16th November
This week, in spellings, we are revising apostrophes. There are three reasons why we use apostrophes:
1. contractions (two words join and there is a missing letter or letters)
2. singular possession (an item or items belongs to one person)
3. plural possession (an item or items belongs to more than one person)
* Remember - if it is a plural, it does not need an apostrophe! eg There were five girls in the group. The boys played football.
shouldn't - I shouldn't be unkind to others.
haven't - They haven't started their art work yet.
you're - You're so kind because you noticed I was upset and asked me to play.
girl's - The girl's flower was pink and orange.
boy's - The boy's football was black and white.
Smith's - That was Miss Smith's chocolate cake.
girls' - The girls' trainers were wet from kayaking.
boys' - The boys' footballs had gone missing.
teachers' - The teachers' milk tasted gross!
