Apostrophes - SPLT Group 1

We are learning to use apostrophes in the correct place.

Our prior knowledge:

• Used in shortened words = taking out a letter and putting in apostrophes
• Usually used before an ‘s’

Our Key Questions…

• What are the main rules for apostrophes?
• Where are apostrophes used?
• Why do we use apostrophes?
• When do we use apostrophes?

The Task:

Use our search skills to find and read about the rules regarding apostrophes.

Decide on the important rules and write into our own words. Add these rules to our personal SPLT document.

Create a (short!!!) Google presentation for the rest of the class that teaches them about the apostrophe rules.

A great website we have found is...BBC Skillwise Bitesize

SPLT - Singular into Plurals

I am learning how to make words into plurals.

Plural = words that mean 2 or more of something

Singular words = there is only one!

Singular = goose

Plural = geese

S = mouse

P=mices? no it’s mice

S=fish

P=fish

Can you think of any others?...

Questions…

• What rules are there about using plurals to spell words?
• Do we need to know all the plural spelling rules or just a few?
• What are the most important rules?
