In this unit, pupils have learned how to use an apostrophe for contraction when writing sentences as part of a narrative. In 'Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole: Non-Chronological Report', pupils will build on this by using this skill in sentences written within a different text type. 

In 'Otherwise: Narrative Writing', pupils learned how write compound sentences using co-ordinating conjunctions. In this unit, pupils will build on this knowledge by writing complex sentences using a range of jining conjunctions.

In this unit, pupils write their own version of the short animation 'The Lucky Dip'. Pupils write using the narrative structure of opening, build-up, climax and resolution - a more sophisticated structure than beginning, middle, end. This unit can be used for KS1 writing teacher assessment purposes.
