SPaG: Grammar and Punctuation

Grammar Presentation: Cohesion within Paragraphs

Grammar Presentation: Time, Place and Cause
Revise separately how adverbs, conjunctions and prepositions can be used to express time, cause, place and manner. Explore how they are inserted into sentences and punctuated.

Grammar Presentation: 5-Minute Revision, Unit 8
Deliver quick, focused revision (cohesion within paragraphs; expressing time, place and cause) which requires children only to have whiteboards. Questions are intentionally similar in content and style to the formal KS2 tests.
