Letters from the Lighthouse - Grammar Hunt

The "Grammar Hunt" activity is designed to engage students in identifying various grammatical elements within the text of "Letters from the Lighthouse." This session provides an interactive way for Key Stage 2 (KS2) students to explore and reinforce their understanding of grammar. The task involves students searching through the text for specific grammatical features, which are not listed in the provided excerpt but would typically include components such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, and punctuation marks. As they find each element, students record their findings in the space provided.

After successfully identifying the grammatical elements, the students are then encouraged to create their own sentences, demonstrating their grasp of the grammar they have been investigating. This part of the activity allows students to apply their knowledge creatively, ensuring they have not only recognised grammatical features in the context of the text but can also use them effectively in their own writing. The "Grammar Hunt" is a valuable exercise for consolidating grammar skills, promoting close reading of texts, and fostering a deeper appreciation of language structure in literature.
