Year 5 Grammar Slam - Set A: Daily Grammar Revision and Practice Activities

Do your pupils need to revisit grammar skills regularly?

This year 5 Grammar Slam resource (Set A) will give children the opportunity to revisit key phonics, word, sentence, text and punctuation skills from Appendix 2 of the English national curriculum. An opportunity to apply the skills in this Grammar Slam is included in the application task ‘The Moon’.

Presented as a PowerPoint, the activities can be displayed for the whole class to complete or discuss.

Content covered from English Appendix 2 in this resource:

Word: converting nouns or adjectives to verbs using the suffix -ate
Sentence: modal verbs
Text: adverbials of place
Punctuation: commas after fronted adverbials (revisited from year 4)
Terminology used from year 5: modal verb
Terminology used from previous years: noun, adjective, verb, suffix, adverbial, subordinate clause, comma, fronted adverbial

How could you use Grammar Slam?

Perfect for starters to English lessons to teach or revisit skills previously taught or for display on the board at the beginning of the day during registration, or at any point where there is five minutes to fill, to make productive use of learning time.

This could also be used by pupils in higher year groups to revise key terminology and skills taught in previous years.
