Important update from TheSchoolRun

For the past 13 years, TheSchoolRun has been run by a small team of mums working from home, dedicated to providing quality educational resources to primary school parents. Unfortunately, rising supplier costs and falling revenue have made it impossible for us to continue operating, and we’ve had to make the difficult decision to close. The good news: We’ve arranged for another educational provider to take over many of our resources. These will be hosted on a new portal, where the content will be updated and expanded to support your child’s learning.

What this means for subscribers:

  • Your subscription is still active, and for now, you can keep using the website as normal — just log in with your usual details to access all our articles and resources*.
  • In a few months, all resources will move to the new portal. You’ll continue to have access there until your subscription ends. We’ll send you full details nearer the time.
  • As a thank you for your support, we’ll also be sending you 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep.

A few changes to be aware of:

  • The Learning Journey weekly email has ended, but your child’s plan will still be updated on your dashboard each Monday. Just log in to see the recommended worksheets.
  • The 11+ weekly emails have now ended. We sent you all the remaining emails in the series at the end of March — please check your inbox (and spam folder) if you haven’t seen them. You can also follow the full programme here: 11+ Learning Journey.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for being part of our journey it’s been a privilege to support your family’s learning.

*If you need to reset your password, it will still work as usual. Please check your spam folder if the reset email doesn’t appear in your inbox.

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.
