Lesson video

Hello, my name is Miss Barron, and I love stories.

In today's lesson, we are exploring a character's thoughts and feelings.

You guessed it.

We're thinking about the hatmaker's's son's thoughts and feelings when the monkeys don't give him his hats back.

So we are continuing our learning from last lesson.

Now, I left you with a question at the end of lesson eight, didn't I? I wonder if you had a think about it? The question was, if you were the hatmaker, what advice would you give your son? So what would you tell him to do? I wonder what you came up with.

Can you tell me now in a full sentence? I think he should, tell your screen now.

That was really interesting to hear.

I wonder if he did any of those things.

Now, this is what the learning is going to look like today.

We are going to do a speaking game to start with, then we're going to recap the problem for the hatmaker's son.

We're going to hot seat the hatmaker's son, and finally, we are going to write a thought and speech bubble to show what he's thinking and what he's saying.

So, like always, you are going to need something to write on, a piece of paper or an exercise book and a pencil or a pen.

So pause the video now if you don't have those things, and go and get them.

Now, we're going to play a speaking game to practise using our voices in different ways to show different feelings.

And we're going to do that using some sentences that the hatmaker's son says in the story.

So let me read the first sentence.

I know how to get my hats back.

Now, if you notice there's a blue box next to that sentence.

In that blue box is the word confidently.

Confidently means that you feel really sure of yourself.

That you really feel like you know what you're doing.

So I'm going to say that sentence again, but this time I'm going to say it confidently.

See if you notice the difference.

I know how to get my hats back! Did you notice the difference there? It sounded different.

I put more emphasis on my voice.

Now I want you to have a go at saying it in that way.

So I want you to say it really confidently to your screen now.

Go on, tell your screen.

Super job, you sounded so confident, so sure of yourself, well done.

Now let's do the next one.

My dad told me this story.

And in the blue box next to it, is the word boastfully.

Now, if you're boastful, it means that you're showing off.

So I'm going to say this sentence again now boastfully, in a really showing off way.

See if you notice the difference this time.

My dad told me this story! Did you notice the difference? So boastfully, I was really showing off there those monkeys.

Have a go at saying that sentence boastfully like I did.

Say it to your screen now.

Wow, that was really boastful.

You were really showing off to those monkeys.

Now let's do the last one.

Come on then you silly monkeys, copy me.

And the word in the blue box next to it is angrily.

So I'm going to say the sentence again, but this time angrily.

See if you notice the difference.

Come on then you silly monkeys, copy me! Did you notice the difference? You might have noticed the change in my voice, but also my gestures, my actions that I did to help me say that more angrily.

So can you have a go at saying that to your screen now angrily.

Go on your turn.

Tell your screen.

Oh my goodness, you were so angry then I was actually quite scared, well done.

So that's using our voice in different ways to get across different feelings.

When we're in role as the hatmaker's son today, we might want to think about how we can say some of our sentences confidently, boastfully, or angrily to show those different feelings.

Now let's use our map, to help us step this part of the story for the hatmaker's son.

Here are my pictures from lesson eight that I drew to help me retell the problem section of the story for the hatmaker's son.

Now, if you have your drawings from lesson eight, you can use those to help you step.

If not, don't worry, you can use mine.

I'm going to put this at the side to help me with my stepping.

So I'm going to step this section first and then you're going to do it with me.

So watch me first.

So that was me stepping the problem section of the story for the hatmaker's's son.

Now joining with me, are you ready? Let's do it again, join in with me.

I wonder if you could work out what was happening in each step.

We're going to step again, but this time going to put a sentence with each step and it's going to be my turn, your turn.

So watch and listen carefully so you're ready to join in.

His basket was empty, your turn.

He knew where they were, your turn.

I know how to get my hats back! Your turn.

He threw his hat on the ground, but the monkeys didn't move, your turn.

He threw his hat down again and again and again, but still they didn't move, your turn.

The hatmaker's's son was sad.

He went home with nothing, your turn.

So that was stepping out the problem section of the story for the hatmaker's son.

What was your favourite action that we just did? Can you tell me now in a full sentence, my favourite action was.

That is super to hear.

My favourite action was, "I know how to get my hats back!" because that one's quite playful.

It's very boastful, isn't it? We learned that word at the beginning of the lesson.

It's boastful, he's showing off.

So we just stepped the problem section of the story because doing actions really helps us to remember things.

And so does song.

So now we're going to sing our poem song from lesson eight.

