1. 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!!
