Establish the importance of using the correct words to communicate with each

other. Talk about Grammar as using Correct Words. The aim is to help others
understand us by selecting the correct words in speaking and in writing.

3. Write a sentence on the board and talk briefly about different words working
together to make a sentence. Remind the children of different kinds of words

learnt in Y1 and Y2, e.g. naming words, doing words, describing words, joining
words.

4. Explain that naming words are called ‘nouns’ and they can be used to name

people, places or things.

5. Show pictures of Adam in the Garden of Eden with the animals. Alternatively,
this could be acted out with the children one by one making an animal noise,
e.g. a grunt, a roar, hissing. Adam could then name each one. Explain that

Adam was the first human to use nouns.

6. Go through the worksheet with the children. Tell them about the clock at the

foot of the sheet which indicates activities for those who finish their work with
time to spare.

7. Some children may also like to find a noun for every letter of the alphabet or
even a person, place and thing for every letter during the week or for

homework
