Tipply Primary School’s girls’ football team is preparing for the match of
the year against another school. Billie is writing about the team for the
school newspaper. However, she’s forgotten all her apostrophes.
First, can you add the correct possessive apostrophe to the blue
words in Billie’s notes? Next, see if you can rewrite the sentence using a
possessive determiner instead of the blue word. The first one has been done for you.

Their strips are clean and ironed.

What do you think the captain might say to Billie if Billie asked how she was feeling about
the match? Write some sentences down that use possessive determiners or words with
possessive apostrophes.
