Lesson video

Hello and welcome to lesson four of our unit on monster pizza.

My name is Ms Bourke and I am a teacher with the Oak Academy.

I am really, really looking forward to our lesson today.

It's going to be so much fun because in our lesson today, we are going to be coming up with all sorts of interesting and disgusting vocabulary, because we're going to be thinking about, what might a monster eat on their pizza? Okay let's get started.

Okay let's go through our agenda today.

First we will do a warm up, next we will do a skill reminder one of our writing skills, then we will build some new vocabulary, and finally, we will do our task.

In today's lesson, you will need an exercise book or some paper, a pencil, and your brain.

If you don't have those things, pause the video and go and get them now.

Okay, off we go.

It's time for our writing warm up.

I have written some instructions for how to make a cup of tea, but they got all muddled and I need your help, to put them back in order.

Now it's important that if you're reading these instructions and you want to make a cup of tea, you do not do this without a parent or a carer's help.

Okay, these are just instructions for our writing today.

So the first thing you're going to need to do, is read through the instructions.

So pause the video now, and read through the instructions.

Okay, good job.

Now that you've read through the instructions, you need to try and put them in order.

Think about our sequencing words, which sequencing word would come first in our instructions? That's going to help you, put my instructions back in the correct order.

Pause the video again, and put my instructions in the correct order.

Good job.

Let's go through the answer together.

My first instruction should be, first, get a mug and put a tea bag in it.

Give yourself a tick, if you put that one first.

The next instruction is, next, fill the kettle up with water and switch it on.

Give yourself a tick if you got the next one correct too.

My third instruction is then, wait for the water to boil.

When it has, pour the boiling water over the tea bag.

And my last instruction is finally, add milk to the tea be careful, it will be hot.

Those are my instructions in the correct order.

Give yourself a tick for all of the ones that you got correct.

Remembering there are sequencing words at the beginning, help us put the instructions in order.

So they were first, next, then, and finally.

Now it's time to have a skill reminder, using commas to separate items in a list.

Commas, and there's a picture of a comma next to the word comma.

Commas can help us tell which items in the list, are separate from each other.

Now commas have other jobs as well, but this is the job of the comma that we are looking at today.

Can you remember the rules for using commas in a list? Let's check together.

We've got a school trip reminder, and it says, "You will need a packed lunch, a water bottle, a rucksack." Here, I can see that there are three items in my list.

A packed lunch, a water bottle, a rucksack.

Those are the three items in my list.

I need to separate the first two of my items, with a comma, and then my second last and my last item in my list, needs to be separated with an and.

Let's have a look at what that looks like.

You will need a packed lunch, that's the first item on my list.

So after that, I need a comma.

A water bottle, and a rucksack.

Water bottle and rucksack, are the last two items in my list.

So we join them with an and.

Let's read through it together.

You will need a packed lunch comma, a water bottle, and a rucksack.

That's how we use commas in a list.

But I wrote a shopping list earlier, and I forgot to write commas to separate my items in my list.

Can you help me? So my shopping list is bananas, oranges, apples, cheese, bread.

I have five items in my list.

Pause the video and put commas, where they need to be in my list.

Remember the last two items are separated with an and, not with a comma.

Pause the video, write my shopping list with commas separating the items, off you go.

Good job.

Let's have a look at what it looks like.

Okay, my shopping list now reads bananas comma, oranges comma, apples comma, cheese and bread.

I needed a comma between all of the items in my list, except for the last two which needed an and.

Give yourself a tick for every comma you got correct, and give yourself a tick for your and.

Now it's your turn.

I would like you to use commas in a list to write down your three favourite foods.

Remember to use and between the last two items. I've given you a sentence starter.

Your sentence starter is my three favourite foods are.

Pause the video, and write your three favourite foods remembering to separate the items with a comma, and an and.

Off you go.

Okay, good job.

Let's check our work.

I wrote a list as well with my three favourite foods.

My three favourite foods are sushi, comma, pizza.

Sushi was the first item in my list, so I've got a comma after it to separate it from pizza.

Sushi, comma, pizza and dumplings.

Pizza and dumplings were the last two items in my list, so we separate them with an and.

Give yourself a tick, if you put a comma after your first item in your list.

And an and, separating your last two items. Really, really good job.

Let's build some vocabulary for our monster pizza.

In this unit, we will be writing instructions for how to make a pizza for a monster.

There is our monster there.

And they are saying, "I'm hungry, feed me." Ooh, they sound a bit grumpy, so we better get going.

Let's think about what ingredients we normally use, to make a pizza.

A pizza is made of three parts.

It's made of the dough, that's the base of the pizza.

The dough is the bit that we roll out and shape into a circle.

And then that's what gets baked in the oven.

Then our pizza also has the sauce, that we spread on top of the dough.

And finally, we put toppings on our pizza.

I love pizza, I wonder if you do too.

So normally to make dough, we use flour, water, salt, and yeast.

And then we shape it into a ball, and roll it out so it's flat.

Our sauce is normally made of tomato, garlic, salt, and herbs.

And toppings, well you can have anything you like on your pizza.

I've written down a few ideas, I thought you might like things like cheese, olives, onions, pepperoni.

But maybe you don't make any of those things maybe you choose something different, for the toppings of your pizza.

So that's what we normally use to make a pizza.

But I don't think a monster would be very interested in eating those.

I think a monster might eat things that are a little bit different to us.

