Good morning everyone! I hope you all are having a great week and have managed to balance school work with some fun too! ☺️

⚽ If you have a football at your house you could practise these at home drills in your house or garden (though if you are wanting to do them inside make sure to ask an adult first, I don’t want any breakages on my conscience!). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4KCpzTkHto

Literacy:

Last week for our literacy task we were learning how to use apostrophes in contractions.  This week we will be looking at how to use apostrophes to show possession.

An apostrophe can be used to show that one thing belongs to or is connected to something. This is called a possessive apostrophe.

Let’s take a look at some examples:

1. The cat’s tail was fluffy.

Cat is a singular noun so you need to add an apostrophe and “s” to show that the tail belongs to the cat.

2. Charles’ cat was naughty.

Charles is a singular noun that ends in an “s”, so you need to add an apostrophe to show that the cat belongs to Charles.

3. The brothers’ feet were muddy.

Brothers is a plural noun that ends in an “s” so you don’t add another “s” after your apostrophe. You can just add an apostrophe to show the feet belongs to the brothers.

4. The children’s toys were broken

Children is a plural noun but it doesn’t end with an “s” so you need to add an apostrophe and “s” to show that the toys belong to the children.

 

Thursday 30^th April

Apostrophes

I can use apostrophes to show possession for a singular noun.

 

Warm Up:

Watch this video to remind yourself how we use possessive apostrophes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvwwxnb/articles/zx9ydxs

 

Main Task:

Activity 1: Which Word?

Choose the correct word from the word bank to complete each sentence.

Activity 2: Punctuate

Punctuate the sentences below by adding an apostrophe in the correct place.

Activity 3: Rewrite

The sentences below do not contain a possessive apostrophe.  Rewrite them so that they do then add in an adjective to describe the noun. For example if the sentence was ‘The bag belonging to Grandma’, that sentence could be rewritten to read ‘Grandma’s bag is heavy.’

Activity 4: Explain the Mistake

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

Extension:

Complete the quizzes at the bottom of the BBC Bitesize clip you watched for the warm up task. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvwwxnb/articles/zx9ydxs

Finally, lets all join together to wish Captain Tom a very happy 100^th birthday!  What an amazing achievement to have raised over 29 million pounds for the NHS during this difficult time.  Did you know he has received over 125,000 birthday cards from all over the world?  Below is a picture of his grandson Benjie with just some of them! My question is though – how ever will he get round to reading them all! Happy birthday Captain Tom! 🥳🎂

Have a wonderful day,
