🧠 Year 6 Latin Lessons: Learning Noun Endings! 🎓
This term, Year 6 have been diving back into the world of Latin! Our focus for this half term is to understand subjects, nouns and objects in Latin.
This week and last week, we’ve learned is that Latin nouns change their endings depending on:
- Whether they’re the subject (doing the action) or object (receiving the action), and
- Whether they’re singular (one) or plural (more than one).
In English, word order tells us who is doing what. But in Latin, it’s the endings that matter!
For example:
- Equus magum videt – The horse sees the wizard.
- Magus equum videt – The wizard sees the horse.
See how “equus” becomes “equum” and “magus” becomes “magum” depending on who is doing what?
We’ve been practising with fun games and silly sentences—and it’s helping us understand how languages work, even our own! Next, we’re learning more Latin verbs. Wish us luck—vale! 👋
