Revise how verbs indicate tense, exploring examples of simple, progressive and perfect forms both in present and past tenses. Discuss the shades of meaning created through selecting different forms.
Presentation: Cohesion between Paragraphs
Define cohesion before revising the function of paragraphs. Explore how adverbials can create links between paragraphs, giving information about time, place and number, and how topic sentences can be used to orientate the reader further.

Deliver quick, focused revision (verbs and tense, cohesion through adverbials, word classes) which requires children only to have whiteboards. Questions are intentionally similar in content and style to the formal KS2 tests.
