Relative Clauses Activity - Beowulf Themed

Teach your pupils to use relative clauses (with pronouns) to meet the year 5 and 6 expected standards for writing in English. This resource is for teaching the skill practically and uses the popular legendary tale, Beowulf as a basis for the sentences. You have a starting sentence and then the children cut the paper and insert their own relative clause where they think it should go.

There are different versions to help with scaffolding the task for different ability children -with some sentences with the relative pronoun clause starters already inserted and example help sheets given too.

Additionally, there is a challenge sheet which is for children to write their own relative clauses by editing existing sentences and the task to identify where the relative clauses are in the sentence.
