An engaging and interactive teaching Powerpoint which teaches expanded noun phrases, gives a range of examples and provides many opportunities for the children to consolidate their learning, including: 3 interactive whole class discussions/activities Paired game where they consolidate their learning Independent writing activity

A clear and engaging PowerPoint which introduces the definition for nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs. Once the children have understood the word type, they can work as a class to think of as many examples as possible to consolidate learning. There is extended learning on adverbs where the children develop their understanding of the different purposes of adverbs: adverbs of time, place, manner, frequency or degree. I have also included a sorting activity that children can complete independently, in pairs, in groups or as a class. Enjoy!
