Colonel Fazackerley Butter-worth Toast

Colonel Fazackerley Butterworth-Toast

LI: To understand the story within the poem

Poetry feature: Rhyming words / synonyms

Colonel Fazackerley Butterworth-Toast

Bought an old castle complete with a ghost,

But someone or other forgot to declare

To Colonel Fazak that the spectre was there.

On the very first evening, while waiting to dine,

The Colonel was taking a fine sherry wine,

When the ghost, with a furious flash and a flare,

Shot out of the chimney and shivered, 'Beware!'

Colonel Fazackerley put down his glass

And said, 'My dear fellow, that's really first class!

I just can't conceive how you do it at all.

I imagine you're going to a Fancy Dress Ball?'

At this, the dread ghost made a withering cry.

Said the Colonel (his monocle firm in his eye),

'Now just how you do it, I wish I could think.

Do sit down and tell me, and please have a drink.'

The ghost in his phosphorous cloak gave a roar

And floated about between ceiling and floor.

He walked through a wall and returned through a pane

And backed up the chimney and came down again.

Said the Colonel, 'With laughter I'm feeling quite weak!'

(As trickles of merriment ran down his cheek).

'My house-warming party I hope you won't spurn.

You MUST say you'll come and you'll give us a turn!'

At this, the poor spectre - quite out of his wits -

Proceeded to shake himself almost to bits.

He rattled his chains and he clattered his bones

And he filled the whole castle with mumbles and moans.

But Colonel Fazackerley, just as before,

Was simply delighted and called out, 'Encore!'

At which the ghost vanished, his efforts in vain,

And never was seen at the castle again.

'Oh dear, what a pity!' said Colonel Fazak.

'I don't know his name, so I can't call him back.'

And then with a smile that was hard to define,

Colonel Fazackerley went in to dine.

Charles Causley

Write two or 3 sentences to describe the ghost character. The ghost is friendly to the man,but to describe him he is very naughty.

What sort of person do you think the ghost was before he died?  I thought he was a scary type of ghost.

Look at each verse of the poem – list the rhyming words from each verse

E.g. Verse 1 – toast, ghost, declare, there

Use a dictionary to find the meanings of the following words

• Spectre: Means a ghost, noun.

Why did the ghost leave the castle? Because he needed to go to his rightful place which is heaven.

Research Task: C

Research Task: C

For the research task I have chosen cakes.

 In Roman times, eggs and butter were often added to basic bread to give a consistency that we would recognize as cake-like, and honey was used as a sweetener. The distinction between Roman concepts of cake and bread was therefore very blurred.

  The ‘cakewalk’ dance originated in African American communities in the Southern United States and was originally a competition in graceful walking, with cake awarded as a prize.

The word ‘cake’ comes from Middle English

The meaning of ‘cake’ has changed over time, and the first cake (according to the origina lOxford English Dictionary definition), was:

‘A comparatively small flattened sort of bread, round, oval, or otherwise regularly shaped, and usually baked hard on both sides by being turned during the process.’

Character Description

Character Description

Mount Tongariro:

Is a courageous and unbreakable mountain. He is brave and noble as he fights Taranaki, Tauhara and Putauaki to win the battle for the gentle Pechanga's love.  He is also indestructible and agile  mountain who up to today stands with the lovely Pihanga.

Mount Taranaki:

Is very different to Mount Tongariro as he is rude, sometimes very violent and bad tempered. He is moody and disrespectful as he fights his childhood friend Mount Tongariro to win Pihanga as his bride.

Mount Tauhara:

Is chicken hearted, sneaky and devious because he is not very brave and noble like Mount Tongariro or strong like Mount Taranaki. After his defeat, Mt Tauhara, the romantic kept on looking back to catch a last sight of the beautiful Pihanga.

Mount Putauaki:

is just like Mount Tauhara, he too is sneaky, chicken hearted and devious. After his defeat he travelled swiftly because he wanted to put much distance between him and his lost love.  He journeyed to the very end of the flat lands of Kaingaroa

Mount Pihanga: She plays a character that is loyal, pretty and is in love with two mountains. Her nature is very gentle, sweet and kind hearted.

Battle of the mountains.

The Battle of the Mountains

L.I. - Retell the story of the Battle of the Mountains

Re-read the story in pairs and complete the activities below:

CLOSE ACTIVITY: The restless mountains hovered nearby, each preparing to claim Pihanga as his bride.  But Tongariro stood in their way.  Tongariro, the tuakana, the eldest, watched, his eyes steady as each of the rival  mountains stepped up and issued their challenge.  Then with the formalities over, the way began!

VOCABULARY ACTIVITY Find definitions for these words from the story.  Use them in a sentence. fragrant: A pleasant or sweet smell. tension: A pulling force exerted by a string, cable, chain, or similar solid object. careered: Move swiftly and in uncontrolled. retaliating: Make an attack or assault in return for a similar attack. diverted: To turn aside from a course or direction. agile: Able to move quickly and easy.

COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS Remember - List all of the landforms mentioned in this story. Understand - What would be a better title for the story?  It needs to attract the audience and tell what the story is about. Apply - On a map of the North Island label all of the landforms from your list. Analyse -  Look up the definition of a legend.  In what ways does this story fit or not fit the definition. Evaluate - What do you think the two youngest mountains Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe thought about the events in the story?

CREATE ACTIVITY Choose 5 main events and draw pictures of them, either on paper or using tux paint.  Insert these into comic life to make a comic strip of the story.  Don’t forget to add captions, speech bubbles and onomatopoeia to your comic.
