In our English lessons this week, we have been learning all about common and proper nouns.
We discovered that a common noun is a name that can belong to lots of the same kind of thing — for example, girl, teacher, or city. A proper noun, on the other hand, is the specific name of a person, place, or thing — like Ada, Mrs. Crawford, or Doncaster!
One of the easiest ways to spot a proper noun is by looking for a capital letter at the start. That little clue helps us tell the difference straight away!
After learning together on the board, we split into teams to practise sorting nouns into common or proper. There was lots of discussion, teamwork, and excitement as we worked out which was which.
Everyone did a brilliant job — we’re becoming real grammar experts!
