- Draw a rough, labelled plan of Mr Tom’s house (exterior only) and its immediate environs.
- Write the entry Mr Tom might have written for his diary on the first evening of Willie’s stay. (12 – 15 lines) Mention how he feels about having to look after Willie, what he discovers about him, etc.
- Imagine that Willie has a camera and is making a photo album of his stay in Little Weirwold. Reproduce ONE page from his album. Use drawings or photographs for the ‘photographs’. Write captions to accompany all the pictures.
- Compose the letter Mrs Beech wrote to Mr Tom asking Willie to come home.
- At the end of the novel Willie is almost totally a different person to the one who arrived at Little Weirwold. On a double page illustrate this difference by drawing/pasting pictures of Willie before (first page) and Willie after (second page). Each picture must also be accompanied by a short description of Willie.
- Which character in the book appealed to you the most? Briefly give your reasons for this choice. (10 – 15 lines)
- Imagine that it is Mr Tom’s 70th birthday. Design and write the birthday card that Willie would make for Mr Tom.
