Guided Reading

In term 5, we will be applying all of our VIPERS skills as we read 'Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief' by Rick Riordan

Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. Lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse - Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him. When Percy's mom finds out, she knows it's time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he'll be safe. She sends Percy to Camp Half Blood, where he learns that the father he never knew is Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon a mystery unfolds and sends Percy on the most dangerous quest of his life!

Writing

In term 5, our writing will be inspired by 'Who Let the Gods Out?' by Maz Evans.

When the pair accidentally release Thanatos, a wicked death daemon imprisoned beneath Stonehenge, they must turn to the old Olympian gods for help. Are Zeus and his crew up to the task of saving the world - and solving Elliot's problems too?
