Create your own story
We have been looking at 'Creating our own stories'.
Using our new library Wipe Board, we have chosen a who, when, where and what to build our own stories and sharing them with our friends.
Here is Erin creating her story.
Today was a crazy day.
I met a monkey on a pirate ship, it was amazing.
I even saw Captain Jack Sparrow!

Welcome back to our Summer Term.
The library joined in with Reception's 'Show and Tell' this week. We shared our story pebbles of the book 'The Gruffalo' by Julia Donaldson.
We had a lovely time thank you so much my Reception friends.
World Book Day
Thank you to everyone who donated books for our library!
The children looked amazing in their costumes, they enjoyed the day, and so did the staff. Sharing favourite stories with small groups of children from across the school proved to be particularly popular!
Year Five have been working with Andi and the Library to create a film (having written a persuasive script) to encourage the donation of more books for our library.
Other activities enjoyed:-

Accelerated Reader - Free Books
We registered to receive the monthly Quiz Updates Newletters and were randomly selected as the winner of a box of books as part of their monthly giveaway.

The books have already been labelled and are available for all to enjoy.
Please take a look at the photos.

A warm welcome to everyone this Spring Term.
Already we have been so busy!
Accelerated Reader
Accelerated Reader is a powerful tool for monitoring and managing independent reading practice.
Your child picks a book at his/her level and reads it at their own pace.
When finished, your child will take a short quiz on the computer.
Accelerated Reader gives children, teachers and librarians feedback based on the quiz results, which the teacher then uses to help your child set goals and direct ongoing reading practice.
In order for the above to be launched and pupils to select books that are right for them, all the books for which we have Accelerated Reader quizzes have been labelled with their Book Level, Interest Level and Point Value.
Pupils in Year 5 have been busy designing their Accelerated Reader bookmarks. Here are photos of just a few. They were absolutely amazing!

Welcome Back!
This Autumn Term our main focus in the library is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C S Lewis and how ‘The Fairytale begins….’ Looking at different ways to start a story i.e. Dialogue, foreshadowing, snapshot setting, personification, simile, question, metaphor and action/suspense and asking “How would you start your story?”
‘Turn the Page Your Journey Begins’
Already our amazing teachers have recommended their favourite books to read. This interactive display will build and develop as our library readers also add their favourites.
Exciting News Mrs Rushton, our year 5 teacher, was lucky enough to meet and chat with Michael Morpurgo in the summer when he visited Dartmouth to share his latest book, Listen to the Moon, and he emphasised the importance and value of reading aloud to children, which we wholeheartedly agree with him!
We will be restarting our Reading Record – Bookmark challenge and as before, for every 10 parent/adult signatures on your Reading Bookmark you can earn one Well Done Voucher. All completed Bookmarks will be entered into a draw to win an amazing Reading Bookplate signed by Michael Morpurgo, which was handed personally to Mrs Rushton.
If you would like any further information regarding the library please call in.
Happy reading!

Congratulations to Edward Bowles!
Today in the Councillor's Assembly, Edward was awarded the second stage of the Book Quest from Brixham Library. The challenge was to read 200 books in total!
Edward has recommended two of his favourite authors, which are Anthony Browne and Enid Blyton. Could you find some books, by these amazing authors, in your local library and which book would be your favourite?
21st May 2015
Class 1 visited the library today and what fun we had!
First, we recited 'The Owl and the Pussycat', by Edward Lear which is a nonsense poem and contains a made up word.
Then we watched a dvd of the book 'Some Dogs Do', by Jez Alborough.
All dogs walk and jump and run, but dogs don't fly - it can't be done...
Or Can it?
When Sid set off for school one day, a happy feeling came his way.
His paws lifted off the ground, without a how, without a why, Sid fell up towards the sky.
We talked about how Sid felt when his classmates laughed and didn't believe him and why his friends thought it wasn't true.
We all had big smiles and felt really happy, just like Sid, at the end!
Summer Term 2015

See below for further information or please call into the library.
Keep reading!
Happy New Year
A warm welcome to everyone this Spring Term. Our theme in the library is Reading Genres.
Our pupils are already familiar with reading a range of genres and authors to increase their knowledge using books. However to compliment this, we have introduced a new set of awards to follow on from our existing general certificates.
The library monitors have designed, printed and already displayed our Reading Rangers Certificates on our wall in the library. This will encourage children to experience and enjoy a range of genres, receiving a certificate at different stages. The genres include: poetry, science fiction, informational, instructions, mystery, autobiography, traditional literature etc.
We are so excited!
KEEP UP THE GOOD READING!

