School Spellings for a daughter aged 12 (part 5)


ATOM yourself to the chirpy
BOILING POINT. Confound your
COMPOUND into a
MIXTURE of a
SOLID
LIQUID & smily
GAS. Find the
MELTING POINTS  of
METALS and
NON-METALS using Dettol in a frolicky
PATTERN. Learning the
PERIODIC TABLE will give you magical
PROPERTIES. Tell the world by singing the sulphuric acid
SYMBOL in the style of Sebastian Vettel.

School Spellings for a son aged 9.



BEAUTIFUL
MIRACLE could be my temporary
COMPANION. I'm
DOUBTFUL that this
CREATURE omitting such
LUXURY 
GLITTERING with feverish
SATISFACTION one could never intentionally
DESPISE. I was right - he tasted
HEAVENLY.



A new teacher. A new Term. A brand new Poetry Day.
Spellings have returned.
All is well in Spelling Blog Land.
These are the first that have been sent home in over 2 years for a son.

Pies is still on my mind. Just finished playing Mrs Lovett in Sweeney Todd at the Market Theatre, Ledbury.
All pie fillings are heavenly :-)

CONVINCE all that
SPECIAL Brew was brewed to
CREATE beery
PASSION. Cheerily
IMPLY that an on
DEMAND machine will
INDEED provide
SYMPATHY when needed
(after a fashion)

Today I have learnt about Special Brew. 


‘Special Brew was originally brewed by the Danes for Winston Churchill. His visit to Copenhagen in 1950 was commemorated with a 'special' brew produced in his honour. Originally called V-øllet (V-Beer), the drink followed the Danish tradition of producing a new beer to celebrate outstanding events such as a royal occasion or European coronation. Churchill's favourite drink was cognac, so in brewing him a commemorative beer, the brewers at Carlsberg created a stronger lager with cognac flavours among its tasing notes. 
At Christmas in 1952 Special Brew was launched throughout Denmark, and has been available in the UK since the '70's. Special Brew is a full bodied, fruity tasting, strong lager with a good clean bitterness’ Beer facts provided by the Carlsburg Group

School Spellings for a daughter aged 12 (part 3)



LEAFLET everyone. Smile!
PRESENTATION is key. Bring your plastic
DEVICES along. Use these props with sincere
EFFECT. Let the
READER think they ARE the ultimate
VISITOR
TOURIST. The
PURPOSE of this exercise is to work on one's
AUDIENCE
TECHNIQUE. Teeth give people hope. Hope opens up wallets.




It's been another while. This spelling list is bizarre.
Hopefully the whole class got 10 out of 10.

HISTORICAL
TRADITION comes into
EFFECT very soon. We must
ANALYSE all dairy that
SYMBOLISES
EVIDENT and
CLEAR cheese. Read the sacred
TEXT that
PRESENTS and
SHOWS the curdish wheys.





Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away
