ISSUE 11 / WINTER 2020 2 FOR THEIR DIGITAL LIVES If there was ever a time to understand the importance of digital and research skills, it was during the COVID-19 isolation. The Research and Library Services, like the rest of the school, responded quickly to new circumstances. Junior School Teacher Librarians continued with regular library lessons and reading initiatives, often making a creative leap to keep them engaging and relevant for their Ms Suallyn Mitchelmore teaches Pre-Kindergarten online. remote students. For the Senior Library, the new way of learning was an opportunity to prioritise a couple of key digital projects. The result is our new website launched at the beginning of Term 2. The website is, essentially, an interface connecting a number of databases. We aimed to create a seamless environment, in which students can use our digital resources, classroom-specific and general help, and learning-oriented social media from home and school. Our website brings together two distinct enhancements to our digital services. The first is EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS), which enables one search across a number of school databases and the library catalogue. It helps students to stay https://library.plc.sydney/ focused on their research by removing the need to negotiate access to multiple sources, and aids their understanding of authoritative sources of information. Another project is the development of subject-specific and ‘how to’ guides to provide digital support for teachers and students. The guides do not diminish the importance of teachers’ and librarians’ collaborative work in the classroom. Rather, they aim to develop students’ independence and enhance the quality of classroom engagement through conversation and learning activities. We have also developed a page, Professional Knowledge Base, to bring the latest research to teachers and interested parents. Our new blog provides opportunities to students and staff to share news and reflections about their reading, research and learning. Mapping a journey—Find out more about PLC Reads the World at https://library.plc.sydney/events/PLC_reads_the_world The blog has been the outlet to showcase students’ work as book reviewers and editors.

PLC SYDNEY / CAMPHORA CHANGE AND NEW BEGINNINGS 3 IN THE TAS DEPARTMENT The year 2020 had already been established as a time for a change and new beginnings in the Technological and Applied Studies (TAS) department. The introduction of Stage 5 Food Technology, the second year of the new Stage 4 Technology Curriculum and revamped Stage 5 Design and Technology projects were among the challenges and exciting opportunities our staff had developed for our creative students. Year 8 Design and Technology students were set to engage throughout the year in the fields of engineered systems and digital technologies. Some fortunate students were able to experience the joy of taking that initial leap into the world of engineering, learning to construct an articulated desk lamp and creating gifs to feature on their own website design. A promotional campaign to encourage young girls to engage Some fortunate Year 8 students were able to construct in engineering will follow. Later in the year, there are plans an articulated desk lamp prior to the move to online for all students to learn to code a BBC micro:bit to create a learning from home. sustainable smartwatch which digitally measures engagement in physical activity. Who could possibly have predicted that we would soon be applying a whole new set of technological skills in the online learning environment? As we moved off campus, our incredible teachers worked collaboratively to apply their individual design and problem-solving skills that they so readily encourage in their students. Projects had to be adapted and in some cases completely redeveloped to ensure that the application of the design process could continue without access to our usual materials, tools and technologies. Year 10 Design and Technology continued to design fabrics in the online classroom, using their existing skills in Adobe Illustrator and ongoing teacher support. These are a committed When they returned to school in Term 2, Year 10 Design group of dynamic, enthusiastic designers.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Elise and the Gold Gloop by S.B. Davies S.B. Davies. At the age of six, my daughter was a good reader for her age, but refused to start reading “proper books” with chapters and no pictures. She was bored with “Horrid Henry” and fairies saving a rainbow yet once more and insisted that she was old enough to read proper books, but every one she tried was “too difficult”. It wasn’t she couldn’t read them, it was the concepts and storylines; they were all designed for nine and ten year olds. There was another problem too. She wanted to read about girls, yet all the books about girls we could find were twee and dull. My daughter is happy to read about a princess, along as she is a Ninja Princess; happy to save rainbows, as long as it involves a good sword fight or perhaps a well-planned heist. After a few months of this, my lovely daughter stopped reading. We tried most of the “first chapter books” that people recommend; all met with disinterest. So I asked her exactly what she wanted in a “proper book”. After much though, she wrote down: “Dragons, princess, zombies, vampires, ghosts, but not spiders and it should be funny and scary and have fighting in it.” We couldn’t find such a book with concepts and vocabulary suitable for a six year old – so I wrote one. I had written novels before, but not a children’s book, so I had help from my daughter to find the right level.
