Libraries Inspire Learning Report by Nicole

At ten thirty (in the morning), we arrived at the new Birmingham library in town. That day Maddison , Chloe.s and I were doing a presentation and dance based on Bridgit Mendler. We had to wait a while to get into the theatre, but it gave us time to have a look around the main part. Finally, we sat in the theatre - my nan was there to watch. Up to then my highlight of the day was actually doing the presentation and the dance; my heart was thumping but when it was over I was relieved.

Not long after we had our lunch - on the third floor terrace. It was so hot! It was a really exciting lunch, we could see all of the views and everything seemed to be so small. We had about a half an hour lunch and a very quick run around. Maddison and I played a game called ` what if’. It was full of laughter.

Right at the end of our day we had a get together in the theatre. Holly and Lourdes handed out all of the rewards. My group ( Madison , Chloe.s and me) won the reward for best presentation we were so proud of ourselves. We could not believe that we won the reward. Each class including Wheelers Lane Primary were given a box of chocolates. That is a lot of chocolates - in total seven boxes of chocolates was handed out.

We went the  the gold dome at the top.

Maddison's Libraries Inspire Learning Report

On Monday tenth we went to the new Library in town we got there about ten. Once we got there we had a amazing assembly we had loads of presentations and before 11 we had a little break then after me and my friends Nicole, Chloe .s and Chloe .k we did a presentation about someone called Bridgit Mendler an actress and singer, and we also did a dance to one of her songs “Ready or Not.” It went amazingly well: everyone absolutely loved it and we absolutely loved it too!

After the assembly we proudly walked up like explorers on to the Third Terrace  for lunch. The view was fantastic. We were high, but not as high as the top - now that`s high! After we ate we slowly walked backed down to the hall where we got into groups and then we would go and explore the library it was fun. First we got into groups me and some others were in Mrs. Tonks group and we went up the escalator  and we came by the glass lift (which we didn’t go in because it was broken).

After that we strolled into the study area and they have mini microbes they are things that you put on these little projectors and they have extremely old news papers that are on them.

Then after we been in there we strolled into the massive book area with lots and lots of books and then  we walked out of there and we strolled into this room with maps in then we had a little look at the maps.  After that we walked around a having a look. We had a look at the Shakespeare Room and Morgan pretended to pick his nose but it was the statue’s nose - it was really funny! We also saw the view from the top it was an epic view. We saw everything. Then after we had a fabulous walk round. Finally we had to go back to the hall for some prizes.

The prizes were for the best presentation and we won the creative presentation which is a Minecraft code which we all are sharing and two of us got a wooden pencil case with coloured pencils and we were extremely chuffed because we never thought we was going to win it. Then we left the building, got back on the coach and discussed what we liked about the day and whether we enjoyed it.
