understand how embedded clauses can expand the variety of complex sentences to elaborate, extend and explain ideas

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• investigating how the choice of conjunctions enables the construction of complex sentences to extend, to elaborate on and to explain ideas; for example, “The town that was flooded suffered extensive damage.”
• creating complex sentences with embedded clauses to expand noun groups; for example, “Hamish studied the rock samples that he had collected on the excursion, to complete his report.”
