﻿Hello. My name is Mr. Santhanam, and welcome to lesson six of 10 from our Awongalema unit. Oh! This is Gary, the chameleon. Say hi Gary, the chameleon. Gary likes to come and help me teach my lessons sometimes. He loves talking about other animals. Look, he's saying hello. Gary, do you have a favourite animal? Oh! Can you guess what Gary's favourite animal is? Go on. Shout out the screen. What do you think it is? Is it a tiger? Is it a giraffe? Is it a shark? Well, what is it, Gary? Tell me. What's your favourite animal? Ooh! He says that his favourite animal is a leopard. Ah! Do you know what noise a leopard makes? Go on. Make it now. That's right. It goes. So Gary, what are we going to be doing today in our lesson? Oh! Are you sure? Awongalema? Wow! That makes me very excited. Gary says, in today's lesson, we're going to be boxing up for purpose. Boxing up for purpose really helps us to understand the different sections of our story, and it's also going to help us with our vivid description that we are going to include in our stories. Are you any good at describing things in stories, Gary? Oh, he says that he loves using adjectives, adverbs, powerful verbs, to describe characters and settings in stories. So I can't wait to get started with our vivid description today. Should we get started, Gary? Okay. In today's lesson, you are going to need some paper, a pencil, and, your brilliant brain. Gary, have you got your brain today? Fantastic. Pause your video while you go and get those things. Amazing. Let's begin. So, in our lesson today, we are going to start off with our Spelling Activity. We're then going to, have some Recycled Story Time. We're then going to Box up for Purpose. And then finally, you will get a chance to do your own boxing up, independently. Let's get started. First of all, let's do our spelling activity. Today, we are going to be focusing on words that end in 'ore'. 'ore'. My tongue will turn. 'ore'. 'ore'. Can you think of any words that end in 'ore'? Let's have a look. My tongue will turn. More. I would like some more please. Core. Throw away your apple core. Score. What is the football score? Tore. I tore my T-shirt. Store. We've got to go to the food store. Amazing. Pause the video now, while you write down those words for later. I know that I can always check my understanding of my spellings by looking at a word, saying it in a sentence so that it makes sense, covering the word, then writing the word next to it and then check my spelling to see if I got it right. That way, I will know when I've done... When I've got the spelling locked in my brain, and when I kind of need a little bit of work on it. Why not give yourself a little spelling test now, to see if you know the spellings. Good luck. Pause your video while you do that. Amazing. Let's carry on. We are now going to have some Recycled Story Time. So, you've heard the story about Awongalema before. We are now going to hear the recycled story. This time it's not got the tortoise and the Jaguar in it, this time, it's got my brand new recycled characters that I have chosen. Remember when you come to do your story, you don't need to choose these characters. You could choose your own animals if you want to. But first of all, let's sit back and listen to mine and Gary's story of Awongalema. Once, there lived, a magical tree that stood in the middle of a plain in Africa. The plain was empty, and dusty, and dry, and there was no water or fruit or food anywhere. Lots of the animals gathered at the watering hole, which was completely empty. They sniffed the air, but there was no food anywhere. They could feel the hot breeze brushing against their skin as they panted and sweated in the sun. One of the animals said, "Huh! We must go to the mountain spirits and ask the tree's name, and then it will bear fruit for us. Who will go to find the mountain spirits?" The warthog, who was hairy and rough-skinned stood up and proudly said, "I will go to the mountain spirits." Everyone covered there noses because the warthog smelled pretty bad. So off the warthog went, up into the mountains. When he got there, he cried out to the mountain spirits, "Mountain spirits, mountains spirits, mountain spirits, mountain spirits. What is the tree's name?" And the mountain spirits replied, "It's name is Awongalema!" So the warthog run as quickly as he could, like a flash, down the hill, when suddenly he bumped into an anthill. The ants covered him all over and he itched and scratched until he got them off. By the time he got back, he'd forgotten the name. So now who stands up next, Gary? Oh, of course. It was the tall, and proud, and feathery ostrich. She stood as tall as she could, and she exclaimed proudly, "I shall go to the mountain spirits." So she run with her long, towering legs, all the way up to the mountain spirits. When she got there, she said to the mountain spirits, "Mountain spirits, mountain spirits. What is the magic tree's name?" And the mountain spirits replied, "It's name is Awongalema." So the ostrich run like a flash, all the