Lesson video

Hello, everyone.

I'm Miss Corbett, and welcome back to the final lesson in the English unit "Wild." Today, we'll be writing the end of the story by writing to resolve the problem in "Wild." You will have written the end of the story by the end of this lesson from the girl's perspective, meaning you've written a story from the beginning to the end.

For this lesson, as always, you will need your listening ears, let me see if you've got them, your looking eyes, and your thinking brain.

Fantastic! You will also need somebody to talk to.

So if you're at school, that's somebody that your teacher will tell you.

And if you're at home, you need to find someone nearby in your home.

You'll also, today, as we are writing, need something to write with.

You will need a pencil and some paper with lines and something straight to write on so you do your neatest handwriting.

I'd also like you to have a go at warming up your hands.

So I'd like you now to pause the video, make sure you have everything ready and your hands are warmed up, ready for writing.

Pause the video now.

Brilliant.

Let's move on to our keywords.

Our keywords help us get through our lesson.

Now, my turn and your turn.

Let me hear you.

Ending, ending.

We are writing the ending of our story today.

Problem, problem.

To get to the end, we need to solve the problem in the story.

Adverb, adverb.

An adverb describes a verb.

Adjective, adjective.

An adjective describes a noun.

Let's go through them one more time, a bit quicker.

Let me make sure I can hear you.

Ending, problem, adverb, adjective.

That was fantastic.

I think we're ready to start our lesson.

The first part of our lesson is preparing to write, so making sure that we have our sentences in our head ready to go.

Now, we'll have our success criteria for today, but when we write, we always need to remember these other things.

The first thing is to always use a capital letter at the start of every sentence, and most sentences end with a full stop.

Questions end with a question mark, and some sentences, to show a strong feeling, might also end with an exclamation mark, but we don't use those as often.

We always try to write our letters neatly on the line with our best letter formation and handwriting.

We use our phonic strategies to sound out and spell words, really taking our time with that.

But for those words that we can't sound out, we make sure that we know some spellings of some common exception words.

Let's see whether this sentence has managed to meet that criteria.

I'm going to read it.

"I screamed loudly anb I destroyed the hous!" Hmm.

I can see some great things about this sentence, and I can also spot some magical mistakes.

Let's go through each one.

Has this sentence got a capital letter at the start? Can you point to it for me? Yes, it has.

It has a capital letter I.

Well done.

And has it got a punctuation at the end, a full stop, or an exclamation mark? This isn't a question, so it would not be a question mark.

Has it got one of those? Can you point to it? There it is.

Fantastic.

So it has an exclamation mark.

So we have our correct punctuation, and we have an exclamation mark because it's saying that somebody screamed loudly and destroyed the house.

That's definitely a strong emotion.

The letters are written neatly on the line, and phonics has been used to sound out and spell words.

But I can see two of our common exception words not spelled correctly.

I'm going to give you 10 seconds, and I wonder if you can spot those words.

"I screamed loudly anb I destroyed the hous!" Hmm.

Can you point to those two words now? 10 seconds.

Five.

And zero.

(gasps) Well done.

You spotted that the word anb is spelt incorrectly, and I think this person has chosen to use a letter b instead of a d or has switched those letters round, and the word house is also spelt incorrectly.

Because even though it's sounded out beautifully, h ou s, we know that house ends in a letter e.

Let's see if we can do a drum roll, and those magical mistakes will be fixed.

Drum roll, please.

There they are.

Now, we have spelt our common exception words correctly, and I can read the sentence, and it can make sense.

"I screamed loudly and I destroyed the house!" Exclamation mark.

Thank you so much for your help.

Now, as we are getting to the end of our story, we need to make sure that we know everything that has happened already.

So far, we've written the beginning and the middle, and now we're onto the end.

I would like you to either use your own story mountain that you made or the story mountain that's on the board to retell the story with the person nearby.

Pause the video and off you go.

You are becoming such fantastic storytellers, and that will really help us with our writing today, remembering all of the events in the plot.

