This week, our homework is Practice Makes Perfect: I can use expanded noun phrase.
In our recent writing lessons, we’ve been learning loads about expanded noun phrases and how to use them. An expanded noun phrase gives more detail or information about a noun. An expanded noun phrase has a determiner (like ‘his’), an adjective (like ‘green’) and a noun (like ‘eyes) – his green eyes. In the sentence below, the expanded noun phrase is underlined.
The angry, little elf stomped furiously out onto the ice.
For their homework, children should practice using the adjectives below (and their own ideas) to create their own expanded noun phrases.
| isolated | determined | blazing | hideous | menacing |
| reckless | rippling | trembling | deafening | crisp |
This homework should be completed and returned by Thursday 14 November.
