There - refers to a place or position. For example: The children are playing over there. There is an aeroplane in the sky.

Their-is a possessive adjective. This means it shows belonging. For example: Their lunch was very tasty. The children are wearing their school uniform.

They’re - is a contraction. This means it is a shorter way of saying ‘they are'. For example: They’re playing a game together. They’re running around the track.

Use apostrophes to spell words using the contracted form. 

Review

My Turn, Your Turn  

I would                      I'd

I had                           I'd

What do you notice about the contracted forms? 

 

Here are some more examples of two different pairs of existing words combine to form the same contracted form:

you would          you'd

you had               you'd

 

he had                  he'd

he would            he'd

 

we had                we'd

we would           we'd

Learning

Watch me model how to use the apostrophe for contraction: 

are not – arenot – _____________

does not – doesnot – ____________

What do you notice? 

The apostrophe is in place of a missing letter.

 

Here is another example. 

have not – havenot – _____________

 

 Listen to my sentence and watch me write it: _____________________________________________________________________________

 

will not – willnot – _____________

The word won't is unusual.  It doesn't appear to follow the above contraction rules.  Won’t is short for will not, e.g.   

I will not be late – I won't be late.  

Won't derives from an early contraction in Old English wonnot, which modern English later translated to won't.

2. At what temperature does water change states in degrees Celsius? 

3. How can we use a thermometer to measure when water has changed states?

Litter is just one type of rubbish that is having a negative impact on humans, animals and the environment.

Let’s explore what happens to different types of waste and how we can make a positive difference.

Key Facts

• Litter includes anything that is discarded and not put in bins or waste containers.
  • Litter includes smokers’ materials, fast food items, chewing gums, snack packings, sweet wrappings, soft drink tins, discarded bottles, broken glass along with bits of paper, discarded bags of rubbish, old food and dog waste.
• Litter physically harms people and wildlife.
• Dropping litter costs money and impacts the health and well-being of ourselves, animals and the environment. These costs are avoidable.
  • Broken glass or metal pop tabs that have been left on beaches, in playgrounds, or on pavements often injure children who are playing barefoot. Many animals eat and are entrapped by litter.
  • Litter is carried in every direction by wind or water. Litter gets carried onto our hills into our drains, or rivers and beaches and eventually the sea. Over time it breaks down, poisons animals, pollutes our ecosystems, and damages the environment.
• As much as 80% of the things we throw away could be recycled including cans, paper, plastic, glass and food.
• Cans: Aluminium and steel cans are 100% recyclable.
  • On average the UK uses 16.2 billion aluminium cans. It takes the same amount of energy to make one new aluminium can as it does to recycle 20.
• Paper: It takes 17 trees to make one tonne of paper.
  • In the UK, we use almost 10 million tonnes of paper each year. For every tonne of recycled paper used in place of virgin paper, we can save 380 gallons of oil, 7000 gallons of water, and around 3 cubic metres of landfill space. Currently we recycle around 80% of paper in the UK.
• Plastic: Many types of plastic are recyclable.
  • It can take up to 500 years for plastic to fully decompose. Despite a ‘War on Plastic’ 8 million tonnes of the world’s plastic end up in our oceans each year, killing over 1,000,000 sea creatures.
• Glass is 100% recyclable.
  • The UK currently only recycles around 50% of its glass. As the average UK household uses around 500 glass bottles and jars every year, that’s around 250 glass containers heading to landfill sites or incinerators.
• Food is vital and uses valuable resources to produce.
  • UK households throw away around 7 million tonnes of food every year. At the same time it’s estimated that over 8 million people in the UK are struggling to afford to eat.
  • Whilst over 70% of Earth is covered in water, only 3% of that is freshwater which we can use to drink, wash and in irrigation for farming. It is estimated that 25% of that freshwater supply is used to grow food that we, ultimately, send to the landfill.
• How can you make a difference after learning these key facts? 
• What might you do differently from now on?
