This is a single worksheet with answer sheet. It is from the second set of a Y1-6 collection of primary resources. The objective is closely aligned to the National Curriculum.
The language level of this resource makes it suitable for able KS2 classes and KS3. It comprises an interactive presentation based on a specially written text themed on New Year resolutions. The text and presentation target the following SPaG areas:
SPELLING
-whose/who’s, loose/lose, choose/chose
silent g (gnome, consign, diaphragm )
PUNCTUATION
capital letters for festivals and religions
ellipsis
commas
brackets
GRAMMAR
simple, compound and complex sentences
elision of '‘that’ and ‘whom’ in some complex sentences
Two slides cover how structure can be manipulated to improve writing. There is an example of how the first paragraph of my New Year text moved from simple to compound and then complex sentences, and finally to ‘hidden’ complex sentences.
Plenty of written follow-up work is provided:
SPELLING CROSSWORD (silent g)
PUNCTUATION WORKSHEET (the unit text (stripped of commas and capital letters)
DICTATION : this is a supported activity, where pupils fill the gaps in the text. More able pupils should be expected to write the whole text without the help of the worksheet.
TEST (worth 30 marks. The final question is a writing assignment.)
The pack would be good to use over a whole week , using the spelling, punctuation and grammar sections over consecutive days (possibly as lesson starters), with the dictation on the fourth lesson, and the test taking up the whole of the final session.
If you find this works for you, look in my shop, where you will find several others text-based SPaG resources.

On each of 10 slides of the PowerPoint, there is a Hallowe’en themed sentence with the verb in the present tense. The first task is for pupils to change the verb to the past tense and then write it out.
The sentences are sequential, and create the beginning of a Hallowe’en story. The writing task is simply to finish the story.
Follow-up work could consist of editing and improving the story.
