Lesson video

Hello and welcome to today's spelling lesson.

I'm Mr. Moss.

I'm really looking forward to teaching you.

With you today, you need to bring your looking eyes, your listening ears, and your thinking brains, as well as that something to write with and write on and someone to talk to or something to talk to will be excellent as well.

Let's get straight into our lesson then.

In today's lesson, we're going to be spelling the TION suffix, which is actually pronounced shun.

The outcome will be, I can spell words using shun or TION, and this is a suffix.

Here are the key words for today.

My turn, your turn.

Make sure you say these back to me.

I really need to hear you saying them.

Suffix, suffix.

Noun, proper noun.

Brilliant.

So a suffix is a letter or group of letters that we can add onto the end of a word and it will change the word, often changing its meaning too.

A noun is a PPT.

It's a naming word for a person, a place or a thing, can even be a naming word for an abstract idea, like love.

And a proper noun is a naming word.

It's a noun that needs capitalization.

So needs to have a capital letter.

Might be the name of a person or a place.

So here's our outline for today, just two learning cycles.

We're gonna be spelling that TION suffix, that shun suffix.

And we're going to be applying spellings within a sentence.

Let's get on with spelling that shun, that TION suffix.

So as we said, a suffix is a letter or group of letters at the end of a word, which creates another word, a new word.

So you here have our root word help, and I can add that ING suffix onto the end to make a new word, helping.

My turn, your turn.

Help.

Helping.

Brilliant.

There's our new word helping.

So there you can see my root word was help.

And I've added that ING to make a new word to change the word into helping.

There are many examples of suffixes.

And here is another one.

ER.

I've taken my root word help and I've now made the word helper.

There you go.

My turn, your turn.

Help, helper.

Brilliant.

This time, help, helped, helped.

So there are lots of different types of suffix and today we are going to be concentrating on the TION or the shun suffix.

Let's have a go at reading these words.

My turn, your turn.

Action.

Addition, collection, fraction, question, relation.

And a relation is almost sounds like that word relationship.

It's someone or something that's linked.

Okay, so a relation to me might be a brother or a sister.

Section, like an area or a part of something.

That is a no go section.

The forbidden section of a library.

They all end with the suffix TION, and the suffix TION sounds like shun.

It's a very strange spelling for that shun sound, isn't it? Shun or TION is the most common way to spell this word ending, okay, that shun sound.

So TION, if you hear that shun then TION is the most unlikely spelling.

Not always, but it's a very common way of spelling that sound, that shun sound.

Many of the words ending in TION or shun link to each other.

And you may know some of the words that they link to.

Let's have a look.

A root word here is create.

The word create is the action you do.

You can create something.

It's a verb, it's a doing word.

But here I've now added that TION suffix and I've created the word creation.

This word creation is the thing that you've actually created by doing that creating.

And it's a noun.

So our root word was create, a verb and we've taken that E off and we've added the TION suffix that shun suffix.

And now the word class has changed, it's become a noun.

And this is something that often happens with suffixes.

It can change, when you add that suffix on, the word class of that root word.

The root word can be seen in both words.

They are linked in their meaning as well.

Inform, my turn, your turn.

Inform.

This again is a verb, is the action of informing someone, telling them something, giving them some information.

Information, and look here we've added an A and then our TION, shun suffix.

And again we've created a noun.

Information is that stuff that you tell someone.

So we've gone from that verb inform, to inform someone, to give them news, to tell them something.

And we've now created a noun by adding that suffix.

Again, adding that TION shun suffix has changed the word class from a verb to a noun.

Remember a noun is a PPT, a person a place or a thing.

Have a look at these for me.

We've got some root words and then we've got some words where we've added that TION suffix.

Can you match the words with connected meanings? Pause the video, match these words now.

Good job.

I can see some children using their fingers to draw across, can see some children writing out both words, equals yet brilliant.

So let's have a look.

So we've got our root word here celebrate, which is that verb, isn't it, that act of celebrating.

Okay, I celebrated a holiday.

And we've changed that to celebration, okay, which is a noun.

This is a celebration.

We've got our root word act, again a verb.

And now I've got action by adding that TION suffix.

And we've got invite.

I would like to invite you to my party.

You might send out then that noun, that physical invitation.

So again, we've added that, gotten rid of that E here, added that A and added that TION.

So keep an eye out for that.

Brilliant, check and see how you did.

Pause the video now.

So I'm gonna show you some words now and I'd like you to really look closely at them.

Paying attention to them helps us with spelling.

My turn, your turn.

Addition, collection, fraction are the fractions you might work on in maths.

Question, relation.

Again, someone related to you, perhaps a brother or a sister, and section.

