Olympic Granny 23.11.16

When Grandma goes for gold in
The Olympic games this year,
She’ll laugh at her competitors
And make them quake with fear.

She’s ninety-nine years old
But, in athletics, she’s been blessed.
The trouble is she can’t decide
Which sport she plays the best.

She’s such an ace at archery.
She’s queen of the canoe.
She’s tough to top at taekwondo
And table tennis too.

She dominates the diving board.
She tromps the trampoline.
At lifting weights and wrestling
She’s the best you’ve ever seen.

She speeds across the swimming pool
To slake the summer heat.
On BMX and mountain bike
She simply can’t be beat.

She’s highest in the high jump,
And a champ at hammer throwing,
Magnificent in marathons,
Remarkable at rowing.

She beats the best at boxing.
At the pole vault she is peerless.
Her fencing is the finest;
She is positively fearless.

She’s masterful at basketball,
She truly rules the court,
And equally incredible
At every other sport.

But what we find astonishing
And something of a shocker
Is how she wins all contests
With her wheelchair and her walker.

Adding capital letters

Adding capital letters.

Read the story and add capital letters where they are needed.

The Mojave Desert.

Imagine a place where the ground is scorching hot by day but cold at night. The Mojave Desert is like that. It is one of the hottest and driest places on earth. There is very little water and almost no trees for shade. The Mojave Desert covers a large area in the United States of America. It includes parts of California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah. It is so dry in this desert that the town of bagdad once had no rain for almost 2 years! Death Valley in the desert has America's highest temperatures.

Revising punctuation

Correct the punctuation in this story. Look for missing capital letters, full stop, quotation marks, commas, question marks, and apostrophes.

Michael was digging in the garden, when he uncovered a strange thing. It was the shape of a hen’s egg. But much larger with a groove down the middle. Cradling it in his hands, he went inside to show his sister Hannah.

“ Look what I found “ said Michael.

“ Probably a fossil  “ said Hannah without looking up from her book, doubt it’s not made of rock.

“ I’m busy reading go and show Mr Moore.”

So Michael took the egg to their neighbor, and knocked on the door. The door opened by a toothless old man with a bent back and two walking sticks.

“Excuse me.” said Michael “ But can you tell me what this is about?”

“What’s that you say?” “Speak up a bit loudly.” said Mr Moore.

“What is this.” shouted Michael. Looking confused and annoyed.

The old man started to touch the egg and said “ It’s a seed”

Full stops

Here is a short story with all the full stops taken out. Read through the story and decide where to place the full stops. Remember that each sentence must be complete and make sense.

Re write the story with full stops, and capital letters at the start of a new sentence.

Once there was a sentence that decided to run away from a book.T he sentence ran down the page as fast it could go and on it went using the same words over and over again. Nothing could stop the runaway sentence because the writer had forgotten to put in any full stops. Luckily the student who had been reading the book knew what to do he pointed his pencil at the runaway sentence and fried full stops at it suddenly the sentence fell onto the page in eight pieces it had turned into a short story.
