﻿Hi, it's Ms. Morgan, again, ready for your spelling lesson. Today, we're going to be practising using homophones. Remember, homophones are words that have the same sound. They sound the same, but they have different spellings and different meanings, for example, right and right. Yes, you're right, that's correct. Or I'm going to turn right. Or I'm going to write you a letter. So that way we've got three different meanings for the word right? Let's get started. Now, our agenda for today, we're going to revise homophones. We'll recap the spelling words. I'll teach you a new strategy, and then we'll have our spelling test. In this lesson, you're going to need something to write on, some paper or an exercise book, a pencil, something to write with, and of course, you got your brain ready, switched on for learning. Pause the video, go and get these things now. What is a homophobe? Can you put your finger on your nose if you can remember. Maybe you can remember some examples for me. Brilliant, remember homophobes sound the same but they have different spellings and different meanings. That's really important. Here's a homophobe, meet, meat. Can you wave at me if you know what one of the meanings is for this? Well done. All right, meat, can be an example of some steak or a pork chop. Meat is a food that we eat. Or the other meat, with a double e, or could be I'm going to meet someone or nice to meet you. Key vocabulary for today. Some of you probably already guessed it but it is homophones. My turn, homophones, well-done. These are words that have different spellings and different meanings, but they sound the same. Well done. Now, this is different too, homophone. A homophone is words that have the same spelling but multiple meanings. We are looking at homophone today, can be really easy to get confused with the two. In fact, I sometimes do actually, really careful. Remember we looked at the word homophone and we discovered that the homo part meant one and same from the Greek word homos. And that the phone bit actually meant voice from that Greek word. So when you think about it, you could say it as same voice. And for me, I think that means, oh, the same sound, they sound the same. It's really interesting to look at the origins of words. Let's revise. Can you spot the homophones in these sentences? Give me a big, fat, grin when you spot them. I will be in school at 8:45 a.m. The forager bee collect the pollen from plants. Which one is it? Be, well done. To recap, let's use our sentence STEM to explain. We've got four missing words, and you've got to try and fill the gaps for me. I'll read the four words first, and then the sentence. Homophones same sound, different spelling, different meaning. Mmm, are words that have the mmm, but have a mmm, and a mmm. Can you try and fill in the gaps for me? Pause the video, and I want you to say it out loud in a full sentence using the sentence STEM. Pause the video, have a go now. How did you get on? It can get a bit wordy, can't it? Remember? Homophones are words that have the same sound like fair and bear. My example you can see down here but a different spelling and a different meaning. Well done. Now, one of my favourite ones which one is the odd one out here? Which word is not a homophone? Remember, homophones sound the same that have different spellings and meanings. Can you think of other words that sound the same as break, play, two that have different spellings and different meanings? Pause the video. Have a go now. How did you get on? It's quite a tricky one here. All right, let's take break first. What I know that this spelling break has to do with the break on a bike. So I'm going to pull my brake in order to stop. Now, you also know that there's another spelling of break which means break time. So it's not going to be break. Two. Well, that was one of our spelling words. I know that there's to and there's two. So that's definitely a homophone. Sounds the same, but different spellings, different meanings. Play. I'm going to go and play outside. So that's a verb. I'm going to go watch a play. Ah, I've spotted it. Play is the odd one out because it's actually a homonym. It has two or more meanings, but with the same spelling. Oh, tricky one there Ms. Morgan. Let's see if you remember the definition of a homophone. I know you're saying Ms. Morgan, we keep going on with this, but it's really tricky. It's really easy to get confused. Option one, two or more words that sound the same, but have different meanings, different spellings. Option two, a group of letters at the end of the word that changed its meaning. Pause the video, read them again, and then point to the screen. That's right, option one, well done. Because they sound the same, but have different meanings and different spellings. Did you recognise