Lesson video

Hello and welcome to today's spelling lesson.

I'm Mr. Moss, I love spelling and I'm really looking forward to teaching you.

For today's lesson, you need to bring with you your looking eyes, your listening ears, and your thinking brains, as well as that something to write with and write on and someone or something to talk to you will be brilliant as well.

Let's get on with today's learning.

In today's lesson, we are going to be using and spelling suffixes, and we're going to be concentrating on adding the -FUL suffix, that -FUL suffix to the end of a word.

The outcome will be, I can spell words using the suffix -FUL or this -FUL suffix.

Here are the key words for today's learning.

My turn, your turn.

Make sure I hear you saying these back to me.

Suffix, suffix.

Brilliant.

Adjective, noun.

A suffix is a letter or group of letters to be added to the end of a root word.

It creates a new word and often when we add a suffix, it changes the word class of the word that we've added it to.

An adjective describes a noun, it tells you what it's like.

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

It's a naming word.

It can also be used to name abstract ideas like love.

Here is the outline for today's lesson.

We are going to be using and spelling the -FUL suffix.

We're gonna concentrate on looking at that suffix first and adding it to some words.

And then we're gonna have a go at applying using this suffix as well as some common exception words within a sentence.

Let's get on with using this -FUL suffix then.

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

I here have the word play and I've added that -ING suffix to create playing.

My turn, your turn.

Play, playing.

My suffix here is -ING.

Here I have that root word again play and I'm adding a different suffix this time, -ER.

It creates the word player.

My turn, your turn.

Play, player.

And here we have the word play and I'm adding my -ED suffix to change its tense and it creates the word played.

There are lots of different types of suffix.

Can you remember which suffix we are looking at today? Absolutely, we are looking at the -FUL suffix.

So let's have a read of some words that contain this -FUL suffix.

My turn, your turn.

Careful, cheerful.

Which means you're full of cheer.

You're very happy.

Fearful, full of fear.

Forgetful.

Oh, where did I leave that? Helpful.

I love children who are helpful.

Joyful, full of joy.

And beautiful, which means something that is full of beauty.

So you can see here each of these words has that -FUL suffix at the end.

They all end in that suffix.

The suffix -FUL has only one L.

It is not like the word full, which has two Ls.

So be careful and watch out for that.

Whenever we're adding this -FUL suffix, a one L.

And here's it in use with that word play that we looked at a moment ago.

Playful means to be full of play, wanting to go and play.

The playful cat played with the ball of yarn.

So words that contain the suffix -FUL are usually adjectives.

They describe nouns so they're paired with nouns to describe them.

The girl was careful on the stairs.

So in this sentence here, we can see that our noun is the girl, she's a person and our adjective that's describing how she's being on the stairs is careful.

She's full of care, she's taking care on those stairs.

The cheerful balloons brightened up the room.

In this sentence, balloons are our noun, they're a thing, and cheerful is describing those balloons, so cheerful is an adjective.

So when we add that suffix -FUL onto the end of a word, we are creating an adjective.

Have a look here at these two sentences for me.

Which word class are child and which word class is helpful in these sentences? Let's read the sentences first.

The helpful child cleared the table.

The helpful child cleared the table.

Hmm, so both the same sentence, but I've highlighted two different words here.

Child and helpful.

And I want you to think what word class is child? What world class is helpful? Pause the video and think now.

Some great conversations and great thinking going on there.

Let's see how you got on then.

That word child is a noun.

It's a person, isn't it? So it's a noun.

Helpful is describing the child here.

It's a describing word, so it is an adjective.

Remember when we add that suffix -FUL, we are creating adjectives.

The -FUL suffix starts with a consonant, an F.

This means the root word usually doesn't have to change when we add the suffix.

Let's look at this in action.

Careful.

Absolutely.

I've got my word care.

I've added -FUL And the root word care hasn't had to change.

Cheer and then adding -FUL.

Absolutely, is gonna be spelled cheerful.

Just adding that suffix.

Fear.

Pause the video.

How do you think I'm going to spell fearful? Have a go at writing the word fearful for me.

