This expanded noun phrases lesson introduces your KS1 class to the use of descriptive words to add more detail and interest to nouns. Children will learn how simple phrases such as ‘the dog’ can be expanded into more detailed descriptions like ‘the fluffy brown dog’ or how 'the dragon' can become ‘the enormous, roaring dragon’, helping to make their writing clearer and more exciting for the reader. 


Lesson 1: Expanded Noun Phrases

In this Expanded Noun Phrases Year 2 lesson, your class will learn to identify nouns in a sentence and will find out that, when adjectives are used to describe these, expanded noun phrases are created.

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.