So we've looked at adding this shun, TION suffix.

I want you to just look more carefully at these words.

Is there anything else that we should keep an eye out for in these words.

Pause the video and have a look at them.

Is there anything else about them that makes them a little bit trickier for us to memorise the spelling of.

Pause the video.

Have a look carefully at the spellings now.

Have a conversation with someone around you.

Pause the video now.

Excellent, brilliant conversations going on there and lots of word consciousness.

Also really thinking about what might make them sort of exceptions in the spelling rules, what might make them phonetically more difficult as well.

So for instance, I looked here and thought, well the word addition, it has that double D, okay.

Remember our D sound can be represented just for a single D or a double D.

And don't forget our root word there then is add, isn't it? Which has that double DD.

Collection as well.

The word collect has that double L in rather than a single L.

Remember double L can also represent that L sound too.

So be careful there.

They were just some that I'd noticed.

Perhaps you've noticed some more.

Brilliant.

So let's have a look here.

I'd like you to choose the correct spelling of each word.

Now we've just looked at some of these words.

They'll have that TION, shun suffix.

Let's read the sentences first and you are going to choose the correct spellings.

I have a collection of stickers.

Do you have a question to ask? My brother is my relation.

I'd like you to pause the video now and for A, B and C, select point to you or write down the correct spellings for each sentence.

Pause the video now and do that.

Excellent.

So let's have a look.

The first one, I'm looking for that word collection, aren't I? And if I look here, my first spelling here, it's only got one L and my ION in my TION suffix, it's the wrong way around.

That says colectoin, doesn't it? So it has to be my second one here, which is that word collect, and then our shun, TION suffix on the end, and double L in the word collect.

The next word is question.

Okay, think about that.

Question.

Hmm? Now it does sound a little bit like that, but remember we are making a shun sound, aren't we, not chon.

Also we know it's our TION suffix that we've been looking at.

So the correct spelling of question is this one.

And finally relation.

Okay, that person who's related to you, let's have a look.

Relation.

It's phonetic sense, the first one, but we know we've been looking at that shun sound spelled TION, okay.

And the root word is that word relate, okay? We've taken the E off and then added our ION, TION suffix.

Brilliant.

So the correct spelling was this one.

Good job.

See how you did, pause the video now.

Excellent.

So we are gonna have the chance now to spell some words that have that TION suffix.

So just listen to me at first.

And when it comes to doing the spelling as well, really take your time with this.

Remember to stretch out those words, sound them out, count those sounds, and also to then re-write it and then read and check and look back.

So remember we are spelling that shun, that TION suffix today.

and a suffix is added to the end of a word, remember? So I think our TION is always going to come at the end of our words here today.

So our first word is question.

I asked a question.

B is relation.

My sister is my relation.

C is addition.

I solved an addition problem today in maths.

And D is collection.

You have an excellent collection of Pokemon cards.

Collection.

So you've got A, B, C, and D.

So I'll say them one more time.

Question, relation, addition, collection.

Pause the video, write those words now, off you go.

Brilliant job.

Could see some brilliant application of our shun, TION suffix there.

Children stretching talking those words as well.

Really good work.

So the first word was question.

And I've seen it written these three ways.

Let's have a look at them then.

I'm looking for a que sound at the start, aren't I? 'Cause it's quest question.

So it's not gonna be a KW spelling.

So I think my last one's not gonna be right there.

I don't say kwe.

It sounds a bit like that but I know that spending's not right.

And we know that our shun, TION suffix, which is pronounced shun is TION, isn't it? So the first one is our correct spending here, question.

And I always try and remember this one as well.

I can see the word quest in question.

Like a night you went on a quest, okay.

B is relation.

So let's have a look here at the words relation.

Relation, again, I've got that shun there, haven't I? And it does sound a bit like that, but I know it's my TION spelling that I'm looking at today.

And let's have a look.

Rela, it does sound like it might be that sort of A-A-A-Y spelling, but actually it's just that a spelling in the middle from that word relate.

So it's this spelling here which is the correct one.

C was addition.

Hmm, these all make phonetic sense.

Again, I think I can discount the first one because remember we know our shun.

Okay, it's gonna be spelled TION here.

I remember what was more difficult about addition.

It had that double D, didn't it? Because it's from that sort of root word add.

So it's this spelling here.

Remember that double D addition.

And finally collection.

Let's have a look again.

First one can be discounted, can't it? Because we know that shun sound today is gonna be spelled TION.

And what was difficult about that root word collect absolutely is had that double L.

So it's collection.

So this one here is our correct spelling.

Brilliant.

See how you did.

