Valley of the Monkey: Spellings for a boy aged 6 (part 6)



I don't want the
key to your
donkey that can be found in the
Valley of the
Monkey. Get down from your 
chimney. Grab your
trolley
pulley, with a purse full of 
money. Become my
honey
for the long long 
journey.

A quick refresh-
Spellings will always be written in the listy order that they are given

Yield : Spellings for a son aged 6 (part 5)

 
 
Forsooth, the
CHIEF was
BRIEF as we hid in the
FIELD behind the sacred
SHIELD. The
PRIEST did press us not to
YIELD or
SHRIEK if a
THIEF came over trying to steal the very
RELIEF of our
BELIEF.
 I still managed to spell 4 of these incorrectly and I am more than six. They look wrong.

Drop It : Spellings for a son aged 6 (part 4)



HAPPY
are we when it is
SUNNY with
MUMMY and
DADDY being the
ONLY ones acting up all
FUNNY. 
SADLY we grow and the
PENNY drops
HEAVY and sinks
QUICKLY into lifes piggybank levy.

This one was hard to do. The happy ending didn't materialize.

Approx : Spellings for a daughter aged 9 (part 3)

 
 
ACTUALLY - yes
APPROXIMATELY- no
CAREFULLY- hmmm
EXTREMELY- to go
FREQUENTLY- often
GENERALLY it is said 
'GINGERLY we walk upright with clouds close to our heads'
GRADUALLY- always
IMPORTANTLY - in love
PARTICULARLY round a
PERFECTLY fitted kind of glove
PHYSICALLY - it's great!!
SMOOTHLY done but never
THOROUGHLY. And that concludes the welcome employee survey of discovery.

12/14

approxamately and particularly spelt in this way (because that's how the teacher pronounced them!!)

The Queue : Spellings for a 9 year old daughter



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 : Spellings for a son aged 6 (part 3)



THESE
days,
PETE pops over for tea in the
EVE with
STEVE
EVEN when the
THEME is not entirely
COMPLETE
. A missing
GENE of some
EXTREME would nicely finish off this
SCENE.

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?

On the
SEA
SEAT. The
BEAD of sweat can be
READ like
MEAT. A
TREAT in a
HEAP – at
LEAST it is always
STEAMY.

REPEAT

-It  
came and 
made what it needed to 
make. 
Take 
care with the 
game, as during the 
race they set free the 
snake to 
amaze everyone. This is when you must 
escape.

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.
