Jack and the Beanstalk: created story (characters, mood, problems)

﻿Hi, there. My name's Miss Toole, and in this lesson, we are going to be exploring adding suffixes onto verbs. We're going to start off exploring what is a verb? Then we're going to be adding the suffix -ing. We're then going to be adding the suffix -ed, E D. And then we're going to be applying everything we've learned today to do some sentence writing. So you are going to need an exercise book or piece of paper, a pencil or a pen, your amazing brain, and your fabulous self. So go and get your resources, and press play when you are ready to go. Before we can start adding our suffixes -ing and -ed onto our verbs, we need to explore what is a verb? What is a verb? Now a verb is a word that describes an action. So something that we are doing. For example, right now I am talking. So talking is a verb. If I was going like this, I would be pushing. So pushing is the verb. That is the action in which I am doing. I am touching my arm. Touching is the verb. So the verb is the word that tells us the action. It tells us the action that the person is doing. And I have a little bit of a song to help us remember what is a verb, and it goes like this. ♪ What's a verb? ♪ ♪ It's an action. ♪ ♪ What's a verb? ♪ ♪ It's an action. ♪ ♪ We can run, we can skip, we can hop, we can jump. ♪ ♪ What's a verb? ♪ ♪ It's an action. ♪ Do you think you can help me? And it reminds us what is a verb? So it goes like this: ♪ What's a verb? ♪ ♪ It's an action. ♪ ♪ You say, "Oh, what's a verb?" ♪ ♪ It's an action. ♪ Why don't we say it again? ♪ What's a verb? ♪ ♪ It's an action. ♪ ♪ What's a verb? ♪ ♪ It's an action. ♪ And then we list some of the verbs. So we can say, "We can run, we can skip, we can hop, we can jump." So you ready? ♪ We can run, we can skip, we can hop, we can jump. ♪ Again. ♪ We can run, we can skip, we can hop, we can jump. ♪ Last time. ♪ We can run, we can skip, we can hop, we can jump. ♪ And then we say our last line again. ♪ What's a verb? ♪ ♪ It's an... action! ♪ So throughout today's lesson, I might just randomly start singing our chant, and I want you to shout back at me. So I might go, "What's a verb?" And you say... "It's an action." And that's going to help us remember what is a verb? So when we come to one of our suffix, we're not thinking, "Hmm, I'm not too sure what a verb is," because we'll have lots of examples to help us in our writing. So what's a verb? It's an action! Well done. Let's have a look at some of the verbs we can use in today's lesson. On the slide, I have put some verbs that we are going to be using in today's lesson, and you may have also used some of these verbs in your creative story. I know I have used the verb squawk because our parrot squawked at the other pirates. So you may want to map out, which means you can take some of our verbs to put into your story. Or you may already have them in. So we have six verbs. We've got look. Can you find the word look into the la, la, la? Look. That's right. It's here. Look. We've got walk. Let's go for a walk. We have squawk. So the parrot squawk! Squawk. We have play. So you can play with your friends, play. We have... talk. Talk. And I wonder if you could use your sounding out to find this one. Wuh, and the a is giving us an ah sound in it. So it's wuh, ah, tch. Wuh, ah, tch. Do you know what it is? We can watch people, watch. Okay, I'm going to describe one of the verbs now, and I want you to have a go at thinking which verb am I describing. I am describing a verb that I am doing right now, and sometimes you can do this verb really loudly! And sometimes you can do it really quietly. Which verb am I talking about? Oh, I just said it. I am talking about talk, the verb talk! Okay, the next one. You use your eyes to do it. You can face forward, and these could actually describe two of our verbs. But the one I'm thinking about you face forward, and it begins with a la. La. Which verb am I talking about? Look! Look at people. Good. Okay. Now I was wondering if you could think of any more verbs at home because what's a verb? It's an action! So is there any more action words that you can think of that we have not got in our table? If there are, write them down because you might be able to include them in your writing later on. The focus of today's lesson is to add the suffix -ing and -ed to our verbs. Now the verb is the root word. So look, play, walk, talk, squawk, and watch are our root words. And our suffix goes at the end of the word. Where does the suffix go? At the end. Good. So we're adding -ing and -ed onto the end of the words, and when we add -ing and -ed, it changes the tense. So -ing is talking about now, present tense, what we are doing now. And when we come to look at -ed, that looks at the past tense, tells what they were doing. So for example, I have got look and play on the screen, and I have already added the suffix -ing to both of them. So now we've got looking and playing. So the boy was playing with his toys. She was looking out of the window. And I was wondering on your piece of paper, could you write the new words for walk, talk, squawk, and watch, adding the suffix -ing. So pause now to write those four words down, and then when you're ready, press play to carry on. So I have put the answers onto the slide. So you should have walking, talking, squawking, and watching. So check with what you've got written down, and