If you made an amount of mistakes, don't worry about it.

Just make the corrections now and think about some words that you maybe need to work on practising memorising.

Excellent.

Take the time now, pause the video, make any corrections, share your amazing learning with those around you.

Pause the video now.

Onto then our final learning cycle.

We are going to be applying some of the spellings that we've been looking at today within a sentence.

First of all, let's have a go at reading a following word, which is actually a common exception word.

My turn, your turn.

Monday, Monday.

Make sure I can hear you saying this, Monday.

Brilliant.

Let's have a look at this word a bit more closely then 'cause it is one of our common exception words, which means it doesn't follow our regular phonics patterns.

Monday is the name of a day of the week.

It is a proper noun.

Okay? A naming word that needs to have a capital letter.

So that's one thing we need to remember, has to have a capital letter.

Also in Monday we can hear an A sound, can't we? But it's spelt with an O.

Sounds like it should be MU, Monday, like in the word son and honey.

But it's spelt with an O, which means a little bit trickier.

It's why you might hear common exception words called harder to read, or tricky to spell words.

I call them common exception words.

So that O spelling makes an A sound.

Which word here is written and spelled correctly? I'd like you to pause the video, read the words and tell me which one is written and spelled correctly.

Pause the video now.

Good job.

So let's go through these.

A: Munday.

Well, it looks phonetically right, doesn't it? But we know that Monday being a common exception word, that O okay is actually makes it the A sound.

So it's an O spelling for that Uh sound, that U sound there.

B, right, it looks like it spelled correctly, but what's it missing? Of course it has to be C because Monday's a proper noun, needs to have a capital letter.

Watch out for that one.

Well done.

So we are going to write a sentence now containing some of our focus spellings.

When we write the whole sentence, we need to do several things at once.

So let's really take our time with this.

We need to remember that whole sentence.

We need to form letters correctly.

We need to sound out each word.

We need to look out for those common exception words.

And we also need to remember our sentence punctuation, capital letters and full stops.

So I'd just like you to listen to me say the sentence first of all, okay? And remember we've been looking at that shun, TION suffix.

On Monday, our work was a collection of fraction and addition questions.

On Monday, our work was a collection of fraction and addition questions.

Remember, we're gonna be sounding out each word.

We're gonna be looking out for those common exception words.

I think I've heard one there.

And also we're gonna remember to check us punctuation, our capital letters and full stops.

We're now going to use a variety of strategies to help us remember this sentence.

First of all, we're going to tap this out.

You can do this in your head or on your shoulders.

On Monday, our work was a collection of fraction and addition questions.

Pause the video, tap out the sentence now.

Good job.

The next strategy is saying it in a silly voice.

This is my favourite strategy.

On Monday, our work was a collection of fraction and addition questions.

You pause the video now and say that sentence in your silliest voice.

Off you go.

Brilliant.

Some very silly voices there.

Remember this is trying to help us remember the sentence.

And finally, I always like to count the sentence on my fingers each word to make sure that I've got all the words of the sentence.

On Monday, our work was a collection of fraction and addition questions.

On Monday, our work was a collection of fraction and addition questions.

Pause the video and count those words out now in your fingers.

Brilliant.

So you're gonna have a go at writing the sentence now.

Please remember to sound out each word, to look after those common exception words that don't follow our regular phonics patterns.

And don't forget your sentence punctuation, capital letters, full stops.

I'm gonna say the sentence one more time.

On Monday, our work was a collection of fraction and addition questions.

Pause the video and write that sentence for me now.

Excellent work.

Let's check through our sentence and make any corrections as you go along.

On, remember that needs to have a capital letter.

Monday, watch out for this one, needs to have a comma after it.

But also remember Monday, common exception word.

It's a proper nouns capital letter.

And it has that O spelling for that R sound.

Our work was a collection.

Oh, and there we go.

there's our TION shun suffix, of fraction again, that shun sound TION suffix, and addition.

Watch out for that one again, TION.

Remember collection has double L and addition has double D.

And finally, questions, you can hear that, shun and see that TION spelling again.

And then we've made this plural, so just added an extra suffix there, an S at the end.

And of course our sentence needs to have a full stop.

Really good job.

What did you learn? Make any corrections and share any mistakes and brilliant learning with those around you now.

Pause the video.

So really good job today, everyone.

Really proud of your spelling.

A suffix is a letter or group of letters at the end of a word, which creates another word.

TION is a suffix that sounds like shun.

It is the most common way to spell this word ending, that shun word ending.

And here are some examples of words that have that TION suffix, that sounds like shun.

Addition, collection, fraction, question, relation, and section.

Keep up the great spelling and I'll see you again soon.
