Use a passport activity to gather interesting information about the names of places (countries and continents)
Recognise the difference between proper nouns and proper adjectives
Recap learning of free and bound bases
Use a matrix to build words with the free base 'help'
Solve word sums
Recognise the difference between words with suffix -an and words with the ‘an’ letter pattern
Combine -an with bound bases and other morphemes to show a person with a "skill, belief, or linked to"
