Year 2 Introducing Possession

Teacher Specific Information

This Year 2 GPS Introducing Possession activity checks pupils’ understanding of using apostrophes for possession. Children will select a sentence that is punctuated correctly, select the correct words to complete sentences, drag and drop an apostrophe to punctuate a sentence, select the correct punctuation to complete a sentence, and drag and drop ticks to identify which sentences are punctuated correctly.

This activity is linked to the Classroom Secrets Year 2 GPS scheme of work.
Questions in this activity are based on the content in Spring Block 2 Steps 3 on the Classroom Secrets website, where you can find more resources.
