TheSchoolRun.com closure date
As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.
As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.
In particular, we suggest downloading:
- Learning packs
- All the worksheets from the 11+ programme, if you are following this with your child
- Complete Learning Journey programmes (the packs below include all 40 worksheets for each programme)
You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.
We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Correcting punctuation
Maisie has written a letter to her favourite author, but she has forgotten all the punctuation! Can you go through her letter and add in capital letters and full stops? You may also need to include some exclamation marks, question marks and commas.
Why do primary school children need to learn punctuation?
Punctuation is like the road signs of language — it helps us understand where to pause, stop, or get excited when we read or write.
Here's why it's important for children in primary school to learn punctuation:
- Punctuation marks help make writing clear. Without them, sentences can get confusing.
- When kids read, punctuation tells them how to understand the flow of the story or text. It shows when someone is asking a question, making a statement, or showing excitement.
- Learning punctuation early helps children write in a way that others can easily follow, which will help them as they grow and write longer pieces.
- Knowing punctuation helps children read with the right rhythm and tone, making stories more fun and helping them become better readers.
How will this worksheet help your child with their punctuation?
This punctuation worksheet was created by an experienced primary school teacher and provides your child with a fun, simple practice session that they can complete at home. It includes tips for parents and answers to the activity.
