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 that it adds a sense of a “person with a skill, belief or linked to something” when combined with bases and stems
- Revisit vowel suffixing conventions
- Learn that some bases and stems need a connecting vowel letter before combining suffix -an
- Learn that many historical periods are named after the person in power at that time and can be combined with suffix -an to add a sense of being “linked” to that historical period
- Break words with suffix -an into word sums
- Learn about the etymology of new bases
- Use a matrix to explore words that can be made with bound base ‘pede’
- Learn that many stems that contain suffix -ic can be combined with suffix -an
- Box the base of some words that contain suffix -an
- Reinforce learning with practical games
Resources included:
- Editable PowerPoint covering four lessons (20 minutes each)