Is the root word going to change at all? Pause the video now.

Brilliant.

Absolutely, doesn't change.

We just add our -FUL suffix.

Forget, and I want to add here the -FUL suffix.

Pause the video.

Have a go at writing the word forgetful for me.

Good job.

Absolutely.

We just need to add our -FUL suffix here.

So a reminder, the -FUL suffix starts with a consonant, that F.

This means most of the time, the root word won't change.

Not all the time, but most of the time, so we're just adding that suffix.

However, if the root word has more than one syllable, and remember, syllables are a single sound or beat in a word that contains a vowel sound and it ends in the consonant Y, we have to remove that Y, add an I before adding our -FUL suffix.

This is the more rare, the less common way of creating those -FUL words.

So let's have a look at some examples of this in action then.

The word beauty is my root word here.

Okay, you'll notice it has more than one syllable, beauty.

Also, it's ending in that consonant Y.

So this means that we get rid of the Y, we add an I, and then we add our -FUL suffix to create the word beautiful, which is an adjective.

So I'd like us to now have a look at the words below.

They're the root words and I'd like us to put 'em into the correct column to show what will happen when we add our -FUL suffix.

So in one column, you have just adding our -FUL, and then in the other, you have removing the Y, and adding the I, -FUL.

So let's read the words first, joy, beauty, care.

Pause the video and put these into the correct columns now.

Brilliant.

So I'm hoping you put 'em into these columns here.

Now, although joy might end in a Y, it's just that single syllable, isn't it? Joy.

So we are just going to add -FUL.

Care, we just add -FUL 'cause we have our consonant F there already.

And if we looked at the word beauty, it had that Y at the end and it was beauty, two syllables.

So we remove the Y, we add the I, and then our -FUL.

So remember, if the root word has more than one syllable and ends in a consonant Y, then we remove that Y, and we add the I before adding our suffix.

This is quite similar to when we add the -LY suffix to a word as well.

We're gonna have a go now at turning these words here into adjectives by adding the suffix -FUL.

Our words are, my turn your turn, care, joy, forget, cheer.

Consider the rules that we've looked at.

Consider how many syllables are in the word.

Consider if they end in the consonant Y.

Pause the video, add the -FUL suffix now.

Turn these words into adjectives.

Off you go.

Great job.

So let's have a look and see how people have done.

The word care, we are making careful, an adjective.

I've seen it written down in these ways.

Now, remember what we said.

When we add that -FUL suffix, it sounds like the word full, but we doesn't have two Ls, so the second one we know is not right.

Is my root word going to change here at all? I don't think so.

It's just a single syllable and we're just going to add our -FUL, so the correct spelling is this one here.

The next word was joy and I've seen it written down in these ways.

Joyful, now again, it might end in a Y, but it's just that single syllable, isn't it? So I'm just going to add my -FUL suffix so the correct spelling is this one here.

I'm not going to need to add an I, and if I was adding an I, I usually take the Y away.

The next one was forgetful.

Now this might have two syllables here, forget, but it ends in that T consonant and not a Y.

So we're just going to add our -FUL suffix.

Remember, our -FUL suffix at the end of the word is just spelled -FUL.

This is the correct spelling of forgetful.

And finally cheerful, to be full of cheer, to be really nice and happy, cheer.

Well, the first one doesn't look right to me.

I don't see why my root word would change.

And remember, when we add that -FUL suffix, it's just that -FUL spelling, that -FUL.

No double L, so the correct spelling is this one here.

Really well done, everyone.

I saw some brilliant handwriting.

If you've made any magical mistakes, make some corrections now and share how you've done with those around you.

Pause the video and make any corrections now.

Onto our final learning cycle then, which is applying some spellings within a sentence.

We're gonna begin this section by looking at a common exception word.

Common exception words are those words that don't follow our regular phonics patterns and are therefore trickier to read and trickier to spell.

The word beautiful is an example of a common exception word.

My turn, your turn.

Beautiful.

Here it is.

One more time.

Beautiful.

You can see here, it's quite a strange spelling for a word that sounds like BEAU, doesn't it? You might expect it to be a Y or an OO spelling in there somewhere, but it's not.