way down the hill. But she came across the anthill and she bumped into it. She was in so much pain that she couldn't remember about the Awongalema. She was in so much pain that she couldn't remember what the magic tree's name was. So when she reached them, it was the next animal's turn to have a go. What was the next animal? Ah, that's right. Of course, it was the hyena. The hyena chuckled and laughed in his evil, in his evil... The hyena chuckled and laughed in his evil snigger as he trotted away up to the mountains to find the mountain spirits. When he got there, he laughed as he said, "Mountain spirits, mountain spirits, hi, hi, hi. What is the magic tree's name?" And the mountain spirit said, "Awongalema" The hyena sprinted back down the mountain until he bumped into the anthill. The ants covered him, and he shrieked in pain. So much so, that he had forgotten the tree's name. So when he got back, the next animal volunteered to go to the mountain spirits and what was the next animal called? Goodness, you're here, Gary. Of course, it was the snail. The snail slithered as slowly and gradually as he could, all the way up to the mountain spirits. And he called out, "Mountain spirits, mountain spirits. What is the magic tree's name?" And the mountain spirits replied, "Awongalema!" And so, with his hard shiny shell and his slimy slithery body, he very slowly returned back down to the watering hole. When he got to the watering hole, the other animals were waiting with bated breath, "Oh! What's the magic tree's name?" And the snail cried out. Are you ready? One, two, three. "Awongalema!" The tree burst into life. It grew luscious green leaves and beautiful, stunning, colourful flowers, and on the end of each branch, it bore juicy, succulent, fragrant fruit. The land was drenched with cool, tranquil water and plants and vegetables. And plants and grass grew everywhere and the animals could eat again. And the animals lived happily ever after. Okay. Now that we know our box up. Now that we know our recycled story, really, really well, it's time for us to Box up for Purpose. So watch how I do this and then you can have a go afterwards. Don't forget, when we are boxing up, we need to have a beginning. We need to have setting description in that beginning. We need to have some setting description in that beginning. So, we know what the setting is like. Where does our story begin? Do you remember what country it begins in? Of course, it starts on an empty, dusty plain, which is a bit like a desert in Africa. There, it's so hot and dusty, and there is no water and no fruit anywhere. Then, we have the middle part of our story. First, the warthog goes up the hill, then the ostrich, and then the hyena. What adjectives are you going to use to describe the warthog, the ostrich, and the hyena. Think about what the senses are that we're going to be really, really describing in this story. Gary, do you remember what the senses are? Which ones should we focus on? That's right. Sight. What we can see. Sound. What we can hear, Smell. What we can smell. And touch. What we can feel. Fantastic. Now, finally, the warthog, and the ostrich, and the hyena, go up to the mountain and then come back down again, and then it is the snail's turn and they do not bump into the anthill this time. Instead, the snail comes down, shouts that magic tree name, "Awongalema!" And finally, it bears fruit and there is water and life everywhere again in the plain. Have a look at how I do it, and then you have a go. Don't forget to use your story map to help you. In the beginning of the story, I want us to think about, what can we see? What can we smell? What can we feel? And what can we hear? What do you think the dusty, empty, hot plain would be like? Oh, I used some adjectives just now. Did you hear me? Then in the middle of the story, again, how can we describe the characters? What can we see? What can we smell? What can we feel? And what can we hear? And finally in the end, what can we see? What can we smell? What can we feel? And what can we hear? How is the plain different in the beginning of the story? In my story, I'm going to box up my different sections. So, the first thing I need to do is I need to draw. So, first thing I need to do is I need to draw a line, straight down the middle and then going to section off, different sections. That's going to be my beginning. This is going to be my middle and this is going to be my end. So up here, I'm going to write, beginning. Okay. I know, that in the beginning, there is going to be, a blistering hot sun, and the magic tree, which is empty, and there's going to be no plants or anything there. The next part is going to be my middle. And I know that in this part, I'm going to have the warthog. I'm going to have the ostrich. Do some legs there. And I'm going to have the hyena. I'm going to give it stokes right behind the legs to laugh. And then also, we're going to have the snail, as well. Finally, at the end, I know that the sun, and it's going to be a beautiful tree with lots of flowers