In KS2, pupils are expected to use a range of co-ordinating and subordinating conjunctions to create multi-clause sentences. This display pack includes posters for a range of subordinating conjunctions that could be used, with example sentences that contain each conjunction and a challenge activity.
The posters could be used as part of a working wall, encouraging pupils to answer the challenge questions and add examples of sentences they have read or written themselves that include each conjunction to create an interactive display.
