﻿Hello everyone, my name's Ms. Butt. And today, I'm going to be teaching you some really useful vocabulary to use in your non-chronological reports on wild cats. Now I know you're going to be describing wild cats and tigers in particular. And one thing that tigers are famous for is being really good predators. They not only are excellent at catching their prey, but then they eat it up. Now when you're writing your non-chronological reports, we don't want to just keep using the word eat all the time. So today we're going to be learning some different ways to refer to how different characters or animals might eat. I hope you enjoy today's lesson. Here's what we're going to do today. First I'm going to introduce the new vocabulary one word at a time. And we're going to be looking at illustrations to help us understand what each word means. Then we're going to look at word pairs and synonyms, and that will again help us have a deeper understanding of each word and how to use it appropriately. And finally, we're going to apply these words in sentences. And right towards the end of the lesson, I'm going to ask you to write your own sentences. So for today's lesson, you will need something to write on and something to write with, and you'll also need your brains. So I hope that you are ready and focused. Perhaps, you might want to pause the video to go and get anything you need and to make sure you've cleared away any distractions before starting your learning. Great, let's get started. Here's some key vocabulary we need to understand for today's lesson. I'm going to say each word and then I'd like you to repeat it back to me. Synonym. Word pair. Verb. Noun. Excellent. A synonym is a word that means exactly or nearly the same as another word. Like merry and happy. Today we're going to be learning some synonyms for the word, eat. A word pair are words that often appear together. Like a bright sun or a bright moon. A verb is a being or a doing word and eating is something that we do. So the words we're going to be learning today are in fact, verbs, they're doing words. And nouns are either a person, a place, or a thing. So for example, a tiger would be a noun. Let's start thinking about different ways of eating. Can you have a little think to start off of how many different ways you can think of to eat something? For example, maybe, if you look at this image, we might say that this character was slurping up these noodles. You might also chomp into something or nibble at something. Can you think of any other ways that you can describe eating? And perhaps to help you, you could think about some things that you've eaten recently and that might give you some ideas. So pause the video and have a think now. Excellent. Ooh, I thought of the word, gobble. Because earlier I was so hungry that I gobbled up my sandwich quite greedily. So, let's take a look at our first eating word. Before I reveal the word, we're going to first look at the illustration. What's happening in this picture? What can you see? How do you think this character is feeling? And how would you describe that this character is eating? Can you pause the video and have a think now? Well this character looks a bit like how I felt at lunch, very, very hungry. And it looks like they're getting some fish and eating them all in one mouthful. And I can see scattered around them, the creature, I can see skeletons of fish, so it seems like this isn't the first one that it's eaten. It seems like it's eaten lots already. Let's find out what this eating word is. Devour. Devour. Devour is a verb that means to eat or gobble up; when you swallow your dinner quickly in hungry mouthfuls. I'm going to read some words to you and I'd like you to see if you can identify any synonyms of the word devour. If they're not synonyms, then that means they will be word pairs. Their should be three synonyms. See if you can spot them. A meal. Consume. A steak. A book. A cake. A pizza. Your prey. Gobble up. And eat hungrily. Now remember a synonym is a word that means the same thing, or more or less the same thing as devour. Here's the word in a sentence and this might help you. After a long hunt, the wild cat devoured its prey hungrily. Pause the video and see if you can tell me the three synonyms. Well done. The synonyms are, consume, gobble up, or eat hungrily. And that means the rest of these words are word pairs, which I'm going to read to you now. Devour a meal. Devour a steak. Devour a book. Hmm? Now that doesn't mean that you would eat a book up. What it means is that if you devour a book, its almost as if you gobble it up because you love it so much. Let's imagine that you picked a book, like a Harry Potter novel and you sat down and you just read it in one sitting. You just couldn't wait because you were enjoying it so much. Someone might say, "Wow, you devoured that book, almost as if you gobbled it up because you loved it so much." Devour a cake. Devour your prey. And devour a pizza. When we learn new words, it's really important that we say them out loud, because that's the way that they stick in our minds. So can you pause the video now and read