In Year 5, we're very good at reading through our work, spotting errors and making improvements. Can you rewrite this with all the correct punctuation? I will update this post tomorrow, so you can check your answers.
1. speech mark at the start of that and at the end of started 2. speech mark at the start of do and at the end of work 3. speech mark at the start of as and at the end or us
The two children have been working for what felt like hours, Wiping sweat from their eyebrows. They stood back and admired their work. 'Do you think it will work?' asked Elijah the oldest and most responsible of the two. 'Of course!' replied Yui feeling immensely excited at the idea of putting her plan into action. For a moment, silence fell as they inspected the large pile of leaves at their feet. 'As far as I know' continued Yui 'they're due back around 5 o' clock. when they arrive, they'll come straight into the garden looking for us.' Elijah nodded and checked his watch before exclaiming ' that only gives us five minutes to bury ourselves in the pile! we'd better get started.'
