Lesson video

Hello everybody.

It is me Miss McCartney, and today, we are going to be recycling our story.

The Marriage of Ganesh.

I wonder what that means.

Keep watching to find out.

For our lesson today, you will need, a piece of paper or something to write on, a pencil or something to write with, and your wonderful creative brain.

If you need to go and get any of those things, pause your video now.

Okay, let's have a look at what we are going to be doing today.

We are going to start with a spelling activity.

Then we are going to play a recycling game.

We are going to then look at some story creation of you making your very own settings, and then we are going to map our news story.

Shall we get started with our spelling roll? Excellent.

Today we are looking at the grapheme wr, which makes this sound.

R.

Huh, that's a bit strange.

It doesn't look like it would make the sound R.

I am now going to show you some words that have all the letters mixed up.

So they are nonsense threads.

These words apart from grown are not real words, and I would like you to rearrange them.

Now, the rule is you need to start with the grapheme wr.

So let me show you an example.

For the first mismatch letters.

If we start with the grapheme, wr, we can make the word we've got some more arrows, we can make the word, write.

So I would like you to have a look at the other three jumbled up words.

All of them start with the grapheme wr Pause your video now and see if you can rearrange to make a real word.

Or show me a thumb if you found that a little bit tricky.

It is a bit tricky and the, this is the first time we have seen these words, so that's okay.

Shall we have a look at what they are? Our first word is wrath.

My turn, wrath, your turn.

Fantastic.

Now wrath is probably a new word.

And wrath means anger.

So we could use it in the sentence.

Ganesh was worried about the wrath of Kartikeya, about the anger of Kartikeya.

Hmm, I wonder if anybody rearrange the letters to make the next word, wrong.

My turn wrong, your turn.

Brilliant.

So wrong is the opposite to right.

Now let's have a look at the last one which was a bit more tricky.

It made the word wreck.

My turn, wreck, your turn.

Fantastic pronunciation everybody.

Now wreck could mean a ship wreck, or it could mean that you wreck something which means you destroy it or you ruin it.

So we could say, that Ganesh wrecked Kartikeya's dream of winning the race.

Well done everybody.

Super difficult words today, and you have already made such an excellent start.

Now I'm going to hand over to you.

I would like you to create three sentences using words with the wr grapheme.

At the bottom you have got Ganesh and Kartikeya our story words, to help you.

And then I have written three of our words with the wr grapheme.

My example is Kartikeya wanted Ganesh to feel the full force of his wrath.

Pause your video now to complete your sentences.

Fantastic work everybody.

Could you whisper to me your favourite sentence that has your word with a wr grapheme, whisper it now? Ah, interesting.

I heard somebody's sentence and they said, unfortunately Kartikeya went the wrong way.

Poor Kartikeya.

Okay, now we are going to play a little game, that involves recycling a story.

Okay, are you ready for our recycling game.

Now when we recycle a story, we take the original story, and we change some parts to make it our very own story.

And that I think is a really exciting thing about being a storyteller.

So we are going to recycle the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

So just to recap the story, Little Red Riding Hood parents asked her to take a basket of food to grandma because she is sick.

But they tell her, not to go through the forest.

She goes through the forest and when she gets to the house, she finds grandma but she looks a bit different.

And Little Red Riding Hood says, "Grandma, what big teeth you have, "grandma what a lot of hair you have." And at the end of the story, grandma is really the wolf and she jumps out of bed and she scares Little Red Riding Hood away.

We are going to recycle the story and I want you to think of a different ending.

So instead of grandma scaring Little Red Riding Hood away, what else could happen? Pause your video now and think of a different ending.

Okay, I would like you to whisper your ending to me, and we are going to speak some of the different endings.

So can you whisper your endings now? Hoo.

Ah, I really like this ending.

So somebody has said, instead of the wolf scaring Little Red Riding Hood, Little Red Riding Hood stands firm and she says, where is my grandma? And then the wolf says, they were only joking and actually grandma is downstairs in her rocking chair.

Shall we think about a different ending? Hmm.

Somebody else said that actually, grandma and the wolf were best friends.

And grandma was hiding behind the door the whole time.

So when the wolf scared Little Red Riding Hood, grandma came out and gave her a big hug.

So those are two different endings to Little Red Riding Hood.

And today we are going to be thinking about how we can change our story, The marriage of Ganesh.

Now today we are going to change some of the settings in our story.

So we are going to change some of the places that Kartikeya visits on his race around the world, in his race around the world.

Now before we do that, we need to think about our original story settings.

Now, I have got my story map on the screen which seven locations does Kartikeya visit? Now, you are going to tell me by using a 2A sentence.

And that is a sentence that has two adjectives.

So I am going to use a sentence them on the screen to talk about the Himalayan Mountains.

I am going to say, Kartikeya visits the dangerous tall mountains.

Dangerous and tall are my two adjectives.

I would like you to use the 2A sentence format to tell me about the other six locations.

Pause your video now to complete the task.

Fantastic.

I heard some people talking about the Amazon rain forest and they said, Kartikeya visits the humid colourful rain forest.

So humid and colourful were your two adjectives.

Well done everybody.

I am so impressed with your knowledge of our story that is really going to help you.

We are going to recycle today by changing the locations that Kartikeya visits.

And his first location is, the Himalayan Mountains.

So I would like you to think of somewhere that is darker than the top of a mountain.

Huh? You can use the sentence stems, Kartikeya could visit the dark location of, what about or Kartikeya might have an interesting experience.

So Miss McCartney's example is, what about if Kartikeya visited the very bottom of the deep sea where it is really dark and there are lots of scary creatures because I think that would create a really exciting, mysterious scary mood in our story.

Pause the video now, to think about where you would like Kartikeya to visit, that is really dark.

Okay, I would like you to whisper your ideas to the screen so that we can help out anybody if they are stuck.

Whisper now.

Oh, I heard some people say, that Kartikeya could visit a really deep cave where there are a lot of bats.

That would be a really great setting.

Somebody else said, Kartikeya could visit the burrow of an animal under a tree so he could go into an animal's burrow, their hole into the ground.

Oh, I really like that one, I wonder what animal he would see.

I would like you to keep this idea in your head.

If you would like to, you can write down the name of your location.

So you could just write down, burrow, cave or deep sea, or your own idea.

So pause your video now just to write down the word of your location.

Excellent.

Shall we have a look at the next location we are going to recycle? Then next location we are going to recycle is the rice paddy.

So I want you to think of somewhere fancier It might be somewhere where there are lots of expensive things or lots of bright colours, and you have got the same sentence stems to help you.

Miss McCartney's example is, where do I know that is really fancy? I know.

Kartikeya could visit the fancy location of Buckingham Palace where the Queen lives.

Pause your video now to think of your own ideas.

Okay, I would like you to whisper to the screen so that I can share some of your wonderful ideas.

so whisper to your screen now.

Oh, I had somebody say that Kartikeya could go and visit a fancy dress shop where he could try he would have to try on loads of different clothes in his race.

I love that idea.

Somebody else's idea was that he could go and visit.

Are you ready? He could go and visit a really, really fancy museum.

A fancy museum where there are lots of old and expensive artefacts.

What a great idea.

I would like you to write down your second location now, your fancy location.

Pause your video to write it down.

Well done everybody.

Let's move on to our final setting.

Where is a warmer place than the polar bears ice.

I want you to think of somewhere that is really, really warm.

So Miss McCartney's example is, Kartikeya might have an interesting experience, if he visits the desert.

That would be really hot, and he would have to scramble over all of the sand dunes.

Pause your video now to think about your idea of somewhere warmer than the polar bears ice.

Okay, everybody.

I saw some really hard thinking.