these words out loud, just like I did? Excellent, well done. So before we move on, can you just tell me in your own words, what does devour mean? Well done. It means to eat or gobble up. Let's take a look at our second illustration. What's happening in this picture? What can you see? How do you think the character's feeling? How would you describe that this character is eating in this picture? Pause the video and have a think. Oh, I was enjoying looking at this picture. It was making me laugh. In this image, I can see that one poor little character sat down with a cup of coffee or a cup of tea and a box of delicious looking donuts. And then somebody else has come along and almost breathed in so powerfully that the donuts are being sucked into the mouth. And it looks even like, this wind is so strong, it's pulling off, it's pulling the coffee and the box and even the little character itself out of its seat or off the table. I wonder what this word could be? Perhaps you've guessed it. Inhale. Inhale. So this is also a verb. And it means either to breathe in, so we can inhale and exhale where we breathe out. But you can also use it to describe eating quickly. Like hoovering up your food in one breath. So if somebody sat down and inhaled their food, it doesn't mean that they literally breathed in and just didn't swallow and that was how they ate their food. But it's an expression that we use to say that they ate it very quickly almost as if they just inhaled it. So just as before, I'm going to read you some words and I'd like you to see if you can spot any synonyms of inhale. Your food. Smoke. Gas. Steam. Dust. Breathe in. Fumes. Eat quickly. A scent. And suck up. I can spot one, two, three synonyms. I wonder if you can spot them, too. Just for a little bit of extra help, here's the word in a sentence. The cubs inhale their food, but the smallest cub often has to wait to eat any leftovers. Oh that's not very nice. Can you pause the video and see if you can tell me the three synonyms of inhale? Let's see how you got on. The synonyms are, breathe in eat quickly, and suck up. And that means the rest of these words are the word pairs, which I'll read to you now. Inhale your food. Inhale smoke, ooh that wouldn't be very good for you. Inhale gas, that also wouldn't be very good for you. Inhale steam. Inhale dust, that might make you sneeze. Inhale fumes or inhale a scent. A scent is another word for smell. So these are the words that often this word, inhale, appears next to. Can you pause the video now and read these words pair out loud just like I did? Brilliant, well done. So before we move on to our final word, can you remind me what does inhale mean? Use the picture to help you. Excellent. It means to breathe in or eat quickly. Let's take a look at our final eating word. What's happening in this picture? What can you see? What do you notice? How do you think this character's feeling? And how would you describe the way they're eating in this image? Pause the video and have a think. I think this character works in some kind of construction or as a builder, because they're wearing a hard yellow hat and they've got a toolbox. I can also see a hammer on the floor. Now they're eating an enormous, what looks like a Subway sandwich. But they look like they're munching it in quite an aggressive way. I can see that they've got food a bit around their mouth. They almost look like they're a bit frantic while eating it. Let's find out what this eating word is. Demolish. Demolish. This is also a verb and it means to destroy or eat up; when you gobble something up until there's nothing left. So again, just like how inhale, either means breathing in or eating quickly, demolish can be used to describe destroying something, but also eating something up really, gobbling something up almost as if you're this character who you might say is destroying that sandwich. Demolish and destroy are similar, but they're not quite the same. Do you know what the difference is between destroying something and demolishing something? For example, if there was a house and you destroyed it, or you demolished it, what would the difference be? Can you tell me? Pause the video if you can. So demolish means to completely get rid of it, whereas destroy means damaging it beyond repair. So if you destroyed a house, you still ruined it, it can't be repaired, but if you've demolished it, you've completely got rid of it. Okay, I'm going to read you some words now. And just as before, I want you to see if you can spot the three synonyms of demolish. Destroy. Your lunch. A cake. A bridge. A wall. A building. Eat up. A house. His argument. And completely get rid of. To help you, here's the word in a sentence. Having not eaten in days, these hungry predators demolish their food. Pause the video and see if you can spot the three synonyms, now. So the synonyms are, destroy, eat up, and completely get rid of. And that means the rest of these words are word pairs, which I'll read to you now. Demolish your lunch. Demolish a cake. Demolish a bridge. Demolish a wall. Demolish a building. Demolish a house. And demolish his argument. So if