Expanded Noun Phrases

Year 2

This resource pack supports pupils in developing more detailed and engaging descriptions by using expanded noun phrases. The PowerPoint introduces nouns and noun phrases before showing how to expand them with one or more adjectives to give extra detail. It includes clear examples, interactive identification tasks and opportunities for pupils to create and use their own expanded noun phrases in sentences. The task provides follow-up activities from adding adjectives to simple noun phrases, to writing full sentences and explaining why expanded noun phrases make writing more interesting.
