'ue' sound stories

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.

Royston the Noisy Snake

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.
