Honey and Trouble: character

﻿Hi everyone and welcome to our lesson for today. I am Ms. Fryer and today I am going to be your teacher and your storyteller. And I'm hoping that you'll join me in being storytellers too. So make sure that you are somewhere comfy and ready to learn and let's get started. So we're going to start off with a quick get to know me game followed by a spelling activity then it will be story time. And then we're going to plot matrix the story. And if you're not sure what that is than don't worry because we're going to go through it when we get to it. So for this video you're going to need an exercise book or paper, a pencil, and your brain. So if you don't have any of those things, it's about time you went to go and get them. Pause the video now if you need to go get any of those things, don't worry I'll wait for you. Have you got them? Great lets get started. So like I said we're going to start off with a game, now my game today is called "Two Truths and a lie". Can you guess the lie? I'm going to read you three sentences, two of them are true things about me, one of them is a sneaky little lie. I wonder if you can guess which one it is, here we go. I have a pet tortoise called Matilda. Hmm. I have over 1,000 Pokémon cards. Hmm. My favourite colour is pink. Can you guess the lie? Shall I tell you? Here we go. I do you have a pet tortoise called Matilda, that is true! And I do have over 1,000 Pokémon cards! Which means, my lie is about my favourite colour. It's not pink, it's yellow! And just to prove I'm not lying, there's Matilda and there are my Pokémon cards. Now it's time for our spelling activity.

Here are some letters on my screen. Today we are going to look at the spelling pattern T-C-H. Lets see if we can point to those letters. Point to the letter T. There it is! Point to the letter C. There it is! And lastly the letter H. Fantastic! Now some words have the letters T-C-H in them and it sounds like "tch" the same as our C-H digraph, so it can be a bit tricky to know which one to use. Now we normally use T-C-H after a short vowel sound that's on its own. That's are "ah" "eh" "ih" "or" and "uh" sounds on their own. So lets say some words. I'm going to say some words, I'd like you to say them after me, so here we go. Fetch. Fetch. Match. Pitch. Can you here that short "eh" in fetch? That short "ah" in m-ah-tch, match? And the "ih" in pitch? They are on their own in the words so they need that T-C-H. Now we're going to look at some other words. These words have digraphs in them so they only need C-H. Lets have a look. I'll say then you say. Church. Torch. March. They only have that C-H because the vowel in the word has got its digraph partner. We've got our U-R "ur" digraph, our O-R "or" digraph, and our A-R "ar" digraph. Now we are going to play a game, so I've got here my T-C-H and C-H patterns on my screen. Id like you to point to point to the right letters when I say the word. Are you ready? My first word is the word match. Point to T-C-H or C-H, have you got it? Shall we see? It's T-C-H! Match has got that short "ah" sound in it so it's a T-C-H. Okay next one, pitch. Are you pointing? That's T-C-H as well, its got that short "ih" sound in it. Now lets try another one. How about church? Pointing, make sure you're pointing, which one is it? It's C-H! Its got that "ur" digraph in it so we only need C-H. Lets try march. That's a C-H as well, that "ar" digraph in march only needs C-H. How about fetch? Are you pointing, cause I'll know! T-C-H, that short "eh" sound is in fetch. And last of all torch. Last one to point at, make sure your fingers are pointing, it's a C-H because of our "or" digraph in torch. Here are all those words we looked at today: fetch, match, pitch, church, torch, and march. Pause the video now to write these words down so that you can learn their spellings. We're going to be doing more on these spellings later on in the unit. Now it's story time and I'm going to tell you a story cause that's what storytellers do and I'm hoping that soon you'll be a storyteller too. Now, have you ever heard a grown up say that someone is looking for trouble? Well, the main character in today's story actually does go looking for trouble! Hmm. My main character is an animal, I wonder if you can guess what kind of animal is in my story. I'll give you some clues. My animal is a mammal covered in fur. My animal mostly lives in trees. And, my animal is found all over the world but mostly in the tropical rainforests of the world. What do you think do you think? You think you might know what my animal is? My animal is a monkey! And he really gets himself into trouble. You might think that monkeys like bananas but our monkey like something completely different and it gets him into all kinds of trouble. Now before I tell you the story, I'm going to show you a song that's in the story so that when we get to it you, can join in with me. It's a nice easy song and it's right near the start so you won't have to wait for very long. Its got a couple of little actions. We have our going to market action. Can you go to market with me? We have our sell action. And our honey action. And that's it! The song goes like this: ♪ I am going to market to market to market ♪ ♪ I am going to market to sell my honey ♪ How about I sing a line and then you sing a line back to me? I'll join in with you as well so that you don't get lost. It goes like this, I'll sing, then you sing. ♪ I am going to market to market to market ♪ Your turn! ♪ I am going to market to market to