Speech Marks

We have been learning to use speech marks in our writing.  We have written some stories which include speech marks to help show off the skill of using speech marks.  Here are some stories written by punctuation champs!

"I'm bored". "Bring the fire wood” said Mum "I did that yesterday" said Bryn. "Can I have a friend over? ...” "Yes” “Can Ned come over? We will go fishing.” When Mum called and we played on the motor bikes! It was fun. I did a jump. Ned didn't  do a jump. I wondered if we would go fishing?  And... We did. We caught an eel. It was a whopper ( I smashed  it ) Finally the day was over. Ned stayed the night. We stayed up to 9:30 and we did Shadow puppets to 11:40.

"Mum, Mum!," yelled Lucia "Can I go to Harper's house?" " No!" yelled Mum. "But, but Harper's my best friend." (Harpers my neighbour] "Still no" said Mum. (I begged my Mum) "Please, please, pretty please.” "Fine!” Said Mum. "Yay, yay!” yelled Lucia. I went outside, went and knocked on Harpers door. "Harper I asked my Mum if I can play with you and she said yes." So we went and played.

“Mum! Can Baxter come?.” “No!” “Why?” “You didn't tidy up last time.”  “But I will this time”.(Baxter my friend) “Okay but this is the last time!”  “Fine” “Yes!” “I'll open the door for him”. “Okay” said Mum.  I waited about 20 minutes, he still wasn't here!. After I waited about 30 minutes he still wasn't here. Five minutes later he was...here. “Yay!” he's here.

"Mum can Stella come over?" " Sure, only when you clean you're bed room." " I'm finished, great Stella's coming " " When is she coming?" " Soon" " Stella's here." " Make sure you tidy up!" " Sure. Stella what do you want to play?” We did gymnastics.   And went swimming. It was awesome. Then she went home to get her blanket!!  She stayed the night.  I told her a scary story. Then she told me one.

Can I play with my friend?
I was so bored. "I'm so bored Mum" I said. Mum (who was already brainstorming.) "Maybe you could..." stuttered Mum "have your friend over!" Mum quickly answered. "Good idea." I said. "But what could I play?"  Now crouching around with my head on the top of my hand. "I know!" I said. "We could play hide and seek! I've got the perfect hiding spot!!” Sprinting to the door of my friends house (which was Eli's house), I won the game. I go home.

One day I said to my Mum 
"Mum!" said Preston. "Mum can I invite my friend?"
Mum said, "Hmm... Okay"
"Yay," I said 
"Or we can go out for an ice cream" 
"Hmm I am going with a chocolate ice cream?"
"Okay," said Mum.
