Expanded Noun Phrases Year 2

Children use adjectives and nouns to create simple noun phrases before identifying expanded noun phrases within given sentences. They then move on to developing their own expanded noun phrases to describe different scenes. Improving base sentences provides an opportunity for them to apply their understanding of how expanded noun phrases can be used to enhance writing.
