For grammar, the children came to an understanding that when a word ends in double s, sh, ch, x, and often o, we must add -es to make the word plural. For example:
- foxes
- ashes
- heroes
- touches
- dresses
Class 2G has also learnt that a compound word is formed when two words are joined to form a new word. For example:
- base + ball = baseball
- sun + flower = sunflower
- cup + cake = cupcake
Many of the children came up with many compound words on their 'Compound Word Hunt' assignment. However, Lionel got all mixed up and came up with a list of two-syllables words, thinking they are compound words, like 'fa+ther=father'. That is a mistake because 'fa' does not stand alone as a word found in the English dictionary. So is 'ther'. Be sure you look out for such avoidable mistakes, children.
