Way to Work (Means)

punctuation. Let the children suggest ways of correcting the work.

4. Read a passage from ‘Winnie the Pooh’ by AA Milne with lots of interjections,

e.g. Ow!, Oh!, Sh!

feelings. They are followed by an exclamation mark.

6. Let the children suggest a word they could use to show: -
• Fear - ah!
• Surprise - oh!

• Happiness - hee! hee!
• Being hurt - ouch!

the worksheet.
