This last quarter of March was an exciting and busy time for me. I am rushing to put up and update my display boards and windows. It was an exhilarating time getting my mouse clicking and dragging the functions on the Adobe Fireworks. And gotten my adrenaline pumping to its max to prepare all the upcoming display planning and posters done (printed and framed; attached with a sample sketch) before I disappears for my maternity. I've even managed to plan several display themes and posters even for October 2014 (the time when I am supposedly to be back after a 4-month long maternity leave). I can't helped it, my creativity juice was gushing out like a fire hydrant (and I am on the roll). Well, I guess better get it done now rather than wait when I am out of ideas. It would then be so stressful. Furthermore, I would not know if the 'princess' suddenly wants to see the world. It could be tomorrow, or next week or .... (which reminds me that I better pack my hospital bag by tonight along with a very thick book to keep me company).
Nonetheless, below are the 2 displays which I've put up first. The rest of the displays would be updated once the photographs are in. Poet of the Month series: The month of April 2014, we will be featuring a poet, John Agard. Honestly, I simply adore my 'little boy beneath the tree' cut-out. It would be a pity to pull it down and furthermore, I would like to push out and 'move' the poetry collection. Therefore, I've decided to have a series of poet of month theme, highlighting poets from John Agard to Roger McGough to Michael Rosen. This series of poets display would be up and updated bi-monthly till November 2014. Below are some of the poet's books on display;
#currentlyreading #onschoolholiday Photo Competition: It had been quite sometime since the Library organised any contest. I was googling for a libguide maths content when I stumbled on an interesting Pinterest picture from several libraries in the US. Few weeks ago, JM suggested about organising some contest for the Earth Day. Frankly, there wasn't enough time to roll the contest out however, I had given the contest a thorough thought and started working on the #currentlyreading #onschoolholiday Photo Competiton instead. I would like to roll this out just in time before the April half-term break. Just a little something fun for the students to do and to do it with reading during the break. So there, #currentlyreading #onschoolholiday hash tags were born (actually, #currentlyreading hash tag has been around for ages. Therefore the #onschoolholiday hash tag was officially tweeted on 24th March 2014 by @LibraryTTS with the help of Mr Ben Farr.). Publicity had been put up all over the Senior Library, website, iSams and words had been spread to the Senior school English teachers (even to the Headmaster - I'm shameless, yes I am). So now, I just need to go shopping for those exciting prizes. *peace* PS: Now going to put up displays on the Iron Lady & Reviving the Classics series.

Presenting you one of Senior Library's reading activity for the Year-8 students - Science Fiction. Well, it is the same site as the reading list - Conflict. Jacqui and I has agreed to use only one site due to the following reasons: 1. To keep and not use up all the 10 websites per account (currently we are maintaining 1 account - Atiqah's work email account) 2. To maintain one website per year group - e.g. only published one theme and hide the rest (Weebly has this hide function which is very useful). Therefore, the year 8 students could view one theme during that particular period. The challenge for this project is to cite all the images and videos. The Senior Library uses the Harvard system for referencing. So, you could see that I am a sucker for complete referencing for every images (big or small or tiny) and videos. If I were to reference that same image (look at the banner at the top of the page), I would be citing 'source:' instead. Another update for my working development - I am also part of the Reference Team as of today (16th September 2013). So I am now basically in this equation: Interactive Team (60%) + Reference Team (40%) = A stressed-out Azizah (hahaha). Or you might have been hearing myself quoting this, "I've been ripped into 2 parts, so don't get yourself (and myself) confused!" or "I am a gypsy, I'm constantly on the move." If you are lucky, you will be hearing both - which is unlikely. Next - the Great Beginning for the Senior Library website - Susan helped to broadcast on iSams for volunteers to contribute their voices for recordings. So far, only one student from the 6th form (beautiful, male voice) responded. Thank you Nathan, you are a big help. Looks like I have to do the one on one approach and offering instant rewards. So it is still progressing. The Book Awards is populating and updating the latest titles and winners. One more update - Summer Reading Transition. A memo has been sent out to Phil Edwards (Head of Year-7) to instruct all the Year-7 to update their their reading trails. It is progressing slowwwwwlllyyyy.... Last update for this blog - Halloween Display is still a work in-progress. *peace dot!* |