Well done.

Now, we are just focusing on the end of the story.

The last point that we wrote at, the little girl was hiding under her bed, feeling very lonely and lost, but as we can see from the picture on the left, her feelings have changed.

So at the end of the story, the problem is solved.

But first, we need to really get the problem and explain it first.

Because I can see on the picture on the left, with the little girl destroying the bed, and then we know she destroyed the house, that's not the problem solved.

But the problem being solved is the little girl managing to get back home to her friends.

Now, we are going to check whether you know which events do happen at the end of the story.

I have got three parts of the story here, and two of them happen at the end, but one of them doesn't, and you need to find that one.

Can you get your pointing finger ready? Point to the event that does not happen at the end of the story.

Going to give you five seconds.

Well done if you are pointing to picture A.

In picture A, that happens in the middle.

That is where our problem is introduced because she is taken away.

And that's what we've already written about.

Whereas, these two events do happen at the end of the story.

First, she destroys the house, and then she manages to escape back to her home.

We are going to start planning our sentences to write about the end of the story.

Now, to talk about this part of the story, we're going to talk about how we felt, imagining we're the little girl, and what we did to the house.

(gasps) Now, here is my sentence that I could use.

Let's have a look at the first one.

Mm, enough was enough, exclamation mark.

I need a sequencing word.

Now, as this is going to happen all of a sudden, out of the blue, I'm going to use suddenly.

"Suddenly, enough was enough!" Then, I felt mm and, joining two ideas together, I destroyed the mm, mm house.

Hmm, so I need to describe how I felt.

I felt enraged because I was so angry.

I felt enraged and I destroyed the scary, comma, lonely house.

Let me say those sentences together.

"Suddenly, enough was enough! I felt enraged and I destroyed the spooky, lonely house." Hmm.

Now, it is your turn.

You are going to plan those same sentences aloud.

You could use some of my adjectives, or you could think of your own.

But I think it would be really great if we all use suddenly to show and continue to build suspense.

Mm, enough was enough.

I felt mm and I destroyed the mm, mm house.

I wonder if you could say those out loud with your expressive, shocked voice.

Pause the video and off you go.

Fantastic! I heard some amazing expressions, as well as some fantastic descriptions.

Here is one that I heard.

"Suddenly, enough was enough! I felt furious and I destroyed the spooky, plain house." (gasps) What fantastic description.

Well done.

Let's see what is included in that sentence so we can add our punctuation.

We have our capital letter and our sequencing language.

We have an exclamation mark to show a strong feeling from the girl.

We have and to join our two ideas together.

"I felt furious and I destroyed the spooky, plain house." And then, we have two adjectives to describe the house.

So I'm going to say that sentence with my punctuation, and then you're going to have a turn.

Capital letter.

Suddenly, comma, enough was enough, exclamation mark.

Capital letter.

I felt furious and I destroyed the spooky, comma, plain house, full stop.

Do you think you can do that too? Can you do that with your partner in a quietest whisper voice? Pause the video and off you go.

Let's move on to the final part of the story.

At the end of the story, thank goodness, the problem is resolved because the girl returns to her home, and we can see she is no longer furious.

She is no longer enraged.

She's happy back in her home.

Now, we're going to think about how the little girl got back to the forest.

Hmm.

Did she? She got the strange animals to drive her home, the bear came to save her, or she rode the dog all the way back to the forest.

Which one was it? Could you point to the one that is the correct answer? Pause the video now.

Well done if you're pointing to option C.

She rode the dog all the way back to the forest.

She ran away from the strange animals, so that can't be right.

The bear didn't come to save her.

Instead, she rode the pet dog all the way back to the forest.

We're going to write about that part of the story today.

We're going to describe how the girl got home by using an adverb.

An adverb describes a verb.

The verb here is rode.

I rode back to the forest.

But we want to add a bit more and talk about how she's feeling as she's doing that.

So we might use happily.

I rode happily back to the forest.

Calmly.

She's no longer furious.

