Information: All about Tigers

﻿Hello, everyone. My name is Miss Toole, and I hope you are all well. This unit, we have been looking at an information piece all about tigers. Peter and I have loved to learn our tiger song, and we would like to sing it again before we start today's learning. So I'll do it, and then you can join in at home. Are we ready? ♪ I'm a big tiger, big and strong ♪ ♪ Here's my teeth, and claws so long ♪ You go, let's go together. ♪ I'm a big tiger, big and strong ♪ ♪ Here's my teeth, and claws so long ♪ Fantastic, let's add the last bit on. ♪ When I get hunting, watch me run ♪ ♪ Here's my roar, it's so much fun ♪ Do you think you can add that bit on? Let's go together, one, two, three. ♪ When I get to hunting, watch me run ♪ ♪ Here's my roar, it's so much fun ♪ Let's put it all together, okay? 1, 2, 3... ♪ I'm a big tiger, big and strong ♪ ♪ Here's my teeth, and claws so long ♪ ♪ When I get to hunting, watch me run ♪ ♪ Here's my roar, it's so much fun ♪ I've really enjoyed singing, and doing our actions to that song. And I hope you did too, so thank you for joining in. Let's have a look what we're going to be doing today. We're going to start off with a spelling activity, focusing on our suffix... ? "est", well remembered. And the full word that we use the "est" suffix for. Then we're going to be looking at our strategy check, to see what we need to be doing when we're reading, and if we're not sure of a word, how we can check the word. Then we're going to have a go at reading some of our information piece together, and then we're going to practise retrieving information. And we'll look at that little bit later, together. So today you're going to need exercise books, so either lined paper, or plain paper is fine. And a pencil. So you can pause the video now to go and get what you need, and then press play when you're back. Now that you have your resources, we can start with our learning for today. So we're going to be looking at spellings. Now Peter was come along today to help us, because sometimes Peter can make a little bitty mistake with spelling, but it's okay, isn't it Peter? Because mistakes help us to learn. So don't worry today, if you make a mistake with spelling one of our words, because we'll go through it, and then you can check it on the screen and we can correct them together. So don't worry because Peter knows what it's like to sometimes make a mistake. So today I'm going to say one of the words, and I want you to have a go at writing it get down. You can pause the screen anytime, if you need longer to write your words down, and then I will put the correct word onto the screen and you can check if it's great, if it's right, amazing. If it's not right, don't worry. It's still amazing, and you can correct it. Mistakes are beautiful and they help us learn. Isn't that right, Peter? Peter says he's a bit nervous about having to write the words on his own, but don't worry Peter. We're all here to work together. So the first word is "greatest". Greatest. Have a listen, what sound can you hear at the beginning? Greatest. And we know our suffix at the end is our "est", and we know how to write that down now. So we're writing the word "greatest". Super, let's have a look. Greatest, guh-ruh-ah-t-est. Now, est is our "est" at the end. Greatest. Pete said he's really proud that you at home are having a go, so well done! Our next word is "tallest". Well, it's a tricky one, Peter. Tallest. Have a listen, what sounds at the beginning of tallest, and then write it down. Tallest. Tallest, we got our "est" at the end. What three letters are making that suffix? Take a look... Tallest! Look on the screen. If you've got it right, amazing. If we need to make some changes, that's still amazing because it means that we are learning. So well done. Our next word is "newest". Newest. Listen, what sound can you have at the beginning? Newest. We know what our suffix is, at the end. So what are the letters that need to go in the middle to make "newest"? You're right, Peter, they are working very hard at home. Newest, let's have a look. Newest, check on the screen, check what you have written down. If you need to make a correction that's okay! And our final word is "oldest". Oldest. Listen, what letter can you hear at the beginning? Oldest. Think about our suffix, "est". Old-est. Break it down into two parts, if you need to. Old-est. Let's have a look. Oldest, Oh-ld-est, oldest. Amazing, well done! Let's practise reading our story. So some of our strategy checks, if we get a word that we're not too sure of, these are a few things we can do. We can look at the sounds. So look at the sounds in the word. We can then make the sounds, and then blend the sounds together to read the words. Our strategy checks, again, we'll go through it. We can look at the sound, we can say the sound, and blend them back together to say the word. Okay? We are going to be looking at retrieval. So it's retrieving information from our information piece that I'm going to share with you. The middle section, where we look at some of our key facts about tigers. So when it comes around to answering our questions, we need to read the question and look for key words. Are there any words that match up with what we've read, to words in the question? And it will help us to go back and find the answer. We need to scan the text. We will already have read it, so we can quickly scan to find the answer, and then we need to find the information. So find it, focus on it, and then we can use as our answer. Okay, so there are key skills when we are retrieving information from a piece. So this is our first section of our information with tigers. This is your reading finger, and I would like you to follow on the screen as we are reading. So put your reading finger underneath the first word. So your finger should be underneath the word "Today", okay? We're going to read together. If we come to a word that we're not too sure of, we're going to use our strategy check of the look, say the sounds, blend them