Lesson video

Hello, everyone.

My name's Mrs. Riley and I'm here today to teach you some new vocabulary.

In our lesson today, we'll be focusing on vocabulary associated with eating.

We all know there are different ways we might eat something.

For example, the way you gobbled up a pizza that you loved when you are really hungry, will be different to the way that you might eat something that you're a bit worried about, that you're trying for the first time, maybe like a frog's leg or something like that.

So there's different ways to describe how we eat and that's what we're going to be learning today.

Six new words to describe different ways we might eat something.

So these words will be really helpful.

Let's get started.

The outcome of today's lesson is to use the words devour, demolish, and other rich vocabulary associated with eating.

Here are our keywords for today's lesson.

These are the words that we'll be using again and again.

So let's first of all just practise saying each one.

My turn, your turn.

Noun, verb, synonym, word pair.

Well done.

Let's find out what each one means.

A noun is a naming word for people, places, or things.

So anything you eat is a thing.

So anything you eat would be a noun.

A verb is a being, doing or having word.

Eating is something we do.

So any word that is a synonym or that is like the word eating will be a verb.

A synonym, as I just mentioned, is a word that has the same or similar meaning to another word.

So today we'll be learning synonyms for the word eat.

They will have a similar meaning to the word eat.

Word pairs are words that often appear together and these haven't just been randomly selected, these have been chosen based on statistics.

So there's been research made for these words we're looking at today in books and in newspapers and in all kinds of different writing, which words are most commonly paired together.

And that is how the word pairs have been selected so they're really accurate.

And learning a word with its word pair will help us to use these new words correctly and effectively.

So in our lesson today, we have three learning cycles and in each learning cycle, we will be looking at new eating words.

So let's start off with our first new eating word.

Take a look at this Mrs Wordsmith picture.

What is happening here? This is Yin who is one of two tiger twins.

But what's Yin doing here and how would you describe the way she is eating? I'd like you to pause the video and you can either have some thinking time or if someone's close by, you could describe out loud what you see.

Pause the video now.

Well done.

Yin in this picture is leaning back on a cushion to make herself comfortable and I can see around her are some fish skeletons.

So I can see that Yin has already eaten a lot of fish.

Yin's got a fish that she is eating in one mouthful and so I definitely think that Yin is feeling very hungry.

And I can see Yin's tummy looks quite bloated, so it looks like Yin's already eaten quite a lot.

Let's find out what this word is.

Devour, my turn, your turn, devour.

Well done.

Devour is a verb, it's something you would do.

It means to eat hungrily or gobble up when you swallow your dinner quickly in hungry mouthfuls.

Now, because devour is a verb, there are different forms, different versions of it that we might use because for example, we might say every morning I devour my breakfast.

That would be in the present tense.

But we would say yesterday I devoured a pizza in the past tense.

Or we might say Yin enjoys devouring fish whole.

So we've got different forms of devour that we could use such as devours, devouring, and devoured.

So these words are synonyms of devour.

That means they have a similar meaning.

Consume, gobble and eat hungrily.

Yin could devour a fish whole, swallowing them in one mouthful.

I would like you to quickly pause the video and think of something that you have devoured recently, something that you have eaten hungrily or gobbled up.

Pause the video now.

Well done.

I would love to know what those things are that you devoured.

So these are word pairs of devour, devour a meal, devour steak, devour a book.

Now, that's a funny one because you can't actually physically eat a book, but if you were to devour a book, it's like you've almost gobbled it up because you've loved it so much.

You've just wanted to turn the page and read it in one go.

Have you ever read a book that you love so much that you've wanted to kind of consume it quickly? You don't want to just read a few pages and put it down and read it and wait a week before you read it again.

You want to literally devour it in one sitting.

I wonder if that's ever happened to you.

Ooh, devour cake.

Devour prey.

Perhaps a lion might devour its prey.

And devour pizza.

So could you pause the video now and read these word pairs out loud? Off you go.

Well done.

