Lesson video

Hello everyone.

My name is Miss Barron.

In this unit, we are learning all about instructions.

Now, I've already found instructions really useful today.

This morning, a button fell off my shirt, and so I had to sew it back on.

In order to do that, I had to read and follow a set of instructions.

Now, I wonder if you've had to follow any instructions since we last met or whether you've had to give anybody else a set of instructions, to tell them how to do something.

Do you remember in lesson one, I told you how to make a magic hat.

Well today, you are going to learn to tell about a set of instructions from memory so that you can tell anybody else you like how to make a magic hat too.

So this is how we're going to do that.

First, we're going to sing our instruction, then you're going to hear the instructions again, to remind you how to make the magic hat.

We're going to retell it from our instructions map, then we're going to set the set of instructions to help us remember it.

And finally, you're going to speak the instructions.

So by the end of today's lesson, you will be able to tell it from memory in your own way.

So in today's lesson, you will need a piece of paper or an exercise book to write on, a pen or a pencil to write with and if you have it still your instructions map from less than one.

That would be really useful.

Pause the video now and go and get those things if you need to.

Fantastic, you are back with everything you need to start the learning today.

Now then.

First, we're going to start with our instruction some again, to remind us what instructions are and why they're so useful.

First, time for our instruction song.

Join in with me as soon as you can.

I think you can remember from lesson one.

Ready? ♪ Instructions, instructions ♪ ♪ How shall we do it ♪ ♪ Instructions, instructions ♪ ♪ How shall we do it ♪ ♪ Explain what it is for ♪ ♪ Explain what you need ♪ ♪ Explain what to do ♪ ♪ That's how you do it ♪ Join him with me.

♪ I said, instructions, instructions ♪ ♪ How shall we do it ♪ ♪ Instructions, instructions ♪ ♪How shall we do it ♪ ♪ Explain what it is for ♪ ♪ Explain what you needs ♪ ♪ Explain what to do ♪ ♪ That's how you do it ♪ There's our instruction song.

So that song reminds us why instructions are so important, what they are and how to give them.

Remember, instructions tell somebody how to do something.

So we need instructions so that we can learn how to do things.

And we need to be able to give instructions so that we can tell other people how to do things too.

So now, I'm going to tell you again, how to make a magic hat.

Oh, hello everyone.

It's me again, the Magic Hat-maker.

Now, you know how much I love to make hats.

And I make all sorts of hats.

I make tall hats and short tats, fat hats and thin hats, all sorts of hats.

But the very best hat to make is the magic hat.

When you put it on your head, it will show you the thing you want most.

One day, it might be covered in butterflies.

The next it might be covered in suites.

Another, it might pop footballs out the top, but I'm the only person in the world that knows how to make it.

So shh.

I'm going to tell you how to make it today, but don't tell anyone it's going to be our secret.

You will need the horn of a unicorn, the tooth of a dragon, the song of a mermaid, the snot of a giant, a ray of silva moonlights and a big gold bucket.

This is what you do.

First catch a ray of silver Moonlight in your gold bucket.

Next, add your unicorn horn and your dragon tooth.

After that, mix it all together with a snot of a giant and finally sing the song of a mermaid.

It goes like this.

♪ I am a mermaid from the deep blue sea ♪ ♪ Don't you want some magic like me ♪ ♪ My tail is full of magic you see ♪ ♪ That's why there's magic in the deep blue sea ♪ Sing it with me this time.

♪ I am a mermaid from the deep blue sea ♪ ♪ Don't you want some magic like me ♪ ♪ I tail is full of magic you see ♪ ♪ That's why there's magic in the deep blue sea ♪ Then the magic hat will appear on your head.

So that's how you make a magic hat.

When you put it on you look fantastic and you will feel like you can do anything.

Now, if you've got your map from less one, make sure you have it in front of you for this part.

If you don't have a map from lesson one, don't worry.

You can use mine, it's on the screen and draw yours after.

And I'm also going to show you a bigger version now, that I'm going to talk you through.

Now, we're going to talk our instruction maps to remind us exactly how to make a magic hat.

So I'm going to show you how to use the pictures on your maps to help remind you.

Now, listen to me talk my map first, then it's going to be your turn to talk your map.

So our maps are going to remind us what a magic hat is for what we need to make one, what we do to make one and what the magic hat will do for us once we've got it.

So the magic hat is the very best hat to make because it shows us the thing we want most.

One day, it might be covered in butterflies.

The next, it might be sweets another, it might pop footballs out the top.

This is what you will need to make one.

You will need the horn of a unicorn, the tooth of a dragon, the song of a mermaids, the snot of a giant, a ray of silver moonlight and a gold bucket.

This is what you do.

First catch a ray of silver moonlight in your buckets.

Next, add your unicorn horn and your dragon tooth.

After that, mix it all together with the snap of a giant.

Finally, sing the song of a mermaid.

Then the magic hat will suddenly appear on your head.

And once it's on your head, it will make you look fantastic and make you feel like you can do anything you want.

Now it's your turn to talk your map.

So pause the video now and do that.

Okay, so now that we've heard it and we've talked our maps, we are now going to set our set of instructions to help us remember it even better.

Okay, so like I said, we are now going to step out our set of instructions.

Doing the actions is really going to help us remember it.

Now we're going to step the key sections first.

So the bubbles on our map.

We're going to do a step for those first.

So watch me and then you're going to join in with me, okay.

Introduction, what you need, what you do, ending.

Okay, do those with me, ready? So big clear actions and then your phrase to go with each step phrase or word, lets go.

Introduction, what you need, what you do, ending.

Fantastic, so those are the key sections in our instruction piece that tell us what it's for, what we need, what to do, and then the end, why it's so fantastic.