and fruit. There'll be lots of grass everywhere. It's going to be beautiful. So, in the beginning, what adjectives do you think I might use to help me describe the beginning part? Remember, I'm thinking about my senses. What can I see? What can I hear? What can I smell? What can I feel? Maybe the sun is blistering. Blistering hot. Hot. Maybe it is burning. Maybe it is dusty. Maybe it looks empty. Maybe it looks a little bit miserable. Fantastic. Now, what about my middle part? How can I describe my warthog? I could say that my wart hog is hairy. Maybe he is smelly, or maybe he's got rough skin. What about my ostrich? Like I said that she's very tall. Maybe she's towering. Maybe she's feathery. What about my hyena? I've described about what some of the animals smell like, what they look like, and what they feel like. What about what they sound like? What do you think the hyena would sound like? Maybe he'd be sniggering. Means laughing. And maybe he is chuckling. Those are all sounds I can use. And finally the snail. What'd I say about his shell? I said his shell was shiny, and maybe his skin is slimy. And how does he move? Maybe he's very slow. And finally, how am I going to describe the setting at the end of the story? Maybe it is going to be leafy. Maybe it's going to be green. Maybe it's going to be alive. Maybe it's going to be beautiful. Fantastic. There I have my beginning. Some words to help me. Some adjectives to help me with the beginning part. My middle part, where I described my characters, and I've got a few adjectives to describe each character. Then I've got my end, where I've got a few adjectives to describe how beautiful the African plain is at the end. Okay. It's now time for you to box up your story. Here's the structure of the story to remind you. Pause the video now, while you complete your boxed up version. Wow! I saw some great ideas today and I know that we're really starting to think about the structure of our story. It needs a beginning, a middle, and an end. And we're also thinking about the senses that we could describe while we're talking about setting and character. I can't wait to see these stories finished. I'm so excited. Please share your work with Oak National. If you'd like to, please ask your parent or carer to show your work on Instagram, or Twitter, or Facebook. What should they tag it as, Gary? Oh! @OakNational. And what hashtag, Gary? #learnwithOak. I'll see you next time. Bye. Bye.!

﻿Hello, my name is Mr Santhanam and welcome to lesson six of 10, from our Awongalima unit. Oh, this is Gary the chameleon. Say hi, Gary, the chameleon. Gary likes to come and help me teach my lesson sometimes. He loves talking about other animals. Look, he's saying hello. Gary, do you have a favourite animal? Oh, can you guess what Gary's favourite animal is? Go on shout out to the screen. What do you think it is? Is it a tiger? Is it a giraffe? Is it a shark? Oh, well what is it Gary? Tell me what's your favourite animal? Ooh, he says that his favourite animal is a leopard. Huh, do you know what noise a leopard makes? Go on, make it now. That's right, it goes roarrrr. So Gary, what are we going to be doing today in our lesson? Uh huh. Oh, are you sure? And then what? Wow, that makes me very excited! Gary says that in today's lesson, we're going to be boxing up for purpose. Boxing up for purpose really helps us to understand the different sections of our story. And it's also going to help us with our vivid description that we are going to include in our stories. Are you any good at describing things in stories Gary? Oh, he says that he loves using adjectives, adverbs, powerful verbs to describe characters and settings in stories. So I can't wait to get started with vivid description today. Should we get started, Gary? Okay. In today's lesson, you are going to need some paper, a pencil, and your brilliant brain. Gary, have you got your brain today? Fantastic. Pause your video while you go and get those things Amazing! Let's begin. So, in our lesson today, we are going to start off with our spelling activity. We're then going to have some recycled story time. We're then going to box up for purpose. And then finally you will get a chance to do your own boxing up independently. Let's get started. First of all, let's do our spelling activity. Today we are going to be focusing on words that end in ore, ore. My turn your turn. Ore, ore. Can you think of any words that end in ore? Let's have a look. My turn your turn, more. I would like some more please. Core. Throw away your apple core. Score. What is the football score? Tore. I tore my tee shirt. Store. We've got to go to the food store. Amazing. Pause the video now while you write down those words for later. I know that I can always check my understanding of my spellings by looking at a word, saying it's in a sentence so that it makes sense, covering the word, then writing the word next to it, and then check my spelling to see if I got it right. That way, I will know when I've done. When I've got the spelling locked in my