Which of these words is a synonym of devour? Remember, a synonym means it has a similar meaning.

A, enjoy, B, gobble or C, slurp.

Pause the video while you think about your answer.

Well done.

The correct answer is B.

Gobble is a synonym of devour.

Okay, it's time for our first task.

In this task, you have a word map with the word devour written in the middle.

No,w around the word devour are either synonyms or word pairs.

First, I would like you to find the synonyms. That's going to deepen your understanding of what this word means.

And when you find the synonyms, I would like you to circle them.

Once you've found the synonyms, I would like you to draw lines from devour to all of the other word pairs.

And as you do it, I would like you to read the word pairs out loud.

Here is a sentence to help you.

Yin could devour fish whole, swallowing them in one mouthful.

If you're unsure if a word is a synonym or a word pair, you could try taking out the word devour in that sentence and seeing if you could replace it with the word.

If you can replace it, it's likely to be a synonym.

So there's a trick to help you.

So could you pause the video now while you complete this first task? Well done.

Let's go through the answers together.

The synonyms of devour are consume, eat hungrily and gobble.

The word pairs are devour steak, devour a meal, devour a pizza, devour prey, devour cake, devour a book.

Well done if you spotted the difference between the synonyms and the word pairs.

Okay, the first eating word was devour.

Let's find out what our second new eating word is.

We'll start off by looking at a picture.

Could you pause the video? This is Brick.

And just describe what is happening here.

Well done.

Well, Brick here is he looks like he's doing some kind of work.

He's kind of wearing almost like some dungarees or boiler suit.

He's got gloves on and he's got a hard yellow helmet on, which is often associated with what you might wear if you were doing some kind of building work.

And he's got a toolbox in front of him, a red toolbox.

Now, in his hands, he has got two big sandwiches and he looks like his cheeks are full of food and it looks like he is really scoffing those sandwiches down, like he's extremely hungry.

And around him, it looks like the wrappers of the sandwiches, there's a crushed can of Coke, there's a hammer.

So it doesn't look like he's eating this in a very dainty or delicate way.

Let's find out what this word is.

Demolish, my turn, tour turn.

Demolish.

Well done.

Demolish is also a verb, so it's something that we do.

It means to destroy or eat up, when you gobble something up until there's nothing left.

So when we eat something up, we almost are destroying it, aren't we? Because we're eating up it up.

But if you said, "Wow, you demolished that pizza," it's like you have eaten it up really, really quickly and you've really gobbled it up.

But also, because it can mean destroy, also, you could demolish a wall and we'll see that later on in the word pairs.

So again, because this is a verb, other forms might be demolished, in the past tense, demolishes or demolishing.

So these words are synonyms of demolish: destroy, eat, and completely get rid of.

So if you demolish your pizza, you've completely got rid of it.

You haven't left any little crusts.

Brick absolutely demolished his lunch.

It was gone in less than two minutes.

These are word pairs of demolish.

Demolish your lunch, demolish a cake, demolish a bridge.

So again, that doesn't mean we're eating it up, it means we are destroying it.

Demolish a wall, demolish a building, demolish a house.

So we've kind of got two different uses for this word.

It can mean to eat something or it can mean to destroy something.

Which of these words is a synonym of demolish? A, destroy, B, guzzle, C, Gulp.

Pause the video now.

Well done, the correct answer is A.

Destroy and demolish our synonyms. It's time for another word map.

This time demolish is in the middle.

First, I'd like you to circle the synonyms and then I'd like you to draw lines to the word pairs.

Again, here's a sentence to help you.

Brick absolutely demolished his lunch.

It was gone in less than two minutes.

Remember that trick, if you're unsure if a word is a synonym or a word pair, you could try it out in the sentence to see if the meaning is similar.

So pause the video now while you complete this task.

Well done.

Let's go through the answers together.

The synonyms are destroy, completely get rid of and eat.

The word pairs are demolish a building, demolish a house, demolish a wall, demolish a bridge, demolish your lunch, demolish a cake.

