This week’s spellings are have a simple rule: adding ‘s’ to make plurals (more than one). We don’t use apostrophes to do this!
There is space on the list for the children to challenge themselves and think of more difficult words that follow the same pattern (there’s one used in this homework post!).
These will be tested on Thursday 21 October, instead of Friday, as the children are not in school.
| Singular | Plural |
| game | games |
| pond | ponds |
| bean | beans |
| rope | ropes |
| pockets | |
| window | windows |
| display | displays |
| table | tables |
| board | boards |
| school | schools |
| Can you think of any more? | |
