Now I know you have all been out in London all day, so I won't have you do anything too difficult! Instead, I am going to tell you about the legend of Pegasus.

Pegasus was a winged horse born from the slain neck of the monster Medusa. He was a pure white winged horse. Although mortal, he did many services to Zeus. One of them was when a young hero became too confident and tried to fly to the heavens on Pegasus's back, Pegasus threw him off, crippling him for life. When Pegasus died, Zeus made him a constellation so that he may fly the skies forever.

There. You may go now. Your homework is to find an image of Pegasus and find the constellation in the sky. Off you go, back to bed now! I hope you have a wonderful winter break.