Now we're going to do actions and steps to show the pictures inside the bubbles, on our maps.

So again, watch me first and then you're going to join in with me.

Introduction, butterflies, sweets, footballs, what do you need, horn, tooth, some, ray, snot , bucket, what to do, catch a ray, add the horn and the tooth, mix it all together, sing the song, ♪ Aah ♪ Ending.

The hat appears.

You look fantastic.

You feel great.

So that's stepping the content, the pictures inside each of our bubbles on our maps with clear actions.

So do it again with me now.

I want you to join in this time and you notice how I took a step forward for our key sections and then it's set to the side for the actions in each section of our instruction piece.

So do it with me, ready? Introduction, butterflies, sweets, footballs, what you need horn, tooth, ♪ Aah ♪ song, snot, ray, buckets, what you do, catch the ray, at the horn and the tooth, mix it all together.

Sing this song.

♪ Ahh ♪ Ending.

The hat appears.

You look fantastic.

You feel great.

Well done, great job.

Stepping our set of instructions.

Now you might like to pause the video now and do that again.

If not, let's move on.

And now we're ready to tell our instructions for memory because now we've heard it.

We've mapped it and we've stepped in.

So now we're ready to have a go at telling it in our own words by heart.

Hello, everyone.

It's me, the Magic Hat-maker.

Now you know, I love to make hats.

I love to make tall hats and short hats, fat's hats and thin hats, all sorts of hats.

But the very best hat to make is the magic hat.

When you put it on, it shows you the thing you want most.

One day, it might be covered in butterflies.

The next it might be covered in sweets.

Another, footballs might pop out the top of it.

Now this is what you need to make it.

You will need the horn of a unicorn, the tooth of a dragon, a ray of silver moonlights, the snot of a giant, the song of a mermaid and a gold buckets.

This is what you do.

First, catch a ray silver moonlight in your gold buckets.

Next, add your unicorn horn and your dragon tooth.

Then mix it all together with a snot of a giant.

Finally, sing the mermaid song.

Come on, sing it with me now.

♪ I am a mermaid from the deep blue sea ♪ ♪ Don't you want some magic like me ♪ ♪ My tail is full of magic you see ♪ ♪ That's why there's magic in the deep blue sea ♪ Sing that song and suddenly the magic hat will appear on your head.

When you wear the magic hat, you will look fantastic and you will feel like you can do anything.

And that's how to make a magic hat.

Now it's your turn to speak the set of instructions in your own way.

You might like to get into role as I did.

I really liked telling it in role as the Magic Hat-maker.

You might like to find a hat in your house and pretend that you're the Magic Hat-maker too.

Now, when you speak your instruction piece, have a think about using your voice and your body to help you tell it really clearly.

So tell it with a clear voice.

Think about your pace, which means how fast or slow you're talking.

So often you might want to speak it a bit slower so that people can really understand you.

Use your facial expressions and your actions to help make it really clear too.

Sometimes when we give instructions, it's really good to put actions with it because it really helps people to understand.

So pause the video now and have a go at telling the set of instructions, how to make a magic hat in your own way.

Well done for your brilliant hard work today.

Learning to tell that set of instructions from memory.

Now you can tell anyone you like how to make a magic hat.

So before we finish, I would like to do two things.

First, I'd like us to sing the mermaid song again, because that's really important, isn't it? Remember without it, the magic hat does not appear on our heads.

So we need to know it.

You ready to sing it with me? Let's go, aye.

♪ I am a mermaid from the deep blue sea ♪ ♪ Don't you want some magic like me ♪ ♪ My tail is full of magic you see ♪ ♪ That's why there's magic in a deep blue sea ♪ Fantastic, well done.

Now, the last thing I want to do is to tell you how to make a different type of hat.

Now, this is one that you can do really easily at home with the help of an adult.

So let me make that really clear.

In order to do this, you must make sure that you have an adult with you.

Now, I want to tell you how to make a simple paper hat with your name on it.

So let me put it on my head so you can see it.

There's my hat with my name, Kate.

And I've drawn a rainbow because I really like rainbows.

Now, I'm going to tell you today how to make a paper hat with your name on it.

This is what you will need.

You will need a piece of paper, here it is.

You will need a piece of paper, some scissors, some sellotape, or some glue and some fell tips.

This is what you do.

First, take your piece of paper and fold it in half length ways, like this.

Then, run your fingers along the fold so that you can see the folds clearly.

Then, take your scissors and cut along the fold.

So I'm going to show you that now.

So, cut along the pole and you will have two strips of paper.

After that, take your glue or sellotape and stick two ends of your two strips of paper together like this.

So, it will look like this.

Your two strips will be stuck together.

After that, you are going to take your fell tip and write your name on one of the strips.

And you might like to do some pictures around it.

After that you are going to put it around your head and measure where it fits your head.

You will then take it off and use your glue or sellotape to stick those two ends together.

And then you will have a paper hat that fits your head with your name on it.

And it will look something like this.

But instead of saying, Kate, it will probably say a different name and you can decorate it any way you like.

So that is how to make a paper hat with your name on it.

And like I said, remember, you're going to have a go at this, make sure that you ask an adult to help you.

So that is the end of our learning today.

But before I leave you, I want to give you one last challenge.

Can you instruct someone in your household, maybe a parent or carer or perhaps even one of your toys, maybe your teddy bear to make a magic hat without looking at your map.

So can you tell them how to do it from memory without using your map to help you.

That is my challenge for you, for you to have it go out before we see each other in the next lesson.

So I hope you've enjoyed the lesson today.

I have really enjoyed working with you and I look forward to seeing you in lesson three, bye.
