't happy so.

What did Jack's mom do? So I want you to have a go now at filling out that sentence, just like I did for the first one.

First Jack sold the cow for some beans because he thought they were magic.

So I want you to now do the second sentence.

Jack's mom wasn't happy so.

What did she do because she wasn't happy? Off you go.

How did you find finishing the sentence to link the cause and effect of Jack's mom throwing the beans out of the window.

I'm going to reread mine now so we can check it makes sense, and then I'd like you to do the same once we have finished.

How Jack became rich.

Hi, my name is Professor Money.

So remember you could have picked your own name for money.

and I am here to explain how Jack became rich.

So I'm telling the reader what I'm explaining.

First Jack sells the cow for some beans because, got that word because to link my cause and effect, he thought they were magic.

So he sold the beans because they were magic.

Jack's mom wasn't happy so, I've got my connective there, threw them out of the window.

So I decided to finish mine with threw them out of the window.

But you might've put something else about the beans ending up out of the window and how Jack's mom did that.

So that is the start of our explanation of how Jack got rich.

And then in the next lesson, we're going to continue and write the other cause and effect to explain what else happened in order to go from throwing beans out the window to Jack being rich.

Now to finish today's lesson, I would like to leave you with a joke.

So the joke says, how did Jack know how many beans his cow was worth? How did Jack know how many beans his cow was worth? Are you ready for the punchline? He used a cow-culator.

A cow-culator.

Do you get it? Because we use a calculator to work out numbers and it's linked to Jack's cow.

So it's a cow-culator.

See if you can have a go at creating a joke linked to Jack and the Beanstalk.

Thank you for joining me today.

Let's give ourselves an ama-zing for our super effort and your wonderful work.

And I will see you in the next lesson of this unit.

See you later.
