Prepositions Presentation

KS2Gems 2020 has crafted a comprehensive presentation for Year 3 students to enhance their understanding and usage of prepositions in the context of time, place, and cause. This educational resource serves as a versatile collection of activities that can be tailored to the specific requirements of any class. Teachers are advised to use the PowerPoint in segments, each containing a mix of whole-class instruction, group and paired exercises, and opportunities for individual practice. The degree of assistance provided during these activities is left to the discretion of the class teacher, allowing for flexibility in teaching approaches.

The presentation is neatly organized into sections, starting with a general overview of prepositions, which are words like 'at', 'over', 'by', and 'with', typically followed by a noun phrase. These prepositions can indicate various relationships such as time, position, direction, possession, means, and accompaniment. Specific sections dedicated to time prepositions, place prepositions, and cause prepositions delve deeper into each category. They include common examples, such as 'on', 'in', 'at', 'since', 'for', and 'ago' for time prepositions, and 'in', 'on', 'by', 'next to', and 'beside' for place prepositions. The presentation also provides a variety of examples and exercises to help students identify and use these prepositions correctly in sentences, thereby strengthening their grammatical skills and enhancing their writing abilities.
