Contraction Words
When two words are shortened to make one word, an apostrophe (‘) is put in where the letters have been taken out.
For example: can not = can’t (an ‘n’ and the ‘o’ are taken out)
These words are called contractions.
Write the words from which these contractions come.

Scribbler
If you would like to submit something for consideration for the School E-Magazine (Scribbler), please email it to Ms Perdue (email address on front page of the school website).

Ps. I found some more wildflowers this week! Keep an eye out for white or purple clover, poppies and giant daisies which I think are called 'ox-eye daisies' because they are big like the eyes of an ox ! Slán! :)
