English Lo: to begin to learn about contracted words

 In English today we started looking at something really tricky! We were learning about contracted words which are shortened words we use in speech and informal writing. We learnt about apostrophes and using the apostrophe in place of missing letters. It was tricky but we will have lots of practice!

We also had a go at locating the continents on a world map and labelling the world map.  You may like to listen to the continents song at home to help learn the names of the continents.  https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiti-6f_aX6AhWPX8AKHcdIDz0QtwJ6BAgIEAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DK6DSMZ8b3LE%26vl%3Den&usg=AOvVaw0-1CixQd1uagMgXn15d6ID