Okay, for the next part of your task, it's time to write a sentence using either the word devour or demolish.

Use the word pairs to help you.

Here are the word pairs for devour.

So if you choose to write a sentence using the word devour, you might, for example, choose devour a book.

And then you might think who is devouring a book? How could you put that into a sentence that's really impressive? Or demolish, Here's the word pairs.

So again, your sentence is going to be very different if you choose to write about demolishing a wall or demolishing a cake.

So use the word pairs to help you and they can be the kind of springboard for the idea of your sentence.

Try to be really ambitious when you write your sentence.

For example, if I was not feeling particularly ambitious, I could just pick a word pair, devour, and I could pick a character, maybe I might pick, I might pick Brick and I might say Brick devoured a pizza.

Full stop.

And that would be a correct sentence.

But I want to really exaggerate this idea that if you devour something, you gobble it up or you'll eat it up greedily.

So I could think about what I could add to that sentence to exaggerate how he was really greedily eating this pizza and how hungry he was perhaps.

So think about adding detail to your sentence if you can.

Always read it back to check your work.

And good luck.

Pause the video now.

Well done, let's take a look at an example sentence together.

So does this sentence use devour correctly? So I've used the word devour.

After desperately hunting for days, the ravenous lion hungrily devoured its prey, leaving only a few bones for the vultures.

Well, firstly, I can see I've used devour correctly because I've used a word pair prey.

The lion hungrily devoured its prey.

That's the thing it devoured.

But there's all these extra details in this sentence, which exaggerate how he gobbled up the prey.

For example, after desperately hunting for days, that extra detail tells me how hungry the lion was.

Leaving only a few bones for the vultures, that shows that he consumed most of it.

And again, I've got an adjective to describe the ravenous lion.

That means extremely hungry.

So all of those extra details kind of exaggerate this word devour.

So how effective is your sentence? Perhaps you could pause the video and go back and see if there's any detail you could add to really exaggerate either devour or demolish.

Pause the video now while you check your sentence.

Well done.

Okay, it's time to look at our other new eating words.

The first word was devour.

The second word was demolish.

They're both verbs.

Let's find out what our other four words are.

So look at each picture.

Look at how each character is eating or drinking.

You might even be able to predict what each word might be.

For example, Yin is eating those noodles.

It looks like she's not gobbling them up or stuffing them in.

It looks like she's kind of eating them quite slowly and looks like she's really enjoying it.

Do you know what word that might be? Plato is breathing in and those donuts are flying in his mouth.

I wonder if you know what word that might be.

It looks like Grit has eaten some spicy chilies and is drinking that milk really desperately and quickly.

And oh my goodness, Stax looks like he has eaten so much, he's so full.

So I wonder if you might be able to predict what any of these eating words are.

Pause the video now.

Okay, let's see how you got on.

So the first picture is savour.

It's a verb and it means to enjoy or appreciate when you eat something very slowly so you can enjoy every bite.

Sometimes I let myself have a little bit of chocolate and when I eat it, I try to savour it.

So I try.

And so for example, if I'm having something like a Mini Egg, I put it in my mouth and rather than just crunching it and swallowing it, I let it slowly melt in my mouth so I can savour it for as long as possible.

So it means to enjoy or appreciate.

And Yin in that picture looks like she's savouring that lovely bowl of noodles that she's got.

The second one is inhale.

Again, it's a verb.

It means to breathe in or eat quickly, like gobbling up your food in one breath.

So if somebody ate something really quickly, you might say, "Gosh, you inhaled your lunch.

It's almost like you've just (instructor gasping) breathed it in like Plato's doing in that picture.

Now, guzzle is a verb that means to gobble or devour, like gulping down a huge carton of milk all in one go.

Now, guzzle, I'd say out of all of the six words we've looked at today, guzzle is the one that can be used to describe eating food, but also drinking a fluid.

