To summarise what we have read

Key Stage 1

English

Anansi and Tiger

﻿Hi everyone, Miss Fryer here for lesson five of our Nancy and Tiger Action unit. In lesson four, we learned about the conjunction and and used it to join two shorter sentences or clauses together. Today, we're going to be using our reading skills and learning how to summarise something that we've already read. I've also left you with some trivia. I asked you how big you thought a Goliath bird eater spider was? No prizes for guessing why they're called Goliath bird-eaters, what did you think? Spiders in the bath? This kind of big right? This big? How big do you think a Goliath bird-eater spider is? Well, Goliath bird-eater spiders can reach sizes of up to 30 centimetres. That's as long, you see the 30 on here, that's as long as this ruler. That is a real big spider. No wonder they eat birds, wow. Lots to get through today, we're going to start off with a tongue twister before starting a spelling activity. Then we'll check our reading strategies to make sure we're ready to read together and then practise our summarising skills. In this lesson, you will need an exercise book or paper, a pencil and your brain, so pause the video now if you need to get any of those things. Let's start with our tongue twister. Today's tongue twister is about bees. It goes like this, the fuzzy bumble bees buzz busily in their bustling beehive. I'll say it again. The fuzzy bumble bees buzzed busily in their bustling beehive. When you listen to me read that can you hear any sounds that are repeated over and over again? The fuzzy bumble bees buzz busily in their bustling beehive? What makes it so tricky to say? What's the sound that's repeated? Did you spot it? Can you see all those /b/ sounds? They are at the start of six of the words, which makes it difficult to get our tongue around it. We've also got the /z/ and /s/ sound in lots of the words. So we've got a /z/ and a /s/ in a lot of the words that makes it difficult to say. Can you say it for me now? How about trying the fuzzy bumble bees buzz busily in their bustling beehive? Are you ready to try? Do it with me, off we go. The fuzzy bumble bees buzz busily in their bustling bee hive. Let's try it again. The fuzzy bumblebees buzz busily in their bustling beehive. Last time, the fuzzy bumble bees buzzed busily in their bustling bee hive. Very good if you managed to get your tongue around all of these /b/ and /z/ and /s/ sounds, very good job. Now it's time for us to do some spelling. In lesson one and lesson three, we had a look at compound words. They are words where you have two smaller words that you put together into one big word. Words like rain and bow, that go together to make rainbow. I have a grid here of 16 words and I'm going to give you a writing challenge today. So pause the video if you haven't got a paper and pencil ready. Okay, I trust you are ready to go with your pencil and paper. Let's read the words in my grid. Let's start at the top with the word hair. Are you ready? Hair, flower, bath, dinner. Next row, bed, foot, time, bird. Third row, game, table, clip, show and the bottom row, son, room, ball, pot. Now there are loads and loads of compound words that you can make out of this grid. What I'd like you to do is to pause the video and write down as many different compound words as you can, that you can see in just using the words on your screen right now. I bet you can spot some already. See if you can do two words, maybe even five words. I'll be really impressed if you can do 10 words. Have a go, pause the video now. Look at all of these compound words that you could have found. I'm going to read them out to you, if you've got them, you can give yourself a big tick. Maybe we even found some ones that I didn't find. Here is the ones that I found. Hairclip, hairball, flowerpot, flowershow, bathroom, dinnertable, dinnertime, bedroom, bedtime, football, timetable, birdbath, birdtable, gameroom, gameshow, gametable, showtime, showroom, sunflower, sunroom, ballgame, ballroom, clipshow. That's all the compound words I found, well done if you found some of those Words, Time to check our reading strategies before we read our text for today. Whenever we come to a word that we don't know, we always do the same thing first. We look at the letters, make the sounds and blend the sounds together, what do we do? We look at the letters, make the sound and blend the sounds together. But sometimes that won't work 'cause we might not know a sound, we might not have learned the sound yet or it might be a tricky sight word that we just have to remember. So there are other strategies that we can use to help us if our normal reading strategy won't work. What we can do, if we don't know a word, we can read the rest of the sentence and come back to it. What can we do? We can read the rest of the sentence and come back to it. We can also look for little words inside big words. What can we do? Look for little words inside big words. We can also break a word up into chunks. What can we do? We can break a word up into chunks. That's really going to help us to bit like our compound word, isn't it? We could break up the word rainbow into chunks, word rain, word bow, that's also little words in big words. So these reading strategies, they can be really helpful. The key skill we're focusing on today is summary. Summary is a short recap of all of the key points in something we've just read, with no detail or extra information. In a summary, we should be using as few words as possible to get all of those main points across. A good way of doing summary is to use our question words, which we've already explored in our role-play. In a summary, we should talk about who is there in the scene or in the piece of text? Where are we? Is the setting important? When is this happening? That might be a point in time or it might be when in a series of events, is it happening before or after something else important? What is happening? That's our action and is what we're really focusing on in this unit. Why is it