Hi Tulips,
Here are your most recent spelling lists. Both groups have their next spelling test on Friday 13th November.
Miss Hogg’s Spelling Group
| Spelling Test: Friday 13th November |
| Spelling rule: Possessive apostrophe with plural words |
| The apostrophe is placed after the plural form of the word; –s is not added if the plural already ends in –s, but is added if the plural does not end in –s (i.e. is an irregular plural – e.g. children’s). Note: singular proper nouns ending in an s use the ’s suffix e.g. Cyprus’s population. |
| girls’
boys’ babies’ children’s men’s mice’s foxes’ fairies’ sheep’s |
| Common Exception Words:
build complete fruit |
Mrs Barnett’s Spelling Group
| Spelling Test: Friday 13th November |
| Spelling rule: Contractions |
| In contractions, the apostrophe shows where a letter or letters would be if the words were written in full (e.g. can’t – cannot). It’s means it is (e.g. It’s raining) or sometimes it has (e.g. It’s been raining), but it’s is never used for the possessive. |
| can’t
didn’t hasn’t it’s I’ll couldn’t wouldn’t shouldn’t she’ll |
| Common Exception Words:
old gold cold |
