In our English lessons this term we are continuing to practise our spelling, sentence writing, grammar and punctuation so that we can become more accurate and fluent readers and writers.
How to use this workbook
When you are working through the questions in this workbook, remember:
1. To write your answers in your best handwriting in your home learning / exercise / notebook.
Don’t try to answer the questions in boxes in the workbook.
2. “Blue box is book” = The blue boxes are there to show you what to write / say and how to set out your
work / ideas. Anything in the blue boxes is what you write in your book.
Don’t write the black, write the blue – but without drawing the box round it!
3. When you are answering reading comprehension questions, you should always answer in complete
thoughts (full sentences) and use the exact words from the text to prove your answer.
The blue boxes will show you how…

Look at this BBC websitehttps://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zjm6pg8 to learn about more about inverted commas (speech marks)
Remember:
When you are writing, inverted commas (also called speech marks) go
before and after any words that a character says (known as direct
speech).
For example: "I'm hungry," complained Goldilocks.
If another character replies, the rule is to use another set of inverted
commas and put the new person speaking on a new line.
For example:
"There’s some porridge on the stove,” said her mum.
"But I've already had some porridge today!” exclaimed Goldilocks.
Any punctuation goes inside the inverted commas at the end of what the
character is saying.
Now watch this fun clip to make sure you've really understood inverted
commas.
You could even sing and dance along with Mr Smith, if you like!
