In this objective, children will revisit suffix -an from Year 3 and build on their previous learning.  Over four 20-minute lessons, they will:

·        Recap learning of suffix -an and the suffixing conventions needed when added to a base or stem ·        Learn that some bases and stems need to add a connecting vowel letter before adding suffix -an ·        Learn that many historical periods are named after the person in power at that time and often take the suffix -an. ·        Break words with suffix -an into word sums ·        Explore words that can be made with the bound base ‘pede’ ·        Learn that many bases have suffix -ic added before suffix -an ·        Explore the etymology of some bound bases ·        Box the base of words with suffix -an and learn about its etymology ·        Reinforce learning with practical games

Resources included:

·                     Editable PowerPoint covering 4 lessons (20 minutes each) ·                     Teacher guidance with optional activities ·                     Supporting worksheets including a careers office worksheet, base pede matrix and box the base ·                     A range of practical activities including a historical periods timeline class activity and a class corners game ·                     Two fluency activities (with answers) ·                     A reasoning activity (with answers)...
