Two worksheets on adverbial clauses that get children to think more deeply about subordinating conjunctions and clauses rather than just identifying them or creating sentences using them. A good mastery tool for those children who are working comfortably within the Year 5 and 6 curriculum.
This lesson acts as an introduction/ recap of synonyms and antonyms as well as focussing on verbs. The activities will help children identify how changing verbs can create effective sentences. Included are all the resources needed for the lesson.
N.B The lesson resources are titled lesson 2 as it is the secondlesson from a bigger sequence of learning.

A lesson/ two lessons based on discussions on being able to write character descriptions. The lesson is based on the mini story of Geri's game that is shown on Literacy Shed with the key element of the lesson focussing on being able to describe one character as if there are two people there.
Included in the presentation is work on adjectives, the link for the clip, questions for children to answer (and answers my children came up with) and a small example of being able to write a description of one character as if he is two different people.
