Today's letter is the letter...U.

Have you got your squiggle pads and squiggle sticks ready?

Let's get squiggling!

Holding your squiggle stick like this,

move it down, round,

up, down and flick.

The letter U.

Let's squiggle it again.

Go down, round,

up, down

and flick.

There - the letter U.

Shall we meet the letter U?

Say the magic words with me.

One, two,

three, four, five,

let's make our squiggles come alive!

Hi, U.

Shall we squiggle some things that start with the letter U?

An umbrella...

an uncle

and underpants.

They all begin with the letter U.

See if you can spot them in our story.

-Once there was a boy...

-Hello!

..with a magic...umbrella!

Whenever the umbrella was opened,

it would fly the boy up into the sky.

Whee!

So, he used its power to help people

and he became a superhero!

They call me Umbrella Boy!

The only trouble was his umbrella

could be quite tricky to control.

Uh-oh. I can't turn around!

Luckily, Umbrella Boy always had

his Uncle Uppity to help him out.

Just spin the umbrella, my boy. That'll turn you round.

Thanks, Uncle Uppity.

One day, Umbrella Boy was out saving the world.

He had just straightened a toppling tower...

and rescued a hot air balloon

-when he heard a loud meow.

-Meow!

A cat had gone up to the top of a skyscraper

to chase the birds and it was stuck.

Don't worry, kitty, I'll save you!

It was windy at the top of the building

and his umbrella was blown about.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty. Nice jump!

Suddenly, the wind blew stronger.

It blew the umbrella inside out

and Umbrella Boy and the kitty started to fall.

Uncle Uppity spotted them and he knew just what to do.

He made a giant pair of...underpants

and catapulted them into the sky.

Quick! Try these on for size.

Umbrella Boy jumped into them...

Comfy!

..and puff!

They inflated like a balloon and brought him safely down.

You've saved me again, Uncle Uppity. You're my hero!

So now Umbrella Boy saves the world

using not only his magic umbrella

but also his superhero underpants.

Can you remember how to squiggle the letter U?

Let's get a clue from the squiggle pad.
