Year 4 Homework

Please return by Wednesday 21st October

Literacy

  • Spend no more than 30 minutes completing this part of the homework;
  • Challenge 1 is mandatory, the others are optional.

Challenge 1:

Rewrite these sentences in your book and add an apostrophe of omission where one is missing. An apostrophe of omission shows where two words have been joined.

To be successful you must have neat handwriting, spell correctly and put your apostrophe in the right place!

1. Donttouch my coat.

2. Cant you walk faster?

3. Shouldnt you be at school?

4. Wouldnt you like to sing on the X-factor?

5. Didnt you used to be in 1 direction?

Challenge 2:

Rewrite these sentences in your book and add an apostrophe of possession where one is missing. This apostrophe shows that something belongs to someone.

Remember some apostrophes appear at the end of the end of the s where the noun is a plural and before where the noun is singular.

Singular example:

Brian’s dog was very naughty.

Plural example:

The girls’ pets needed to go to the vets.

Questions:

1. Jimmys cat was very posh!

2. The girls bags were in the PE box.

3. The boys dog was fat and lazy.

4. The boys spent all day playing Minecraft at their friends house.

5. Mrs Oranges son was a famous footballer.

6. Homers job was very important.

7. The Smiths guitars were always well tuned.

8. The cats ran outside because the boys drums fell over.

Challenge 3:

Write five sentences that contain both types of apostrophe (omission and possession)!

For example:

Don’t get the man’s dog angry.
