This is the first lesson in the next sequence designed to help children expand their sentences. In this lesson, pupils learn to identify nouns — the naming words for people, places, animals, and things.

Understanding nouns is the first step towards adding description. By recognising nouns, children are prepared for the next stage in their writing journey: using adjectives to add detail and make their sentences more interesting.

The PowerPoint introduces nouns in simple, structured steps, while the differentiated worksheets provide practice for all learners — from identifying nouns in word lists to spotting them in full sentences.
