At today's assembly, the school celebrated the launch of an innovative book which features photographs of the children who created it on the front cover. The artwork was designed and the rhyming story written in one of artist Melissa Muldoon's after-school clubs, with help from children's author Susan Quayle. The book is about The Riviera Line, which goes through Starcross - from Exeter, to Newton Abbot, and then to Torquay and Paignton.
The Seaside Train is on sale at the school for £4.50, and on Amazon for £5.99 plus postage and packing. All proceeds from the book will go to the Starcross Primary School's Parent Teacher Association, and the monies will be spent on the children.
Also on the front cover is the headmaster, Iannis Ireland, and Celia Minoughan who is the Projects Officer at Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership. The children presented Celia with some flowers, and a chocolate rabbit.
The book is available from The Westbank Charity Shop in Starcross and from Starcross Primary School

[ The Starcross History Peacocks' Tails that Starcross Primary school children had made were all on show at today's assembly as well. The children made the tales in Melissa Muldoon's after-school Peacock Club. (for our St George's Day Peacocks Tails' History Trail around the village) ]
