Year 5 Spelling/Prose - Using the Bracketing Comma

1. Learn the spellings for next week - words that use a 'hard c'; don't forget you can make this learning fun by using the games at Spelling City. We love Spelling City: it makes something that can be a bit of a chore into an enjoyble learning experience!

2. Write a short dialogue - 1/2 side of A4 - between two Snow Men (or Snow Girls), focusing on your use of the bracketing comma, like this:

"Brrr, I'm cold, Jack," shivered Bob, wishing he was wearing a hat.
