Light on the Library
This is the first of, I hope, many updates on the Senior Library at Emanuel School.
This term we trialed social gaming with a Minecraft Club. It has been fantastic to see the students creating new and exciting worlds in Minecraft Education edition. This is building their collaborative and problem solving skills, as well as being a place of lively communication about the action in the game. ( Mondays and Fridays in L04)
We have also had success with a roll-out of board games at lunchtimes. We have a huge selection of games including chess, checkers, cards, uno, Pictionary and more for the students to play. (Monday to Friday, Senior Library)
The Library has plenty of study carrels for students at lunch and recess to work on, even though it is a shared space. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday L04 is open for students to work in a quieter space within the Senior Library.
Charlie McAskill, our Library Technician, has been busy with a range of wonderful displays of new and themed books. She is also the first port of call if you want book recommendations (or you want to suggest books for the Library) and finding books in the collection.
