SPaG: Grammar and Punctuation

1) Presentation: Apostrophes for Contraction and Possession
Revise how apostrophes are used to indicated contracted forms. Explore the difference in using the possessive apostrophe for singular and plural nouns.

2) Presentation: Subjunctive form for Requests and Demands
Revise how this very formal verb form can be used to make requests and commands. Identify when sentences use the subjunctive form, rewrite given sentences to make them more formal and write rules for mythical visitors.

3) Presentation: Sentence Forms
Revise the four sentence forms (statement, question, command, exclamation), their different functions and how to identify and punctuate them. Practise rewriting a sentence to change its form.

Presentation: 5-Minute Revision, Unit 3
Deliver quick, focused revision (apostrophes for contraction and possession, sentence forms, subjunctive form), which requires children only to have whiteboards. Questions are intentionally similar in content and style to the formal KS2 tests.
