A set of sentences on a worksheet to reinforce how to use semi-colons in place of conjunctions. Can be used as a worksheet in class or a homework/assessment activity. Teaches children to recognise conjunctions and replace them with semi-colons when the 2 parts of the sentence are both main clauses.
An easier and harder hunt activity for teaching agreement between subjects and verbs. Covers using is/are/were/was and other common and less common subject verb combinations. Children have to choose the correct word from a pair to make the sentences grammatically correct.
A powerpoint which focuses on using the common prefixes: re, mis, dis, un, im, in and anti. Starts by recapping what a prefix is. Includes slides where children are asked to choose a suitable prefix to make a new word and use dictionaries to look up what prefixes mean.
An activity spotting conjunctions in sentences and then with an extension of using subordinating conjunctions to start sentences and adding main clauses to subordinate clauses.
A power point on using inverted commas correctly and the rules for setting out speech. An activity follows where children have to predict whether speech sentences are correctly punctuated.
