Nouns… people, places, animals, things…

Students  learned about nouns during a Maltese and English lesson. Nouns were used to label pictures. Nouns had to be found in sentences. Students created their own nouns using lego blocks. Nouns were also sorted in categories.

During another Maltese lesson, students worked in pairs to distinguish between ‘h’ and ‘ħ’. Again various activities, promoting learning through play, were used to encourage students to learn to make a distinction between these 2 letters.

Nouns Banner

After learning about nouns, the Year 3.1 students created their own nouns banner.  Each group was given a different category, i.e. people, animals, places and things.  Members from each group had to search the correct picture from the various magazines pictures displayed on  the tables.  Then, they had to cut, glue and write down the common noun under the said picture.  With this activity students realized more than before that nouns are all around us.  They truly enjoyed doing this activity.
