E-books to support reading at home

10th February 2021D Fawkes

There are a wealth of resources available online to continue to support all of our children with their reading during school closures. Please use the following links.

BorrowBox

This is an app which can be downloaded onto a phone or tablet and used if you have a library membership where you can access a wide range of ebooks and audiobooks. All you need to do is input yours or your child’s library card number and PIN. This takes minutes to set up.

 

Oxford Owl

Create your own free account and you can browse a wide range of their books in ebook and audiobook version. You can select books by your child’s age range. This is also a reading scheme we use in school.

Accelerated Reader awards

12th November 2020D Fawkes

A huge congratulations to Phoebe Ofosu and Joe Roberts in Y6F for being the first children in the school to achieve AR awards this year. Phoebe has become our first Word Millionaire and has read over 1,000,000 words since September and Joe has become our first half-millionaire by reading over 500,000 words. Joe is also now extremely close to becoming a Word Millionaire.

 

Both children have shown such dedication to their reading this year and I love to hear about the novels they’re reading and see their enthusiasm.

Who will be next to achieve an AR award?

Ickabog Illustrations

8th June 2020D Fawkes

We have seen some fantastic pictures that our children have drawn to enter The Ickabog Illustration Competition.

J.K. Rowling is publishing an original story, The Ickabog (the “Story”), online (https://www.theickabog.com/read-the-story) in instalments over seven weeks, and is inviting children to help her by illustrating the Story.

A new instalment of the Story and illustration themes to go with it will be revealed daily, Monday to Friday, throughout the course of the seven weeks, so do stay tuned.

34 winning illustrations will be selected to bring the serialised story to the printed page when it is published in full, which is intended for November 2020.

Entries are open, and the competition will close at 6pm BST on Friday 17th July 2020.
