# What is a sentence?

  ![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/blog/BBFBCA43-86BA-4FF2-B5B0-95935FB981CE.jpeg)   24 November 2021   [Class of 2019](https://scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/blog/category/class-of-2019)

We are learning what makes a sentence a sentence.  We know they need capital letters and full stops, and that they need to make sense.  It is much trickier to spot a sentence when the punctuation has been taken away.  Here we are using blu tack to locate the end of sentences.  It was very tricky!!
