Wow, how quickly has this week gone? Well done to everyone who has submitted work in any format this week, there are definitely more of you getting busy now than before Easter so that’s great.
Today’s tasks:
English: Using apostrophes to show possession (belonging to someone)
If something belongs to Ben, it is Ben’s.
If something belongs to Kate, it is Kate’s
Have a look through the activity sheets – they are from Twinkl so are starred 1,2,3 according to difficulty. Do whichever you feel most comfortable with.
Challenge: We also use apostrophes to omit (leave out) letters e.g. it is becomes it’s. This is called apostrophes for contraction. What other examples of using an apostrophe for a contraction can you think of?
REMEMBER WE DO NOT USE AN APOSTROPHE JUST TO ADD A ‘S’ AT THE END OF THE WORD (TO MAKE IT PLURAL)
Maths: Today I would like you first of all to practise your times tables. When you think you’re ready, have a go at the times table challenge. Ask a grown up to time you – I want to know how long it took you. This will be our task every Friday. Hopefully, your time will improve so it will take you less time each week.
Today I am at the hub school so I won’t be able to answer your emails or respond to your work straight away. I will do it over the weekend so no rush today. Please enjoy this lovely weather in your gardens and have a great weekend.
