The Shirt machine

This film was part of the Year 4 scheme of work in the old Literacy Framework. It is still worth a look.  I have used this animation on numerous occasions in years 4- 6.

- Draw plans of the shirt machine.  Label the parts that the children use and where they find them.  
- How to use commas in lists - Make a list of all the components of the shirt machine.  
- Write instructions for the Shirt Machine using temporal connectives.  Next, then and imperative verbs, stamp, push, pull etc

- Discuss the use of Onomatopoeia (sound words) to describe the sound the machine makes as it works.  Can the children describe the sounds of other machines?  There machines?
- Children can create a ledger as a class full of their shirt ideas.  Draw and label designs based on the animation, flying shirt, edible shirt etc.  
- Write adverts - advertise their shirt and it's benefits. 
- Hot seating - Can we ask the uncle questions?  What would his answers be?
- Why is the girl's favourite shirt so special?  What makes something special?  Do the children have any special items of clothing?  Why are they special?
