This week’s spellings are plurals again. This time, we’re focusing on word endings that change from f to v when they are pluralised eg Mr Wilks may have one calf but I have three calves, and Mr Redfearn has one nice scarf but all of my scarves are even nicer.

Spelling list

This week’s spellings are all plurals that need to change an f to a v. For example, you have one scarf but many scarves. Can you come up with more of your own?

calves

knives

selves

loaves

thieves

lives

halves

scarves

wolves

wives

Although these spellings are fairly straightforward, children can easily push themselves by thinking of their own and should, of course, be using these words in sentences when they practise.
