Peter falls into another world that he never knew existed. Can you name any other books, movies or plays that feature characters leaving reality and entering a fantasy world? Most correct answers wins!

Your task for the Horrible Histories books is to create your own fictional (made up) Horrible Histories for Boroondara Park Primary School. You can make it into a little book complete with front cover and illustrations. The book should be written in the funny way that the Horrible Histories are written. You should imagine that you are writing about the school as if it is in the past. An example may be about what the students used the bottom oval for, or maybe some legends about the smell from the boys’ toilet.

Follow this link to create tessellations with Microsoft paint. Select the middle option (Freeform). Once done save your work in your folder and if you know how, try to post the picture to the blog!

Bartlett goes on a long adventure throughout this book. Your task is to create a map or graph that visually displays his journey. You need to communicate the following 

• Where did he go?
• Why did he go there?
• Who did he go with?
• How did he get there?
• How did people feel about the journey or event?

 With a partner you have to create My Place entries for the two missing years - 1998 and 2008. You will have to consider a number of things - how you link it with pages from the book (which characters, locations, events are still around in 1998 and 2008), what stays the same and what changes. You need to create text, a map and pictures. One entry for each person would be fair.

 In what ways is Bartlett not the usual hero? How should he be?

 Find an example of a person who is mentioned in at least 3 different times. How do they change?

Read to page 30 and answer this question via the blog. What present do you think is fit for a queen and why?

 Read to page 119. Keep a log of the figurative writing you encounter as you read and try to work out what they mean. 

 Okay, what are these two Lego men recreating? First answer wins! If you don’t know the answer, ask someone! Maybe your parents!

The end of the book contains an ambiguous ending for Thunderbolt. What do you think happened to Thunderbolt and why?

This is your homework for Henry Sugar.

The book is a collection of short stories written by Roald Dahl over many years. The longest story is the one about Henry Sugar and it’s also the name of the collection. But should it be? 

Your task is to make a convincing case for your story to become the title for the collection. You will need to deliver a speech to your fellow Bookie Monsters as to the merits of your story (and maybe the problems with the other stories). The speech should go for around 3 minutes. It will be delivered next week.

Be warned! This questions requires serious, deep and reflective answers! 

Why is the fox so eager to be tamed by the little prince? If he already knows how to tame himself, why does he need someone else to do it for him?
