Mr Rudolph Reindeer

Our Scaffold Text this week uses the 'ee' soundThis can be made in many ways - ee, ey, y, ea, i, ie, ei and e.Write your own text and post as a comment

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 unusual paragraph

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

What is unusual about the paragraph above? House point for the first correct post!

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.