option two? Bonus question? What is it? It's actually a suffix? Well done. That's what we've been practising . Let's see if we can practise and apply some of our spelling words. Here are this weeks spellings. There was some tricky ones there, particularly, when you have to try and remember right context to use them. I definitely know that I found this hard when I was young. To, too, two. Oh, always used to trip me up. Anyone got any good tricks? Let me share mine. Remember, I'm mapping T-O, you're off to go and see somebody. T-O I'm off to go and see somebody. I'm going to the park. T-O, I'm off to go and see somebody. T-O, I'm off to go and see somebody. He double o, too many, too many umbrellas, too much. I can't eat it anymore. Too many umbrellas. And number two, we need two avocados. We now going to see if you could apply his knowledge. Do you know which to to use in which context? I'll read the sentences out loud and see if you can work out which one, which goes where? The teacher read the book mmm, the class. You are mmm old to go on this ride. I need mmm people to help me with a job. Pause the video. See if you can choose which one to go in the right place. How did you get on? The teacher read the book to the class. T-O. You are too tall to go on this ride. I know that's the double o, because it got too many os. And I need two people, T-W-O, to help me with a job. So there's a number two. Don't worry iIf you've got mixed up, practise makes perfect. There, they're, their. Now this is quite a tricky concept. Remember, it's really important to remember the context that you are using that will help you to remember which spelling. So here's a picture of a dog sitting outside a shop. Got three sentences to explain using the three there's. There that are chairs outside the shop. Remember that's sort of there is an adverb that indicates place. So there I put a map to remind me. There, I know it's going to be there. The dog was waiting for them. And that their is possession. Owns it, owning the dog. Okay, like the picture of the money to help you. Owning the dog, it's their dog, possession. And finally, they're inside buying some gifts and that's the contractive version. And you've just got to remember if you let the part to make they are. See if the sentence makes sense when you put it back together, and you know if it's correct. Let's see if you can apply these. Here are three sentences and you need to choose the right there. Remember those tricks I just taught you. There. There are chairs that place where the things are. Their dog, possession, it's theirs. And the contracted version of they are, they're. Going to the shop was their idea. Why are you over there? They're going to move house soon. Pause the video, try and choose which there goes in the right sentence to make it correct. Remember our tricks. Off you go. How did you get on? Going to shop was their idea. Their idea, their idea. They own it, it's their possession. T-H-E-I-R. Why you over there? Hmm. T-H-E-R-E. In that place. They're going to move house soon. Remember, you try it apart. They are going to move house soon. They're going to move house soon. Well done. Be and bee. The first be, B-E, it's a verb used to described something or someone. I'm going to be a star. I'm going to be a scientist. They're going to be happy with me. And the second sort of B, b double e, is the buzzing bee. And I like to remember the buzzing bee has a double e. You say it with me. The buzzing bee has a double e. Well done. The bee stung me. Ouch! Let's see if you can choose which be. She wants to be an astronaut. The bee returned to the hive. Pause the video, have a go. Which one goes where? Remember, a buzzing bee has a double e. Bzz. How did you get on? She wants to be, that's right. B-E an astronaut. And the buzzing bee returns to hive. The buzzing bee has a double e. Well done. Right, write. The first spending of right, R-I-G-H-T, actually has two meanings. We're going to discuss the first one is with direction. You turn right at the crossing. The second meaning is that's the right one. Talking about something correct. Choosing the right answer. And the second spelling of rights we're going to look at is W-R-I-T-E. I'm going to write this down. Here are two sentences. Let's see if you can apply your knowledge. It took me a long time to write that story. That's the right direction to go in. Can you choose which spelling of right goes into the correct sentence. Think about the meanings we just talked about here. Okay, Pause the video. How did you get on? Did you spot the clue? In the first sentence, it took me a long time to write that story. The clue their story is telling us that we're actually writing something. So I know that it's the W-R-I-T-E spelling. And the other clue in the next sentence