Spelling
This week, will be focussing on the use of apostrophes for contraction. This occurs when we combine two words to be one – usually to change the formality of our writing/language.
I am = more formal
I’m = less formal
As this is revision of a previously taught rule, we’d like children to be confident using all of the below words. This may seem a lot but most of this has been taught since much lower down school. We want children to focus more on the ones they find trickiest. Evidence any revision in homework books. A selection of these words will be tested on Friday 04 October 2019.
| I will/I’ll
I am/I’m do not/don’t I would/I’d had not/hadn’t you are/you’re you will/you/ll |

she will/she’ll is not/isn’t cannot/can’t have not/haven’t they are/they’re |