happening? What's the reason? and how it is happening? What's actually going on and how did it start and how does it finish? To give you an example, here's a summary of a story that you might know, I wonder if you can guess what it is. The who in this story are three pigs under wolf, the where is the pig's houses. Now, the when is not important in this story, because it could happen any time and it's not really relevant to the summary or to the ending. What happens in the story? Well, some pigs build some houses to make themselves safe. Why? Because a wolf is hungry. And how do they do that? Well, the wolf tries to blow down the pig's houses. That's how he tries to make the action happen. What story am I talking about? The "Three Little Pigs" of course. I can summarise the story, the whole thing of the three little pigs in just 20 words. I've written it in the box underneath my screen. It says, three pigs build houses to try and be safe from a hungry wolf, who is trying to blow them down. 20 words, the whole story that's why summary is really important. When we're doing our stepping, we're sort of doing a summary then because we're taking a whole section of a story and boiling it down to one action and one word. So if you get stuck with summary, try your stepping, and that might help you out. Okay, it's time for us to read. If you've printed the downloadable reading extract, it's time to get it now. Pause the video so that you can go and get it. If not, don't worry you can read along on the screen, just like I'm going to. We have some key words and some tricky words to look out for today. And I'm going to tell them to you now so that you can spot them in the text. Our key words are the important words in the story, but there are very tricky to sound out. Our first key word is the most important word in the whole story, it's the key word, Anansi. We need to know how to read Anansi if we're going to read Anansi and Tiger, aren't we? The next word is the word squabble. You might remember me using the word squabble, Anansi asks the bees if they squabble all the time, doesn't he? That's going to be an important word so put it into your head to that you spot in the text. And there's also the word, organise, organise, that's a tricky word as well, isn't it? Look at the letters and see if you can spot it in the text when we read it. I also have four tricky words for you today. They are words that we want to spot with our tricky word spotting glasses. We've got the words, was, she, all and you. Can you read them for me? Was, she, all and you. If you spot any of those tricky words in the text, put on your tricky word spotting glasses so that I know that you have spotted it. Are you ready? It's about time for us to read then. Okay, reading fingers underneath your word either on your paper or on your screen. Our first word is the word that key word Anansi. Anansi crept and crawled, sneaked and slinked through every dark, whoo, help me with this word, C-O-R-N-E-R, corner good job, until he reached the beehive. He heard it before he saw it. The hive, did you spot a tricky word? I just did, I spotted the tricky word, was, the hive was buzzing with, Whoo this is a very tricky word help me sound it out, A-C-T-I-V-I-T-Y and on the end a happy ey, sound A-C-T-I-V-I-T-Y, activity was buzzing with activity, every bee in its proper place. There's that key word again, Anansi approached unseen and called out in his sing-song voice. What does he say? Do your Anansi voice? Oh, bees! In response, a single whoo, help me I-N-S-E-C-T, insect emerged from the hive. I can see a tricky word, it's the tricky word she, she dwarfed the other bees that means she was much, much bigger a tiny crown of honeycomb helped me read P-ER-CH and an 'ed' for D P-E-R-C-H-E-D perched. That means it kinds sat atop her fuzzy head. There it is again that sight word. She glared at keyword Anansi for interrupting her work. Keyword again Anansi, in return Help me sound this one out. F-L-A-SH and then 'ed' for D flashed. flashed her and an enormous smile. Is it true. I wonder if you can do your Anansi face and stroke your chin like he does. Let's read it again. Is it true, Asked clever key word. Anansi that you there's a sight word you Good job if you spotted that one. that you bees do you remember the key word? Squabble. Is it true that you bees squabble. I've spotted a sight word all the time. Is it true? asked clever Anansi that you bees squabble all the time? Really good reading everyone. So let's have a think about our summary then. Who is there in this bit that we've just read? Where are we? When is it happening? What is happening? Why is it happening? And how is it happening? Well then think can you summarise that part of the text that we have just read? Let's have a look. So we're looking first for who? Who is in this part of the text? Oh, there's our clues. Anansi is in this part. He's very important, isn't he? He's our main character, and it doesn't say a name of the other character. We know it's a single insect wearing a tiny crown. Who is that? It's the queen bee. Well done. The queen bee. So Anasi and the queen bee. They're the who? How about the where? Where is this happening? From your screen? There it is. It's happening at the beehive that's the place where this happens. Now the when does it say in this text when it's happening? No, not really. It's not very important in this text when it's happening. We know because we know the story, but it's happening after he talks to tiger and before Python, but doesn't say that in the text. We just know that already. So let's move straight on to what what is happening in this bit of text. What's the action that the characters are taking? Let's have a look. There it is. What Anansi is doing is he has called out called is the verb the doing word in. That's the most important part of this bit of the text. He's called out in his singsong voice. That's the what Why? Does it say why he called out? We know don't we? We know that he's doing all this because he wants to trick the queen bee. But it doesn't