Where have

Last school
holidays, my
brother and I
went to Zoo

and giraffes.
I like birds
but I do not
like giraffes.

How about
you Ipin?

I saw elephants
and tigers. I

elephants.

A conjunction helps us join two short

sentences together to make a longer
one.

The cat is brown.

The cat is fat.

Conjunctio
n

The cat is brown and the

cat is fat.

With more precise writing we have to

think about using other conjunctions.

Read the following

letter with your
partner. Focus on the
underlined words.

Dear Mr Agard and Ms Nichols,

I like the book you wrote called Caribbean dozen. I
say one of the poems while I am skipping. Ive
been saying that poem since I was four but now I
say the version in your book. I look at the book
everyday so that I can learn the last verse. Mrs
Bradley reads us poems when we have finished
our work. Martin likes the one about the chocolate
bars because it is only five words long. I like
writing poems though Im not as good at it as
Sheena. I am better if nobody bothers me. I could
write you a poem about my friends hamster or I
could draw Mrs Bradleys cat for you. I like the
picture of the rabbit and I like the poem too. I want
a rabbit but I am not allowed one.
Love from

Here is a list of the conjunctions

Try and join these simple sentences

using the list of conjunctions to make a

DONE!

complex sentence using
conjunctions.
