Captain Flinn and the Pirate Dinosaurs part 2

Click here to listen to the second half of last week’s story:

Task 1:
I would like you to have a go at writing some noun phrases.
What are noun phrases ?
A noun phrase gives extra information about a noun.
Nouns are names of people places or things.

 

e.g. telescope

 

 

I could add some describing words in front of the noun to make it sound more interesting. e.g. the old, wooden telescope.

I could add a preposition to give even more information.
e.g. the old, wooden telescope with gold edgings

I have now given the reader a really clear picture of what the telescope is like.

Have a look at this picture of the pirate ship. Choose some objects in the picture and use them to create some of your own noun phrases. I have included some vocabulary to help you.
