understand how noun groups can be expanded in a variety of ways to provide a fuller description of a person, place, thing or idea

• learning how to expand a description by combining a related set of nouns and adjectives, for example ‘two old brown cattle dogs’
• observing how descriptive details can be built up around a noun or an adjective, forming a group (for example, ‘this very smelly cleaning cloth in the sink’ is a noun group and ‘as pretty as the flowers in May’ is an adjective group)