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Reading Competition
3 September to 16 November 2014
October 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of Ian Fleming’s classic children’s story Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The National Literacy Trust have teamed up with Macmillan Children’s Books to bring schools a new competition.
How does it work?
In the original story, the magical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car takes the Pott’s family on a very special journey. By taking part in the competition, children will go on their very own magical reading tour, spending time reading, both at home and at school, in order to fuel Chitty’s tank.
For every 10 minutes they spend reading, children will earn one litre of fuel for the tank, 10 hours (or 60 litres) in total. They will record their reading in their very own ‘Driver’s Log’, and every child who successfully fills Chitty’s fuel tank and completes their magical reading tour will be entered into the national prize draw.
What are the prizes?
One child will be randomly selected as the winner from all entries submitted. He/she will receive:
an eReader
book vouchers
a copy of the full Chitty Chitty Bang Bang series
original artwork from Chitty illustrator Joe Berger
a “school library makeover” for their school (£500 worth of books of their choice from Macmillan Children's Books' catalogue to revamp the library).
Five runners up will also receive a copy of Ian Fleming’s original Chitty Chitty Bang Bang series as well as signed copies of the three Chitty sequels by Frank Cottrell Boyce.
Already we have an amazing amount of library friends taking part, which is being updated daily on our ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Bar Chart’. Please remember ‘everyone counts’ and if any other library friends would like to ‘take a risk, and have a go’; please come into the library as soon as possible to start your magical reading journey.
Bar Chart - Everyone Counts
Library News
Welcome back!
A warm welcome to everyone this Autumn Term.
Our school topic is ‘Sowing the Seeds’. To celebrate this we have ‘grown’ our own ‘School ValuesTree’,which shows our core values: Respect, Love, Forgiveness, Compassion, Equality and Trust as well as other values we also feel are important.
Our theme in the library is ‘The Wizard of Oz’. Our main display is, ‘There’s no place likehome.There’s no place like school’ with the yellow brick road leading us to the amazing glittery ‘Emerald City’. Subsequently, my lovely library friends have been busy colouring pictures to add to our ‘working wall’. They really enjoy seeing it evolve and develop as we add more. We also have questions: Where would your shoes take you? If you could meet the Wizard of Oz what would you like him to give you? What animal would you choose to go on your adventure? Design your own character using Lego.
Our library is welcoming, well resourced and gives our pupils positive experiences of books, also it is an effective and economical shared resource and a centre for learning and literacy development. Its role is to help create confident, enthusiastic readers and engage our children in life-long learning.
Please make use of our library and start your children’s adventure!
“Around the school, an attractive and well-stocked library is often an indicator of effective support for pupils’ wider reading and information retrieval skills”

Brixham Library Summer Reading Challenge
The Summer Reading Challenge starts on Saturday 12th July in Torbay Libraries. Why not sign up for the challenge at Brixham Library.
How the Challenge works
Last year 1574 children across Torbay participated in the Summer Reading Challenge at Torbay Libraries. The challenge shows how libraries and schools can work together to prevent the ‘summer reading dip’ and develop a life-long love of reading.
Children sign up at their local library and receive a Mythical Maze poster.
Children read six books of their choice collecting stickers and incentives along the way.
Library staff are on hand to advise and run family-friendly activities.
Children who complete the Challenge are presented with a medal in the library, and there will be a special award ceremony assembly held in school after the holiday where they will receive their certificate.
This Summer Term our focus in the library is poetry. Already our display is full of different and exciting poems i.e. Shape Poetry, Acrostic Poetry, Alphabetical and Colour Poetry.
We are enjoying collaborating together to appreciate the meaning and imagery shown in the poems and exploring ways of reading aloud; choosing different voices, characters and intonation.
Welcome to Spring in the Library
Author Visit – Friday 28th February 2014
We are so lucky to have a local author Lisa Ford visiting our school on Friday 28th February. The book she will be reading is called ‘The Pink Flamingo’ which has been co-written by Lisa and her friend Emma.
It is a lovely picture book with a very important message:
“The tale ended well,
or so it may seem,
but always remember,
to slap on the sun-cream!”
There will be an opportunity after school to purchase a signed copy in the library, hope to see you there.
We would like to say a big thank you to Lisa Ford our local author. The whole school really enjoyed listening to your book ‘The Pink Flamingo’ which was read by Josephine with help from the ‘Seagull Drifter’…
Well done to everyone who received a library award in our ‘Act of Worship’ assembly. Keep up the effort everyone…
Reading for Enjoyment – January 2014
Quote from Grace and Molly in Year 5
“Molly and I were so excited to read for today’s story time in the Library at lunchtime. Our school focus this term is ‘In a land far far away’. Lots of our friends listened to us read the Wizard of Oz and the Emperor’s New Clothes. Everyone enjoyed it so much they eagerly asked for “another one please”, so we finished with Beauty and the Beast.” Grace – Year 5
“If I could I would spend all my time in the library reading books.” Molly – Year 5
Some Year 3 children said “the stories were great”, “I loved the stories” and they were “really good”.
Congratulations and well done to everyone who completed the Brixham Library Creepy House Summer Reading Challenge. Keep up the great work and happy reading!

Part 2: Cookie Policy
Last Edited: 23rd May 2018
This Cookie Policy explains how eSchools use cookies and similar technologies in our Services. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control their use.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by online service providers in order to (for example) make their websites or services work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner or service provider (in this case, eSchools) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website or service you are using (such as advertising, interactive content and analytics). The third parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website or service in question and also when it visits certain other websites or services.
Why do we use cookies and other tracking technologies?
We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Services to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” cookies. Other cookies enable us and the third parties we work with to track and target the interests of visitors to our Services, and we refer to these as “advertising” or “analytical” cookies. For example, the embedding of YouTube and Vimeo videos, as added by individual schools will require “advertising” cookies to be enabled in order to successfully play them. Schools that, for example, opt to track visitor data using Google Analytics will require “analytical” cookies to be enabled in order to do so. These third party cookies are used to tailor content and information that we may send or display to you and otherwise personalise your experience while interacting with our Services and to otherwise improve the functionality of the Services we provide. We also enable schools to employ cookies and similar tracking technologies in connection with their use of our Services in order to allow them to track visitors to and interactions with, their school website.
How eSchools Uses Cookies

We will not, without your express consent, supply your personal information to any third party for the purpose of their or any other third party's direct marketing.
User Embedded Content
Our Services allows schools to embed code which may potentially contain cookies. Please note embedded content, if displayed on one our websites, has been added by the school and not by eSchools. The embedded content added by the school may require additional cookies or tracking technologies to be enabled in order to function.
