Good morning everyone! I hope you are all well, keeping active and, most importantly, feeling happy and optimistic!  I’m missing you all so much and am sending you all a big virtual hug! 💓

Literacy:

Today for our literacy task we will be learning how to use apostrophes in our writing.  Apostrophes are used for two main jobs, showing possession and showing omission.

Apostrophes for possession show that a thing belongs to someone or something. For example: Anna’s book was ripped.

The apostrophe in this sentence shows that the book belongs to Anna.

Apostrophes for omission show where something, usually a letter, has been missed out. For example, you can write ‘haven’t rather than have not.

Today we are going to focus on using contractions (where two words have been joined together to create a shorter word that is quicker to say).

Contractions

I can use apostrophes in a contraction to indicate missing letters.

 

Warm Up:

Watch this video to remind yourself how we use apostrophes to contract two words. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvwwxnb/articles/zcyv4qt

 

Main Task:

Activity 1: Contract

Write the contraction for each set of words.

Activity 2: Expand

Write the words that each contraction stands for.

Activity 3: Explain the Mistake

Explain the mistake in each sentence before writing it out so it is correct.

  1. Its cold out’side today.
  2. I told her I did’nt do it.
  3. The dog chased after it’s ball.
  4. We willn’t be coming for dinner after all.

Activity 4: Contraction Story.

Rewrite ‘It’s My Party!’, using contractions for the highlighted words.

Extension:

Rewrite the sentences below using apostrophes to contract some of the words.

  1. We are off to the park later and Sally said she is coming too. I do not know who else will be there as it was not planned very well.
  2. He did not think the rain would stop. They were not going to make it to the beach. The sun had not shone all day.
  3. I must have been fast asleep because I did not hear you come in. It has been a long day and I have been up since six o’clock this morning.
  4. We have got to rush as she will be arriving at the airport soon. We should have got up earlier this morning. We would have had plenty of time then.
