Lesson video

Hello there.

My name is Mr. Tilstone, and I'm really excited to be working with you today on your maths lesson.

Our unit of learning is all about time.

In today's lesson, we're going to be thinking about the things that you do every day and putting them into a special order.

So if you're ready, let's begin.

the outcome of today's lesson.

What we'd like you to say at the end of it is, "I can sequence everyday events in chronological order." Our keywords, we've got quite a few.

We're going to do them now in a my turn, your turn style.

So my turn, first, your turn.

My turn, then, your turn.

My turn, next, your turn.

My turn, after, your turn.

My turn, finally, your turn.

You might know some of those words already.

I think you probably do.

We're going to use them today.

Our lesson is going to be split into two cycles.

That first will be describe the order of events, and the second, sequence the order of events.

But if you are ready, let's start with describe the order of events.

In this lesson, you're going to meet Jun and Izzy.

Have you seen them before? Have you met them before? They're going to be here today to give us a helping hand.

Jun loves art, so he loves painting, he loves drawing.

Maybe you do too.

He's drawing pictures of things that happen in his day.

He has put these into chronological order, so from start to finish, and he's using our keywords, first, next, after, then, and finally, to help him describe his morning routine.

So maybe you can start by thinking about what your morning routine is.

What do you do in the morning? Now let's find out what Jun does, and he's going to use those words to describe it.

What do you think this picture's showing? "First, I wake up." I would think that's the same for you.

First, you wake up too.

But then maybe you do this next, maybe you don't.

What do you think this is? "Next, I eat my breakfast." Is that the same for you or do you do something before you eat your breakfast? What do you do straight after you wake up? What's this a picture of do you think? "After that," he says, "I brush my teeth." When do you brush your teeth? What's this picture, do you think? "Then, I walk to school with my mummy." So he is talking about his morning in the order that it happens, in chronological order.

What do you think this picture's showing? "Finally, I start my school day." So that's his morning routine.

What's your morning routine like? Do you do some of the same things? What order do you do things in? So Izzy is trying to recount Jun's day.

So she's listened to his day.

Now she's having to go at recounting it, and she's got these keywords, first, next, after, then, and finally.

And she says, "First, I brush my teeth." Hmm.

Is that right? Is that the first thing that Jun does? Look at the pictures.

I don't think it is.

No, that's not right.

He does do that, but not first.

You can only use that word first for the start of a sequence.

Have a look what's at the start of his sequence.

"First, I wake up." That's right, Izzy.

That is the first thing that he does.

Okay, now she's having a go at using the word finally.

She says, "Finally, I eat my breakfast." Hmm.

I don't think that's right either, do you? What does he do finally? Have a look at the pictures.

That's not right.

You can only use finally for the end of the sequence, so it's a special word for the end.

So first for the start and finally for the end.

She says, "Finally, I start my school day." That's more like it, Izzy.

And the other key words, you can use in between first and finally in any order.

So you can say next, after, and then in any particular order.

So she says, "Next, I eat my breakfast." Yep, that's right.

"After that, I eat my breakfast," she could say.

That works as well, doesn't it? That makes sense.

She could say, "Then I eat my breakfast." So she can use any of those words.

Okay, let's do a little check, shall we? Use the language there, So first, next, after, then, and finally, to describe the order of events in Jun's morning routine.

If you've got to partner with you, talk to them, pause the video, and good luck.

How did you get on describing Jun's morning routine using our keywords? The wording might be a bit different, but you might have said, "First, Jun wakes up.

After that, he has breakfast.

Next, he brushes his teeth.

Then, he walks to school with his mummy.

Finally, he starts his school day." Jun has drawn pictures to describe his afternoon routine in chronological order.

So we've done his morning routine.

This is what he does in the afternoon.

And again, we're going to have in order from first to last.

What do you think this is? "First," he says, "I walk home from school with my daddy." So he walks to school with his mummy and back home from school with his daddy.

That's his first thing that he does after school.

How do you get home after school? Maybe you go in the car, for example.

Maybe you walk with a child minder.

Everybody's got different routines.

Okay, what do you think this is a picture of? He's done this drawing.

What could it be? "After, if the weather is nice, we go to the park." Oh, that's nice, isn't it? Is that something you do sometimes? Or do you have any other outdoor routines after school? Is there something else that you do? Okay.

What about this? What's this a picture of? What do you think? "Next," he says, "I walk the dog with my daddy." Do you have a pet? Maybe you have a dog and maybe you walk your dog.

Do you have any daily routines involving your pet? Might not be walking your pet, could be something else, could be feeding your pet, for example.

What do you think this is a picture of? Looks yummy, doesn't it? What could it be? "Finally," he says, "I eat my dinner." When do you eat after school? Maybe you eat straight after school.

Maybe it's a bit later.

Let's have a quick check, shall we? So two of the events from Jun's afternoon routine are in the wrong order.

Correct them and describe his routine.

So you've got those keywords there to help you, first, next, after, then, and finally.

If you've got a partner, this will be a great opportunity to chat to them.

Pause the video and off you go.

How did you get on with that? Okay, well, these were the events in the wrong order, and this is the right order.

And you might have said something like, "First, Jun walks home.

Then, he goes to the park.

Next, he walks his dog.

And finally, he eats his dinner." You might have got some of those words in a different order, particularly next, after, and then.

So Jun now is going to describe his evening routine in chronological order.

