Drew’s Unusual Uniform
This week's scaffold text using the 'ue' sound.
Drew was in Saint Andrew’s regimental musical band. His unit took part in many regimental marches through the town.
The day of his next march was a beautiful sunny day. Drew slept in. He was due at the barracks at 10.00am and it was already a quarter to. He threw on his uniform without thinking and continued out the door.
He quickly joined his crew on their march and began blowing his tuba. Half way through the march he noticed everyone was looking at him in an unusual way. Then he realised his buttons were askew, his shirt, that was supposed to be white, was blue and on his feet he had only one shoe. ‘What an unusual uniform!’ laughed Drew and everyone had to agree.

This Week's Spellings & Scaffold Text
After a little break spelling city is back online. Click here or on the picture to visit the site Our scaffold text activity is back on too, as usual post comments with your text. This week our story is called:
Royston was, by all accounts, a very noisy snake. His friends would say, ‘The idea of being a snake is so you can hoist yourself up into a tree and silently coil yourself round a branch and then drop down on your prey without them even knowing you are there.’ Alas poor Royston couldn’t stay quiet for long enough to do this.
One day his friends took him aside and explained he had choices to make. Either he was going to be the annoying, poisonous, noiseless, destroyer that he was meant to be or they would employ sterner measures to get him to conform.
Needless to say sterner measures could not be avoided. Royston’s friends sent him on a voyage of discovery. His most loyal friend, Lloyd went with him and introduced him to the android on the hill, who, happened to have an ointment for noisiness. A couple of applications later Royston was less noisy and actually started to enjoy slithering around, silently creeping and toiling up on his prey as a snake should do.

Gertie the Gloomy Goose
Gertie the Gloomy Goose
One afternoon Hugh was watching a cartoon called Gertie the Gloomy Goose. Gertie flew smoothly through Blackpool on a broom when she toppled over fell and bruised her knee. In rage she took off her shoe and threw it at a musician who was playing a flute. He stood up, shook his fist at Gertie, smoothed down his suit and continued playing. It would take more than a bruise caused by a goose on a broom to stop a true flute player.

My Neighbour Mr Reindeer
My neighbour has a silly surname. He is called Mr Rudolph Reindeer. Mr Reindeer has no patience and often complains about the silliest things – mum’s apron isn’t straight, there aren’t enough raisins in his birthday cake, the trailer’s wheels are on the pavement, the café doesn’t open late. When he gets angry he makes such strange faces and his veins pop out on his forehead.
Yesterday was Monday, the first day of the school holidays. It rained so hard that Mr Reindeer’s children could not go out to play. The children waited to see if the rain would stop and were dismayed to find they had to remain indoors. As they played they created mayhem. Mr Reindeer can’t wait until the holidays are over and peace reigns once again.

The Troubled Athlete
Our scaffold text for List 4
Get out of bed,’ I heard her bleat. ‘You’re not much of an athlete!’
‘Oh mum, the exercise is really extreme, it makes me want to shout and scream.’
‘Get into the field and give my head peace. Stop acting like your little niece.’
At this point I did concede and wandered to the mucky field.
The abundance of energy I did release made my oxygen levels decrease. Thirsty work and rigorous routine made me into a mean machine.
With my extreme training now complete I realise I’ll make the greatest athlete.
My mother will cease her heat at last, and all her bleating will be a thing of the past!

The Surprised Burglar
Let me tell you the story of yesterday’s burglary. The mystery of the missing silver was discovered by the butler who alerted security. The guards disturbed the burglar as he circled the perimeter fence looking for an escape route.He had entered the house without disturbing a soul. He slithered with uncertainty from room to room until he discovered the Fern family silver.
‘Ah, perfect. I’ve come to the end of my search’, he muttered as he stuffed the silver into his sack.
The burglar made a hasty exit. As he reached the perimeter fence, he felt a hand on his collar. ‘You have been caught on camera. You must return the silver.’ said the guard sternly.

The Astounding House
You would never believe that thousands of people would travel over mountains, underground, through clouds and by sea to visit the magical fountain at Slough House.At noon each day people would surround the fountain at the astounding house and watch as the house changed to a clown. Bounce, the clown would bow to the applause of the crowd and astound the audience with his magic tricks.
The audience would shout aloud, ‘What a clown!’. Bounce would count to ten, jump into the fountain and he would reappear in his nightgown.

The Hopeless Scarecrow
Farmer Brown made a scarecrow using a pillow, some straw and old clothes. Joe was not your average scarecrow, he was a unique fellow. He would boogie at the local disco, shaking from his shoulder to his elbow. The crowd would explode with laughter as Joe groaned and moaned.
Joe, the scarecrow would boast how he scared all the crows from his home. Although Farmer Brown thought he was a hopeless fellow, he played the piano like a pro and caused the crocuses to grow.

This week's scaffold text: ~ory ~ary ~ery
The BurglaryA newspaper article about a legendary burglary in the conservatory was compulsory reading. Due to a slippery floor the thief skidded to the lavatory and suffered temporary respiratory failure. Although his recovery was satisfactory, he needed surgery. He also lost his memory and still queries why he was there.
Post your texts as usual. It'd also be a good idea to have a go at the spelling city games as this week the words are pretty difficult.

A made up story
By way of explanation - a made up story is fiction! I hope that stops any confusion in relation to this issue. The foundation of non-fiction writing is fact with no distraction from the truth.The separation between the two, and progression from one to the other, is when we use our imagination to create a made up story. Then without omission non-fiction clearly becomes fiction!
Still having difficulty seeing this?Please see an optician!

My Terrible Uncle Able has got it Wrong
My uncle Able is terrible. He says I am incredible!! He says that I am a horrible little menace. I am not!!
I am the most sensible, responsible child imaginable! Well, maybe not!!
Still, I am quite good at talking. I am loud and excitable. I am no angel but I can be respectable at times. I don’t care about being fashionable and I think soap addiction is incurable. My terrible uncle Able has got it wrong! What do you think?
