This week, we’ve been learning about contractions. Contractions are when two words are combined a letter(s) is omitted – and replaced with an apostrophe. We use contractions in our writing and our speech to be less formal. Your child should practise spelling these contractions…
- do not/ don’t 6. he will/ he’ll
- will not/ won’t 7. she will /she’ll
- could not /couldn’t 8. they will /they’ll
- should not /shouldn’t 9. has not/ hasn’t
- I am/ I’m 10. is not/ isn’t
We’ll test ourselves on Friday 28 January 2022 to see how we’ve got on.
