This resource includes a comprehensive teacher Notebook which ensures the children understand how to use the auxiliary verbs ‘has’ and ‘have’ before looking at how to use verbal rehearsal to identify the simple past tense and past participle forms of verbs. It then teaches them how to combine these skills to write in the present perfect form before learning some of the scenarios where they might apply it in their writing. There is also an independent task sheet for the children to put their learning into practice and a challenge activity that ensures they recognise when to use the present perfect tense and when to just use the simple past.

It then looks at how coordinating conjunctions can also be used to connect words and phrases and the impact this has on punctuating sentences. The activities ensure the children can recognise the conjunctions within sentences as well as use them appropriately in their writing.

This resource teaches the children how to use the adverbial conjunctions ‘furthermore’, and ‘in addition’ to add extra detail to the first clause, and ‘in contrast’, ‘on the other hand’ and ‘however’ to add a main clause that opposes the first main clause. It then teaches the children how to use these adverbial conjunctions to join two main clauses, punctuated correctly with a semi colon and a comma. The challenge asks the children to choose the most appropriate adverbial conjunction based on the content of the two main clauses.

This resource includes a comprehensive teacher Notebook which introduces ways of writing extended noun phrases without using adjectives. It takes the children through how to extend using propositional phrases, relative clauses and ing participle phrases step by step. It then introduces an independent challenge activity to ensure the children can identify extended noun phrases when they are modified both before and after the noun.

This resource includes a comprehensive teacher Notebook which introduces writing extended noun phrases using adjectives before introducing adjectival prepositional phrases as a way of varying sentence structures by modifying after the noun. Children are taught to use a combination of strategies to avoid over using the determiner - adjective(s) - noun structure. Focus then moves on to introducing the range of prepositions that can start these phrases, and ensuring the children can both use them and recognise them within sentences. There is an independent challenge sheet that will help to assess the children’s level of understanding as well as promote the importance of using a range of prepositional phrases in their writing.

This resource includes a comprehensive teacher Notebook which ensures the children are secure with singular and plural subjects and can identify which person a subject is before introducing ‘have’ and ‘has’ as present tense verbs and how to use ‘has’ for singular 3rd person subjects and ‘have’ for all others. It also explores contracting ‘have’ and ‘has’ with the subject. There is an independent task sheet for the children to put their learning into practice and a challenge activity that introduces some of the more complicated rules for maintaining the subject - verb agreement.

This resource introduces the children to a range of question forms including when to use ‘which’ and when to use ‘what’; when to use ‘who’ and when to use ‘whose’; how to turn statements into questions by swapping the subject and verb; and how to turn statements into questions by adding on a tag. The challenge then tests their understanding by asking them to change a range of statements into questions in two different ways.

This resource includes a teacher Notebook which introduces the various forms the subject of a sentence can take but in active ways that the children will enjoy. It also provides an ideal platform to consolidate the children’s understanding of what a sentence is in order to ensure they can use full stops accurately and consistently in their work. There is also an independent task sheet for the children to put their learning into practice and a challenge activity that will help to assess their level of understanding.

This resource includes a teacher Notebook which introduces the various forms the object of a sentence can take but in active ways that the children will enjoy. It also provides an ideal platform to consolidate the children’s understanding of what a sentence is in order to ensure they can use full stops accurately and consistently in their work. There is also an independent task sheet for the children to put their learning into practice and a challenge activity that will help to assess their level of understanding by ensuring they can distinguish between the object of a sentence and an adverbial.

This resource includes a comprehensive teacher Notebook which ensures the children can maintain subject - verb agreement with ‘was’ and ‘were’ before looking at spelling rules for adding ‘ing’. It then teaches them how to write in the past progressive before learning some of the scenarios where they might apply it in their writing. There is also an independent task sheet for the children to put their learning into practice and a challenge activity that ensures they recognise when to use the progressive tense and when to just use the simple past.

This resource includes a teacher Notebook which introduces the different types of determiner through active tasks that the children will enjoy. There is also an independent task sheet for the children to put their learning into practice and a challenge activity that will help to assess their level of understanding as well as ensure that they are secure in the difference between a determiner and a pronoun as the overlap can be confusing for some children.

This resource includes a comprehensive teacher Notebook which introduces the fact that some words can belong to different word classes depending on how they are used in a sentence. There is also an independent task sheet for the children to put their learning into practice and a challenge activity that will help to assess their level of understanding as well as ensure that they are secure in the subject - verb - object structure of a sentence and how they can use this to determine whether a word is acting as a verb or a noun.

This resource includes a comprehensive teacher Notebook resource to introduce the different types of noun to the children - common, proper, abstract and collective - as well as a series of independent student tasks. There is also a challenge task at the end to help assess the student’s level of understanding. The resource could be easily adapted to be used across KS2.

This resource includes a teacher Notebook which introduces the subject and object pronouns, as well as possessive pronouns, through active tasks that the children will enjoy. There is also an independent task sheet for the children to put their learning into practice and a challenge activity that will help to assess their level of understanding as well as promote the importance of using pronouns effectively in their writing to avoid repetition and create links within and across their sentences .

This resource includes a comprehensive teacher Notebook which revisits using commas and semi colons in complex lists. It then goes on to explain how lists can be introduced with a main clause so that a colon can be used too. It then looks at how bullet points should be punctuated according to whether the items in the list are clauses or phrases. There is a challenge activity where the children need to mark and provide feedback on lists with bullet points which will help to assess their understanding.

This resource introduces the fact that clauses have a subject doing a verb before looking at how the addition of a subordinating conjunction can turn a main clause into a subordinate clause. It then focuses on how subordinating clauses can come before, after or be embedded within a main clause and the impact this has on the punctuation within the sentence. The challenge then asks the children to add their own subordinate clause to main clauses, which relies on them being secure on the difference between a phrase and a clause.

This lesson combines the children’s knowledge of using coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions and relative pronouns in order to create multi-clause sentences. At first, the children are challenged to identify and name the type of conjunctions in sentences before moving on to recognising main and subordinate clauses in two clause sentences initially, building to 3-4 clause sentences.
