Lesson video

Hi everyone, Miss Fryer here for lesson 10 of our Honey and Trouble recycled character unit.

Thank you for sticking with me all the way through and hopefully, you'll get some fabulous writing out of it at the end.

In lesson nine, we continued writing our start of our Honey and Trouble recycled story.

Thinking about describing our main character, but also the new character friend that they asked for trouble.

I also asked you some trivia, and I asked you how many northern white rhinos there were left in the world.

How many did you think? I told you they were critically endangered, so not very many.

I mean, to be honest, I kind of wish I hadn't left this one till last, cause the answer is really sad.

There are only two northern white rhinos left in the world ,and they're both girls.

Which means they can't have any more baby northern white rhinos, and there will not be anymore.

They're going to go extinct, and that's really sad.

That's why it's so important that we look after all the rest of the rhinos that are going endangered, so that we can make sure we keep enjoying rhinos for years to come.

Today we're going to start with a song.

Then we're going to do a spelling activity before reflecting upon and continuing our shared writing.

And then it will be your chance to finish your independent writing and editing.

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.

I thought today, because it's our last lesson on Honey and Trouble, that we could sing not only one song, but two.

We could put them both together.

We could sing our "Foolish Monkey in a Tree" song, and then "He Thinks He Knows, But He Really Doesn't Know" in a big song medley, what do you think? I think we can.

Are you ready to sing? This is very brave of us to put it all together into one big song.

I'll do the whole thing, both songs through two times.

So that in case you get lost the first time or forget some of the words, then you can join in the second time.

I might get lost too, so I hope that you will help me.

I'm going to sing for my recycled character, my stork.

So you can change the words if you want to for your character and you can also change it to be a boy or a girl, up to you.

Are you ready? Okay, we'll start with "Foolish Stork".

♪ 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.

♪ "He thinks he knows" ♪ He thinks he knows, but he really doesn't know ♪ ♪ He thinks he knows, but he really doesn't know ♪ ♪ He thinks he knows, but he really doesn't know ♪ ♪ And that's what makes him foolish ♪ ♪ He asked for trouble when he wanted honey, ♪ ♪ He asked for trouble when he wanted honey, ♪ ♪ He asked for trouble when he wanted honey ♪ ♪ And that's what makes him foolish ♪ ♪ He doesn't think about why he got hurt ♪ ♪ He doesn't think about why he got hurt ♪ ♪ He doesn't think about why he got hurt ♪ ♪ And that's what makes him foolish ♪ And again.

All the way through.

We'll start with "Foolish Stork" again.

♪ 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 ♪ "He Thinks." ♪ He thinks he knows, but he really doesn't know ♪ ♪ He thinks he knows, but he really doesn't know ♪ ♪ He thinks he knows, but he really doesn't know ♪ ♪ And that's what makes him foolish.

♪ ♪ He asked for trouble when he wanted honey ♪ ♪ He asked for trouble when he wanted honey ♪ ♪ He asked for trouble when he wanted honey ♪ ♪ And that's what makes him foolish ♪ ♪ He doesn't think about why he got hurt ♪ ♪ He doesn't think about why he got hurt ♪ ♪ He doesn't think about why he got hurt ♪ ♪ And that's what makes him foolish ♪ We have been such good singers in this Honey and Trouble unit.

I'm so proud of you all.

Great job if you managed to join in the whole way through.

Now we're going to do some spellings.

We have been thinking about syllables in words.

Do you remember? We've been thinking about syllables, which are the beats in a word.

Ms. Fryer.

Or spelling.

Oak Academy.

How many syllables there? OAK A-CA-DE-MY OAK A-CA-DE-MY Five syllables in Oak Academy.

And in lesson eight, we discovered how knowing our syllables helps us, breaking up into chunks for spelling.

I have a little challenge game for you today.

I want you to have a look for things in the room that you are in, or maybe in the whole building that you are in, whether you're in school or at home to find things with different numbers of syllables.

