Lesson details
Key learning points
- And is a type of joining word.
- A joining word can join two simple sentences.
- Each simple sentence is about one idea and makes complete sense.
- The second idea builds on to the first idea if ‘and’ is used to join them.
- Grammatically accurate sentences start with capital letters and most often end with full stops.

Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to link related ideas together.
Give some non-examples to show what it sounds like when two ideas are unrelated e.g. Dad baked bread and she missed her sister.
In Learning Cycle 1, make sure pupils are given plenty of opportunities to say sentences orally and hear that they make complete sense.