market ♪ Did you get that? The next bit goes: ♪ I am going to market to sell my honey ♪ You try! ♪ I am going to market to sell my honey ♪ Do you think we can do it all together? I think we can. Join in with the actions and look at me in case you get lost. Goes like this, ready? One, two, three, go! ♪ I am going to market to market to market ♪ ♪ I am going to market to sell my honey ♪ Brilliant job! Now when we get to that part in the story I hope you'll join in with me. ♪ Story time it's story time ♪ Look, listen, wow! Once there was a woman who kept bees and made honey. One day she was walking through the forest singing to herself happily with a pot of honey on her head. We know what she was singing, don't we? Shall we sing it along with her? Ready for our song? ♪ I am going to market to market to market ♪ ♪ I am going to market to sell my honey ♪ She was so happy singing along and looking at the sky that she didn't notice, there on the ground in front of her, a stone! She tripped over! Crashing into the ground and splattering her honey pot and smashing it into 100 pieces. "Why do you give me so much trouble!" Mutters the woman, shaking her head and stomping off back towards her house. In a near by tree a monkey was watching all of this happen. He saw the sticky sweet liquid on the floor and came down to investigate. He dipped his finger into the liquid and put it in his mouth. "Oh, I like this!" Said the monkey. "It's so sweet! This must be trouble." "I like trouble. It's my new favourite thing!" "I should go and find out if I can find some more trouble." "I know, I'll go and ask Brother Elephant." So the monkey went off to find Brother Elephant who was gently grazing on grasses in the forest. "Brother Elephant!" Said the monkey. "My new favourite thing in the whole world is trouble!" "I really like trouble and I wondered if you had any that you could give me." "Are you sure?" Said Brother Elephant. "Oh yes, I'm certain!" Said the monkey. "Well okay." Said Brother Elephant. "If that's what you really want." And he got his long swooshy trunk, and whipped Monkey across the bottom! "Ow!" Said Monkey. "That really hurt!" "I wonder why Brother Elephant did that." "I'll go and ask Sister Tiger." So the monkey went off to find Sister Tiger. "Sister Tiger!" Said the monkey. "My new favourite thing in the whole world is trouble!" "I really like trouble and I wondered if there is any that you could give me." "Are you sure?" Said Sister Tiger. "Oh yes, I'm certain!" Said the monkey. "Well okay." Said Sister Tiger. "If that's what you really want." And she picked up her big paw and swiped the monkey across his nose! "Ow!" Said the monkey. "That really hurt!" "I wonder why Sister Tiger did that." "I'm going to go and ask Brother Buffalo." Brother Buffalo was gently resting next to the river. "Brother Buffalo!" Said the monkey. "My new favourite thing in the whole world is trouble!" "I really like trouble and I wondered if there was anything, that, any trouble that you could give me." "Are you sure?" Said Brother Buffalo. "Oh yes, I'm certain!" Said the monkey. "Well okay. If that's what you really want." Said Brother Buffalo. And he put down his head and he swiped with his big long sharp horns and poked the monkey in the tummy! "Ow!" Said the monkey. "That really hurt! I wonder why Brother Buffalo did that. I'm going to go and ask the wise woman of the forest." Monkey walked all through the forest until he found the woman's hut and knocked on the door. "Oh wise woman of the forest!" He said. "My new favourite thing in the world is trouble." "I really like trouble and I was wondering if you had any that you could give me." The wise woman of the forest looked up from the big book that she was reading next to her fire. "Are you sure?" Said the wise woman. "Oh yes, I am certain!" Said the monkey. "Well." Said the wise woman of the forest. "If you're sure, than I have some trouble I can give you." "Oh yippie!" Said the monkey. "Here is some trouble in this black bag." Said the woman. And she handed him a huge black bag. "Take it to the edge of the forest where no trees grow, open it, and you will find it's full of trouble." "Oh, thank you wise woman of the forest!" Said the monkey. And he picked up the bag and wondered off to the edge of the forest. Once he'd followed her instruction and gone as far as he could until he could see no more trees he opened up the bag. It doesn't smell like trouble, he thought. And he looked in. Out of the bag, three giant black dogs leaped out at Monkey and chased him all around the edge of the forest area. Monkey was so terrified! He ran off towards the edge of the forest again looking for a safe tree that he could hide in. As soon as he got one, to one, he climbed up and waited there terrified until all the dogs had gone away. Once they'd all gone he climbed down and sadly walked back home. When he got there his mum asked him what his problem was. "Oh, Mum!" He said. "I just wanted to find some trouble and I kept running into all of these problems!" And he told her the story of everything that'd happened that day. "Oh you poor thing!" Said his mother. "That's not trouble you want." And she went off to the cupboards and she opened it up, got down a large jar and put it in front of Monkey." Thrilled, Monkey got his finger, dipped it in to the sticky sweet liquid. "Oh!" Said Monkey. "That's honey." Said his mum. "Not trouble!" I hope you liked listening to that story. I liked telling it. What was your favourite part of the story? My favourite part of the story