say that in the text. We just know that already. So let's go straight on to the how. How does he try to trick the queen? How does he try to trick the queen bee? He tries with this sentence, doesn't he, that Is it true that you bees squabble all the time? So he asked her a sneaky question to try and trick her. Okay, here is a summary that we have written with our couple of notes. Who announcing queen bee where beehive when after talking to tiger, we know that already from our knowledge of the story. What Anansi calls to the bees. Why? Because he wants to trick her. We know that already for our knowledge of the story, and how he asked if the bees squabble, so I wonder if you can put those words into a sentence. When we summarise, we want to try and get things out a few words as possible. One sentence if we can Have a try. Pause the video if you need to. How about this? Anansi goes to the beehive he asks the queen bee if bees squabble so he can trick her. That's 18 words. 18 words. I got rid of all the detail, everything about the faces Anasi pulls, all the details about how the bee moves. That's all gone. In a summary. I just want the key points the important information. Let's have a look at another better text. Reading fingers ready. Underneath my first word The The Queen looked visibly offended. She looked cross and thinks that he is as being rude or unkind to her. No. There's that sight word again. She. No, she replied. Oh, sound this one out for me. C-UR-T-L-Y curtly. Do you know what curtly means? Curtly means kind of in a short cross way. No, she replied. Curtly. We work as a team. There's that sight word again. She looked proudly back at her hive and keyword. Anansi knew immediately that his sneaky plan would work. Prove it. Crooned their croons like sang sound this word out for me T-R-I-CK-S-T-ER trickster. That's what Anansi is, isn't it? He is a trickster. Show me how you sight word, sight word you show me how you can keyword organise your bees to get into this barrel. The Queen oop! Before I move on, sight word. All. Well done if you've spotted that. You were probably quicker than me then. The Queen Bee sound out. S-N-E-ER and 'ed' makes D. SN-EER-ED sneered. That's making a cross face like the queen bee sneered making a bad face at him and whispered a message to an orderly like a servant. In no time at all. Sight word. Sound this word out for me. H-U-N-D-R-E-D-S Hundreds, hundreds of bees were flying in a perfect line into key word Anansi's barrel. Inside, they arrange themselves in neat rows. Once the very last worker sight word was in, the Queen herself. Granted key word Anansi a victorious smile. She thinks she's won. She's beaten him. She's victorious before flying in herself. Her smile. What happened to it? V-A-N-I-SH-ED vanished, that 'ed' makes D vanished, vanished as Anansi key word quickly help me. S-L-A-M 'ed makes D SL-A-M-ED slammed down the lid of the barrel. Now its your turn to do some summary. I'd like you to pause the video to complete your task. Have a go at summarising the passage we just read. Use your question words to help you remember who, where, when, what, why, and how. You can skip backwards in the video to look back at the text if you need to. Pause the video while you summarise and resume once you finished. Let's have a look. These are the things that I discovered while you were paused. So the who it's still Anansi and the queen bee. The where is still a bee hive. The when is still after talking to tiger, we know that already. Now what happens in this in this bit of text is different to the first one in this one. Anansi captures the bees that is what happens. And he does it for the same reason because he wants the stories Now how does he capture them? He convinces the bees to fly into the barrel. I wonder if you've got the same answers to your questions as me. So can we put this into a summary then into one or two sentences that say all the key points? I've had a go. I wonder if yours is similar to mine. I summarised it in 12 words, Anansi captures the bees by convincing them to fly into a barrel. The last thing we're going to do today before we stop learning is our tongue twister again. I wonder if we can do it a few times through to really get our tongues all twisted up. Remember it goes the fuzzy bumble bees buzzed busily in their bustling bee hive. Can you say it for me? The fuzzy bumble bees buzz busily in their bustling bee hive. Let's see if we can do it. Three times. Are you ready for the challenge? Let's try it. I'll put my finger that's you can see how many times you've done it already. Let's try it. Last time. The fuzzy bumblebees buzz busily in their bustling beehive. Again. The fuzzy bumble bees buzz busily in their bustling bee hive more time. One more time. The fuzzy bumblebees buzz busily in their bustling beehive. Whoo. My tongue feels like it's tied in knots. I don't know about yours. Good job if you managed to do all three times. Just like usual, you can share your work with oak national be great to see your role playing, your story maps, maybe even your stepping. If you'd like to, please ask your parent or carer to share your work on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, tagging @OakNationa; and #LearnWithOak and that is it for today. I hope you love reading as much as I do. In lesson six, we are going to be boxing up our story of Anansi and Tiger. So look out for that one. ♪Spider facts time.♪ Spider facts right my spider fact today is about Diving Bell's spiders. Now, Diving Bell spiders are very unusual types of spiders, because they spend a lot of their time underwater. They create an oxygen bubble around themselves that acts a bit like the gills of a fish, and they get the oxygen from the water around them. With this being said, How long do you think a Diving Bell spider can stay underwater? How long can you stay underwater? Maybe 10 seconds. 20 seconds 30 seconds. How long do you think a Diving Bell spider can stay underneath the water? Have a sensible guess and I will tell you at the start of lesson six. Bye.