So now we're going to have a think.

What ingredients would a monster use to make a pizza? What do you think monsters might eat? I think that monsters might eat quite disgusting things.

Like slugs and bloopy mud, and snails and snakes.

I'd like you to pause the video now, and write down as many things as you can think of, that a monster might like to eat.

Off you go.

Well done.

I bet you came up with some fantastic creative ideas, of ingredients that a monster might like to have on their pizza.

Or might use to make their pizza.

I'm going to share with you some of my ideas now, and if you like them, you can write them down.

You can magpie them and borrow them, and use them in your writing as well.

So I think a monster might like slugs and snails.

Eyeballs, worms, mud, smelly socks, bogeys, mouldy cheese, slime, rotten eggs and toenails.

Yuck! That's what I think a monster might use to make a pizza.

If you like any of those ideas, pause the video and write them down now.

Good job.

Okay, so let's have a think.

What do you think a monster might make their dough out of? I know that when we make dough, we mix the things together, and then we shape it into a ball.

So it has to be something quite squishy, that we can shape into a ball or roll out flat.

Pause the video and choose three of your ingredients, to make the dough.

Pause the video now.

Good job.

I wonder what you came up with.

I'm going to share with you my three ingredients, to make the dough.

If you would like to, you can magpie them.

I think that the dough might be made out of mud, snake's eggs and slime.

I wonder what you came up with.

Okay.

Now, what do we think a monster might use to make the sauce of? Sauce is quite liquidy isn't it? It would drip.

So we need to think of some things that we can.

Something we can spread.

I'd like you to pause the video now, and write down three ingredients that you think a monster might make their sauce out of.

Pause the video and off you go.

Well done.

Let's see I'm going to share with you my ideas now, I think a monster might make their pizza sauce out of, Bogeys, slime and worms. Maybe they'll squish all of those things together, and then spread it on their dough.

Okay lastly, this is the really fun bit.

What toppings do you think a monster might put on their pizza? Maybe toenails, or cat hair.

Pause the video and write down your three ideas now.

Your three toppings that you will use on your monster pizza.

Excellent job.

Okay, here are my three toppings that I've come up with.

Toenails, socks, and eyeballs.

If you like as always, you can take one of my ideas to use in your pizza as well.

You have been working so hard today, and now it is time for our independent task.

Let's have a look at what you'll be doing today.

For your independent tasks today, you will be writing the ingredients, you will be using for each part of your monster's pizza.

Don't forget to use commas in your list.

I have given you sentence starters to help you.

So you need to write the ingredients for your dough, your sauce, and your toppings.

You are going to start each of your sentence with, for the dough I will use.

For the sauce I will use.

And for the toppings I will use.

You can see that I've also got a challenge box on the screen.

If you would like you could challenge yourself, and add adjectives before the nouns in your list.

So for example, if one of your ingredients was worms, you could describe the worms using an adjective, and describe them as wriggly worms. If one of the ingredients in your pizza was eggs, you could describe the eggs using adjectives.

You could say that they are pungent comma, rotten eggs.

Pungent means very, very smelly.

If you had mud in your ingredients, you could use adjectives to describe the mud for example, thick comma, slimy mud.

So that's how you can challenge yourself.

I would like you to pause the video now, and write the ingredients for your pizza, using my sentence starters.

Then when you're finished, you can press play and we'll have a look at an example together.

Well done.

I bet you wrote excellent sentences, and remembered those rules for using commas in a list.

Let's have a look at my sentences, and go through our work and check it together.

Okay.

There's lots of ticks that you can be giving yourself.

You can give yourself a tick firstly, if you remembered to use a tall capital letter to start your sentence.

For a capital letter F, for for the dough.

If you've remembered that, give yourself a tick.

My sentences for the dough, I will use mud, snake's eggs and slimy slugs.

I have remembered to put a comma, between mud and snake's eggs.

Those are the first two items in my list.

Give yourself a tick, if you remembered your comma, after your first item in your list.

Then give yourself another tick, if you remembered your and, between the last two items in your list.

So for me that's between snake's eggs and slimy slugs.

Then I've given myself a tick for the adjective slimy.

And finally, a tick because I remembered a full stop.

Make sure you have given yourself a tick for those things as well.

My second sentence was for the sauce, I will use green bogeys, comma slime, and wriggly worms full stop.

Again, give yourself a tick for a tall capital letter at the beginning.

Give yourself a tick for any adjectives you have used.

I have used green and wriggly, so I have given myself a tick for those.

Then, let's look at our commas in a list.

Have you put a comma after the first item in your list? My first item was green bogeys.

I have put a comma after I've given myself a tick.

Have you remembered your and, to separate your final two items? So I have put my and between slime, and wriggly worms. Give yourself a tick if you remembered that.

And finally, my final sentences.

For the toppings, I will use crunchy toenails, comma socks, and squishy eyeballs, full stop.

Again, give yourself a tick for your tall capital letter, give yourself a tick for any adjectives you have used, I have used crunchy and squishy.

Give yourself a tick for your comma after your first item in your list.

Give yourself a tick for using an and to separate your final two items in your list.

And give yourself a tick for your full stop.

Whoa! You have worked so hard today, really, really well done.

Let's see what we've done today.

You have done a warmup, a skill reminder, you've built vocabulary and you've done an independent task.

Give yourself a pat on the back.

Congratulations, you have finished your lesson.