It's the B-E-A-U and then T-I-F-U-L, and it has that -FUL suffix at the end there.

Our root word is beauty and we've changed it into an adjective beautiful.

So let's think about what's hard about it.

Pause the video.

What do you think's difficult about this spelling? Have a think.

Great, some lovely conversations and word consciousness being shown there.

For me, it's this E-A-U here.

It doesn't sound like the way it's been spelled, does it? This order of vowels can be hard to remember that E-A-U saying them in a rhyme like this can help us.

I like to do it like this.

B-E-A-U-tiful.

And remember then it has that E, A, and a U spelling.

B-E-A-U-tiful.

Can you have a go at saying that for me? B-E-A-U-tiful.

It's a really good strategy to help us remember that spelling.

So can you choose the correct spelling of the common exception where we've just looked at? The word is beautiful.

Pause the video and select the correct spelling from A, B, or C.

Good job, I could see lots of children pointing at the correct answer there.

Remember, we have that strategy to help us, B-E-A-U-tiful.

And we know that -FUL suffix is just -FUL.

So the correct spelling is C here.

And don't forget to say B-E-A-U-tiful to help us remember.

So we are gonna have a going to have go now at writing a sentence containing some of our focus spellings and common exception words.

When we write the sentence, we need to do several things at once, we need to remember the whole sentence, we need to form letters correctly, we need to sound out each word, we need to look out for common exception words, and we also need to remember our sentence, punctuation, capital letters, and full stops.

Listen to me say the sentence first.

The beautiful garden was full of cheerful, and joyful, chirping birds.

The beautiful garden was full of cheerful, and joyful, chirping birds.

And chirping is that verb they're making noise.

Chirp, chirp, chirp.

We're gonna use some strategies now to help us remember this sentence.

The first one is tapping out.

You can do this in your head, your shoulders on the table, on the floor.

This really helps us to hear the different syllables in each of the words so make sure we're missing no sounds.

The beautiful garden was full of cheerful, and joyful, chirping birds.

Pause the video and tap that sentence out now.

Great job.

The next one is saying it in a silly voice.

This is one of my favourite strategies.

The beautiful garden was full of cheerful, and joyful, chirping birds.

Pause the video and say it in your silliest voice and try and make me laugh.

Brilliant.

Some really silly voices there.

And finally, we're gonna count the words on our fingers.

The beautiful garden was full of cheerful, and joyful, chirping birds.

The beautiful garden was full of cheerful, and joyful, chirping birds.

Pause the video.

Say that sentence and count each word on your fingers.

Great.

So we're gonna have a chance to write the sentence now.

Please do not forget to sound out each word.

Think about if there's any common exception words that don't follow our phonics patterns there and don't forget your sentence punctuation, capital letters, and full stops.

I'll say the sentence one more time.

The beautiful garden was full of cheerful, and joyful, chirping birds.

Pause the video and write that sentence now.

Fantastic work, everyone.

Let's check for our work now and make any corrections as we go along.

The, need to have a capital letter 'cause it's the beginning of our sentence.

Beautiful, remember this, this is a common exception word.

How do you remember this one? B-E-A-U-tiful.

And it's that -FUL suffix at the end there, so one L.

Garden was full.

Be careful, that's that actual spelling of the word full to be filled with, and that's F-U-L-L.

Of cheerful, okay? Cheer, single syllable.

And then we have a consonant there, F, and so it's -FUL.

And joyful, again, just adding our -FUL.

Chirping, that's I-R spelling.

Birds, S at the end there, plural.

And don't forget of course our full stop.

Brilliant work.

What did you learn? Did you make any magical mistakes? Have you got any incredible learning to share? Pause the video, share that learning, and make any corrections now.

Great job, everyone.

So today, we've looked at that suffix -FUL, which means to be filled with.

It creates adjectives.

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

The -FUL suffix starts with a consonant.

This means the root word usually doesn't change when we add it.

If the root word has more than one syllable, more than one beat, and ends in the consonant Y, then we replace that Y with an I before adding our -FUL suffix.

Great spelling today, everyone.

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