She's relaxed.

I rode calmly back to the forest.

Or peacefully.

I rode peacefully back to the forest.

You can see that we made those words into adjectives by adding ly at the end.

Let's have a look at that example in a sentence.

"I rode happily back to my home on the helpful, friendly dog." So you're going to try and add an adverb into your sentence today, so we really know how she's feeling about leaving the house and getting back home to solve our problem.

So let's see if I can plan the final sentences aloud, and then it will be your turn.

I rode, (gasps) this is my adverb, calmly back to my home on the speedy, kind dog.

Let's say that sentence again.

"I rode calmly back to my home on the speedy, kind dog." I think I have one of my sequencing words to use now, and it's the final thing to happen in the story, so I'm going to use finally.

Finally, I was back home in my.

Hmm, two adjectives to describe the forest.

Finally, I was back home in my safe, wild forest and I felt content.

Remember, to feel content, things couldn't be better, and you're happy with how things are.

I'm going to read all of that back.

"I rode calmly back to my home on the speedy, kind dog.

Finally, I was back home in my safe, wild forest and I felt content." Now, it is your turn.

You need to plan these sentences out loud.

You need to add an adverb.

I rode mm back to my home on the mm, mm dog.

The sequencing word.

Mm, I was back home in my mm, mm forest and I felt mm.

Pause the video and off you go.

As always, I heard some amazing sentences.

Here's some that I heard.

"I rode peacefully back to my home on the friendly, helpful dog.

Finally, I was back home in my wild, safe forest and I felt accepted." What amazing sentences and vocabulary! Let's see what's in those sentences.

An adverb, peacefully, describing how the girl rode back.

Two adjectives.

You've got wild, safe forest, friendly, helpful dog.

And we have and to join two ideas together.

What an amazing sentence! I'm going to read that again, adding in all that punctuation, and then it's your turn.

You could join in with me now if you'd like.

Get our capital letter.

Capital letter.

I rode peacefully back to my home on the friendly, comma, helpful dog, full stop.

Capital letter.

Finally, comma, I was back home in my wild, comma, safe forest and I felt accepted, full stop.

Wow, you helped me so much then.

Do you think you could do that on your own? Pause the video and off you go.

Well done.

Now, you have to try and say the whole of that end of the story out loud, going from, suddenly, enough was enough, all the way to getting back home.

I wonder if you can do that.

Don't forget to use your story mountain to help you.

Off you go.

Pause the video.

Well done.

Here's one example.

"Suddenly, enough was enough! I felt furious and I destroyed the spooky, plain house.

I rode calmly back to my home on the friendly, speedy dog.

Finally, I was back home in my wild, safe forest and I felt accepted." I think we are ready to write the end of the story.

Well done.

We are going to start now writing the end of the story.

Let's have a look at our success criteria for today.

We have got, I use a two adjective sentence to describe settings.

And here's the example.

I destroyed the spooky, comma, plain house.

(gasps) Fantastic.

That's describing the setting.

You also need to use a two adjective sentence to describe characters, such as the dog.

I rode home on the speedy, comma, friendly dog.

There it is.

The third one.

I have used an adverb to describe how the girl felt when she travelled home.

I rode home calmly on the speedy, friendly dog.

And finally, using sequencing language to end the story.

Finally, I was back in my wild, enchanted forest.

When we were practising and preparing to write, you managed all of those things, so I think you can do it in your writing today.

I'm going to show you now my writing, and you're going to help me with mine, trying to include all of those things.

Now, I'm ready to start my final piece of writing.

With me, I've got my success criteria, as well as my story mountain, 'cause, today, we'll be writing the end of the story.

I've also got some key spellings that might help me.

Now, let's read through the success criteria.

I've already managed to tick one off because I've actually started my writing.

Let's read through them.

I have used a two adjective sentence to describe settings, which will be the house.

I have used a two adjective sentence to describe characters, which will be the dog.

I have used an adverb, remember an adverb describes a verb, to describe how the girl felt when she travelled home.

