“Oh yes please,” said Jenny.

The two friends had a good chat on the way to the park about their summer.  They were both happy that the weather was so lovely. However, Katy was sad that her little sister had been taken to the farm as a special treat.  She had been naughty and Mum was cross with her.

I found it a bit tricky Mum had to help me choose some words. This is one of my sentences.

Katy suggested that they should go and buy some lollies.

Hi Miss Kinsey

Benjy enjoyed this work! His little brain was working over time! Here are some words Benjamin chose: hottest, delicious, shouted, questioned! So one of his sentences was Katy shouted shall we go and get some ice creams!

Hi Benjamin and Mrs King!

I am really glad that you enjoyed this activity, Benjamin. Giving our brain a good work out is a very good thing to do indeed.

'Shouted' is a brilliant word to use and a lot better than 'said'

There is a poem called 'Don't Say Said' which is magnificent. If you copy and paste this address into your browser you will be able to read it:
