We have a monstrous task for you this week year 6! You are being asked to design a map which a fearless hero would use if they were going on a quest. It should be full of intriguing, mysterious and potentially deadly places and you can make it in any way you wish – all the details are in the task.
Of course, no quest would be complete without a challenging encounter with a monster, so you have also got to imagine where on your map one of these terrifying creatures might live and what makes them so frightening. There are some text extracts to help you get into the swing of quest writing and you can read all about Sir Penfro, a knight who is not really all that brave. Then it will be your turn to write about your hero’s encounter with a menacing beast – will they survive? The choice is yours…
