Friday 24th April 2020 – Year 4 Grammar Task
Morning Year 4,
Thank you to those who have worked hard on the daily tasks this week. I was very impressed with the non – chronological reports I have read. Wow. I thought we would finish off the week with some Grammar. We are looking today at apostrophes. They are used for contractions, where words are shortened or for possession when something belongs to someone.
If you prefer to work on paper then send us a photo of your work to yearfour@lingsprimary.org.uk
or type you answers with numbers you answers match to in the comments part of this blog.
Enjoy your weekend and look forward to blogging with you next week.