So in this picture, we can see Grit is guzzling the milk because he has obviously got.

If you've got eaten something really spicy, milk can sometimes cool your mouth down a little bit.

And gorge is a verb meaning to stuff yourself or overeat when you eat a giant mountain of food, all in one go and feel a little sick.

So if you went to a party, you might gorge on food 'cause there's so much delicious food there.

But then afterwards, you might feel a little bit stuffed or a little bit sick.

So four new words.

All of them are verbs, they are all different ways of describing eating.

Or guzzle might describe drinking.

And we're now going to check to see if you have remembered which ones they are.

But before we do that, let's just practise saying each one out loud.

My turn, your turn.

Are you ready? Savour.

Inhale.

Guzzle.

Gorge.

Well done.

Okay, so could you match the verb to the correct image? We've got gorge, savour, inhale and guzzle.

Pause the video while you do this now.

Well done.

Sog orge is the one where Stax has gorged on, looks like too much chicken.

Savour is where Yin is savouring, enjoying every single mouthful, eating it slowly.

Inhale is Plato inhaling those donuts.

And guzzle is Grit guzzling that milk to cool his mouth down.

Okay, so for each of our four new words that we've just looked at, we're going to do a word map.

Now, because I've gone through the instructions, I'm not gonna go through each time what you have to do.

You know for each one, you need to first circle the synonyms and then draw lines to the word pairs.

And for each word, there will be a sentence to help you.

So I'll read the sentence out each time.

After eating a spicy chilli, Grit guzzled milk to cool his burning tongue.

So could you pause the video while you complete this task? Well done.

Let's go through the answers together.

The synonyms are gobble, gulp and devour.

And you could guzzle drink, guzzle petrol.

Now, obviously, a human wouldn't want guzzle petrol, but a car might guzzle petrol if it uses petrol really quickly.

That would mean it's not very environmentally friendly.

Guzzle water, guzzle food, guzzle gallons and guzzle coffee.

Now, the only one there that might have caused a bit of confusion might have been drink.

You might have thought drink could have been a synonym.

'cause guzzle, you could guzzle water, drink, strictly kind of I think could be a synonym as well.

So if you circled that one, don't worry, that's fine as well.

Okay, the next one, inhale.

Plato inhaled his food like a vacuum cleaner sucking up dirt.

Pause the video while you complete this word map.

Let's go through the answers together.

The synonyms of inhale are gulp, eat quickly and breathe in.

The word pairs are inhale smoke.

So if you went into a room that was really smoky, you would inhale the smoke.

Inhale food, inhale gas, inhale vapour, which is kind of like steam.

Inhale fumes if you were in a polluted city, inhale fragrance, which is a smell, you might inhale the fragrance.

Inhale steam, and inhale dust.

So all different things that we can inhale.

Okay, savour.

It took Yin two hours to finish her dinner because she savoured every mouthful.

Pause the video while you complete this task.

Well done.

The synonyms are enjoy, relish and appreciate.

The word pairs are savour the taste, savour a mouthful, savour a bite, savour the moment.

If you were in a situation that was just completely lovely, like imagine you're sitting in the sunshine, the sun's on your face, you've got maybe a lovely delicious ice cream or a lovely drink and there's a lovely cool breeze and you just feel so happy, you might savour the moment.

You might really appreciate and enjoy it.

Savour memories, enjoying and appreciating lovely memories you have.

And savour a victory.

If you've just won, perhaps beaten someone in a game, maybe a board game or a football match, you might want to really just say, no, hang on, I just wanna savour this victory.

I wanna just really appreciate and enjoy the fact that I've won or we've won.

Okay, and finally, gorge.

Here's the sentence.

Stax spent Sunday gorging on roast chicken, eating until he had to loosen his belt.

So again, for one last time, could you pause the video and complete this task? Lovely.

Let's go through the answers.

The synonyms are guzzle, overeat and stuff yourself.

The word pairs are greedily gorge, completely gorge, simply gorge, shamelessly gorge.

