In writing, we’ve been learning about nouns and adjectives.
- A noun is a person, place or thing.
- An adjective gives information about a noun.
We’ve had lots of fun using nouns and adjectives to describe different parts of a monster, inspired by Not Now Bernard by David McKee. The children thought carefully about what the monster looks like and used adjectives to add information.
The monster has five friendly eyes.
He has sharp, pointy horns on top of his red head.
It has gigantic, purple feet.
The monster has rainbow fur all over its round body.
Help at home by choosing an object at home (like a toy or a piece of fruit) and ask your child to name the noun then think of some adjectives to give information about it.
