This week’s spellings are all plurals again. This time, children are concentrating on words that need you to drop the y for an i and then add es. Children all have the same words – if they find them easy, of course they should be finding more complicated ones of their own that match the rule.  The drop the y for an i rule is very important one that children often forget in their writing.
