Starting Points: Beegu

Starting Points are written to help you plan book-based units of work. In this set based on Beegu by Alexis Deacon you’ll find ideas to support spoken language, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary and spelling. This Starting Points resource will give you everything you need to plan a beautiful book-based unit of work for children in Year 2.

In this set of Starting Points, you will find planning to support the following grammar objectives:

• Formation of adjectives using suffixes such as –ful

• Use of the suffix –ly in Standard English to turn adjectives into adverbs

• Subordination (using when, if, that, because) and co-ordination (using or, and, but)

• Correct choice and consistent use of present tense and past tense throughout writing

• Use of capital letters, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks to demarcate sentences

• Apostrophes to mark where letters are missing in spelling

In this pack we have included the following resources:

• Adding -ed resource

• Apostrophes for omission resources

• Emotion Graph

• Home Away Home planing sheet

• Subordinate conjunctions activity