Are you ready to get your detective skills on? Look all around you, look very carefully.

Okay, I would like you to look for things in your room with one syllable.

Have a look.

Start pointing and naming things.

What can you see in your room with one syllable? What have you found? How many things did you find? Did you find lots? Here are some other things that you might have found.

I found chair, pen, rug, and book.

They are all one syllable.

Can you count them for me? Chair, pen, rug, and book.

They have all got one syllable.

Let's ramp it up to the next level of difficulty.

Look for things in your room with two syllables.

What can you spot? Start looking around pointing.

Oh, I can see a couple of things in my living room where I am.

How many things did you find? Let's see what I found.

I saw table, pencil, rubber, and jacket.

Let's clap them.

Table.

Pencil.

Rubber.

Jacket.

They are all things with two syllables.

Trickier now.

This is like the gold standard of syllable finding.

Find things in your room that have three syllables.

This one's much harder.

Oh, I've got one.

Oh, yeah, I've got a few.

There's another one.

Shall we see what we've got? How many did you find? I've got me.

I'm someone with three syllables.

Miss Fryer.

I have three syllables, and I'm in this room.

I'm also in your room coming from your screen so you can count me as well.

I've also got a cup of tea.

I also have my computer.

Those are three syllable words, and my jacket is hung on a coat hanger.

Three syllables.

All those three syllable things.

Right, this is not just the gold standard.

This is the platinum finale challenge.

I wonder if you can find anything at all in your room that has got four syllables.

This is hard guys, look very carefully.

Have a look.

This might be easier or harder depending on what room you're in.

I've got a big four-syllable thing next to me that I've just spotted on my wall.

You might have one in your room too.

Shall we see any things? Let's see what I've got.

I've got four things.

I have my water bottle.

That's four.

Water bottle.

I also, to the side of me, have my television.

Four syllables.

I have got in front of me on my table, I've got my exercise book.

Four syllables, EX-ER-CISE BOOK.

And just over on my sofa, I can see a cuddly toy.

Four syllables.

Well done if you managed to find things in your room that had one, two, three, and four syllables.

As we did such a good job in lesson eight at breaking our words into chunks for spelling, I thought we'd do the same thing today.

I gave you three syllable words in lesson eight.

So today I'm going to make it even harder.

I'm going to give you some four syllable words to spell.

Like we did in lesson eight we're going to say the word, clap the syllables, and then phoneme finger each syllable before writing it down.

Let's do one together to practise.

We're going to do the word, delivery.

Say the word delivery.

Clap the syllables.

DE-LI-VER-Y And now we're going to phoneme finger each part.

First syllable DE D-E There's my DE Now my next part LI L-I LI Third syllable VER V-ER and my last one Y So the end of a word so it's a happy Y on the end of a word.

DE-LI-VER-Y DELIVERY Good job.

Are you ready to have a try by yourself? Okay.

My first word that I'm going to give you is the word, infinity.

Say the word infinity, clap the syllables IN-FIN-I-TY infinity See if you can phoneme finger each section and right it down.

Are you writing? Pause the video if you need more time.

Let's have a look at infinity, shall we? First syllable IN Then we've got a syllable there FIN I TY infinity, IN-FIN-I-TY, infinity.

Lovely.

My next word.

I would like you to spell the word entertainment.

Entertainment.

Have a go say the word entertainment Clap the syllables EN-TER-TAIN-MENT Now, phoneme finger the sections EN TER TAIN MENT Start with EN pause the video if you need more time.

Let's have a look entertainment.

There it is.

First syllable E-N, EN Second syllable TER T-ER Third one T-AI-N, TAIN and last one M-E-N-T, MENT EN-TER-TAIN-MENT This is why spelling with syllables is such a good idea, and it really helps because entertainment has E-N-T-ER-T-AI-N-M-E-N-T 11 sounds That is a lot of sounds to keep in our head at once.

