Thoughts from the world of school libraries and children's books. Tuesday, 14 May 2013. Shadowing The Carnegie Award. A Boy and a Bear in a Boat by Dave Shelton. I loved this. From what I have read this may not be a hot favourite to win the Carnegie award but nonetheless I loved it. When I am choosing a book to read one of the things that deters me is a review that tells me a book is “ heart-warming. 8221; or that I will find it “ uplifting. The best children’s books are those that can be enjoyed o...

A Library Lady: June 2012

Thoughts from the world of school libraries and children's books. Tuesday, 19 June 2012. CPD23 Things 6 and 7 -Networking and support systems – Both on-line and face to face. Although I have an account this is because I was invited by a friend and I did not wish to be rude and say no. However I think that this particular network is only of real value if you are actively seeking new employment. I have joined some of the groups; CPD23, School Librarians and CILIP but am not sure what to do next! For severa...

http://lottateaching.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Friday, 1 March 2013. Well, what a week this has been. Monday we cracked on with our assignment work, after a talk from a local Head teacher about interviews. Monday afternoon I did a trial run to my TP2 school. Tuesday, we created lessons to deliver at the English Language Workshop in two weeks. Wednesday was my birthday. I took cake to uni. We had a drink at lunch. I went home and wished I was surrounded by friends. Then- being a whole year older- I had a nap. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). To have a life...

Learning Never Stops: Unravelling the inquiry cycle in a PYP class room
http://naini-learningneverstops.blogspot.com/2015/01/step-aside.html
8220;Ancora Imparo” - Michelangelo. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. Unravelling the inquiry cycle in a PYP class room. People can make choices to support the sustainability of the Earth’s energy resources. Does that make sense? After a while).not really. The annual energy consumption per person. Kids love guessing where countries are, so it was a great way to address some geography at this point. I had also been reading Craig Dwyer's post. My students suddenly took charge. The junk would remain where it...

8220;Ancora Imparo” - Michelangelo. Sunday, January 26, 2014. Deeper Learning.What I learnt from a local village school in Zambia. Last week, I started a new course on moodle. The topic: "Deeper Learning". The Fisher prize toys and the dolls which my parents occasionally bought me (when they suffered from a rare, albeit heartfelt bout of guilt) would lie untouched in their boxes. For this learning, I am grateful. Today, whenever I feel overwhelmed, or bogged down with life's inevitable challenges, I ...

Thoughts from the world of school libraries and children's books. Tuesday, 26 March 2013. Shadowing the Carnegie Shortlist. The Weight of Water by Sarah Crossan. This is a coming of age story with a difference and highly recommended for readers of 11 I really enjoyed this and having read Wonder too I already think it is going to be very difficult for the judges to decide on a winner! 26 March 2013 at 10:43. Both Little M and I wholeheartedly agree with you. It is a little gem! 26 March 2013 at 16:27.

A Library Lady: April 2013

Thoughts from the world of school libraries and children's books. Tuesday, 9 April 2013. Shadowing the Carnegie Award. Maggot Moon by Sally Gardner. This is a book that I had heard and read much about over the last few months and yet I was still not prepared for its impact. This is a bleak and shocking tale and in Standish Treadwell Sally Gardner has created a teenage character with a strong and unique voice. Readers rather than younger children. I can now understand the media attention and accolades tha...