together, to look at other words. And when we come across a tricky word, we can use the words around just to help us. So are we ready? Today I will explain... Hmm, I'm not too sure what this next word is. It's one of our high frequency, tricky words, which we can't sound out, but just need to know. Anybody know what it is? Peter, do you know what it is? Well done, Peter. It's "what." Today I will explain what they look like, what they do... Ooh, there's that word, again. And why we need to look after our tigers. Now, tigers, I think we're going to see that word quite a bit through our information. So let's have a look at how we spell it. T-I-GERS. Tigers, we come across that word again, we'll know what it is. Firstly... Ooh, there's that tricky word again. Peter, can you help us? Super duper, can you help it? Shout at your screen, what's that word? "What!" Good, w-h-a-t: what. Firstly, what do t-t-t-t-t-tigers, well remembered, look like? Tigers are... hmm. I think I need to use our strategy check for this. Let's look at the sound. Let's say them: B-I-G. B-I-G. Blend them back together, BIG. Tigers are B-I-G, big! Well done. Tigers are big... hmm. Let's have a look. How about we use our strategy check for this word? Tigers are big KUH-A-TS KUH-A-TS. Cats! Well done! Tigers are big cats. Hmm, there's our tricky word, again. Can you remember what it is? Peter knows it, can you shout it at your screen? What! Well done. What colour is a t-t-t-t-t-tiger! Amazing. Most t-t-tigers are orange, but some are gold or white. Most tigers are striped so that they can hide in long... Ooh, what's this word? Let's use our strategy check. Look at the word, say the sound. GUH-ER-AH-SSS. GUH-ER-AH-SSS. G-R-AHSS. Grass! Well done for blending the sounds back together. So that they can hide better in long grass and... Hmm, I'm not too sure. And I can see a digraph in this word. Let's have a go at saying the sounds. WUH-AY-T. WUH-AY-T. Wait! Well done. For their prey. Amazing, let's have a look at our next bit. Secondly... There's that high frequency word, that tricky word. What is it? What do tigers do? T-t-t-tigers are... Hmm, this is quite a long word. Do you think we can use our strategy check for this word? If needs be, we can break it down into two parts. Let's do the first three letters. H-U-N, H-U-N, hun. Now, let's do the last four letters. T-ER-SS. Ooh, I can see a digraph of "er". T-ERS, HUN-TERS. Hunters! Well done. Tigers are hunters. They often sleep in the day and go hunting at night. Their SH-ARP... Can you do our strategy check as well? SH-ARP, sharp. Well done. Claws and long teeth help them catch and eat the animals they hunt. Their strong legs mean they can run very fast and catch their prey. Some t-t-t-t-t-tigers can... Ooh, I'm not too sure about this word is. Strategy check! Look at the sounds, say the sounds. SS-WUH-IM. SS-WUH-IM. Blend them back together: Swim! Well done. Some tigers can swim. When they are too hot, they like to cool off in lakes and rivers. Well done! Did you enjoy reading that? Did you use your strategy check? Myself and Peter really used our strategy check to help us. So well done, guys. Now we're going to answer some questions. You can either say the answer, or if you would prefer to, you can write it down on your paper. It is totally up to you. Let's have a look at the question. What colour are tigers? Tigers can be... hmm. Pause the video to have a think, and when you think you know the answer, you can press Play and we'll go through it together. Super, let's have a look at the answer. Tigers can be... Tigers can be orange, gold, or white. Well done. If we go back, we can quickly check our answer. Tigers can be orange, gold, or white. True or False. So we're going to read the question together, and then you can pause it to have a think. You can write the answer down, or you can say it at your screen. True or False: Tigers use their stripes to hide from their prey. So go back, have a look. What do you think? Well done, it's True! Tigers hide in the long grass using their stripes. Fantastic question. Number three. Why do you think tigers go hunting at night? Tigers hunt at night so... hmm? Have a think of your question. Pause the video if you need to, and press Play once you know your answer. Let's check our answer. Tigers hunt at night so they can hide from their prey. 'Cause remember, tigers are hunters. So they sleep in the day, and they go hunting at night. Super. Ooh, this is the multiple choice question now. So we've got four possible answers, and we have to work out which one is the correct one. So why do tigers like to swim? Is it option one: They like to drink the water. Option two: To cool them down when they are hot. Option three: To have a wash. Or option four: To look for food. What do you think is the right answer? That's right, tigers like to swim to cool them down when they are hot. Fantastic. I've really enjoyed retrieving our information from the text. So well done guys, you've worked really hard. Have you enjoyed trying to find the information in our text? After all your hard work, finding all the information in the text, I'd like to end today's session with a song. So our song is all about you guessed it, tigers. But today it's to the theme of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat." So I will say, and then you go. Are you ready? It goes: ♪ Roll, roll the tigers go ♪ You go. I go. ♪ Hunting for their prey ♪ ♪ Carefully hiding in the grass ♪ You go. ♪ Who will come their way ♪ You go. Shall we have a go at putting it all together? I'll try it, and then you try, are we ready? ♪ Roll, roll the tigers go ♪ ♪ Hunting for their prey ♪ ♪ Carefully hiding in the grass ♪ ♪ Who will come their way ♪ Amazing. One last try together, are we ready? ♪ Roll, roll the tigers go ♪ ♪ Hunting for their prey ♪ ♪ Carefully hiding in the grass ♪ ♪ Who will come their way ♪ Thank you for joining in with our song. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do. And I will see you in the next lesson for this unit. Bye guys!