Don't worry if you can't remember it, or if you weren't here, because it's really easy to pick up.

I'm going to sing it.

If you can join in with me ready? I know what to do, I throw down my hat, come on monkeys copy me, I feel sad and angry.

Okay, we're going to sing it again.

This time join in with me and try and do the actions too if you can, ready? I know what to do, I throw down my hat, come on monkeys copy me, I feel sad and angry.

Well done, great job.

Now, at the end of last lesson, I set you a challenge.

I asked if you wanted to create your own poem song.

So if you did, you might want to pause the video now and have a go at singing that either to my tune or your own tune that you came up with.

Okay now, we are going to hot seat the hatmaker's son at this moment in the story.

Have a look at the picture on your screen.

This is the moment when the hatmaker's son is really angry because he keeps throwing his hat down again and again and again, and those monkeys do nothing.

So we are going to put the hatmaker's son into the special hot seat.

And we are going to have a special guest reporter come and interview him to ask him some questions.

Hi everyone, my name is the hatmaker's son and I've just had the most terrible day.

In fact, everyone's heard about it.

It's even made national news.

The BBC have asked me to go on the news and be interviewed in their special hot seat.

And they've got their best reporter on the case.

Should we meet him? Here he is.

The BBC's best reporter Maurice and he's going to ask me some questions.

What's that? How did I feel? Good question, I felt furious.

I kept throwing my hat down on the floor again and again and again, and those monkeys just didn't copy me.

They weren't doing what they were supposed to do.

I felt very frustrated.

What's that? What was I thinking? I was thinking what is going on? Why won't those monkeys copy me? What did I say? I said lots of things.

I said, come on, copy me then.

Throw your hats down on the ground.

Hurry up, copy me.

But they did nothing, they just didn't do what I said.

What did I do? Well, what could I do? I couldn't do anything.

Those monkeys ran off into the forest with my hats and I was left with nothing.

I had nothing to sell at market that day.

I had to go home empty handed.

You're sorry, you're sorry for my loss.

Well, thank you.

That means a lot to me.

I feel really sorry for myself too.

Well, I enjoyed being interviewed.

Thanks for having me on the show, thanks for having me on the news today.

Your pleasure, great.

Well, maybe we can speak again soon, let me know if you find my hats, I want them back.

Now it's your turn to get into role as the hatmaker's son and sit in the hot seat and be interviewed.

If you're on your own, you might want to play the two roles yourself.

You could play the role of the hatmaker's son and the reporter asking the questions.

Here are the questions on the screen in front of you.

If there's somebody in your household that you can play with, then ask them to be the reporter.

And you can answer in role as the hatmaker's son, or you might want to use one of your toys as I did.

And the toy can be the reporter, pause the video now and have a go.

Now we've done our role play.

We are ready to write a speech and thought bubble to show what the hatmaker's son is thinking and saying at this moment in the story.

This is the moment that we have been building up to all lesson.

This is the moment when he is really angry because he throws his hat down, expecting the monkeys to do the same and copy him and they don't.

So, what do you think the hatmaker is thinking at this moment? Tell me in a full sentence.

He is thinking, tell your screen now.

Wow, there are some amazing ideas today.

Let me tell you some of the ones I just heard.

I heard," This is madness." I really liked that idea because it shows how confused he is.

He thinks this is just mad.

I also heard, "What is going on?" I like that.

That's a question that he's asking himself shows that he's really confused again.

And finally I heard, "I do not understand." I like that one too, because again it shows how confused he is.

I think I'm going to choose the first one though.

You might like a different idea or you might have an idea of your own.

If you do keep it in your head, you're going to write it down later, but I'm going to choose, this is madness.

Now let's say it's out loud together.

Say it with me, "This is madness." Now let's count the number of words on our fingers.

This-is-madness.

That's three words.

Okay, now you're going to help me sound it out.

This, th-i-s, this And remember, I need a capital letter to begin my sentence, don't I? Th-i-s, this is i-z, is Now it sounds like a z sound, but it's actually a s at the end of is.

This is madness.

Now sound madness out with me.

Are we ready? M-a-d-n-e-ss, madness.

M-a-d-n-ess, and it's a double s on the end.

It's our ss diagraph.

This is madness.

Now what punctuation do I need at the end of my sentence? This is madness.

I could put a full stop, but I'm going to put an exclamation mark.

Remember those show strong feelings, don't they? And we know at this point in the story the hatmaker is really angry.

