Alisdair has written a story using the spelling words from this week's Unit. He is using the workbook, "Building Spelling Skills Grade 6+," which is published by Evan-Moor Educational Publishers.
Paddington Bear's Adventure
(Highlighting words with the short and long 'O' vowel sounds
and recognizing the 'aw' sound spelled 'O')
***
A
stowaway named Paddington Bear was on a ship, hiding in a lifeboat. The only problem was, when an
officer came and turned the boat upside down, it made Paddington's
oxygen level lower. From his hiding place, Paddington heard a little girl recite a
poem. Then he heard clapping because everyone in the audience thought the
poetry was brilliant. He
often got
frightened that someone would catch him, as lots of men with
trolleys kept coming by. When his trip was over, Paddington quietly got off the boat and went to the zoo, where he saw an
antelope. Then he went to see the fish at the aquarium and an old
proverb came to mind. He got an
envelope out of his suitcase and slipped a zoo leaflet into it so he could post it, with what little money he had. He was very
obstinate when the zoo was closing as he wanted to stay longer. The young bear
approached the Browns. They saw his tag that read,
"Please look after this bear. Thank you!" Although they weren't planning to take a bear
home with them, they took Paddington to #32 Windsor Gardens. When they arrived, Mrs. Bird was getting an
awl out of a drawer so Paddington went to watch television, with a marmalade sandwich and a coke. At first a show about atoms and
molecules was being shown. As he searched through the channels, Paddington came across an old replay of an Olympic awards
ceremony. Hockey was on BBC Sports. The
goalie made a good save, after the star player tried to shoot it in the net, past several
obstacles.
