Lesson video

Let's have a look then what we're going to be doing today.

We're going to start with our spellings, which we looked at in previous lessons.

Then we're going to have a go at I go, you go and Peter and myself will model that for you and then we're going to do some role play which will be really fun because we can get into character and explore our information through acting and movement which will be nice.

So today you're going to need a pencil and an exercise book for our spelling activity and then your brain for your super thinking activities.

So pause the video, go and get your resources that we need and then once you've got them you can press play and we can carry on with today's lesson.

Hi everyone, my name's Miss Toole and do you remember the name of my friend? That's right, Peter penguin.

Now Peter and I left you with a joke at the end of last session and the joke was how would a tiger describe himself? Did you get the punch line? A tiger would describe himself as purr-fect.

Do you get it? Because tiger's so a tiger would describe himself as purr-fect.

See if you can create a tiger joke for our next session.

Now we have been learning all about tigers using our information map and today we're going to use our information map to help us with our work but before we do I want to start today's lesson with a song.

Now, I think you might remember this from the previous lesson but we'll have a go, it goes ♪I'm a big tiger, big and strong.

♪ ♪ Here's my teeth and claws so long.

♪ ♪ When I get to hunting watch me run.

♪ ♪ Hear me roar, it's so much fun! ♪ Shall we have a go at doing it together? Are we ready? One, two, three.

♪I'm a big tiger, big and strong.

♪ ♪ Here's my teeth and claws so long.

♪ ♪ When I get to hunting watch me run.

♪ ♪ Here's my roar, ♪ ♪ it's so fun! ♪ I really enjoy singing with you and especially when we add some actions so let's do it one more time, so we're totally warmed up for today's lesson.

Nice and loud and big actions, are we ready? One, two, three.

♪ I'm a big tiger, big and strong.

♪ ♪ Here's my teeth and claws so long.

♪ ♪ When I get to hunting watch me run.

♪ ♪ Here's my roar, ♪ ♪ it's so much fun! ♪ Well done guys, let's keep going.

We're going to move on to see what we're learning about today.

Now do you remember the suffix that we used in one of our previous lessons to add to the word to create boastful adjectives? That's it, we were adding -est onto the word and we had four words that we looked at.

We had newest, tallest, greatest and oldest.

And these four words are the four words we're going to be focusing on today.

I want you to look at the words and look how they are spelt on the screen.

All of them have our suffix -est at the end but then they also have the root word at the beginning so we've got new -est look at how new is spelt N-E-W.

We've got tallest, look our tallest is spelt.

T-A-L-L and then we've got our -est.

We've got greatest, so again look at how it's spelt and then the -est on the end.

And our oldest, have a look at how it's spelt because sometimes when we sound them out the sound isn't always how it's written down so we've just got to make sure even with our tricky words we know the letters that we're actually writing down.

Now I'm going to read sentences to you and I want you to decide which one of these four words goes into the sentence.

So our first one is the monkey climber up the tree.

So is that newest, oldest, greatest or tallest? And write the word down on your piece of paper.

You don't need to write the sentence, you're just writing the word.

So the monkey climbed up the tree.

You can pause the video while you write the word down and then when you're ready you can press play again and I'll show you the answer.

The monkey climbed up the tree.

Is it newest? Oldest? Greatest? Or tallest? It was tallest.

The monkey climbed up the tallest tree.

Have a look at the word on the screen.

Have you spelt it correctly? If you haven't, write it down again correctly and then write it down again after that 'cause if we keep writing and keep practising we'll remember how to spell the word.

Once you've done that, you can then move on to the next one.

The tiger in the zoo was 15 years old.

The tiger in the zoo was 15 years old.

Now we know that it's not going to be tallest, because we've already had that word.

So is it newest? Oldest? Or greatest? Now it could be a couple of those words but what you do think if we're talking about age? And we've got the word old already in our sentence, which of our four words could it be? The tiger in the zoo was 15 years old.

Write the word down on your piece of paper.

Remember you can pause if you need to and when you're ready you can press play again.

The oldest tiger in the zoo was 15 years old.

Have a look at the word oldest, have you spelt it correctly? If not, like before, write it down, write it down again.

We need to keep practising these words so we are spelling them correctly.

Old -est.

We need that suffix on the end.

E-S-T.

Next sentence.

Nina the tiger cub was the member of the pack.

Now we know it's not tallest, and we know it's not oldest.

So is it newest or greatest? Now there's a clue in the sentence because it says tiger cub which tells us that's it a small, baby tiger.

So Nina the tiger cub, is it the newest or the greatest member of the pack? What do you think our word will be? Write it down on your piece of paper and remember to focus on how we spell the word correctly and you need our suffix -est on the end.

Let's have a look.

Nina the tiger cub was the newest member of the pack.

Have a look at the word, have you spelt it correctly? If not, write it down again, write it down again.

Keep practising so we have our words spelt correctly because we're going to be looking at these words in each one of our units for this term.

And then our final one is the tiger was the animal in the jungle.

Ooh which word have we not used out of our four words yet? The tiger was the animal in the jungle.

Which one might it be? Have a think.

Think how we spell that word and remember it's got to have our suffix -est on the end.

