It's my last day as librarian at Forge Valley School today. One final reminder from me that you don't need a single trend for maximum engagement. All you need is conviction and enthusiasm. We make them believe. We are the music makers; we are the dreamers of dreams. Peace x
Culture Week at Forge Valley School! Pastries, stuffed vine leaves, cake! I can eat in the LRC thanks to the 'party time' clause of the behaviour policy. During certain special events, pupils are allowed to eat up here too! Not a loophole, just an accommodating policy! 💃
"What's the difference!?" I hear you shout. There's a HUGE difference. A set of broad rules within which pupils are occasionally 'let off' compromises clarity & consistency. A framework of expectations anticipating flux sends a clear message in a dynamic environment!
Thanks @Scholastic - all this bought with rewards from our book fair in December. At least 75% of this is a result of empowering disadvantaged pupils to choose their own books. Now we have more new & relevant books in our library. What's the opposite of a vicious cycle?
A lot of what I'd call 'powder pink' in publishing at the moment. Not complaining. Love it. Keep it up. Funny how colours trend though...
Happy #BlueMonday everyone! Honestly, I'm not feeling too bad. I made a really good dinner last night so I can have tasty leftovers waiting for me in the staff room (after I get through this mountain of book returns!)💃 Watcha reading, folks?
Welcome back everyone! See anything you like in our break time book returns?

Getting through some book returns and causing some controversy...

Today is a good day. First task this morning (let's be honest, it's the ninth task this morning...) is to deliver these free books, furnished with book marks designed by pupils. Awesome. #schoollibrarian #librarian #readingforpleasure
Day 1 of the book fair and we are already running low on books. @scholasticuk do we get a prize if we sell them all?
Some lunchtime book returns. Do you ever get any books from other libraries? What's the protocol? What if the other library is the other side of the country (it happens)?💃
