And when we step a story, we put actions to it. Which helps us to remember the important parts. Well what will we do you in today's lesson? Well first, we'll start with our nursery rhyme. And then after that, you have to listen and join in with bits of the story again. And then, we're going to speak the story and then we'll step the story. For today's lesson, you will need, your eyes and your ears, your super memory. And if you have one, a teddy talk partner. But remember you can always use something else.

I hope you enjoyed that nursery rhyme children. First, we're going to start off by recapping our story. The Giant Turnip. See, if you can use your story map, from the last lesson. To try and follow the story and join in. Once, upon a time, there was a farmer and he lived, in a house with his wife. His son Jack and his daughter Jill. A sheep dog, and a mouse. And one day he went outside and he planted a turnip seed. And everyday. What did he do children? Everyday, tell your screens. Everyday he watered it. And then, what went down? The roots. The roots went down. The shoots came up and soon, the turnip, was a size, of a nut. And then, a tomato. And then, potato. And soon the size of a, head. But still, it got, bigger. And, and, Yes, it got bigger and bigger. And one day, the farmer's wife came out and she said, " pull that turnip out, we'll have it for our tea." So the farmer, grabbed the turnip, and he pulled, and he sang. Join in children. ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ Pulled the turnip free ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ We'll have it for a tea ♪ But what happened? That's right. Nothing. It didn't budge. And the farmer felt, confused. Can you show me your confused face? So he called. Who did he call for help? His wife. So he called his wife for help. The wife came out. She, the farmer grabbed hold at the turnip. The wife grabbed the farmer and they pulled and they sang. ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ Pulled the turnip free ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ We'll have it for a tea ♪ But the turnip, did, not, budge. So, the farmer, by this point was feeling, how was he feeling? That's right. Angry. The farmer felt angry. So his wife, called for their son, Jack and Jack came to help. And the farmer grabbed the turnip, the wife grabbed the farmer, Jack grabbed his mother and they pulled. And they sang. ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ Pulled the turnip free ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ Will have if for a tea ♪ But the turnip, did, not, budge. By this time, the farmer was feeling, How was he feeling? That's right. Fed up. All sad. So Jack, called for his sister, Jill, to come and help. And so Jill came. And the farmer grabbed the turnip. Who grabbed the farmer? The wife grabbed the farmer. Who grabbed the wife? Jack grabbed his mother. And Jill grabbed Jack and they pulled and they sang, and they sang, and they pulled. ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ Pulled the turnip free. ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ We'll have it for a tea ♪ But the turnip, did, not, budge. So who, came next? Tell your teddy talk partner, who came next. It was the sheep dog. So the sheep dog came to help, because by this time, the farmer, felt determined. He was determined. And feeling quite tired now. So the farmer grabbed the turnip. The wife grabbed the farmer, Jack grabbed his mother. Jill grabbed Jack. The sheep dog grabbed Jill. And they pulled, and they sang, and they sang, and they pulled. ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ Pulled the turnip free ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ Will have it for a tea ♪ Once again, the turnip, did, not, budge. So there was only one, more creature left to ask. And the sheep dog called the mouse for help. Because now, everybody felt determined. And the farmer wanted this turnip for his tea. So, the farmer grabbed the turnip. The wife grabbed the farmer. Jack grabbed his mom. Jill grabbed Jack. The sheep dog, grabbed Jill, and the mouse grabbed the sheep dog. And they pulled, and they sang and they sang and they pulled. ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ Pulled the turnip free ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ Will have it for a tea ♪ And that time. The turnip, popped out. Can you show me your best popped out action? And they cheered, and they jumped. because they felt so, happy. And that evening, the wife, went into the kitchen and she chopped up the turnip and she pit it into a pan, and she stirred it. And for tea, they all enjoyed, a delicious, hot steamy bowl, of turnip, stew. And after they finished eating, they sang. ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ We pulled the turnip free ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ He pulled ♪ ♪ We had it for a tea ♪ Mm... I wonder. What helps us to remember? A story. And remember the events that happened, in a story. Mm... Oh, Cedric has an idea. That's right Cedric. What a brilliant idea. Actions, help us to remember. A story, and the things that happen in our story. Oh, well done, Cedric. The next part of this lesson, we're going to be stepping the story. Now, you may have done stepping before, in earlier units. But if you haven't, don't worry. Okay. So, now we're going to step the story. And that means, putting an action to the main events that happen. And in those steps, we're going to focus on that action of the characters. So. Usually when I'm stepping a story. If I've got room, each time I go to the next step, I take a step forward. Well, because I've not got enough room, I want to stay in the same position. So if you've got room, you can step around the room. But if not, it's okay to stay in the same spot. Okay so I'm going to set the story first. And then I'll love it if you, could join in. Because you may or may not, have done stepping before. But if not, just watch. Watch closely first. Okay, and you might want to get your story mapping, in front of you now to help you. The first step in my story map is, I'm introduced to the farmer. And I'm going to show him, like this. Farmer. Then, after that, comes. Family. Now I know his family is, Jack, Jill, his wife. So I'm just doing this, to help me remember. Farmer. Family. The next one is planting. He plants a seed. Farmer. Family. Planting. And then the turnip, gets bigger, bigger, bigger. Farmer. Family, planting. Bigger, bigger, bigger. Then, we start getting to the real action. Where each character goes to pull the turnip. I'm going to say. Pull. Farmer. No. Who comes next? Pull. Wife, no. Can you have a go with the next action with me? Who is it? Jack, he pulls as well. Pull. Jack. No. Pause the video here, if you think you can do the next, three characters. If not, you can stay with me. Jill. Pull. No. Sheep dog. Pull. Nope. Mouse. Pull. Pop And then the final one, is, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop. Stew. Okay. Would you like to come, do it with me now? Farmer. House. Family. Planting. Bigger, bigger bigger. Farmer. Pull. Wife. Pull. Jack. Pull. Jill. Pull. Sheep dog. Pull. Mouse. Pull. Pop. chop, chop, chop, chop. Stir. Great work on stepping our map. If you'd like to have a go, at stepping sections, the map. With your teddy talk partner. You can pause the video now. You could even, just have to go at doing sections of it. How was that for you children? I loved, stepping the story today. Did you enjoy it Cedric? My favourite step, was when the turnip, got bigger, and bigger, and bigger. I love that action. What about your favourite step? Oh! His was when the farmer, planted the seed. Cedric liked that step. If you had a favourite step, can you tell your teddy talk partner, what your favourite step was? And can you say it in a full sentence? My favourite step was. Oh, they were some great steps. After this video is over. And before our next lesson, you might like to find a bigger space. Or go outside and step your story with parent or a carer or a friend. Or your teddy talk partner. Or, you might want to draw and label your favourite fruits and vegetables. If you'd liked to, you can get a parent or carer, to share your work Because I would love to see, all the fantastic things that you can do. Now, before we go. And before I say goodbye, I've got fruit riddle for you. And if you come to the next lesson, that's where I'll reveal the answer. Are you ready for it? My colour, is yellow and I grow up on trees. I'm a popular food, for apes and monkeys. I'll sat it once more. My colour, is yellow and I grow on trees. I'm a popular food for apes and monkeys. I'll reveal the answer, in the next lesson. Goodbye children.
