In this Stage 3 Phonics bundle you get 5 phonics crosswords and 12 word puzzles. All available separately or in smaller bundles. The word puzzles provide a colourful and tactile approach to practising phonics whilst the crosswords are a great way to get writing and to introduce the crossword format in a simple and accessible way with picture clues and jumbo sized grids.
3 possessive noun activities suitable for Year 6 or similar.
Fill in the missing possessive nouns, both singular and plural, to practise the placement of apostrophes. The nouns are all animals and include a range of plural forms (add s, -y becomes -ies, plural form is the same as singular form as in deer, etc.) to provide varying levels of challenge, and a singular noun which ends in s (where should the apostrophe go?) Plenty of rules covered for discussion and explanation of both apostrophe use and plural formation.
Children write a sentence to match the picture or draw a picture for the sentence to show they can interpret and write both singular and plural possessive nouns.
Children can write the appropriate phrase on mini whiteboards, for example, before the answer is revealed. Slides test children’s ability to use apostrophes for singular and plural nouns focussing on common plurals which do not end in s such as ‘men’ and ‘women’. Further task on the final slide.
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
• 3 PowerPoint files with a total of 48 pages
WHAT PREPARATION IS NEEDED?
• You can print as required, see below
HOW CAN IT BE USED?
• Activities can be used for the whole class on the board or slides printed for different children to solve and explain to the class in pairs/small groups as required.