talks about direction. That's the right direction. R-I-G-H-T. Well done. Now are we going to learn a new strategy to practise our spellings? This strategy is called naughty letters. We've done it before but we're going to do it slightly differently today. What do you find tricky with this spelling? T-H-E-R-E. I can tell you I'm never sure which context to use it in. So here's my handy hint. I like to draw an arrow to show that this has to do with place if it's an adverb to describe place for there. So I draw an arrow and that helps me remember. I also sometimes like to remember that saying go from here to there, here to there. And I know the spelling of here, and if I know the spelling of here, then I'm going to know that tricky bit of that from here to there. So my trick here is you can draw an arrow or you can practise writing here to there. How about with this one? The other there, and that's to deal with the possession, the owning. Their here, I like to draw a person in the eye. And that reminds me that it's always somebody's possession, their owning something there. What about this one, too? Hmm, straighter, I think too much. And you know what? There's too many owes there. So I've drawn two little people in my o. Too many os. I also like to remember someone saying please let me come too, so me as well. Why is this a useful strategy? Well, it allows you to interact with the word. We just saw that, didn't we? We get to draw smiley faces in our os. Highlight those tricky, naughty, letters. Should we look again? Those tricky, naughty letters here in that their. Highlighting that naughty eye. And finally, it consolidates meanings. It makes sure you understand you know what those words mean, which is really hard with those naughty homophones. Now, you're going to have a go. I want you to pick four words to practise, and I'd like you to use the naughty letter strategy. You can use some of my ideas, or you can come up with some of your own. Pause the video now, and I want you to practise with four words from our spelling list. Off you go. All right, it's time for your spelling test. Remember. you can always come back to this spelling test if you want to do some more practise, that's absolutely fine. With a clean piece of paper, I want you to write the numbers one through to 10 down. Do this now, Pause the video. Right, are you ready for your spelling, got your pencil, got something to write on? Got your list written neatly. I'll say the spellings twice. And then, I'll say them in a sentence, so you can understand the meaning. I've mixed up the spelling order from last lesson. So make sure you're paying attention. Are you ready? Remember, you'll have to wait for me to say the sentence in order for you to know which context and which meaning, therefore which homophone to use spelling. Spelling number one. They're having a great time. They're having a great time. Number two, write. Write, write down your favourite spelling strategy. Write down your favourite spending strategy. Number three, to, to. I'm going to write this word down. I'm going to write this word down. Number four, be, be. I want to be an engineer when I grow up. I want to be an engineer when I grow up. Number five, there. There. There are lots of homophones. There are lots of homophones. Number six too. Too. Are you coming too? Are you coming too? Number seven? He ruined their clothes. He ruined their clothes. Number eight, bee. Bee. The bee is collecting pollen. The bee is collecting pollen. Number nine. Right. Right. Do we turn left or right? Do we turn left or right? Number 10, two. Two. There are only two of us. You finished your spellings. Check through them now. Pause the video if you need to. Right, let's check your spellings. Spelling number one, they're. They're having a great time. T-H-E-Y apostrophe R-E. Remember, this is a contractive version of they are. Well done. Remember you tick if correct, and you change, if not. Number two, write. Write, W-R-I-T-E. Did you get that silent W? Number three, to. T-O spells to. Number four, be, B-E. Be. Number five, there. T-H-E-R-E. From here to there. Number six, t double o. Are you coming too? Number seven, their. T-H-E-I-R. He ruined their clothes. Owned their clothes, possession. Number eight, bee. The bee is collecting pollen. Remember, the buzzing bee has a double e. Number nine, right? Do we turn left or right? R-I-G-H-T. Number 10, two. T-W-O. There are two of us. The number two. Well done, you finished your spellings. Remember if you made any mistakes, just correct them and keep on practising . Easy lesson. Lots of revision. We recapped our spelling words. We learnt a new strategy of practising . There's some lots of new ideas. And then finally, you had your spelling test. Congratulations, I'll see you next lesson.

