Duck on a Bike!

The duck on a bike is dynamic; whirling around the classroom.  Watch how its propeller hat spins!  Is it going to take flight?  Where is it going?  What does it want? It has a dangerous look in its eye!

Watch out!  Is the Duck on a Bike attacking us?  No it is dancing with us.

See how the kids break dance around it, dancing with it? The Duck on a Bike is on a mission. A mission to make us marvel: an imagination mission! What did you imagine?

We have been looking at artefacts and wondering about them. All sorts of strange treasures in money boxes, in little treasure chests, fossils and coins and brooches. Games, kaleidoscopes and spinning things.

We wanted to add detail to our writing, using commas and so we have been practicing this.

What a great tool the comma is. It allows us to add juicy details, extra thoughts, important additions, extraordinary things we had never thought of prior to that moment when, having applied the comma, it all became clear. Phew! Exclamation marks have their part to play as well, don't they. Well, don't they?

Anyway, please keep an eye out on Seesaw for our writing which has a little more punch because we have been applying the subtle, yet powerful comma.
