It's not always easy to remember the differences between the uses of colons and semi-colons, even as an adult! That's why we've created this easy-to-follow Year 6 Using Colons and Semi-Colons Teaching PowerPoint. It begins with a recap question about commas that helps to prepare them for their new learning. This is then followed by a range of teaching slides that show children the various uses of colons and semi-colons. These slides are interspersed with questions that allow them to put what they have learnt into practice. Each question is accompanied by an answer slide, providing instant feedback for your learners.

Use on your whiteboard to give your children a lesson they're sure to remember!
