School Spellings for a daughter aged 12 (part 4)

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

Fetch : Spellings for a son aged 6 (Part 17)

The Dream was always of a bigger

picture on the wall, showing the 

adventure of a

creature with a miserable

future. This suited his compliant

nature and we could often find and

catch him without a

stitch on, scrambling around the 

kitchen begging for scraps of cake

mixture.

‘Fetch!!’
we taunted

until 

he

woke 

up.

 

These could potentially be the last spellings for a boy aged 6. We will see.

Knee Socks : Spellings for a son aged 6 (part 14)

The
gnat was a woman and so was the

gnome. They did sit and

knit

knee socks together as women seldom often never do. Suddenly there was a

knock at the door. They

knew who it would be and tutted tremendously, climbed a ladder, reluctantly opened the door and held a knitted

knife at the needy

knight’s throat: pointing out once again the
sign that clearly dearly states ‘No damsels in distress here!!' The

design is quite quite brilliant. So Neville the Needy Knight went off to do his night job, under a smattering of disturbing night clouds.

I've been unsettled for a few days now. There is something strange in the air. If anyone could put their finger on it, I'd be very pleased to know what it is and where it is. In the meantime I will keep searching in the local area.

Richard Austen	Poetry's not a competition
	He spat the gnat onto the home of the gnome. The knit of his kit made his knees freeze. They began to knock, just above the sock. But then he knew that Death was turning the screw when the knife took his life, wielded by the gnome king’s knight with great might. It was a sign of his master’s design and displeasure at having chewed insects gobbed into his humble abode

Waiting for Andrew : Spellings for a son aged 6 (part 12)

We
blew on it and all gave it a
chew. It

grew a little in the heat and we

drew lots to see who would win the golden
screw. We was an handsome

crew who enjoyed a superstitious

brew. All we does is wait and wait and wait for the crow that

flew at a wonk. We spies him, captures him, twonks him and we all

threw

Andrew overboard at the same time.
(Andrew is a fitting name for a crow and we is a small crew!)

You must read this like a pirate,
all boldy h's must not be pronounced. Do it again if you forgot the first time. Arrrrhh

PS Andrew is not harmed really. It's pretend twonking. And he just flies around wonkily some more. That he do that he do that he do he do that he do that he do that he do he do that he do that he do........

PPS I couldn't find a picture of Andrew.
This is Barry, the out of focus horse

Bowl : Spellings for a boy aged 6 (part 9)

 

 

I closed my eyes, got on my knees and emitted a

LOW growl to

GROW in the

SNOW. The result was pure light, it grew and did

GLOW. I shaped the dancing ripples and fashioned them into a

BOWL. I did

TOW and tango with it down the path so

SLOW. I wanted to

SHOW it off to my master,  but was stopped mid flow. On his

WINDOW was a secret message – Gone

ROWING!
back to-mor-row.

Grammar for grown ups arrived in the post yesterday I think its meant to be for me

I have Too many I's. I took them out but I put them back in.

Pine Bath : Spellings for a son aged 6 (Part 8)

 

Like the 

time we bathed in 

pine- Remember?? We were 

ripe in the sun's hard

shine, after we had slid down THAT  

slide. You were my 

prize.

Nice would be an understatement. Such a shame you never did

decide. My mother always said you were too 

polite.

Double Pie Lie : Spellings for a son aged 6 (Parts 7a and 7b)

He gave me his

PIE to

LIE with, wrapped around his stripy

TIE. I

CRIED as I

TRIED to get comfy. He

SPIED my awkwardness and asked would I prefer it
FRIED? I

REPLIED, that when the deep fat is
APPLIED, the pie would feel like a soft pillow and would no longer be

DENIED.

Pie Lie

The great grand
PIE
LIE competition was a

TIE. I

CRIED with joy and

SPIED the
FRIED pie lie I was tied with.  My competitor

REPLIED with his own crocodile tears he’d

APPLIED earlier. Man he was good!! He certainly couldn’t be

DENIED- the joint Pie Lie prize
(which may or may not have been a pie).

Tis Friday 13th . I saw my daily magpie, remembered my daily sorrow,
saluted my daily magpie and continued with the daily wallow.

ACCURATELY, I can tell you I felt somewhat

DEJECTED at the length of the

QUEUE. With this

CANTANKEROUS being in front of me, with an outrageous, yet

ECSTATIC point of view. He was

INSOLENT, whilst

NOSTALGIC about how things used to be. My

INTROVERTED self pretended not to be

INTRIGUED at this man who

NURTURED money and gleefully gloated on his greed.

Next Please!

THESE days,
PETE pops over for tea in the

COMPLETE. A missing

My new addiction!! Luckily, they only get handed out every Wednesday!! I’m now expecting a Pete and a Steve to start featuring rather heavily in my sons school life.
Didn’t we Pete?

Spelling Lists have returned to this Blog.

I've missed the dwelling of the spellings
and the continuation of the list
so I'm putting them right back
With a happy waving of a fist.

I've always enjoyed writing lists and lining up words. Now it seems that lists have another purpose. 
A gift to lift.


Spelling Poems will always be written in the way the spellings are given.
Please do contribute, comment, write your own, send spellings. So far I've had 3 contributors.
I've used Spellings for a 6, 7 and 10 year old. The seven year old poems have frustrated me as the spellings have been computer generated to comply with end of key stage 1 SATS. Hopefully the impersonal change does comes across, I've struggled with these but have forced myself to do them. Hopefully the new school year will be more human.

I'm fascinated how words given, trigger other words -a bit like the game word association. I'm also curious whether mood plays a big part in the outcome.
Mustn't pause, mustn't hesitate.
