Apostrophes
Apostrophes can be used for contraction (joining two words together) eg did not- didn’t
or possession (when something belongs to somebody or something)- Miss Clark’s shoes are pink!
This video shows how apostrophes work for possession- https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvwwxnb/articles/zx9ydxs
