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.

Riddle Me This

Ok so here's a harder one.

You are on a ship.

Over the side hangs a rope ladder with

rungs

half a meter apart .

The tide rises at half a meter per hour.

At the end of five hours, how much of the ladder will remain above the water assuming that nine rungs were above the water when the tide began to rise?

Something to keep you thinking....

What will you see twice in a week, and once in a year, but never in a day?

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 Burglary

A 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.
