Welcome to the Study Zone!
The Study Zone is home to Years 4, 5 and 6. We structure each day to maximise learning time and adapt learning to meet the needs of all three year groups. We understand the importance of being fully engaged in our learning, challenging our thinking and questioning our ideas.
Discussion is a vital part of our learning journey, helping us to explore different perspectives, discover a variety of problem-solving strategies, and remain open to new ideas and ways of thinking. All children are encouraged to participate in whole-class learning, whether through cold-calling, ABC (Agree, Build, Challenge) strategies, or by sharing their own thoughts and ideas. Every contribution is valued and respected, creating a supportive environment where children feel confident to take risks, learn from mistakes, and grow as learners.
By working collaboratively and listening carefully to one another, we develop deeper understanding, greater confidence, and the skills needed to become independent and reflective learners.
Elliot has so far succeeded in keeping his mum’s illness a secret but now the money is running out and things are getting desperate.
When a young Zodiac goddess, Virgo, lands in his back garden, Elliot thinks he might see a way to resolve some of his difficulties but, instead, the pair manage to accidentally release Thanatos – the immortal death-daemon – from centuries of imprisonment.
With a wicked megalomaniac on the loose, Elliot and Virgo are out of their depth so must call on the help of Zeus and other long-retired gods to recapture the fugitive. But can they get to Thanatos before he gets to take over the world?
Funny, witty, inspired and utterly contemporary, this fantasy thriller/adventure is a magical blend of ancient and modern, with brilliant characterisation and a truly human story at its heart.