Can you whisper to your screen your idea of a really warm place? Oh, somebody said he could visit a beach where lots of hammocks and lots of coconut trees.

That would be really, really warm.

Well done.

Oh, and I've just heard another wonderful idea.

And this idea is that he could go and he could swim in Hydro-thermo bath, huh? What is that? A Hydro-thermo bath is where gas from the earth inner core warms up the water and makes it kind of like a Jacuzzi.

That would be such a great idea.

Another person said he could visit a top of the volcano.

Oh, he'd have to be really careful not to get caught in the lava.

Wonderful ideas.

I would like you to write your third location down.

You just need to write it really quickly.

Pause your video now to do that.

Excellent work everybody.

We have now recycled three locations in our story.

And we are now going to map our story.

So make sure you have your piece of paper and your pen ready.

Okay everybody we are now going to draw our new map with our new locations.

Now, can you remember where our story starts? Whisper to your screen now.

Fantastic.

It starts in the library.

But everybody is going to change the location to the palace garden.

So I am still going to draw elephant headed Ganesh.

I'm sure that your drawings of an elephant have got so much better.

Okay, I've still got Ganesh and I have still got Kartikeya, with his sword.

But this time, they are not in the library.

They are in the garden, so I am going to draw a pond, with a nice, lovely tree.

I am sure that you, can draw a really nice drawing, of the palace garden.

And we know that, Kartikeya really wants to hope, really wants to host a feast to celebrate Birdie and her family.

So we're going to draw the feast just like we did on our last story map that we drew and lesson one of unit 10.

There's my people dancing, so the brothers still both want to host a feast.

And they decide not to fight.

They decide to still race around the world, but this time, they are not going to visit the mountains.

Where are your characters going to visit? So Kartikeya is going to run that, and Ganesh is going to read about it.

Where is your location? So I said mine, was at the bottom, of the deep sea, where there are lots of scary creatures.

So I'm going to draw some chores and a little sea snake.

In a second when you draw your map, you might draw your cave.

if a cave was your idea.

So you are going to draw your really dark place.

Then, our characters are still going to visit the forest where there are Panthers.

That part of the story is staying the same.

But now, we are not going to visit the rice paddies.

We are going to visit our really fancy place.

My really fancy place was Buckingham Palace.

Here's the flag on the top, and I'm going to draw a crown.

In a second you are going to draw your fancy place.

Next Kartikeya and Ganesh go from island to island.

So I am going to keep that part the same.

After they have gone from island to island, they speak to which animal? Which animal they fly over the top of the world.

And they speak to, well done, the buffalo.

But this time they are not going to meet the polar bear because they are going to that really really warm place.

My warm place is a desert.

So I am going to draw my sun with some sand dunes.

This is my desert.

You will draw your hot place in a second.

After that, they are not, Kartikeya is not going to go back to the library.

He is going to go back to the palace garden, where he is going to find Ganesh and he is going to ask Ganesh, Did you really race around the world? And Ganesh is going to say, yes in my own way.

After that, Ganesh throws the feast, and him and Birdie get married.

And our story is still going to end with Kartikeya asking Ganesh if he thinks that he cheated.

So you can see my story map there.

If you would like, pause your video now, because it can help you to remember the steps.

Remember you need to change the library to their palace garden.

You need to change the top of the mountains to somewhere really dark.

I chose the deep sea.

You need to change the rice paddies to somewhere really fancy, and then you need to change the polar bears ice to somewhere really hot.

I chose the desert.

And remember Kartikeya returns to find Ganesh in the palace garden.

Pause your video now to complete your map.

I hope that you really enjoyed drawing your map with your new locations.

We are going to be using them in lesson two of unit 11.

So I cannot wait to see them then.

If you'd like to, please ask your parent or carer to share your work on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter tagging @OakNational and @TeachTMcCartney #LearnwithOak.

Well done everybody for all your hard work today.