brain, and when I kind of need a little bit of work on it. Why not give yourself a little spelling test now, to see if you know the spellings. Good luck! Pause your video while you do that. Amazing, let's carry on. We are now going to have some recycled story times. So you, you've heard the story about Awongalima before, we are now going to hear the recycled story. This time it's not got the tortoise and the jaguar in it, this time it's got my brand new recycled characters that I have chosen. Remember when you come to do your story, you don't need to choose these characters. You could choose. You could choose your own animals if you want to. But first of all, let's sit back and listen to mine and Gary's story of Awongalima. Once there lived a magical tree that stood in the middle of a plane in Africa. The plane was empty, and dusty, and dry, and there was no water, or fruit, or food anywhere. Lots of the animals gathered up. Lots of the animals gathered at the watering hole, which was completely empty. They sniffed the air, but there was no food anywhere. They could feel the hot breeze brushing against their skin, as they panted and sweated in the sun. One of the animals said, "Ah, we must go to the mountain spirits and ask the tree's name. And then, we will be, and then it will bear fruit for us. "Who will go to find the mountain spirits?". The warthog who was hairy and rough skinned stood up and proudly said, "I will go to the mountain spirits." Everyone covered their noses because the warthog smelled pretty bad. So off the warthog went up into the mountains. When he got there, he cried out to the mountain spirits, "Mountain spirits, mountains, [inaudible], spirits, mountain spirits, mountain spirits. What is the tree's name?". And the mountain spirits replied, "It's name is Awongalima." So the warthog ran as quickly as he could like a flash down the Hill, when suddenly he bumped into an anthill. The ants covered him all over, and he itched and scratched until he got them off. By the time he got back, he'd forgotten the name. So now, who stands up next, Gary? Oh, of course. It was the tall, and proud, and feathery ostrich. She stood as tall as she could, and she exclaimed proudly, "I shall go to the mountain spirits." So she ran with her long, towering legs all the way up to the mountain spirits. When she got there, she said to the mountain spirits, "Mountain spirits, mountain spirits, what is the magic tree's name?". And the mountain spirits replied. "It's name is..." Awongalima! So the ostrich ran like a flash all the way down the hill. But she came across the anthill and she bumped into it. She was in so much pain that she couldn't remember what the Awongalima. She, she was in so much pain that she couldn't remember what the magic tree's name was. So when she reached them, it was the next animal's turn to have a go. What was the next animal? Ah, that's right of course it was the hyena. The hyena chuckled and laughed in his evil, in his ev-, the hyena chuckled and laughed in his evil snigger, as he trotted away up to the mountains to find the mountain spirits. When he got there, he laughed as he said, "Mountain spirits, mountain spirits, he he he, what is the magic tree's name?". And the mag-, and the mountain spirit said, "Awongalima!". The hyena sprinted back down the mountain until he bumped into the anthill. The ants covered him and he shrieked in pain. So much so, that he had forgotten the tree's name. So when he got back, the next animal volunteered to go to the mountain spirits. And what was the next animal called? Ah thank goodness you're here Gary. Of course it was the snail. The snail slithered as slowly and gradually as he could, all the way up to the mountain spirits. And he called out, "Mountain spirits, mountain spirits, what is the magic tree's name?". And the mountain spirits replied, "Awongalima!". And so, with his hard shiny shell, and his slimy slithery body, he very slowly returned back down to the watering hole. When he got to the watering hole, the animals were waiting with bated breath. "Huh! What's the magic tree's name?". And the snail cried out. Are you ready? 1, 2, 3. "Awongalima!." The tree burst into life. It grew luscious green leaves and beautiful, stunning, colourful flowers. And on the end of each branch, it bore juicy, succulent, fragrant fruit. The land, the land was drenched with cool tranquil water, and plants and veget-, and plants and grass grew everywhere. And the animals could eat again, and the animals lived happily ever after. Okay, now that we know our boxed up, now that we know our recycled story really, really well, it's time for us to box up for purpose. So watch how I do this, and then you can have a go afterwards. Don't forget, when we are boxing up, we need to have a beginning. We need to have setting description in that beginning. We need to have some setting description in that beginning. So we know what the setting is like. Where does our story begin? Do you remember what country it begins in? Of course, it starts on an empty dusty plane, which