Video: To add 's' to make nouns plural

﻿Hi, everyone. My name is Miss Toole. I like to play around with words to create stories. But before we start today, I want to do a tongue twister. Which is where we put some words together. And it makes it a little bit more difficult because we've got to try and really pronunciate our words to get them out. So you are ready? It is, If a dog choose shoes, which shoes does he choose? Just say again. If a dog choose shoes, which shoes does he choose? Have a go at home are you ready, let's do it together. One. Two. Three. If a dog choose shoes, which shoes does he choose? Got to get that 'sh' and the 'ch' on that one. Last time, and then you've got see if you can speed you up and say it faster. So we'll do it slow for the next. Are you ready? If a dog choose shoes, which shoes does he choose? Well, let's see if we can do it faster. I don't think I'll be able to do it. Are we ready? One. Two. Three. If a dog choose shoes, which shoes does he choose? Aah, I did it. Did you do it? Let's give ourselves a firework hurray as it goes where it goes. Hurray. Can you have a go home? Are you ready? In one two three. Hurray. Well done.Now, before we start today's lesson, I want to recap our information map all about tigers, which we've been looking at in each of the lessons in this unit. Can you remember it? So let's have a go, and starting from the beginning and working our way through. We can do our actions to help us if we need to. Okay. One. Two. Three. Introduction. Hi everyone, my name is Dr.Natasha I know all about cats. I know about big cats. I know about small cats. And I know about medium size cats, but today I'm going to tell you about the biggest cat of all. Am going to tell you about the tiger. Identification. What do tigers look like? Tigers are really long. And they can be up to three metres long, including their tail. What colour are tigers? They are orange, gold and white. The white ones are usually found in the zoo. Tigers have stripes to help them hide in the long grass from their prey. Habitat and diet. Tigers are hunters. They sleep in the day, and they hunt at night. Their sharp claws and their long teeth help them to catch and eat their prey. Their strong legs means they can run really fast, which makes it easy when catching. Most tigers love to swim in the lakes. Especially on a hot day when they need to cool off. Conservation. How can we help tigers? There are only 4,000 tigers left, in the whole wide world. That's because some people kill tigers for their skin. And if this carries on, there'll be no tigers left in the world. Some countries have special places called nature reserves, which keeps the tiger safe from the hunters. Ending. What can we do to keep the tiger safe? First, don't buy anything that encourages people to kill for the tiger skins. And secondly, we can help charities like the World Wildlife Fund to keep them in nature reserves going, where their hides are safe. That's it. That's my information on tigers and I hope you, can be a ,friend of the tiger like me. Did you remember all information. Well, done. Let's do one more firework hurray. Ready? Hurray. Fantastic. Let's have a look at what we're doing today. So we're going to be looking at what is a noun. And then adding an S to a noun, to make it from a singular to a plural. So we are going to have a bit of a grammar lesson today. So what is a noun? And then making it from a singular to a plural, making that change. So today you going to need, exercise book or paper, a pencil and your fabulous brain. Which I'm sure you've already brought. So pause the video now and go to get your resources. And when you've got them, you can press play, and we can start with today's learning. What is a noun? A noun is the name of a person, a place or an object. So you can try and name it out for me. A noun is the name of a person, place or object. Again. A noun is the name of a person, a place or an object. One last time. A noun is the name of a person, a place or an object. Amazing. So, I have a sentence on the board. And the sentence says, the tiger was fierce. Have a look at this sentence on the board. And I want you to point at the word that you think is the noun. Now remember, what's a noun. A noun is the name of a person, a place or an object. What do you think it could be? Well done. The noun was tiger. Because tiger is the name of an animal. Fantastic. Let's have a look at our next one. Tigers live in the jungle and hunt in the grass. Now I will give you a clue. There is more than one noun in this sentence. So point at the screen to find the different nouns. So we've got, tigers live in the jungle and hunt in the grass. Now remember, a noun is the name of a person, a place or an object. So have a look. Can you find the nouns? We've got three. We've got tigers, jungle and grass. Tiger is the name of the animal. Jungle is the place, name of a place and grass is the name of an object. Fantastic. Well, done. Now we're going to be exploring, singular to plural. Hmm. What do the words singular and plural mean? Singular is one and plural is two. So hands on your shoulders. Singular is one and plural is two. Let's go again. Singular is one, plural is two. Amazing. One more time. Singular is one and plural is two. Let's have a look, at