you were to demolish somebody's argument, it means you've completely destroyed their argument and made them so, if they tried to argue a case and you demolished it, it means that they've not got really an argument at all, cause you've kind of completely ruined it. Can you pause the video and can you read these word pairs aloud? Excellent, well done. So we've now learned all three words. I'd like you to pause the video and see if you can remember what these new words that we've learned are. Remember to use the pictures to help you. How did you get on? Did you remember them? So the first one was, devour. The second one was, inhale. And the final word was, demolish. So now instead of just saying, "The tiger eats its prey." We can use these three ways to describe eating instead. Now when we have, when we try to remember what words mean, it always helps to put the definitions into our own words. So I'd like you to imagine now that there's a younger child next to you, and can you explain to them what devour means, what does inhale mean, and what does demolish mean? Pause the video and have a go now. So here are the definitions just so you can see how you got on. Devour means eat or gobble up. Inhale means breathe in or eat quickly. And demolish means destroy or eat up. Let's take a look at applying these words in sentences. So I'm going to read some sentences to you and I'd like you to choose one of these verbs that you think fits best in each sentence. Now because of all these verbs are synonyms for eat, they probably all would work. So it's just about which one you think sounds the best, or which one fits the best in the context. These wild predators mm the antelope, leaving only the bones for the birds to peck on. Pause the video and have a think about which verb fits in this sentence. Now any of these could have worked, but I went for demolish. Because if they demolish an antelope, leaving only the bones, it kind of shows that they've completely destroyed it. After hours of waiting to succeed in her hunt, the tiger mm the carcass. So after hours of waiting, the tiger mm the carcass. How does the tiger eat the carcass? Again any of these verbs could fit. I went for the word devours. And finally, before mm its prey, the mother tiger ensures her cubs have had enough to eat. Now you'll notice I've turned the words, the verbs into with an -ING, devouring, inhaling, demolishing. Because it wouldn't make sense to say, "Before the fact devours its prey." Or "Before inhales its prey." But you could say, "Before devouring its prey." So sometimes we need to be careful when we use a verb to change the tense, so that it fits the sentence. Pause the video and think about which verb you would put in a sentence. Again any of these verbs could work. I went for before inhaling its prey. I'd like you now to have a go at writing your own sentences. So that you can show me that you can put, not only understand what these words mean, but that you can actually use them in your writing. Because I think these words are going to be really useful when you write about tigers. So if you want, you could use this sentence stem to help you. The tiger mm its prey quickly, so that, what? So you could put that word devour in there. Now would we say the tiger devour its prey or the tiger devours its prey? That's right, devours. So the tiger devours its prey quickly so that, hmm, why might a tiger devour its prey quickly? You don't have to use that sentence scaffold, but its there to help you if you'd like to use it. Pause the video and write your own sentence now. Excellent well done. I'd now like you to write a sentence using the word inhale. You could use the word pairs to help you. For example, you might use the word pair, your food. Inhale your food. Or you could again, think about the context of the tigers and try to write a sentences about the tigers inhaling their prey. Remember to try to say your sentence out loud before you attempt to write it. And once you've written it, go back and read to check that you've got the correct punctuation and that it sounds right. Off you go! Brilliant. And finally, I would like you to have a go at writing a sentence using the word demolish. Again, you can use the word pairs to help you. And if you like, you could write a sentence about anything so for example, demolishing a bridge. But what would be really helpful, is if you tried to write a sentence about a tiger demolishing an animal or its prey. Because that way, you've got a sentence that will be ready to use in your non-chronological report. Try to be really ambitious with this final sentence as it's the last task for the lesson. Excellent, well done for working so hard. You've now got three different ways to describe eating. And I hope that these verbs are really useful in your non-chronological reports on tigers. If you would like to, you can ask a parent or carer to take photos of your sentences and then you can upload them on Twitter. And that way we can see the brilliant work that you've been doing. Well done for watching this lesson and thank you for watching this lesson. And I hope to see you all soon. Bye!