So we've seen what he does in the morning, in order, in chronological order.

We've seen what he does in the afternoon in chronological order.

Now this is his evening routine, so the last part of his day.

What do you think this could be a picture of? "First," he says, "I have a bath." What's this, do you think? "Next, I do some reading with my older sister." Some children read at different times.

Like, for example, you read just before bed, but this is when Jun reads, and this is who he reads to.

What could this be? I think you can probably guess.

"After that," he says, "I go to the toilet." That's a good idea.

What's the last thing that you do before you get into bed? So that's the last thing that Jun does, go to the toilet, which is sensible.

What do you do? And then what could this be? He's got his eyes closed on the picture.

"Finally," he says, "I get in bed and go to sleep." Do you have any special bedtime routines? Let's do a quick check.

So label the pictures with the correct words and use them to describe Jun's evening routine.

So we've got next, finally, after, and first.

They're not in the right order.

Can you put them in the right order? So these are now in the right order.

So first, next, after, and finally.

Or you might say first, after, next, finally, but we need to make sure that first is the first one and finally is the last one.

And you might have said something like this.

"First, Jun has a bath.

After, he reads to his sister.

Next, he goes to the toilet.

And finally, he goes to bed." Time for some practise.

So we've got those words again, first, next, after, then, and finally.

So think about the events that happen in your day.

You may wish to use Jun's pictures to help you think or use your own.

And then the first thing we'd like you to do is describe your morning routine to a partner.

And here's just a little example of some things to remind you of things that you might talk about, but you might have different ones too.

The next thing we'd like you to do is describe your afternoon routine to a partner.

And again, these pictures are there just to remind you what things you could be talking about, but I bet you've got some different ones too.

And then finally, describe your evening routine to a partner.

And here's some pictures to remind you of some of the things that you might do in the evening.

But again, you might have different ones or special ones.

Okay, pause the video and I'll see you soon.

Welcome back.

Hope you enjoyed talking about your routine.

Now, obviously, this all depends on what you do in your day, and it's going to be different from other people, but you need to make sure that, whatever you started with, you use the word first for.

And your final event, you're going to describe using the word finally.

And the same for your afternoon routine.

It starts with first, ends with finally, and you use the other words in between, and the same for your evening routine.

You've been amazing so far.

Let's see if you are ready for the next cycle, which is to sequence the order of events.

And we're going to have a special story.

This is all about Pedro the Panda.

This is his story, and this is the story about the events in his day, which are told in chronological order, so from start to finish.

One Sunday morning, in the mountains, Pedro the Panda felt hungry.

He yearned to eat something other than bamboo.

As the sun rose in the sky, he decided to go on an adventure to find something new to eat.

He climbed down the mountain.

He swam across the river.

At midday, he came across a jungle full of food he hadn't seen before.

So you might know that word, midday.

That's the middle of the day, 12 o'clock.

So he's come across this food that he's not seen before.

That's good because he's hungry.

That afternoon, he ate seven ripe oranges, but they didn't taste as good as bamboo.

That evening, he was still feeling rather hungry, and missed his family in the mountains.

As the sun began to set, he decided to go home.

He swam back across the river.

He climbed back up the mountain.

Pedro was finally home.

That evening, Pedro ate some bamboo.

Hope you enjoyed that little story about Pedro the Panda.

Which part of the story can you describe using first? So have a look at the pictures.

Which one is first? Is it A? Is it B? Is it C? Can you remember the story? Talk to your partner if you've got one and pause the video.

Did you manage to agree? What was first? It was B.

That was the first thing he did, he woke up.

Let's have another quick check.

Which part of the story can you describe using the word finally? Have a look at the pictures again, A, B, and C.

Which one is finally? Pause the video.

What do you think? Which one was finally? Which one was the last thing he did? Can you remember from the story? One of these pictures looks like it's dark.

So that's a little clue, and that is A.

That's the final part of the story.

Time for some practise.

So use the picture card.

So you've got some picture cards in front of Pedro's day.

Sequence his day.

Put them in order and then tell his story using the words above.

So put those pictures in the right order and then tell the story using first, next, after, then, and finally.

Enjoy.

Good luck.

See you soon.

Welcome back.

Did you enjoy putting his story in order? Did you manage to use those key words? You might have said something like this.

First, Pedro woke up feeling hungry.

You might have used different words for that, but that's what happens first.

Next, he climbed down the mountain.

Now, you might not have used the word next.

You might have used after, or you might have used the word then, but he climbed down the mountain.

After that, he swam across the river.

Now, don't worry too much if you got those events jumbled up.

Maybe you had him swimming across the river before that.

It doesn't matter.

This is your story.

Then, he found some oranges to eat.

Next, he felt tired and decided to go home.

Finally, so the last thing he did, he arrived home and ate bamboo.

We've come to the end of the lesson, and I've had great fun working with you today on this lesson, which has been all about sequencing every day events in chronological order.

The events that happen in your day can be explained in chronological order, starting with the first and ending with the last.

The day starts with the morning, then the afternoon, then the evening.

That's how the day goes.

First, next, after, then, and finally are our special keywords, and they can be used to help us describe our daily routines.

Well done on today's lesson.

I'm very proud of you.

You've achieved lots.

Give yourself a little pat on the back.

Hopefully, I'll get to see you again soon for another maths lesson.

But until then, take care.

Enjoy the rest of your day and goodbye.
