Make predictions based on evidence stated and implied.
Stig of the Dump Chapter 4
This chapter is called
Gone A-Hunting
Based on the title and the story we have read so far, what do you predict will happen in this chapter?
Fox hunting
In this chapter, we will read about Lou being invited to a fox hunt.
Fox hunting used to involve the tracking, chasing and killing of a fox by trained foxhounds and a group of followers led by a master of foxhounds, who followed the hounds on foot or horseback. Fox hunting with hounds had existed for 400 years and was developed as a means of entertainment for the aristocracy. (A class of people who have a high social position because of the family they are born into. Members of the aristocracy are usually richer and have more privileges than other members of society.) Fox hunting in this way is banned now in England.

Using apostrophes to show possession - BBC Bitesize
Task:
The sleigh belonging to Santa was being pulled by his reindeer.
The sweets belonging to Emma were very tasty.

Whose sweets are they?
Whose collar is it?

Teacher model: If the noun which owns the things or object represents more than one person or thing, the apostrophe goes after the final s in the owning word, NOT the thing which is owned.
One owner = ’s More than one owner = s’
Men and women are exceptions. These words are all plural but when they are the owning word, they have the apostrophe before the final s. the children’s classroom the men’s Wimbledon final the women’s 200 metre race.
Mini test:
Place the possessive apostrophe in the correct place. Some are singular, (before the final s); some are plural, (after the final s) and some are exceptions, (plural but before the final s.)
Remember to ask the questions: Who or what is the owner? How many owners – singular or plural? Is it an exception?