then if you need to correct something, that's okay 'cause that's how we learn. Now that you have got your new words with the -ing suffix, we are going to apply these verbs into a sentence. And your challenge is to read the sentence on the next slide and decide which of our words needs to go in. So is it looking, playing, walking, talking, squawking, or watching? So read the sentence, and put in the correct word. We have got the same verbs on the slide, so look, play, walk, talk, squawk, and watch. But this time, we're going to be looking at adding the suffix -ed. So add an -ed onto the end of the word, and when we add -ed onto the end of the word, it makes a word turn into past tense. It tells what already happened. So the woman looked out of the window. It tells us that she did that, not what she's doing now. The little boy played with his tractor. It tells us what he did. It's in the past tense. So when we add -ed, it makes in the... Past tense. And we'll add an -ed to our verb, and a verb is an... Action. Well remembered. Verbs are actions. So we're adding -ed to show that our action happened in the past. So same as before with the -ing. For look and play, I have already added the -ed suffix. We've got looked and played. But for walk, talk, squawk, and watch, I haven't added the suffix, and I want you to have a go at writing down those four words with the suffix -ed to show that they happened in the past. So walked, talked, squawked, and watched. Off you go. I have put the answers onto the slide. So you've got walked, talked, squawked, and watched. Check with what you've got written down, and if you need to make a correction, that's okay because that's how we learn. Now on the next slide, I have got another sentence with a missing word, and the missing word is one of our past tense verbs. So it's going to have the suffix -ed on the end. I need you to have a go at reading the sentence and decide which word goes onto the missing line. So off you go. Now that we have our past and present tense verbs using our suffix -ing and -ed, I'm going to have a go at writing some sentences based around my creative story. And when I'm finished, I would like you to have a go doing the same. Now I'm going to focus on the verb look. So I'm going to be doing look. So I'm going to be using looking and looked. I want to write two sentences, one with looking, which is telling us the present, and then one with looked, which tells us what happened in the past. So my first sentence is going to be, Pirate Pete is looking for the treasure. So Pirate, Pete, is, looking, for, the, treasure, seven words. When I'm writing a sentence, what does it need to begin with? A capital letter. And especially because Pirate Pete is his name, it needs a capital letter. So capital. Pirate. Pete is also his name, so that needs a capital letter. Pirate Pete is looking for his treasure. Is is one of our tricky common exception words. Do you remember? Is. Now looking we have on our other page. So it's a l, and we get our oo sound by two Os. Look -ing, i, n, g, -ing. Pirate Pete is looking for his treasure. For, f, o, r. For his. His, h, is. His treasure. Treasure. Pirate Pete is looking for his treasure. My sentence makes sense. What do we need to put at the end? A full stop shows the end of my sentence. So I have got looking in that one. So in my next sentence, I'm going to be using the word looked 'cause now I'm going to put it in the past tense. So Pirate Pete looked for his treasure. So same sentence, but I'm putting it now into the past tense. So still starts with our capital letter, starts a sentence, and it's his name. Pirate. Remember Pete is also his name, so it needs a capital letter. Pirate Pete looked. So I've got that root look. Look, and remember I get the past tense suffix is the -ed. Looked. Pirate Pete looked for his treasure. Pirate Pete looked for his treasure. And now I've got both of my sentences. I've got the root word look, but I've got looking and looked. Now I want you to have a go at writing your own sentences based on your creative story, using our verbs in today's lesson. How did you find writing your sentences today? Did you manage to get your suffix -ing and -ed into your sentence and check it made sense with the right tense 'cause that is really important? When we're checking our sentences, we also need to make sure they've got capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. Let's give ourselves a fine work hooray for our super effort in our writing. Are we ready? Hoo-ray! Well done. To finish, we are going to sing our song to remind us what is a verb. So remember, I will do it first, and then we can sing it together. So you ready? ♪ What's a verb? ♪ ♪ It's an action. ♪ ♪ What's a verb? ♪ ♪ It's an action. ♪ ♪ We can run, we can skip, we can hop, we can jump. ♪ ♪ What's a verb? ♪ ♪ It's an action. ♪ Are you ready to join in at home? Let's go. ♪ What's a verb? ♪ ♪ It's an action. ♪ ♪ What's a verb? ♪ ♪ It's an action. ♪ ♪ We can run, we can skip, we can hop, we can jump. ♪ ♪ What's a verb? ♪ ♪ It's an... action. ♪ So whenever you're at home doing your writing and you're not too sure, you can think of our song to remind you what a verb is. And then you can start to think of all our different action words to describe what our character is doing. Well done today, and we will carry on in this unit, folks, and in writing our story and making that problem really matter.
