I have had a look through our story, 'The Enormous Crocodile' and I have chosen some speech sentences.

Here are some examples:

“Run away quickly. The crocodile is playing a trick,” shouted the Roly Poly Bird. 

The Enormous Crocodile said, “I am so hungry now I want to eat six children.” 

The speech is in different places!

What is the difference here?
 

Activity
Write some of your own speech sentences in your English books.

Use the examples above to help you.

Today we are going to look again at direct speech in our story - 'The Enormous Crocodile' by Roald Dahl.

Let's look at some more examples from the story.

Speech has been used a lot in this story. Why?

I am going to have a go at writing some direct speech for my story, using my character and Humpy Rumpy.

I will add this to our learning wall.

Your turn!
You need to write two direct speech sentences in your English books.

Use your new character and Humpy-Rumpy.

Remember
Capital letters, full stops (or exclamation/question marks), inverted commas and who said it!

LC: To be able to understand the commutative law of addition and form a family of addition and subtraction facts.