is a bit like a desert in Africa. There it's so hot and dusty, that there is no water and no fruit anywhere. Then, we have the middle part of our story. First, the warthog goes up the hill, then the ostrich, and then the hyena. What adjectives are you going to use to describe the warthog, the ostrich and the hyena? Think about what the senses are that we're going to be really, really describing in this story. Gary, do you remember what the senses are? Which ones should we focus on? Oh, that's right. Sight, what we can see, sound, what we can hear, smell, what we can smell, and touch, what we can feel. Fantastic. Now, finally, the warthog and the ostrich and the hyena go up to the mountain and then come back down again, and then it is the snails turn. And they do not bump into the anthill this time. Instead, the snail comes down, shouts the magic trees name, "Awongalima!". And finally it bears fruit and there is water and life everywhere again in the plane. Have a look at how I do it, and then you have a go. Don't forget to use your story map to help you. In the beginning of the story I want us to think about: What can we see? What can we smell? What can we feel? And what can we hear? What do you think the dusty empty hot plane would be like? Oh, I used some adjectives just now. Can you, did you hear me? Then in the middle of the story, again, how can we describe the characters? What can we see? What can we smell? What can we feel? And what can we hear? And finally, in the end, what can we see? What can we smell? What can we feel? And what can we hear? How is the plane different in the beginning of the story. In my story, I'm going to box up my different sections. So first thing I need to do is I need to draw, so first thing I need to do is I need to draw a line straight down the middle. I'm then going to section off different sections. That's going to be my beginning, this is going to be my middle, and this is going to be my end. So up here I'm going to write beginning. Okay. I know that in the beginning, there is going to be a blistering hot sun, and the magic tree, which is empty. And there's going to be no plants or anything there. The next part is going to be my middle. And I know that in this part, I'm going to have the warthog, I'm going to have the ostrich, do some legs for her, and I'm going to have the hyena. I'm going to give him a smile because we know that the hyena likes to laugh. And I'm also going to have the snail as well. Finally, at the end, I know that that the sun, it's going to be a beautiful tree with lots of flowers and fruit. There'll be lots of grass everywhere. It's going to be beautiful. So in the beginning, what adjectives do you think I might use to help me describe the beginning part? Remember, I'm thinking about my senses, so what can I see? What can I hear? What can I smell? What can I feel? Maybe, the sun is blistering, blistering hot. Hot. Maybe it is burning. Maybe it is dusty. Maybe it is, it looks empty. Maybe it looks a little bit miserable. Fantastic. Now what about my middle part? How can I describe my warthog? I could say that my wart hog is hairy. Maybe he is smelly. Well, maybe he's got rough skin. What about my ostrich? I could say that she's very tall. Maybe she's towering. Maybe she's feathery. What about my hyena? Hmm, I've described about what some of the animals smell like, what they look like, and what they feel like, what about what they sound like? What do you think the hyena would sound like? Maybe he'd be sniggering, which means laughing. And maybe he is chuckling. Those are all sounds I can use. And finally the snail. What'd I say about his shell? I said his shell was shiny, and maybe his skin is slimy. And how does he move? Maybe he's very slow. And finally, how am I going to describe the setting at end of the story. Maybe it is going to be leafy. Maybe it's going to be green. Maybe it's going to be... alive. Maybe it's going to be beautiful. Fantastic. So I have my beginning, some words to help me, some adjectives to help me with the beginning part. My middle part, where I described my characters, and I've got a few adjectives to describe each character. Then I've got my end where I've got a few adjectives to describe how beautiful the African plane is at the end. Okay, it's now time for you to box up your story. Here's the structure of the story to remind you. Pause the video now while you complete your boxed up version. Wow, I saw some great ideas today, and I know that we're really starting to think about the structure of our story. It needs a beginning, a middle, and an end. And we're also thinking about the sentences that we could describe while we're talking about setting and character. I can't wait to see these stories finished, I'm so excited. Please share your work with Oak National. If you'd like to, please ask your parent or carer to show your work on Instagram, or Twitter, or Facebook. What should they tag it as Gary? Oh, at Oak National. And what hashtag Gary? Hashtag learn with Oak. I'll see you next time, bye, bye.