﻿Hi, it's Miss Morgan again, ready for your spelling lesson. Today we're going to be practising using homophones. Remember, homophones are words that have the same sound, so they sound the same, but they have different spellings and different meanings. For example, right and right. Yes, you're right, that's correct. Or I'm going to turn right. Or I'm going to write you a letter. So that way, we've got three different meanings for the word right. Let's get started. Our agenda for today, we're going to revise homophones. We'll recap the spelling words. I'll teach you a new strategy. And then we'll have our spelling test. In this lesson, you're going to need something to write on, some paper or an exercise book, a pencil, something to write with, and of course, you got your brain ready, switched on for learning. Pause the video, go and get these things now. What is a homophone? Can you put your finger on your nose if you can remember, maybe you can remember some examples for me. Brilliant. Remember homophones sound the same, but they have different spellings and different meanings. That's really important. Here's a homophone meet, meat. Can you wave at me if you know what one of the meanings is for this. Well done. Alright meat, could be an example of some steak or a pork chop. Meat is a food that we eat. Or the other meet with a double e could be I'm going to meet someone or nice to meet you. key vocabulary for today. Some of you probably already guessed it, but it is homophones, my friend homophones. Well done. These are words that have different spellings and different meanings, but they sound the same, well done. Now this is different to homonym. A homonym is words that have the same spelling, but multiple meanings. We are looking at homophones today. Can be really easy to get confused with the two. In fact, I sometimes do actually really careful. Remember, we looked at the word homophone, and we discovered that the homo part meant one and same from the Greek word 'homos', and that the phone bit actually meant voice from that Greek word. And so when you think about it, you could say it as same voice. And for me, I think that means, oh, the same sounds, they sound the same. It's really interesting to look at the origins of words. Let's revise. Can you spot the homophones in the sentences? Give me a big fat grin when you spot them. I will be in school at 8:45 a.m. The forager bee collects the pollen from plants. Which one is it? Be, well done. To recap, let's use our sentence then to explain. We've got four missing words, and you've got to try and fill the gaps for me. I'll read the four words first, and then the sentence. Homophones, same sound, different spelling different meaning. Hmm, are words that have the hmm, but have a hmm, and a hmm. Can you try and fill in the gaps for me? Pause the video and I want you to say it out loud in a full sentence using the sentence there. Pause the video, have a go now. How did you get on? It can get a bit wordy, can't it? Remember homophones are words that have the same sound, like bear and bare, my example you can see down here, but a different spelling and a different meaning. Well done. Now one of my favourite ones. Which one is the odd one out here? Which word is not a homophone? Remember, homophones sound the same but have different spellings and meanings. Can you think of other words that sound the same as brake, play, two, but have different spellings and different meanings? Pause the video, have a go now. How did you get on? It's quite a tricky one here. Brake, Let's take brake first of all. Well I know that this spelling brake has to do with the brake on a bike. So I'm going to pull my brake in order to stop. I also know that there's another spelling of brake, which means breaktime. So it's not going to be brake. Two, well, that was one of our spelling words. I know that there's T-O and there's T double o. So that's definitely a homophone, sounds the same, but different spellings, different meanings. Play. I'm going to go and play outside. So that's a verb. I'm going to go and watch a play. Ah, I've spotted it. Play is the odd one out, because it's actually a homonym. It has two or more meanings, but with the same spelling. Tricky one there Miss Morgan. Let's see if you can remember the definition of a homophone. I know you're saying Miss Morgan we get going on with this, but it's really tricky. It's really easy to get confused. Option one, two or more words that sound the same but have different meanings, different spellings. Option two, a group of letters at the end of a word that changes its meaning. Pause the video, read them again and then point to the screen. That's right, option one, well done, because they sound the same, but they have different meanings and different spellings. Did you recognise option