The Mighty Comma!

Recently we've been looking at how important commas are in our writing. We looked at a book called 'Eats, Shoots & Leaves' by Lynne Truss and soon realised that missing out or misusing commas can be a matter of life or death! For example: 'Let's eat, Grandpa' and 'Let's eat Grandpa' have very different meanings, especially for Grandpa!

Our class has come up with some wonderful pictures to illustrate how important commas are - we hope you enjoy them! (Best viewed in full-screen!)
Part One: Part Two: If you cannot see the children's work, you may need to download the latest version of Flash - you can get it for free here.