was when the monkey spoke to all the different animals and asked them for different trouble. What was your favourite part of the story? When you tell me, can you tell me in a full sentence using the sentence starter "My favourite part was". My favourite part was- Are you telling your screen? Mm hmm. Very interesting. So now, we are going to check our understanding of the story. And we do that using a plot matrix. Here is a plot matrix. You can see we have got six boxes in a grid. In a big rectangle. One of the boxes says where, one says who, next one says problem, then we have solution, ending, and learning. Now, you're going to need your pen and paper for this part. And I'd like you to please draw, or get a grown up to help you draw, your six boxes. They don't have to be super straight lines or very neat, as long as you've got enough room to draw in the boxes. Pause the video now and come back when you have drawn six boxes for your plot matrix. I'll wait for you. Have you drawn your plot matrix? Amazing. We're going to start off with our first box. Our first box tells us where. Where is our story set? Where does our story happen and take place? Is it set on a beach, is it set in a town, or is it set in the forest? What do you think? It's set of course, in the forest. Amazing! Our story "Honey and Trouble" is set in a forest. Pause the video now so that you can draw a lovely forest in your first box. You can even use your phonetics to sound out the word forest. F-O-R-ES-T forest. Try that now, pause the video. Our next box is our who box. Our who box. Who is our story about? Is our story about a boy, is our story about a little girl, is our story about a dog, or is our story about a monkey? Our story is about a monkey! So you can draw your very best monkey picture. It doesn't have to be a big piece of artwork, just a simple drawing of a monkey. And write in the word monkey as well if you can use your phonetics or your letters and spell monkey. Pause the video now so that you can draw who the story is about. Okay next we have the problem. I feel like this story is full of problems! What is the main problem that Monkey has in this story? Is he lost? Does he need to find his mum? Has he hurt himself? He has hurt himself but that's because he has no trouble! Actually no honey, but he thinks it's trouble. He can't find any and he wants the trouble. That's the problem in this story. So I've drawn a big pot of honey, that he thinks is trouble, and written the words no trouble on my picture. Pause the video now so that you can put the problem in the story into your plot matrix. Solution. What does the monkey do to solve his problem? What does he do to make it better? Does he go to his mummy for a hug? Does he ask someone for help? Does he go looking? He solves his problem by asking his friends. So I've written the word ask here and drawn a speech bubble to show that he's talking to his friends. And drawn a little picture of the elephant, the tiger, the bull, and the lady, but your picture can be much simpler than mine. You could have just done the speech bubble. Pause the video now so that you can draw the solution that the monkey tries to solve his problem. And what happens in the end of the story? Is the ending happy, or sad? What happens in the end of the story? Well, in the end of the story, his mum helps doesn't she? She gets the honey down from the cupboard and he finally gets his trouble that he, that we know now, is honey. Pause the video so that you can put in your story's ending. And finally, learning. I think learning is the trickiest box that we talk about. What is the story trying to teach us? What do we learn from this story? Maybe you think we learn not to be silly, not to be so foolish like the monkey. Maybe the learning is about not keeping asking for things because it might get you into trouble. Maybe you think the learning is to make sure that you stay in school, because the monkey didn't know the word did he? And if your in school, then you will learn the right words for things so that you don't have problems. So you can draw in here, what you think is the learning in this story. I've said that we shouldn't be silly. I've put a cross through my silly face. And make sure that we learn our words so that we don't have any problems. Pause the video now so that you can draw what you think is the learning in "Honey and Trouble". And that's it! You should have a full up plot matrix there to help you. And we're gong to be using that in some of the other lessons that we have got in this unit so keep it somewhere safe! If you would like to share your work with Oak National, if you'd like to, please ask your parent or carer to share your work on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, by tagging @OakNational and #LearnwithOak. I am going to remind you about that later on in the week but any of your work this week can be uploaded in this way. And that's it for today! In the next lesson I'm going to be showing you how you can become the storyteller yourself. Why not show your plot matrix to somebody at home or even one of your teddies. I hope you can join me for the next lesson and I'm going to leave you today with a bit of trivia. That is a quiz question. It's monkey trivia today. My question is, how many different kinds of monkey do you think there are in the world? How many different kinds of monkey do you think there are in the world? Maybe you can have a sensible guess and I'll tell you the right answer at the start of next lesson. So until then, bye!