I have used sequencing language to end the story.

Let's see what I've done so far.

"Suddenly, enough was enough!" Exclamation mark to show that strong feeling.

"I felt furious and I destroyed the spooky, plain house." There is my two adjective sentence to describe the setting.

Now, I'm going to say that I rode back calmly on the friendly, speedy dog.

So I'm going to put that into a sentence.

I rode calmly back on the friendly, speedy dog.

I rode calmly back on the friendly, speedy dog.

Off I go.

I rode.

Could you sound that out for me? And I need a split digraph.

r oh d, rode, and there is my split digraph.

I rode calmly.

Now, I've actually written that down.

There's my adverb.

k, and our ah is being made by these two letters, m l ee, calmly.

k ah m l ee.

I rode calmly back.

Could you sound it out for me? b ah k, back.

I rode calmly back on the.

How could we describe the dog again? Friendly, speedy dog.

Friendly.

Now, friend is a common exception word, which is spelt like this, a silent letter i in the middle.

Friendly.

sp, sp ee d ee, speedy.

Dog.

Let's check.

I rode calmly back on the friendly, speedy dog.

(gasps) What have I forgotten in between my two adjectives? A comma.

That's why it's so important to read back after every word you write.

I wrote calmly back on the friendly, comma, speedy dog.

What do I need at the end of my sentence? A full stop.

Then, you're going to write your final sentence, and you're going to start it with finally.

I'm not going to write all of it now, but I am going to start us off.

A capital letter for finally, which is on my story mountain.

f ahy n er l ee, comma.

Finally.

Then, I would write, "I was back home in my wild, safe forest and I felt content." Let's see if I've managed to get everything even before writing my final sentence.

So we've already ticked this one off.

I have used a two adjective sentence to describe characters.

Friendly, speedy dog.

I have used an adverb to describe how the girl felt when she travelled home.

I rode, there's my verb being described by calmly.

Fantastic.

Thank you for helping me.

And we've also got some sequencing language to end the story.

I'm not actually going to tick that just yet because I haven't actually finished my sentence.

I'm going to finish my sentence now, but you're going to get on with your writing.

Remember to look at your success criteria and to read back to make sure you aren't making any magical mistakes.

I can't wait to see your writing.

Now you've helped me, you're going to get on with your writing now.

Don't forget that success criteria to help you and your story mountain.

Remember to plan your sentences out loud.

Pause the video and off you go.

As always, I'm so impressed with your writing.

Here is one example that I saw.

Let's see if it met the success criteria.

"Suddenly, enough was enough! I felt furious and I destroyed the spooky, plain house." (gasps) That's a two adjective sentence to describe the setting.

"I rode calmly back to my home on the friendly, speedy dog." Okay, so we have a two adjective sentence to describe characters and an adverb to describe how the girl felt when she travelled home.

I wonder if you could point to that adverb, how she felt when she travelled home.

Are you doing it? (gasps) Thank you.

Calmly.

Well done.

What about the two adjective sentence to describe the characters? Remember, that might not be the little girl.

It might be the dog.

There is my expanded noun phrase to describe the dog.

Friendly, comma, speedy dog.

Now, I haven't got a sequencing language to end the story, but we've got more writing to show.

"Finally, I was back in my home in my wild, safe forest and I felt accepted." There is my sequencing language of finally.

Now, it's your turn to double-check your success criteria.

Have you got all of those things? If you haven't, see if you can add them in or just remember for next time.

Pause the video now.

Well done.

Fantastic learning, everybody.

So today, you have got to the end of the story.

I think it will be fantastic if you could read your whole story from the beginning to the end aloud because here is the end of our unit on "Wild." But today, you used two adjective sentences to describe the setting, two adjective sentence to describe the characters, an advert, calmly, to describe a verb, and sequencing language to finish the story.

So now you've finished it, go back and make sure that you've read through your whole story from the beginning to the end to show off your amazing learning.

Well done, and I'll see you all next time.

Bye.
