Correct the punctuation task

The writing below is filled with punctuation mistakes. Go through and correct the incorrect punctuation. Once you have completed it, check your work against the answers on the page below.

 

Max and Lily were best friends, they did everything together. One day, they decided to explore the old house at the end of their street.

“Let’s go inside,” Lily whispered excitedly, Max wasn’t so sure, the house looked spooky, but he didn’t want to seem scared.

As they stepped inside, the floor creaked loudly. Dust danced in the sunlight coming through the broken windows. Suddenly, they heard a strange noise.

“What was that?” Max asked, his voice shaking a little. “I don’t know,” Lily replied “but it came from upstairs, let’s check it out.”

Slowly, they climbed the stairs, each step making a loud creak. They reached a door that was slightly open.

“Should we go in?” Max whispered.

Before Lily could answer, a loud BANG echoed through the house. They both screamed and ran back down the stairs as fast as they could.

Outside they gasped for breath, their hearts pounding. “Did you see that?” Max asked. “I think the wind slammed the door shut.”

“Maybe,” Lily said “or maybe the house isn’t empty after all.”

 

 

Correct version.

Once you have completed correcting the punctuation, remove the black highlight from the text below and check your answers.

The bright array of colours from the aurora fill the bright night sky filled with bright stars. The tent under the night sky is filled with a light making it a bright yellow. The ranges of mountains covered in a layer of snow cover the horizon. The air is peaceful and the night sky has a nice dreamy look. It is very quiet and calm. The bright lights from the sky guide people as they come by. The dark midnight sky is filled with beautiful bright stars.

Thursday The Snow Globe Secret

While exploring an old attic, twins Mia and Jake found a dusty snow globe with a tiny Christmas village inside. When Mia shook it, the snow began to fall—not just inside the globe, but all around them. Suddenly, they were standing in the village.The twins Mia and Jake were shocked then they looked back inside the snow globe and it was the old attic they were in just a few seconds ago so the tried to shake it again but they couldn’t get back to the old attic.After a few more failed attempts of shaking the globe they started to just explore the place and they found out that they were in the north pole with elves everywhere and lots of reindeer. After they figured out they were in the north pole they started to look around and went into this huge workshop with elves making a bunch of toys and presents getting ready for christmas in a few days. When they saw all the elves making toys Mia and Jake wanted a turn too so Mia went to make a stuffed reindeer and Jake wanted to make a snow globe with reindeers in it. After they finished making their souvenirs they decided to keep looking for more things to do so they walked outside and immediately saw a giant mountain with people sledding down the mountain so they went to the shop to get a sled and they got two for free. So they went up the mountain on a chairlift and once they got to the top of the mountain they decided to race so they got ready and they went off it was so much fun and there were lots of small jumps and trees in the way so they had to dodge all of the trees and jump on all the jumps in the end Mia won and they were going to go sledding again but then they heard a bunch of commotion and santa was there so the twins went and said hi to santa then decided that they need to head back home so they tried shaking the snow globe and it worked they were back in the old attic and Mia and Jake lived happily ever after.

Last Monday morning room 678 watched our immersion assembly on the big screen in the middle of our classes. In the beginning our principal Mr Burt talked about our topic for the term which is Karawhiua and it means give it heaps and like every term every team makes a small movie or play that has something to do with our inquiry topic.

 The first movie was made by team one and they made a movie about one of the teachers in team one who is trying to train for the Olympics even though she is not eating healthy or doing much exercise but she is trying to stop and she is wanting to compete in the Paris 2024 Olympics and in the end she actually won first place and that was the end of team ones movie.

 

 Then after that they congratulated team one it was team twos movie for team twos movie was a movie about the cross country and there was a girl who was over confidant and also won but she never trained and didn’t eat healthy and there was another girl who trained a lot and ate really healthy to win the cross country then when the day came the over confident girl called Hare-ietta was in the lead then she stopped and took selfies and videos then she got a stitch. Then the other girl called Tortiessa got ahead of Hare-ietta and she won and that is the end of team twos movie. After that Mr Burt and a prefect congratulated team two then it was team threes turn.

 

 For the team threes movie the whole team sang a song about staying healthy. Then the principal congratulated them then it was time for team 4. In team four’s movie the teachers of team four made a movie about eating healthy and they were talking about all their healthy foods for lunch. Then the principal and prefects congratulated our team then it was team fives turn. Team five’s team leader made a video about learning how to juggle and a bunch of people didn’t think he would be able to do it but in the end he actually learnt and did it 10 times in a row at the end and that was really cool. Then the prefects and Mr Burt congratulated them one last time and then it was the end and we all went back to class.

Overall this task was really easy and simple to do because I knew the story really well. Anyways please leave a positive comment down below this blog post and I hope you like it 🙂

 

Once upon a time….. There was a family of 4 and they were living in a small house so their mum said that it is time for them to find a new house for them to live in so the three little pigs left the house and went to go find a new house. The three little pigs walked for hours and hours until one pig stopped and was very tired so he thought it was a good place to build a house so he looked and found some straw and made a house out of straw. The other two pigs kept walking until another pig was out of breath and decided to build his house around where he was standing. The pig looked around and saw some sticks and decided to make a house out of sticks. The last pig kept walking and found a good spot and found some bricks to make a house out of the bricks. After a while a wolf came around and wanted to eat some pigs so he went to the first house and he said “little pigs little pigs let me come in” and the first little pig said “not by the hair on my chinny chin chin” so the big bad wolf huffed and puffed and blew the first house down. The first little pig ran to the second little pig and then the wolf came and said  “little pigs little pigs let me come in” and the second and first little pigs said “not by the hair on my chinny chin chin.”Then the second little pig and the first little pig ran over to the third little pig and then the big bad wolf came and said “little pigs little pigs let me come in” and the little pigs said “not by the hair of my chinny chin chin” so the big bad wolf huffed and puffed and tried to blow the house down but the house didn’t budge so he climbed on top of the roof and climbed down the chimney the three little pigs heard him up on the roof so they lit the fire then when the wolf fell down and then the wolf fell down and burnt his butt and then he ran out of the house and they lived happily ever after. THE END.
