Spellings for Checking on Friday 2nd December 2022
Mrs Kelleher's Phonics Group
Focus in class: Possessive Apostrophes (singular)
This week, we will be learning how to use singular possessive apostrophes, eg. The dog's ball. Through our daily phonics lessons, we will also be revisiting previous graphemes and developing our reading skills. I have decided not to check the children's understanding of possessive apostrophes; instead, we will focus on spelling some of the Year 2 Common Exception Words. Thank you.
NB. Sometimes, when children learn about possessive apostrophes, they incorrectly use the apostrophe for a plural (eg. The dogs were running) and this is something which I will teach them this week.