two? Bonus question. What is it? That is suffix, well done, that's what we've been practising . Let's see if we can practise and apply some bad spelling words. Here are this week spellings. There are some tricky ones there, particularly when you have to try and remember the right context to use them. I definitely know that I found this hard when I was young. To, too, two. Always used to trick me up. Anyone got any good tricks? Let me share mine. Remember I imagine, t-o, you're off to go and see somebody. T-O, I'm off to go and see somebody. I'm going to the park. T-O, I'm off to go and see somebody. T-O, I'm off to go and see somebody. T-O-O, too many, too many umbrellas. Too much, I can't eat it anymore. Too many umbrellas. And number two, we need two avocados. We're now going to see if you can apply this knowledge. Do you know which to to use in which context? I'll read the sentences out loud and see if you can work out which one, which goes where. The teacher read the book hmm the class You are hmm tall to go on this ride. I need hmm people to help me with a job. Pause the video, see if you can choose which one to go in the right place. How did you get on? The teacher read the book to the class, T-O. You are too tall to go on this ride. I know that's the double o 'cause it got too many o's. And I need two people, T-W-O, to help me with a job. So is it's a number two. Don't worry if you've got mixed up, practise makes perfect. There, they're, their. Now this is quite a tricky concept. Remember, it's really important to remember that context that you are using that will help you to remember which spelling. So here's a picture of a dog sitting outside a shop. Got three sentences to explain using the three there's. There are chairs outside the shop. Remember that sort of there is an adverb that indicates place. So there, so I put a map to remind me there, I know it's going to be there. Their dog was waiting for them. And that their is possession, owns it, so owning the dog, okay? And I put the picture of the money to help you. Owning the dog. It's their dog, possession. So finally, they're inside buying some gifts. And that's the contracted version. And you've just got to remember, if you split apart to make they are, see if the sentence makes sense then you put it back together and you know if it's correct. Let's see if you can apply these. Here are three sentences and you need to choose the right there. Remember those tricks I just taught you. There, there are chairs, that place where the things are there. Their dog, possession, it's theirs. And the contracted version of they are, they're. Going to the shop was their idea. Why are you over there? They're going to move house soon. Pause the video, try and choose which there goes in the right sentence to make it correct. Remember, our tricks. Off you go. How did you get on? Going to shop was, going to the shop was their idea. It's their idea. Their idea they own it's their possession, T-H-E-I-R. Why are you over there? T-H-E-R-E, and that's place. They're going to move house soon. Remember you try it apart, they are going to move house soon, they're going to move house soon, well done. Be and bee. For this first be, B-E is a verb used to describe something or someone. I'm going to be a star. I'm going to be a scientist. They're going to be happy with me. And the second sort of b, B double E is the buzzing bee and I like to remember the buzzing bee has a double e. You still are with me? The buzzing bee has a double e, well done. The bee stung me, ouch. Let's see if you can choose which be. She wants to be an astronaut. The bee returned to the hive. Pause the video, have a go, which one goes where? Remember the buzzing bee has a double e, zz. How did you get on? She wants to be, that's right, B-E an astronaut. And the buzzing bee return to the hive. The buzzing bee has a double e, well done. Right, write. The first spelling of right, R-I-G-H-T actually has two meanings we're going to discuss. The first one is to do with direction, you turn right at the crossing. The second meaning is, that's the right one, talking about something correct, choosing the right answer. And the second spelling of rights we're going to look at is, W-R-I-T-E. I'm going to write this down. Here are two sentences, let's see if you can apply your knowledge. It took me a long time to write that story. That's the right direction to go in. Can you choose which spelling of right goes into the correct sentence? Think about the meanings we just talked about here. Off you go, pause the video. How did you get on? He's got a clue. In the first sentence, it took me a long time to write that story. The clue that story is telling us that we're actually writing something so I know that it's the W-R-I-T-E, spelling. And the other clue