GrammarApostrophes
What is an apostrophe?
• It looks like a comma ‘ but we place it above the line of writing.• It takes up the space of a letter.
The apostrophe has 2 functions
1. To replace missing letters in contractions. 2. To show that something belongs to someone. (possession)
I amI’m
We areWe’re
He isHe’s
ContractionsWhen two words are joined together in a shorter form.
The apostrophe takes the place of the missing letter(s).
Plural NounsIf the item belongs to more than one person or thing and the plural word ends in s, we put the apostrophe AFTER the s.
The book belonging to the girls - The girls’ book.
If the plural word does not end in s, the apostrophe goes BEFORE the s.
The children’s teacher.
APOSTROPHE CHECK – If you are unsure once you have put a possessive apostrophe, use a finger on your right hand to cover up the apostrophe.
Ask yourself…who owns the room?
If the whole answer is to the left of your finger (The children), you have the apostrophe in the right place. The children’ s room
Have a go at rewriting the sentences using apostrophes in the right place.
1) The pencil case that belonged to Megan.
2) The drink that belonged to Jack
3) The book that belonged to Tiarna.
4) The rubber that belonged to Charles.
Now try contracting these words.
Can not She had They are He will We have
You only use an apostrophe to show possession or that you have missed out some letters.
1.Underline the owner
The car belonging to the family.
The uniforms belonging to the women.
The toys belonging to the children.
The clothes belonging to the girls.
The windows belonging to the houses.
Now rewrite the sentences using an apostrophe
(the first one is done for you)
The family’s car.
2. Create your own
Write three sentences using apostrophes.

Health and Wellbeing
Watch the animation below.https://www.annafreud.org/what-we-do/schools-in-mind/resources-for-
schools/talking-mental-health-animation-teacher-toolkit/
It talks about small feelings and big feelings and talking to someone you trust if you are having a difficult time.
Expect the unexpected – It’s ok not to be ok.
I have ways to look after my mental health.
• I know looking after my mental health is just as important as my physical health.
• I am able to explain to someone else what the ten tools are and how they helped me.
• I know which tools can help me look after my mental health and wellbeing.
Draw or print off a treasure chest picture, or find an object that could be your treasure chest.
Fill your treasure chest with strategies that you think would help you to feel better if you were experiencing difficult or challenging feelings.
e.g. read a book or comic, count to 10 or higher, take a deep breath in and let it out slowly, play an energetic game, go for a walk, listen to music, dance, talk to someone, etc.
Fill it with words, descriptions or pictures.
You are probably using a lot of different strategies already but stopping and recognising them helps us to know how to manage our feelings, especially at difficult times.
Thinking about the different options we have can help us to feel better and to feel less alone with our uncomfortable feelings and emotions.
Session 10: Spectacle Topic: The Lion King Experience
Explore: Write the names of all of the characters in your mini musical and beside them write:• Detailed descriptions of their appearance (shaggy mane, sharp teeth etc)• Personality traits (cunning, wise, angry, proud, kind etc)
Create: A mask or costume for one character to wear.
• Your mask could be 2D (using paper/card and pens/pencils) or it could be 3D (built using things from your recycling!)
• Sometimes actors in The Lion King stage show wear face paints. Your character may have their face painted rather
than wear a mask.
• Your costume could be handmade or you could create a costume using clothing and accessories you already have.
• You could design a costume for a character on paper.
When complete, you can rehearse a scene wearing your mask or costume. You could film your scene or take photos.