The tiger was the animal in the jungle.

Well done, the tiger was the greatest animal in the jungle.

Have a look at how you've spelt the word greatest, have a look on the screen.

Have you spelt them correctly? If not, write it down again and then write it down again after that.

Keep practising with those these four words.

Well done everybody.

Peter and I are going to have a go at doing I go, you go.

So this is where I say something then Peter says something and we're going to be doing I go, you go all about the main information that was in our piece about tigers.

Now Peter is a little bit shy so he's going to whisper his I go to me and then I'll say them both out to the screen.

And then later on, if you want to, you can get your teddy and have a go at doing I go, you go.

So first of all, we're going to do it in the order that they appear in our information, okay? So I'll go first then Peter can turn the next bit.

So tiger's are the biggest cats.

Peter says they can be as long as three metres.

My turn.

Tigers are orange, gold or white and the white ones are usually in the zoo.

Peters says they have stripes to help them hide in the grass.

I go.

We're going to look at their habitats.

Tigers are hunters.

They sleep in the day and they hunt at night.

Peters says their sharp claws and long teeth help them to catch their pray.

I go, their strong legs means they can run to catch their prey easily.

Peter says that most tigers like to swim in the lakes and rivers especially to cool off.

I go, we're onto conservation now.

There are only 4,000 tigers left in the whole world.

Peter says that's because people kill tigers for their skins.

My go.

If we carry on, there will be no tigers left in the world.

Peter says that some countries have set up nature reserves to keep the tigers safe.

My go, we're onto the ending now.

If we want to help the tigers, the first thing is to say no to anything that encourages them to kill for tigers skin.

Peter says the second thing we can do is help charities like the World Wildlife Fund because they keep the nature reserves safe.

My go.

I hope you can be a friend like I am, and Doctor Katushka is to the tigers too.

Okay, so that's I go, you go.

So it's about taking turns to re-tell the main bits of information in our piece.

So have a go with your teddies.

See if you can do I go, you go and if your teddy is a little bit shy too, maybe they can whisper in your ear like Peter did.

Now we're going to have a go at being in role and I want you to pretend we've gone into the jungle.

And in the jungle, you can becoming a reporter reporting on the tigers that are our wild in the jungle.

This is my role play bells.

And when you hear the bells it means that we get into role.

When you hear them again it means you can come out of role.

Okay? So like I said, we're going to pretend we're in the jungle and we're looking for tigers.

I'll have a go and then you can pause and have a go at your house or you can join in with me as I go along too, okay? I'm here in the jungle, reporting live, looking for tigers.

Now we've had to come in the evening because tigers are hunters and in the day you'll find them sleeping.

But at night we'll be able to see the tigers looking for their prey.

Wait! Ssh! Can you see? In the long grass over there, I think I can see stripes.

I definitely can see stripes! That must be the male tiger walking.

His sharp claws as he touches the ground, he's making a clip-clop sound.

And I can start to see his teeth appearing from his mouth.

He must've spotted some prey.

Wow! Look how fast he ran then, he's definitely chasing his prey.

Ssh! We don't want him to catch us.

Let's keep walking quietly.

Wait, did you hear that? That was a very loud roar we must be coming close to the tigers.

Let's keep walking quietly, ssh.

Let me know if you spot anything? I can see it, orange and black stripes in the grass.

They look like they're eating their food.

Ooh wow, that's amazing! Their sharp teeth definitely help them to eat their food and their claws as they rip away at their prey.

They're all sharing.

What a beautiful sight to see! Can you see anything in your jungle? Did you enjoy that? That's all using that's using our facts all about tigers to help us imagine seeing a tiger in their natural habitat.

Did you enjoy today's lesson? How do you think you were being in role of a reporter? I really enjoy lessons where we can get into the character and move our bodies and do some actions.

So what was your favourite moment of today's lesson? My favourite moment is when we did the I go, you go with Peter and we thought about all the information we found about tigers and helped each other to remember.

What was your favourite moment of today's lesson? And I want you to say it in a full sentence.

My favourite moment was.

You can tell the screen or if you've still got your teddy, you can tell your teddy.

We're just going to finish today on one more song.

Are you ready? It goes ♪ Tigers roaming in the wild ♪ ♪ In the wild ♪ ♪ In the wild ♪ ♪ Tigers roaming in the wild ♪ ♪ Hunting for their dinner! ♪ See if you can go join in and move your body how you think a tiger might move, are you ready? Let's go.

♪ Tigers roaming in the wild ♪ ♪ In the wild ♪ ♪ In the wild ♪ ♪ Tigers roaming in the wild ♪ ♪ Hunting for their dinner! ♪ Did you get loud on the end when their hunting for their dinner? Because that's the bit where they really want food.

Last time, before we say goodbye.

Are we ready? ♪ Tigers roaming in the wild ♪ ♪ In the wild ♪ ♪ In the wild ♪ ♪ Tigers roaming in the wild ♪ ♪ Hunting for their dinner! ♪ Amazing, let's give ourselves a firework hooray.

Hooray! Lovely.

I will see you in the next lesson for this unit when we'll carry on all our work looking at information around tigers.

Thank you, see you later, bye!.