So breaking up into syllables, mean we only have to remember maximum of four at once.

Let's do another one.

Let's do helicopter.

Helicopter.

Say the word Helicopter.

Clap the word HE-LI-COP-TER Now phoneme finger the different parts HE LI COP TER Helicopter Pause the video if you need more time.

HE-LI-COP-TER Let's have a look.

First syllable H-E, HE second syllable LI, L-I third syllable C-O-P, COP and fourth syllable T-ER, TER.

Last one now as our last spelling word of unit eight.

My word is everlasting.

Everlasting.

Say the word everlasting, clap the word E-VER-LAST-ING Everlasting.

Phoneme finger each section.

The first one's easy, it's just E have a go.

Pause if you need to.

Let's have a look.

E is my first one, that's easy.

It's one sound.

My second syllable, VER, V-ER Then we've got LAST, L-A-S-T, LAST and then finally ING, I-NG EVERLASTING.

Look at those complicated words that you can spell.

If you can break your word into chunks with syllables.

Syllables are really, really useful things to know.

We are going to be carrying on with the writing that we started in lesson eight and nine.

So if you don't have it with you already, then pause the video now to go and get it.

You're going to need it.

Take this time to read over what you have written so that you know what you have got to.

And we know that's the point we're to carry on from today.

Also check which parts of our writing toolkit that you've included already with your writing, and which one do you still need to put in today.

We still need all of these for all of our characters, physical appearance and dress, actions.

They say our personalities.

Speech and thoughts and feelings.

Those are those four key areas to write characters we care about.

Check for that while you are reading your writing.

So I'm ready now to continue writing my story.

Well, I'm excited to write some more.

So I realised that in my section I wrote in lesson nine, I didn't write about Sister Python's thoughts at all.

So I'm going to sort that out first.

I think I'm going to think about something that she has thought.

Now the stork has just asked her for trouble.

So she's probably thinking that's a bit strange.

It's a very odd thing for somebody to ask for.

So I think that's what I'm going to do first.

So I'm going to say Sister Python thought that this was a very odd thing to ask for.

That's a big sentence.

So I'm going to break it up.

Sister Python thought that this was a very odd thing to ask for.

That's a lot.

Sister Python thought this was that will start us, due to start us off.

Sister Python thought this was, on your shoulders, Sister Python thought this was, on your nose, Sister Python thought this was, on our fingers, Sister Python thought this was.

First five words.

Here we go.

Capital S for her name.

S-I-S-T-ER Sister Python I can use my spellings from up here as well.

Sister Python thought, which I've already written in my writing today so I can copy my spelling.

Sister Python thought this, TH-I-S was, W-A-S was a very odd thing to ask for.

Let's tap that out on our chin, a very odd thing to ask for.

On our ears, a very odd thing to ask for.

On our knees, a very odd thing to ask for.

On our fingers, a very odd thing to ask for.

Seven words.

This was a very, V-E-R-Y, very O DD, odd TH I NG odd thing to T-O spells to to A-S-K, ask F-OR.

Sister Python thought this was a very odd thing to ask for.

Full stop.

New sentence.

What does she do when he asks her for trouble? She is going to bite him.

She is going to open her huge jaws.

She opened her huge jaws, not drawers.

Quite a any drawers in the forest.

She, S-H-E spells she, She O that's it O splitting PE-N, E-D for past tense opened her H-ER H-UE, now J, a G-G-G becomes a J-J-J causing a split diagraph.

Opened her huge J AWS, opened her huge jaws and, bit's a bit of a boring word let's say, struck.

Can you sound that out for me? S-T-R-U-CK, struck S-T-R-U-CK struck.

C-K ending cause we've got that short vowel sound, U-U-U, struck.

Biting the stork on the leg.

Biting the stork on the leg.

Biting, we get rid of the E when we add I-N-G.

