plurals |
||||
|
This week’s spelling list is formed using words and their plural forms. It can be difficult to distinguish which ending you need so don’t get caught out! See below for some tips. Can you show your plurals in a creative way? Can you write them in your own paragraph? Challenge yourself to use parentheses: |
||||
|
baby/babies |
box/boxes | bus/buses | city/cities | hand/hands |
| lunch/lunches | party/parties | potato/potatoes | try/tries |
worry/worries |
- Most nouns add ‘-s’ in the plural.
- Nouns ending in a hissing/buzzing/shushing sound add ‘-es’ because it makes it easier to say.
- Nouns ending in ‘-y’ drop the ‘y’ for an ‘i’ and add ‘-es’.
- Several nouns ending in ‘o’ add ‘-es’.
There will be a spelling test on Friday 16 November.

Made-up words
This week, you should use our three key spelling rules (and any others you can think of) to create 5 of your own made-up words. The word should contain at least one of the rules: double up for a short vowel sound, drop the ‘y’ for an ‘i’ and/or drop the ‘e’ for ‘ing’. Each word must have a definition.
Next week, we’ll vote for our 10 favourites and these will form our word list for the week after. We’ll have our vote on Friday 13 July.
