We have been focusing on our writing and how to make it more interesting.
We started by writing simple sentences. These must contain a noun and a verb. Then we had a go at using some conjunctions and joined our simple sentences together to make a compound sentence.
This was followed by a challenge…writing complex sentences! After writing the complex sentences and using some new conjunctions we found out that rather than just having to put the joining word in the middle, as we do with compound sentences, we could actually put it at the beginning too!
Students have all chosen and typed one compound or complex sentence that they have written.
