Hello boys and girls,

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and managed to get outside for some fresh air. I’m going into school again today so here are a few tasks for you to get on with.

Today’s Tasks-

Literacy-

Punctuation-

When you are writing, inverted commas (also called speech marks) go before and after any words that a character says (known as direct speech).

Watch this short video clip (link below) to remind you when to use speech marks.

Now try these activities to check that you understand how to use speech marks correctly.

Activity One

Rewrite this conversation between Dani and her father, adding in the missing inverted commas.

Remember: Whenever a new person starts talking, you must move onto a new line.

How did you get mud all the way up to your knees? Dani’s father asked, with a frown.
I met a dragon in the wood on the way home exclaimed Dani. We went on a big adventure!
I suppose you’ll tell me you were fighting giants next! her father said, with a wink.
And wizards and witches said Dani smiling. We won!

Activity Two

Complete this dialogue’  sheet. (‘Dialogue’ just means a conversation between two or more people.)

Maths-

Have-a-go at these adding and subtraction sums.

I’ll post the answers on tomorrows blog.
