Nouns and verbs I found a book last night . I started to read it and I found nouns and verbs in it. At school we are learning about:putting nouns first and then putting the verb next ,so I am going to put this page on the blog so you can get the hang of what we are learning about with our writing. My name is Lydia.
Can you find some activated nouns like Lydia?  Take a photo and post it into this link to share with us!
