Today we will learn about statements and exclamations.

Task 1: Can you decide whether these are statements or exclamations.  The punctuation marks will give you a clue!

• Dragons exist only in stories.
• "How lucky they were to escape the dragon!"
• After break we have our Maths lesson.
• What a hard maths problem this is!
• The capital of China is Beijing.
• The cat is meowing because she is hungry.
• How cold it is today!

Task 2:  Write either a statement or exclamation for each picture (or challenge yourself to write 2 sentences for each picture). Don't forget to include either a full stop or an exclamation mark at the end.  There is a pdf below if you want to print a worksheet out.
