Year 1 – Grammar Task
This week we are going to learn about punctuation at the end of sentences.
We already know that we add a full stop (.) to show that a sentence has finished, like this:
Buzz and Woody are best friends.
We also learnt how to ask questions and use a question mark (?) at the end, like this:

Look at the picture:
I am not a toy!
I am a real space ranger!
Think about how Buzz would say this sentence. I imagine he would be angry.
If he was just saying it as a statement with no real feeling we would use full stops /./ but because he looks angry and would be shouting we use the exclamation marks /!/as the punctuation for the sentence to show this.
Your activity is to look at the sentences to follow and decide whether they need a full stop or an exclamation mark.
Activity 1
. or !
I am going to the zoo_
That was an amazing party_
We had pizza for our tea last night_
Hey that’s my toy_
I can’t wait for my birthday_
It is my swimming lesson tomorrow_
Activity 2
Look at the follow pictures and finish the sentences with what the characters might be saying by copying them out and adding an exclamation mark. Here is my example:
Hey, that’s my spot on Andy’s bed!
Now your turn:
Oh no, it’s Andy’s _
Help, I’m going to _
I do not like to be _
It is too crowded here and I _
The unicorn flashed her eyes and turned around and Sugarlump’s wish _
