Communicates clearly in sound basic sentences, beginning to adopt a viewpoint and establish a clear purpose.
Pupils' writing is often imaginative and clear and is beginning to be adapted to different readers. In most writing, there is an attempt to organise ideas with some related points placed next to each other. Within paragraphs/sections pupils attempt to link sentences. There is usually a sense of a beginning and an end to a piece of writing.
Pupils are starting to write longer sentences and sometimes choose from the wider range of connectives that will support this. There is some variation in tenses and verb forms and use of a wider range of punctuation, for example the use of speech marks.
Pupils are beginning to use vocabulary for effect.
