Use of the ‘Super Sentence’ and ‘Punctuation’ booklets have helped pupils address a lack of variety in their sentences. ‘Up-scaling’ exemplar sentences on the board as a class or in groups has been a useful technique to make pupils aware of how they can improve their writing skills.

Pupil led learning has engaged classes.
