Today in English, we are looking at direct speech as we are going to be including this in our losing tale. Direct speech is the reporting of speech by repeating the actual words of a speaker.

You must include:

• A new line for each speaker.
• Who said it and how they said it.
• “I love watching the children perform their poems!” exclaimed Miss Edenbrow.

Can you correctly punctuate the direct speech.

Reading:

• Do you have a favourite picture book? I really enjoy reading these and our guided reading book is a picture book based on the Stone Age. Find your favourite picture book and a comfy spot to read it. Don’t forget to look closely at the pictures as these can tell the story too.
