In this objective, children will learn how to add suffix -an to bases. Over four  20-minute lessons, they will:

· Learn how to add suffix -an to places (countries and continents) to form a word that tells us a person is “linked to” that place · Learn the etymology and morphology of some places, understanding how they got their names and that sometimes we need a connecting vowel letter (CVL) to form the spellings of these places · Recap learning of free and bound bases   · Learn the meanings of some new bound bases that take suffix -an · Recognise the difference between words with suffix -an and words with the ‘an’ letter string · Apply the rule “change the final letter y after a consonant to i , then add suffix -an” to stems ending in the letter y  · Reinforce learning with practical games Resources included: · Editable PowerPoint covering 4 lessons (20 minutes each) · Teacher guidance with optional activities ·  Supporting worksheets including a passport to collect interesting facts about the etymology of countries and continents, a global news activity, matrix and word sum activities  ·  A class quiz  ·  2 fluency activities (with answers) ·  1 reasoning activity (with answers)- editable google slides presentation...
