Our Class Author - Anthony Horowitz

Anthony John Horowitz CBE is an English novelist and screenwriter specialising in mystery and suspense. His works for children and young adult readers include the Alex Rider series featuring a 14-year-old British boy who spies for MI6, The Power of Five series, and The Diamond Brothers series. 

Horowitz was born in Stanmore, Middlesex, into a Jewish family, and in his early years lived an upper middle class lifestyle. An unhappy child, Horowitz enjoyed reading books from his father's library. As a child, Horowitz used to go to Instow, where his nanny took him boating on the River Torridge. He also had a stuffed monkey named Benjamin (which was later eaten by his dog).

Areas of Learning:

We will be focussing on including adverbials of time and place, including participle adjectives and using colons and commas correctly.

Reading: Developing our Rainbow Reading skills and understanding (Copy Cat, Authors Craft, Text Detective and Judge and Jury question types). Our text this half is Who Let The Gods Out.
