From the Predictor's notebook

Being the predictor, I predict that…

the night that Mrs Fletcher knocked at the door for an unexpected visit, will be the night that Willies new found happiness is shattered. I predict this because ... It was a stormy night and Willie had just gone to sleep, when there was a visit by Mrs Fletcher. On a night like this, that would be the last thing you would expect! As soon as Mrs Fletcher walks in the door, there is no time for ‘dilly dally’ Willie will find that he has to go back to London to live with his mother. “Hitler is coming and there’s no time to dawdle!”

From Discussion Director's notebook

As Discussion Director, I had to think of questions about Chapters 1-4. I used the 6 thinking hats to frame my questions. I used evidence from the book to make sure my questions were the best I could do.
