Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to describe changes that might happen to a garden during the spring season and sets of cards to select phrases about different garden flowers to use when writing lists using commas and colons and practise punctuating lists in different sentences.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to write and punctuate lists about flowers and plants growing in a garden using commas and colons.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to explain and model how to use colons to introduce lists on different topics and themes when they are preceded by a matching independent clause. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