Biting the S-TOR-K O-N the L-E-G, end of sentence, full stop.

Well as we say when he gets hurt, some speech.

I don't know why I'm doing it down here.

On here he says Remember when we do the exclamations we're going to add lots of Ws.

Lots of Ws.

Exclamation mark, said the S-T-OR-K, full stop.

We haven't really heard any of his thoughts, have we either? So I'm going to say he thought, no, we've already had thought, Sister Python thought.

He wondered.

He wondered why his friend had hurt him.

He wondered why his friend had hurt him.

Capital letter H and E spells he wondered, we've had wondering now we're having wondered E-D instead of I-N-G, he wondered, tricky word, why W-H-Y spells why.

Why his friend, Why his friend hurt, H UR- T hurt H I- M, him.

And then the next thing he's going to do is go and ask Sister Jackal.

So let's write that.

He went to ask Sister Jackal, He W-E-N-T, went to A-S-K, ask capital letter for a name.

S--I-S-T-ER, Sister J-ACK-A-L, full stop.

Okay, let's read this through.

Sister Python thought this was a very odd thing to ask for.

She opened her huge jaws and struck, biting the stalk on the leg, said the stork.

He wondered why his friend had hurt him.

He went to ask Sister Jackal.

Now, when you do your writing, you could go on to write about your second friend, but I'm going to stop for today.

Or you'll be watching me write forever, but now it's definitely time for you to have a go.

Now that I've done mine, it's time for you to have a go at writing yours, write your next story section, describing your character and their friend using our toolkit.

If you've got time, or if you just want to, you could follow my challenge.

You could carry on and describe your next main character meeting their next friend, or even all three of them.

Pause the video now to complete your task.

Now that we've got our last of our independent writing done it's time for our last bit of editing so let's go.

As always, we want to be editing under three different headings.

Our first edit heading is making sure the purpose is right.

The purpose of our writing is to describe the main inner quality of our character.

I want to describe my stork's foolishness and my Python's laziness.

Their my characters.

Your second character might be different.

Then we need to swap, add and delete things that we have written to make it more refined and even better.

That's what I'm going to do now.

Time for my last sad edit.

So I want to see if there's anything I want to swap, add, or delete today on my last bit of my writing.

Yes, I've spotted something already.

I want to add something first today.

I want to add an adjective for the stork's leg.

We haven't spoken about the stork and his physical appearance for a while.

So I'm going to delete the, I'm going to swap it for his and then add an adjective for his leg.

I'm going to use the word skinny.

He has a skinny leg, their thin.

Isn't it? Another word for thin.

S-K-I-NN-Y, skinny with a K because the letter that follows it is an I.

Like this is in our song.

I am K And I'm here to say it's E and I.

Okay.

So I've swapped, added and deleted there.

Struck biting the stork on his skinny leg.

said the stork.

He wondered why his friend had hurt him.

I'm going to add actually to this sentence, get rid of this full stop.

Cause I don't, haven't talked enough about his feelings.

I'm going to use that word from my first outline that I had for the monkey.

He was one.

He wondered why his friend had hurt him, and he was puzzled.

I'm going to add in.

And he was puzzled P-U-ZZ-L- and then E-D for past tense.

And he was puzzled so move the full stop to here.

So I swapped, added and deleted up here.

So it says that she bit him on his skinny leg.

I've added that extra feeling word puzzled.

He wondered why his friend had hurt him and he was puzzled.

I think I'm happy with that one.

Maybe you can see what you need to swap, add, or delete today.

Maybe you could add a whole another section of your story, a whole other friend.

That would be a very impressive thing to add indeed.

And the last thing we need to do is to five finger check our sentences.

We need to make sure that we've got capital letters, finger spaces, check our spellings, check for full stops and make sure our writing makes sense.

Time for you to edit, check for your main inequality, then do your side edits.

And finally, your five finger check.

Pause the video so that you can edit.
