I need a sentence with the word gaseous in....

Luckygirl

His list has eous and ious all jumbled up - I am not sure that is helpful really. I think it would be easier for him to consolidate one before mixing up with the other. Interestingly, if I ask him to spell them out loud he gets it wrong - but if I ask him to write them he gets them right.

Don't mention Gove to me............!

Totally agree on all counts! Still seeth whenever I see Govius on the tv- wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him and these days it’s less than it was!

Odious Govius tended to be gaseous.

ie he is a gas bag
Perhaps better not use that one although his teacher may approve.

Ah I see, is he learning 'eous' words- as that's how I used to teach them- put them in context into a sentence and the words off the list (ie in this case all the eous words) must be spelt correctly when the sentence is dictated for the children to write down.
This was one of the gaseous Mr Gove's educational reforms back in 2014, each year group were given a list of words which they had to be able to spell correctly by the end of that academic year. Y6's words were interesting to say the least and initially had a direct impact on the child's formal SAT writing assessment at the end of year as they had to be incorporated in writing and spelt without help ie independently. This was later changed- good thing too as many a child found writing spontaneously difficult if certain words had to be incorporated...

parsley our household has contributed quite considerably

I am so impressed with the collective wisdom here that I will return for help with GS's school work again!

Not helpful, sorry

Gaseous

Mr P has much in common with the ozone layer.?

The ozone layer has been affected by gaseous emissions

Ah - but the instruction from the teacher is that I should make up a sentence (from his spelling list words), dictate it to him and he writes it out.

Maybe he should come up with suggestions to show that he understands the meaning of the word.

Spontaneous!

Could be related to gaseous eructations maybe?

Mum made a spontaneous decision never to buy Brussels sprouts again because of their gaseous properties.

Maybe we could consider them to be liquid with gaseous elements!

Fizzy drinks aren't gaseous, they're liquid. And gassy.

Glad you said that Alegrias - I didn't want to be a know-all!

Beware when eating too many Brussels sprouts because they have gaseous properties.

What's his next word Luckygirl? This could keep me going till lunch

You could say cow farts if you want. And then they can get into a conversation about methane.

Since your GS is nine, try this one: farts can be gaseous. His classmates will love it.

Lots of thanks - I went with the fizzy drinks - and he managed to spell gaseous right! - so maybe I have not been talking to myself all week.
