Primary 7.2 strengthened their understanding of apostrophes by exploring how they are used to show possession by the plural noun.

We went on a scavenger hunt to find grammatically correct sentences. We also corrected sentences that were written with the wrong use of an apostrophe.

We played games such as Lucky Dip on our board and Missing Words on the Chromebooks.

At the end of the lesson we had a quiz to check how confident we now felt with using apostrophes to show possession by a plural noun. Examples we gave were:

The boys’ cloakroom was empty. 

The children’s classroom remained bright. 

The mangoes’ flesh was soft. 

“If the plural word ends in s already, the  just add an apostrophe.” 

“If the plural of the word doesn’t end in s, like children, then add ‘s. For example, children’s”
