Spelling task

Play on spelling shed for 15 minutes 

English task 

Today we are going to focus on some more features of informal writing. I have noticed that in some of your work, some of you are forgetting to use apostrophes. This lesson is going to be especially important for you! Begin by reading this PowerPoint about the use of apostrophes for contractions. 

Look at this post about this Mexican spider. Find words that have been contracted together. 

You can see where the words that have been contracted together have used an apostrophe to show where the missing letters are. There is a transcript of the document here. Highlight the words that have been contracted and think about which two words have been combined and which letters are missing. 

Now do the same for this extract about ice cream for dogs. Look for the words that have been contracted together and add the apostrophe where it's needed (there are 7 you need to find!) the answers are here. 

Next I would like for you to complete the tasks on this sheet. You can write them into your book or mark them on the sheet if you have a printer.
