We finished reading the extract from the story Cheat! on pages 54 to 57, and we discussed the words and phrases that the writer, Judy Waite, had used.  We found some contractions in the story.  Contractions are words that use apostrophes to show that letters have been missed out.  We thought of our own sentences containing contractions.  My examples are on the board above.  I have coloured the contractions to highlight them.  Do you know what each contraction stands for?  It's can mean it is or it has.
