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 co-ordinating conjunctions that could be used, with examples of how each one can be used 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.
Which conjunctions are included in this KS2 resource?
- for
- and
- nor
- but

These co-ordinating conjunctions can easily be recalled using the FANBOYS mnemonic.
