Grammar: Contractions
We often shorten words by running them together. An apostrophe (‘) is placed where a letter or letters have been left out. This is called a contraction.
Example: If he can’t go, you’ll telephone me at nine o’clock.
Some common contractions are:
He’s = he is
We’ve= we have
Don’t = do not
He’d = he would
What’s = what is
We’re = we are
He’ll = he will
Wasn’t = was not
She’s = she is
I’ve = I have
Isn’t = is not
It’s = it is
You’ve = you have
Can’t = cannot
You’re = you are
Rewrite the highlighted words using contractions.
1. He is a good swimmer.
2. It is a lovely day.
3. I am very lucky to have such friends.
4. I cannot go fishing today.
5. We have enjoyed our holiday.
6. You are all invited to my party on Saturday.
7. It does not matter if it is raining in the afternoon.
8. We are going to visit the new museum as it is not far from here.
9. He did not know the correct answer.

Remember: When we multiply by 10, we move all the digits one place to the left.
Example: 68x10= 680
It is the same with decimals.
Example: 29.7x10= 297
13.42x10= 134.2

Rearrange the sticks, by moving exactly 2 of them, so that the counter is outside the glass.
You will need to think outside the box (or glass) for this one!
SPHE:
This week we are going to remind ourselves about strangers and internet safety.
A stranger is anyone you don’t know, old or young, male or female.
You can’t tell by looking at someone whether they can be trusted or not.
You never go anywhere with a stranger and you never take anything from a stranger unless you have permission from the adult in charge.
You Say No, Get Away and Tell if a stranger does anything to make you feel unsafe.
Can you think of any other rules about strangers?
Many of us are spending more time online at the moment. It is very important that we follow these rules to ensure internet safety. Discuss these rules with your parents.
I hope you enjoyed trying out the new breathing techniques last week.
In our daily lives, our breathing frequently reflects our state of mind. Each thought and feeling expresses itself in the form of relaxation or tension, peace or worry, receptiveness or fear, and triggers a biochemical reaction in the body. In normal speech too, there are many expressions that relate to the relationship between the body, mind and breathing: you catch your breath, something takes your breath away, you wait with bated breath, you take a breather, you come up for air, etc. If you are relaxed, your breathing is regular, deep and calm. However, if you are experiencing turmoil, your breathing becomes shallow, rapid and irregular. We can use breathing techniques to bring about a calm mind.
Remember, your breath goes everywhere with you!
This week I am going to give you three new breathing strategies. These strategies will help you to relax and find a sense of calm and peace when faced with overwhelming emotions or challenging situations.
