Resource Collection Effective Writing
These bright, appealing grammar worksheets are a great help for practising and revising the use of idioms at KS2. There are three worksheets in total, covering the following five sections – ‘understand’, ‘challenge’, ‘test’, ‘explain’ and ‘apply’.
Students identify idioms within a series of sentences
Students suggest two idioms appropriate to the situation shown within an image prompt
Student match three idioms to their correct definitions, and write their own definitions for a further three idioms
Students choose from one of three idioms and proceed to analyse its meaning, appropriate use and effectiveness
‘These people are testing a car which can also drive through water [reference to accompanying image prompt]. How do you think they feel? Write a conversation between these three people. Include 3 idioms. These can come from your additional idioms sheet, or from the challenges on these sheets.’
A phrase or saying that has come to assume a particular meaning over time – sometimes one seemingly at odds with what its nouns, adjectives and/or verbs might suggest
Pupils should continue to add to their knowledge of linguistic terms, including those to describe grammar, so that they can discuss their writing and reading.