in the next sentence talks about direction. That's the right direction, R-I-G-H-T. Well done. Now we're we going to learn a new strategy our spellings. This strategy is called naughty letters. We've done it before, but we're going to do slightly differently today. What do you find tricky with this spelling, T-H-E-R-E? I can tell you I'm never sure which context to use it in. So here's my handy hint. I like to draw an arrow to show that this has to do with place, that's it's an adverb to describe place to there. So I draw an arrow and that helps me remember. I also sometimes like to remember that saying, go from here to there, here to there, and I know the spelling of here, and if I know the spelling of here, then I'm going to know that tricky bit of there, from here to there. So my trick here is you can draw an arrow, or you can practise writing here to there. What about with this one? You have a their. And that's to do with that possession, the owning. So here I like to draw a person in the i. And that reminds me that it's always somebody's possession, that owning something their. What about this one, too? Huh, straightaway I think too much. And you know what, there's too many o's there so I've drawn too little people in my o's, so there's too many o's. I also like to remember someone saying, "Please let me come too," so me as well. Why is this a useful strategy? Well, it allows you to interact with the word. We just saw that didn't, we? We get to draw smiley faces in our o's. It highlights those tricky naughty letters. Should we look again? Those tricky naughty letters here in that their, so it's highlighting that naughty i. And finally it consolidates meaning, so it makes sure you understand, you know what those words mean. Which is really hard with those naughty homophones. Now you're going to have a go, I want you to pick four words to practise. And I'd like you to use the naughty letter strategy. You can use some of my ideas, or you can come up with some of your own. Pause the video now and I want you to practise with four words that are on our spelling list. Off you go. Now it's time for your spelling test. Remember, you can always come back to the spelling test if you want to do some more practise that's absolutely fine. It's a clean piece of paper and I want you to write the numbers one through to 10 down. Do this now, pause the video. Right, are you ready for your spelling? Get your pencil, got something to write on, got your list written neatly. I'll say the spellings twice, and then I'll say them in a sentence so you can understand the meaning. I've mixed up the spelling order from last lesson, so make sure you're paying attention. Are you ready? Remember, you have to wait for me to say the sentence in order for you to know which context and which meaning, therefore which homophone to use. Spelling number one. They're having a great time. They're having a great time. Number two, write. Write. Write down your favourite spelling strategy. Write down your favourite spelling strategy. Number three, to, to. I'm going to write this words down. I'm going to write this words down. Number four, be, be. I want to be an engineer when I grow up. I want to be an engineer when I grow up, Number five. There. There. There are lots of homophones. There are lots of homophones. Number six, too, too. Are you coming too? Are you coming too? Number seven. He ruined their clothes. He ruined their clothes. Number eight, bee, bee. The bee is collecting pollen. The bee is collecting pollen. Number nine. Right. Right. Do we turn left or right? Do we turn left or right? Number 10, two two. There are only two of us. You've finished your spellings check through them now pause the video if you need to. Right, let's check your spellings. Spelling number one, they're. They're having a great time, T-H-E-Y apostrophe R-E. Remember this is a contracted version of they are, well done. Remember, you tick off correct and you change if not. Number two, write write W-R-I-T-E. Did you get that silent w? Number three, to. T-O spells to. Number four. Be, B-E, be. Number five there. T-H-E-R-E. From here to there. Number six, T double O. Are you coming too? Number seven, their. T-H-E-I-R. He ruined their clothes, owned their clothes, possession. Number eight, bee the bee is collecting pollen. Remember the buzzing bee has a double e. Number nine, right. Do we turn left or right? R-I-G-H-T. Number 10 two, T-W-O. There are two of us, the number two Well done you've finished your spellings, remember if you made any mistakes, just correct them and keep on practising . Easy lesson lots of revision, we recapped our spelling words, we learnt a new strategy of practising with some lots of new ideas. And then finally, you had your spelling test. Congratulations, I'll see you next lesson.
