Lesson video

Hi, everyone, my name's Miss Toole and this is Bear.

Bear and I love to find out information.

And we find the best way to do that is by asking questions.

So, Bear has got a little bit of a game to start today's lesson.

He has drawn a picture.

And he would like us to ask questions to find out what his picture is of.

So have a think at home what questions you could ask, and I'm going to ask Bear the questions to find out the picture.

So, are we ready? Right, Bear, is your picture of a person? No.

Hm.

Is your picture of an object? No.

Is your picture of an animal? Yes, oh, right.

It's of an animal.

Let's think about questions we could ask now to find out about the animal.

Is the animal a large animal? No.

Does animal live in the sea? No it doesn't live in the sea.

Does the animal fly? Does it have wings and fly, Bear? It does, so, so far we know it's an animal that flies.

Does your animal help to make honey? It does.

What animal flies and helps to make honey? Can you remember from our persuasive advert? It's the.

Bee.

Well done, Bear, love your picture, Bear, super effort.

It's of a bee.

Wow.

I wonder, could you have a go at home of drawing a picture and getting somebody to ask you questions about your picture? Or you could do it the other way and ask somebody to draw a picture and you need to ask them questions to find out about their picture.

Well done, Bear, great work.

Now in this unit, we have been exploring persuasive adverts.

Can you remember why we need to learn about persuasive adverts? That's right, it's to tell somebody to do something and give them all the great reasons why they need to do it? What are we trying to persuade somebody to do? Buy the honey.

We want them to buy our honey.

Fantastic, great work.

What are we going to be doing today? We're going to explore what a question is.

We're then going to be doing a shared write.

After that, I'm going to give you some time to do a writing on your own.

And then we're going to come back together and reflect on our question.

So today you're going to need an exercise book or paper, preferably with lines, because we're going to be doing some writing.

But don't worry if you don't have it.

A pencil for some super duper writing, and your fabulous brain.

So pause the video now to go and get your resources.

And when you've got them, press play and we can carry on with today's learning.

What is a question? A question can be used to find out information.

So we can ask somebody a question, they can give us an answer and we've learned something new.

We can also use a question in our writing to hook the reader.

So we could ask them, have you ever wondered how sticky honey tastes? And the reader can start to think, hmm, I'm not too sure about the answer.

And they'll read on to find out more.

And when we're persuading them, this is really good to get them onside and start to think about what we're giving them so that they're more likely to do what we want them to do.

Now, when we're writing a question down, there are two things we have to remember.

The first thing we need to make sure is that we start it with a capital letter.

So my question here is, have you ever wondered how sticky honey tastes? And I needed to make sure at the start I use a capital letter, same as any other sentence, but then at the end, I don't just choose a full stop.

I use a question mark, to make it clear to the reader when they're reading it, I am asking them a question.

Have you ever wondered how sticky honey tastes? It's got your capital letter at the start, and your question mark at the end.

If it just had a full stop, it wouldn't really make sense because I'm asking them, but then I'm just stopping it with a full stop, so the reader would be like, ooh, is it a question, is it not? So you've got to make sure whenever you're writing a question, it's got your question mark at the end.

We've also got question openers to help us writing questions.

So on the screen, I have put four question openers for you.

We've got who, what, why and how.

These help us to start our question.

And I want you to have a go at thinking about questions related to honey using one of our question openers.

So it might be, how do the bees make the honey? How do the bees make the honey? Or it could be, what does honey taste like? What does honey taste like? Who gets the honey from the bees? Who gets the honey from the bees? Why do we need bees for the honey? Why do we need bees for the honey? So have a go, pause the video now on the question openers and have a go at saying your question out loud, using one of our openers on the screens we've got, who, what, why and how.

Well done, super work.

I'm really proud of you for having a go at saying one of the questions.

I'm now going to show you how we can write our question down.

Remembering, we need to have a capital letter at the start, and our question mark at the end.

We're now going to have a go at writing our own question.

So we need to say our question out loud first.

So my question is, why is honey sticky? So it's four words, why is honey sticky? So I'm going to start off writing my question.

And remember, what do we need at the beginning? We need a capital letter.

So I've got my capital letter for why at the beginning.

Why is honey sticky? Why is honey, honey.

Sticky? Sticky.

And if it's a question, can you remember what I need at the end of my question? A question mark, well done.

So at the end here, I need to put in my question mark.

So why is honey sticky? I'm asking that question, Starts with a capital letter and ends with a question mark.

So I want you to have a go now at using our question openers to write your own question down.

So pause on this screen, so you've got the question openers.

Have a go and see if you can link your questions to honey.

And if you really want to challenge yourself, you can start your question with, have you ever wondered, and then put your question in.

So for example, my question that I've just written down, it would be, have you ever wondered why honey is sticky? Have you ever wondered why honey is sticky? So have a go at challenging yourself, but don't worry if you don't want to challenge, all I need you to do is write a question with your capital letter at the start and your question mark at the end.

Have a go now.

We're now going to reflect on our question writing by checking our work.

When we are checking our work, we're looking to make sure we've included a capital letter at the start and a question mark at the end.

I have written a question and I would really appreciate it if you could help me check my work.

I challenged myself by starting my question with, have you ever wondered, and I think I've included everything we need.

So let's go through and check it together.

The first thing we're going to do is read through our question.

Have you ever wondered how bees make delicious honey? I've checked, I've got my capital letter at the start.

Ooh, what am I missing at the end? What do we need to put at the end of our question? I need a.

question mark, well remembered.

I need to make sure I've got my question mark.

Now, I'd like you to go back and do the same with your questions.

So read through to check it makes sense.

And then check the start to make sure you've got your capital letter, and then make sure you've got your question mark at the end.

We have to think it, say it, and we need to make sure we punctuate it.

Have a go now and then press play to carry on with the end of the lesson.

Now that we are really great at writing questions, I can't wait to start doing our persuasive advert and adding questions into our writing.

I want you to have a look at your work and give yourselves an amazing.

Because I'm really proud of you for having a go.

So let's do it together, ready? Amazing! 'Cause I'm so proud that we've thought about our question, we've wrote our question down, and we even went back to check our question makes sense, and it's got all the different things we need a question for.

Now I wonder, what are you most proud of yourself for today? I'm most proud of myself for going back and checking my work and adding in the question mark, because sometimes we make mistakes and sometimes we forget our punctuation because we've got lots of things to remember.

But it's okay, as long as we go back and check our work.

So can you tell your screen what you are most proud of and say it in a full sentence? I am most proud at.

Lovely, and that's so nice to hear that you are proud of yourself.

Now, before we finish today, I would like to leave you with a joke, and it's a joke about bees, so are you ready? The joke is, how do bees get to school? How do bees get to school? Do you think you know? Bees get to school on the school Do you get? A bus and sound very similar.

And is the sound that a bee makes.

So bees get to school on the school See if you can have a go at writing your own bee joke, or a joke linked to our honeypot.

Thank you for joining today.

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

See you later, bye.
