       We were at least half a hour late getting started,
       by the time everyone got settled down with a mug of coffee.
       The Headmistress started of with an old favourite,
       An English word puzzle.
       C - L - D
       ----------
       A - K - N
       ----------
       B - E - E
       All the usual rules apply,
       Each word must have four or more letters.
       Each word must have a "K" in it.
       NO rude/swear words.
       Pass mark 18 words/points.
       3 points if you guess the 9 letter word..(answer later).
       Hear goes..
       Bake, Cake, Lake, Blake, Ankle, Blank, Leek, Leak, Naked, Neck.
       Bank, Back, Baked, Black, Caked, Kale, Eked, Blanked, Bleak.
       Beak, Beck, Balk, Balked, Bedeck, Lack, Kneil, Lacked, Kneed.
       Deck, Keel, Keen, Knead, Clank, Clanked, Dank.
       Hard work !

       It's my own opinion that it would be better
       to just choose one or two math's projects
       Fractions, for interest, And have the whole thing,
       +, - x, - -:-, - -, explained in fine detail,
       With examples on the blackboard.
       Until EVERYONE in the class, fully understood how it is done..
       
       Then nobody would just give up, and not even try..

       After lunch break Miss Ros Dubois took over,
       and spent the next hour trying to teach the class some basic
       Spanish.
       Miss Dubois told us she was half Spanish, and enjoyed trying
       to teach this subject..
       then a test to see who had learned what..

       To be completed, and handed in at the next Mixed School Day,
       Saturday 9th June, Starting at 12.00 Lunchtime.
       So, Homework for Miss Dubois is :-

       The Headmistress now back in class, took charge..
       She wanted to try out an English Word project,
       "Conjugated Verbs"
       Now for some of our pupils who are not to sure what this is all
       about,
       the Boss explained, It is shortening two words into one word,
       Like this -
       It is - changed to - It's. or there is, changed to - there's...
       Hear goes :-
       There are many ways to make a difference but there not always
       obvious.
       If a group of children had "their"  (belonging to them)  own
       clothes.
       AND Finally,  The Homework -
       Learn the counties of Great Britain and Northern Ireland for a
       test.
