When a shooting star crashes to earth, it lands Eliot smack bang in the path of Virgo - a young Zodiac goddess on a mission. But when the pair accidentally release Thanatos, a wicked death daemon imprisoned beneath Stonehenge, they’ve got nowhere to turn for help but to the old Olympian gods. These gods are used to getting their own way and they’re more than capable of creating a little chaos themselves. After centuries of cushy retirement on earth, are Zeus and his crew up to the task of saving the world - and solving Elliot's problems too?
By the end of this unit I will be able to write…
- Character description
- Newspaper report
Literary devices I will be practising throughout this writing journey:
- Revise key SPaG:
- Fronted adverbials followed by a comma: prepositional phrases starting with an adjective and ending in “-ed”
- The more, the more (sentence type)
- Emotion word, comma (sentence type)
- indicate possession by using the possessive apostrophe with singular and plural nouns (girl’s name, girls’ names).
- extend the range of sentences with more than one clause by using a wider range of conjunctions, including when, if, because, although.
- Correctly applying punctuation covered in previous years groups and use commas after fronted adverbials (how, where and when - beyond ly.)

Children will be taught to recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways. They will explore and use classification keys to help group, identify and name a variety of living things in their local and wider environment. Children will recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things.
