In this engaging writing task, children are asked to identify noun phrases in a given paragraph about a lost child, expand them and use them in their own sentences.

This Y5 Recognising Noun Phrases writing activity can be completed independently but could also be used as a discussion point for small groups or interventions. It can also be used as an assessed piece of writing to gauge how confident pupils are with recognising noun phrases. The worksheet comes with a model answer which can either be shared with the children as a good example or to aid your marking.
