Two activities and a quiz involving identifying correctly and incorrectly punctuated contractions. Pupils must look carefully at the sentences to check if the apostrophes for omission have been put in the correct place for a variety of contracted words.
There are three activities provided:
✽ Contractions Quiz: pupils identify whether each sentence is correctly or incorrectly punctuated. This quiz is great to use as a starter or plenary with the whole class with pupils working independently or in pairs. Each sentence contains one or more contractions, or words that are often confused with contractions, that have been correctly or incorrectly punctuated. Each answer is revealed and explained on the next slide.
✽ Contractions Card Sort: pupils sort the cards into correct and incorrect piles. Great for paired or small group work. Both large and small versions are provided, plus an answer sheet.
✽ Contractions Worksheet: pupils select the correct use of omission apostrophes and spelling of the contractions used in sentences. They also add missing contractions to sentences. Great as an independent assessment task.
✽ Contraction Word Bank: can be used by SEN or lower ability pupils to support them while carrying out these activities. This word bank is also a useful reference sheet for independent writing activities.
As well as common contraction use, these resources also look at the following errors in contraction use:
• Confusing it’s with its
• Confusing who’s with whose
• Confusing they’re with there or their
• Confusing plural nouns with contractions ending with ’s
Answers to all tasks are included.
All documents available as easily editable Word/Powerpoint documents as well as PDFs.
These activities are suitable for years 3, 4, 5 or 6.

Two activities involving identifying correct and incorrect use of semi-colons. Pupils must look carefully at the sentences to check if the semi-colons have been put in the correct place for a variety of sentences.
There are two activities provided:
✽ Semi-Colon Cards/Quiz: pupils sort the cards into correct and incorrect piles. Great for paired or small group work. Large and small cards are provided, plus a presentation to use to go through the answers or to use as a whole class quiz.
✽ Semi-Colon Worksheet: pupils identify whether the semi-colons are correctly punctuating the sentences, and then make any necessary corrections; identify different types of semi-colon usage; add missing semi-colons to sentences and write sentences using semi-colons. Great as an independent task. This worksheet uses different examples to the cards/quiz.
Different ways of using semi-colons are demonstrated, including:
• Using a semi-colon to separate items in a complex list
• Using a semi-colon to separate related main clauses
• Using a semi-colon with a conjunctive adverb
Answers to all tasks are included.
All documents available as easily editable Word or Powerpoint documents and as PDFs.
These activities are particularly suitable for years 5 or 6.
