Tuesday 17th May Reflection: I choose a green traffic light because I liked working on punctuation and apostrophes. My favourite was working on the dragon one above. I hope I get to do this again.

**Spelling and vocabulary**

1. You must always write down new words that you have come across and put these in your vocabulary section with their meanings underneath. You should be doing this on a daily basis.

2. Every time you spell a word incorrectly you must write it down in your spelling area - you must have 15 words a week so you can write words from your vocabulary list as well. You will have a week to learn these words and you will then be tested on them in your literacy program.


 * Belonging apostrophes & contractions - remember you can use your homework on apostrophes to refer back to.**

Reflection Thursday 5th May: I choose a green traffic light because I like apostrophes. I really enjoy apostrophes they are so interesting, just a little symbol ' and it can change a word to something different.

Reflection Wednesday 4th May: I choose a green traffic light be cause I'm having a good start to term 2. It's amazing how you can use apostrophes to make one word mean something else, e.g. family's meaning one add an apostrophe at the end and make families meaning more than one family.