So, if he's really angry I can end my sentence with an exclamation mark.

This is madness! That's what he's thinking.

Now, What's he saying? I wonder, do you have an idea? What do you think the hatmaker is saying at this point? Tell me now, tell me your idea.

I think he's saying, tell your screen.

Lots of fantastic ideas again.

Let me tell you some of the ones I heard.

I heard, "Copy me now you cheeky monkeys." I really like that one because it shows how angry he is and he's called them cheeky, which shows that he's not happy with them.

I also heard, "Throw down your hats then." I like that one too, because he's telling them what he wants them to do, he's giving them an order.

And I also heard, "My dad told me this story." Now I like that one and it's definitely something he says in the story, but I think it's something he says before this point.

He says that when he's feeling really confident that he can get them back.

At this point, he's really angry and he's not sure what's going on.

So I'm going to choose the second option.

Throw down your hats then.

So you might like one of the other options, or you might have your own idea, if you do keep it in your head.

But right now you're going to help me write my sentence.

"Throw down your hats then," say it with me out loud, "Throw down your hats then." Now act it out with me.

"Throw down your hats then!" Now we're going to count the number of words on our fingers.

Throw-down-your-hats-then, that's five words, right.

Are you ready to help me sound it out? Throw, th-r-ow, throw let's robot it, th-r-ow, throw.

Now throw, th-r-ow.

And it's the ow diagraph as in row and bow.

Throw down.

We can sound that one out, can't we? Ready? D-ow-n, down.

And that was the ow diagraph as in cow.

Throw down your, I'm going to write that word for you.

Throw down your hats.

We can sound that one out.

Throw down your h-a-t-s.

Throw down your h-a-t-s, Throw down your hats then.

Ready to sound that went out with me? Th-e-n, then.

Throw down your hats then.

Now, at the end of my sentence, am I going to have a full stop or an exclamation mark? What do you think? Tell me now, which one do you think? I think you're right.

I think I'm going to put an exclamation mark instead of a full stop.

Because again, it's a really strong feeling, isn't it? He's really angry.

And he's shouting at them.

He's saying, "Throw down your hats then!" So I'm going to end my sentence with an exclamation mark, which looks like this.

So these are my two sentences.

This is what he's thinking.

He's thinking, "This is madness." This is what he's saying, "Throw down your hats then!" Now it's over to you to write your own speech and thought bubble sentences for the hatmaker at this moment in the story.

So I want you to draw a picture in the middle of your piece of paper.

Like the one I just showed you or the one on your screen now.

Then you're going to draw a bubble above his head in which you are going to write the sentence about what he's thinking.

And then a bubble next to his mouth, like the pink bubble on this screen, in which you are going to write your sentence to show what he's saying.

I've given you some key words to help you.

Come, copy, give, why, my, naughty and monkeys.

Those are the words on the screen to help you, if you'd like to use them.

Remember to five finger check your sentence after you've written it.

Pause the video now and have a go.

Here's the last part of our learning today.

I want to finish with one final question for you.

How is the hatmaker's son feeling at the end of the story do you think? I've got three options for you.

Which one do you most agree with? Which one do you think he mainly feels? Do you think he feels confused? Which means he's not sure what's going on.

Do you think he mainly feels upset? Or do you think he mainly feels angry? Have a think now.

I want you to answer in a full sentence.

You're going to say, "I think he mainly feels.

because.

." Can you tell me now, tell your screen.

That was really interesting to hear your ideas.

I think he could feel any one of those feedings, couldn't he? or he might even feel a mixture of all three.

But I think he mainly feels angry because he's lost all of his hats and now he can't make any money.

I also think he feels angry because he feels a bit foolish.

Those monkeys have made a fool of him.

He thought he knew exactly how to get them back and they outsmarted him, didn't they? They got the better of him.

I actually feel a bit sorry for the hatmaker's son at the end of the story.

Now, if you want an extra challenge, have a go at writing your sentence down.

Write it down on a piece of paper in a full sentence.

Pause the video now and have a go at that.

And that is the end of our learning for today.

Well done, you have been story setting superstars.

You've worked so hard, I am really impressed.

Now, if you would like to, I would love to see some of your work if you'd like to share it with me.

So if you'd like to please ask your parents or carer to share your work on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, tagging @OakNational, @KateEBarron, at #LearnwithOak.

But for now I am going to say goodbye and I will see you in the next lesson, bye.