You're not embarrassed about it.

You're just shamelessly gorging on food.

Guiltlessly gorge.

Again, you're not gonna feel guilty, you're just gonna do it.

And often gorge.

And you may have noticed that that one was slightly different because I read the word pairs before the verb.

Most of those words, they're adverbs, they describe, they can describe adjectives or verbs.

So the verb here is gorge and the adverbs are describing how you do the thing, which is gorging, greedily gorge.

Or you could say gorge greedily, completely gorge or gorge completely, shamelessly gorge or gorge shamelessly.

So the adverb can go before or after the verb.

And it's just adding some extra detail of how the verb, how it's happening.

It describes the verb, and they can also describe adjectives.

Okay, so for our last task in this lesson, I'm going to read you some sentences.

In each sentence, there is a gap.

You need to fill the gap with either the word devour, demolish, inhaled, guzzled, savour, or gorge.

So you will have noticed when I read those verbs out to you that inhaled and guzzled are both in the past tense, whereas the others aren't.

So that might be a clue as to which sentences they fit with.

Listen carefully as I read the sentences out.

Oz hated the wall in her garden, which blocked the lovely view, so she finally decided she would pay someone to mm it.

Can you remember what that word is that means to destroy? Grit's old truck mm petrol so quickly that it needed refilling every five minutes.

Imagine that.

Grit wheezed after he mm dust in the old library.

Oz likes to mm the taste of the expensive chocolate by letting it slowly melt in her mouth.

Oh, that's what I do too.

Armie loved reading, meaning he could easily mm a book in one sitting, which he usually did every weekend.

Yin and Yang only liked Halloween because they could shamelessly mm on buckets of sweets without being told off by their dads.

So could you pause the video and decide which word fits best in each sentence? If you get to one sentence and you think, oh, that could be this or this, I'm not quite sure, then just leave that one out and go to do the other ones that you feel more confident with.

And then when you go back to it, you'll have less options to choose from.

So it'll make it a bit easier so you don't have to do them in the order that you see them.

Good luck with this task.

Pause the video now.

Well done.

Let's go through the answers.

Oz hated the wall in her garden, which blocked the lovely view.

So she finally decided she would pay someone to demolish it, to break it down, to completely destroy it.

I would want to destroy the wall, if it blocked the lovely view.

Grit's old truck guzzled petrol so quickly it needed refilling every five minutes.

Remember, guzzle, out of these verbs, is the one that's mostly associated with drinking as well as eating.

Grit wheezed after he inhaled dust in the old library, Oz liked to savour the taste of the expensive chocolate by letting it slowly melt in her mouth.

Really appreciate and enjoy it.

Armie loved reading, meaning he could easily devour a book in one sitting, which he usually did every weekend.

Gosh, how amazing would that be to read one book every weekend? Yin and Yang only liked Halloween because they could shamelessly gorge on buckets of sweets without being told off by their dads.

So their dads let them, on Halloween, gorge, stuff themselves with as many sweets as they like.

So let's summarise what we've learned today.

We have learnt six new verbs all associated with eating.

Devour means to eat hungrily or gobble up when you swallow your dinner quickly in hungry mouthfuls.

Demolish means to destroy or eat up, when you gobble something up until there's nothing left or you could demolish something, like a building.

Savour is to enjoy or appreciate.

When you eat something very slowly, so you can enjoy every bite, but you could also savour memories or savour a victory.

Inhale means to breathe in or eat quickly, like gobbling up your food in one breath.

But we could also inhale something like fumes or dust.

Guzzle is to gobble or devour, like gulping down a huge carton of milk all in one go.

But we also could say that a car guzzled petrol and gorge is to stuff yourself or overeat when you eat a giant mountain of food all in one go and feel a little sick.

So I hope you've enjoyed learning with me today.

You've worked really hard and you should feel really proud of yourselves that you know these six very impressive new words.

Hopefully I'll see you for some more learning another time.

Bye.
