Morning everyone! I hope you enjoyed your long weekend!  What did you all get up to?  I had a family zoom call on Friday night then painted some stones on Saturday seeing as the weather was dreadful! 🎨 🖌

Did you know that in the North Lanarkshire Sumdog contest we ranked 39^th? That’s amazing!  Out of all the primaries in all the schools we managed to get on the leaderboard!  In addition to that,  we were the second highest in the school! You should all be dancing like this just now ⬇️

Huge well done also must go to MM who ranked 77^th out of every primary pupil in North Lanarkshire! 👏🏼🥳

Remember that I will award 200 Sumdog coins to the top 5 people who have answered the most Sumdog questions accurately today. Good luck! 💰 🍀

Literacy:

It’s a Tuesday so today must be a handwriting day!✍🏼

 

Tuesday 26^th May

Handwriting

I can use joined writing to write legibly and consistently.

 

Warm Up:

Today’s handwriting is a recap of possessive apostrophes.  We went over them recently so they should still be fresh in your mind.  Watch this video to remind you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNFPnVz7JB4

Can you work out which sentence is punctuated correctly? 🤔

Main Task:

Now we have had a reminder of possessive apostrophes, lets move on to the main task!  Can you write the 6 sentences, inserting the apostrophes into the correct place.  Remember to concentrate on your joins, letter height and letter spacing.

 

Extension:

If you would like some extra handwriting practise today, why don’t you practise joining to the letter a.

Remember, we write a line of each word, then circle or underline the one which we think is the neatest.