our next slide. I've got four words. I've got tiger. Claws. Tree and hunters. Some of them are singular and some of them are plural. Am going to say the words again and I want you to shout whatever I say. Singular or plural. Can you shout at your screen. Remember, singular is one. So there's only one of them. And plural means there's more than one. Okay. So singular is one and pleural means there's more than one. So our first word is tiger. Hmm. Tiger. Is that telling me that there's one or is telling me that there's more than one? Singular or plural? Singular. Well done. That tiger is only one. If we had tigers with a S on the end, it would show that there is plural, there is more than one. Amazing. Next one. We've got claws. Claws. Is that telling me there's one claw or two claws? One claw or more than one claw? Claws. Plural, well done. It's telling me there are, claws There are lots of claws. Next word is tree. Is that singular for one tree, or more than one tree? Tree. Singular or plural? Shout at your screen. Let's check. It's singular. Fantastic. There's just one tree. If we had more than one tree, it would be trees and we'd have the S on the end. That gives us a little bit of a clue. And the last one is hunters. Hunters. Is that one hunter for singular, or more than one hunters? Shout at your screen. Let's check. It's plural.Well done. It means there's more than one hunter. Let's give ourselves a firework hurray. Ready. Hurray. Fantastic. Now you're going to have a go at doing your task on your own so this is when you need your paper and your pen. So we've learnt together about singular and plural. And singular, is one. And plural is more than one and when we're making more than one, we need to add an S on to the end of the noun. What is a noun? It's the name of a person, a place or an object. So I'm going to put some nouns onto the screen. All I want you to do, is write down on your piece of paper, the plural. So, I'm showing you a singular noun. And I want you to write down the plural. So for example, if I was to show you the word leg, you would write the word legs, and you put the S on the end to show it was plural. Okay, let's have a look. I've got, stripe. So that's just one stripe,singular. Now I want you to do more than one stripe. Have a go in writing that down. Stripe. For more than one, what would it be? If you need to pause the screen, to take longer to write, that's okay. You can pause it. And when you've wrote your word down, you can then carry on. So write your word down and then when you've done you can press play to carry on. Next, noun is a cat. So, singular, cat, if I had more than one cat, what would it be? Remember that letter we added on to the end to make it more than one. Our next noun is, friend. So, singular is friend. If I had more than one friend, what would my word be? Remember you can pause the video while you write the word down. And when you've got it down on your piece of paper, you can press play again. so don't feel like you need to rush in this. Take your time with your writing. Singular, river. There is only one river. If there was more than one river, what would it be? What would our plural be, for more than one river. Have a look. The answers are on the board now. We have stripe , singular, of stripes, plural. And you can see we've got the S on the end. We had cat, which was singular, and cats, for plural, more than one cat. We had friend, for singular, and friends, its got that S on the end to show it's plural and we have river, for singular, and on the board now we can see rivers to show that it's plural. There's more than one river. Have a look and give yourself a firework hurray for having a go. Are you ready? Hurray. Great work today. Well, done. Before we finish, I want to see, can you remember our chant for remembering what a noun is. A noun is the name of a person, a place, or an object. If you remember that one whenever you're doing any writing and somebody says, 'Oh, where's the noun?' You can remember it's the name of a person, a place or an object, and it will help you out a lot. To finish. We're going to do a poem that starts with a noun. Every line has a noun at the beginning and we've got claws, paws, teeth, and tigers. Some are plural and some are singular. See if you can guess, which ones are plural and which ones are singular as I am doing it, so are you ready? It goes, Claws like to scratch. Paws like to run. Teeth like to bite. Tigers like to be in the sun. Are you ready, again, Claws like to scratch. Paws like to run. Teeth like to bite And tigers like to be in the sun. Let's do it, one more time, together. Are we ready? Claws like to scratch. Paws like to run. Teeth like to bite, And tigers like to be in the sun. Fantastic. Well done. Did you look and listen to our plural and singular, we had claws, paws and tigers as our plural more than one and we had teeth which is more than one, but it doesn't have a S, that's a different type of plural. Well, done. Next lesson, we are going to be exploring our text to find key information. We're going to be reading lots of it, and finding some key information to answer questions. Well, done today. I think we've all worked really hard. How do you think you've worked today? Keep up the good work, and I'll see you in the next lesson.
