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
