James and the Giant Peach takeaway homework The aim is to reach 3 house points by completing one or more tasks by the Christmas holidays (last hand in date: Friday 14th December.)  You will notice that each project on the menu has a number within brackets; this lets you know how much that project is worth in house points. Where there is writing involved, an absolute maximum of half a page of A4 is fine.  It is completely up to you what projects you choose to do from the menu, as long as you aim to reach 3 points by the end of the term. You can do 3 smaller pieces of work or combine a 2 and a 1, or just do one piece worth 3 points. You will be awarded the number of house points you achieve, up to a maximum of 3, on Friday 14th December. You can of course hand the homework in at any time and we’ll still award your points on the 14th December. Enjoy!! Write an six line poem about James and his life.
