Most English words can be classed into nouns, adjectives and verbs.

Nouns: words used to identify people, places and things.
In other words, nouns are the names we give things.
Examples of nouns: London, Clock, Flower, Dragon
Verbs: words used to describe actions or things you can do.
Examples of verbs: drawing, reading, shouting
Adjectives: words used to describe nouns or verbs.

1. Put the nouns, verbs and adjectives into the correct boxes.

2. Can you colour in examples of nouns, adjectives and verbs in this extract?

TASK C:
This extract is taken from the end of the novel, where the Darling children have come home and are hiding waiting for their mother to find them.
I have removed all the full stops and speech marks from this extract.
Can you add in the missing punctuation?

TASK D:

“Tinkerbell is Peter Pan’s fairy companion. She is small, maybe the size of your hand. She wears a handmade dress sewn together from autumn leaves that she chose herself. Her hair is messy, as you might expect from a fairy who spends her days in the forest. Tiny buttons made from daisy are sewn along her dress and earrings created from spiderwebs dangle in her hairs. She is a feisty fairy with a sharp tongue.”
Take a look at these interpretations to give your ideas for your costume-
