P3 Contractions Work

5th Jun 2026
This week P3 have been learning all about contractions.

  • We searched for them in our reading books.
  • Became word surgeons and cut up words, putting them back together again in their shortened form with sticking plasters.
  • Played the Beanbag Toss game matching contractions and their longer partners.
  • Played contraction dominoes.
  • Played the contraction memory game.

We know did not=didn't, could not=couldn't, he is =he's and loads more. 

Well done P3!
