Year 5 – Summer Block 2 – Cohesion – Relative Clauses Notes and Guidance • Conjunctions have been covered in Year 3 and will be used throughout this block. • In the previous step, children learnt about using relative pronouns to replace nouns in sentences. • This step will recap the work covered In Year 5, Autumn Block 2, when children will be recognising and using relative clauses as a type of adverbial clause within sentences and paragraphs in both fiction and non-fiction texts. • Adverbial clauses describe nouns and pronouns and start with the relative pronouns who, whom, whose, which, that and what. • In this step, children will practise using relative clauses to vary sentence structure and length as well as clarifying meaning, for example: Joe caught the rabbit that had escaped. That identifies the actual rabbit that escaped. Focused Questions • • What is the relative pronoun who referring to? Identify the relative clauses in this paragraph. © Classroom Secrets Limited 2019

Varied Fluency 1 As usual, Sam was down at the beach looking for shells. His collection, which he displayed at home, was made up of hundreds of beautiful, precious shells. His mother, who also loved the beach, was more than happy to have pieces of it brought into her house. Mum, who was reading on a blanket not too far away, was trying to relax after a particularly stressful week at work. She was also keeping her eye on Sam who was busy looking for more shells. Unusually for Sam, he had his back to the water which was lapping gently onto the sandy beach. Had he been looking out to sea, he would have seen it coming. Large, noisy seagulls had been circling overhead in the clear, blue sky. However, the loud squawking Sam was so used to had stopped suddenly. An uneasy quiet hung over the beach. Something wasn’t right. . . In the first paragraph, does the relative pronoun ‘which’ refer to Sam, the collection or the beach? © Classroom Secrets Limited 2019

Application 1 Jonesy rode into town on a horse that he had won during a game of cards. The horse, who was far too old to be walking long distances now, was looking forward to a drink. Their journey across the hot, barren wastelands had been an interesting one. Jonesy discovered that the saddle, which didn’t even fit the horse, was hugely uncomfortable. Whilst the horse, who knew his own mind only too well, decided that the only pace he could manage was a very slow walk. This was mainly because he knew it irritated his rider. So far, their partnership had been an unhappy one. The town where they had just arrived held a horse fair on the first Monday of every month. Jonesy had already decided to sell the cantankerous old nag for something younger and fresher. The horse, who just wanted a quiet life, was more than happy about this. Neither of them could have guessed what was about the happen next. . . Change the relative clause in the first sentence to give different information about the horse. © Classroom Secrets Limited 2019
