These two weeks had been very busy. All students in Senior School would be returning all their textbooks to the library. Book in prestine, torn & falling apart conditions are being transacted. Those who have yet to return any would be hunted down ferociously. And those who succumbed to our ferocity would have to pay up (of course if the books turns up, we will be an angel to return the $$ to them). Anyway, this is our team! We are ferociously 'gung-ho' and we will charge (you with money to pay for the books you have not returned). Beware and be wary!

My personal favourite is no. 4 http://www.thebestcolleges.org/amazing-libraries/
The transition orientation will be going from Monday morning, 11 June 2012. Year 6 would be coming to Senior Library for orientation facilitated by Jacqui.
If you are wondering, what it is all about visit our Student iZone (use the drop-down button on Orientation). This website is for students’ use. They could participate in online contest or quiz (in the future). As for now, they use it to get the Orientation questions. How do they do that? Basically, they would be using iPod Touch to capture the QR codes (pasted all over the Interactive Zone) to get the questions. An answer slip would be given to them at the beginning of the orientation – so that they could jot down their answers. The questions are simple and specially crafted to enhance their thinking skill, searching skill and communication skill. Elements such as reading, listening, observing and interacting were also embedded in the questions through videos, podcasts and slides. We are doing a dry-run this afternoon from 3pm – 4pm. If you are interested to participate, do let us know. This project is jointly built by the iZone Team (a.k.a Interactive Zone Team) I've created another Weebly. This is solely for students' use. We are gearing to put more stuff online now as the School encourages students the use of iPad. Promotion, contests and what's not would be included in Jacqui's lesson.
The upcoming project done by all of the Interactive Zone team would be the Transition 2012 Orientation. Year 6 would be coming in to explore the Senior Library. They would be using the iTouch to hunt for the stations (1-11) and get to answer questions. The iTouches would be used to capture the QR codes and get access to the questions on the website created just for this. Another on-going project which Atiqah, Nurul & I are consolidating is the Inhospitable Places. This is to encourage the Year 6 to read books of their age and also to expose themselves to a different theme. This website is a compilation of books of the theme appended with the summary, a video, a podcast, online excerpt and many more. This particular project is time-consuming but it is highly successful and effective for teaching and learning. Again, the students would be using iPads to access the titles. We can now forgo the tedious work of printing and such. We now go online.The downside is that the Internet is super slow and Thank you Susan and Jacqui for organising this tea party. We have chips, cakes, chocolates, scones + jam, home-made sandwiches, pastries and cookies. Sandwiches were specially made and prepared by You-know-who (but none other by Ms Batty). The picture (left) showed what we have before the party started. I just forgotten to take more pictures of all of us eating. Clearly, we were too hungry to remember. |
