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.

The day started off with some presentations from: Wheelers Lane Primary School, Paganel Primary School’s Year 6 and 2. Wheelers Lane were talking about their favourite authors, books and what libraries will be in the future. They were also talking about how books help you to learn and how to be educated. We were talking about our Paganel Archives Project. Nicole, Maddison, Chloe K and Chloe S did a presentation about Bridget Mendler and they also did a dance called ‘Ready Or Not.’ We watched a video by a girl who had been shot in the head. Her name was Malala. She opened the Birmingham Library and she was talking about her school in Pakistan. Wheelers Lane mentioned authors like: J.K Rowling, Roald Dahl, Francessca Simon and much more. Year 2 presented and talked about their project about the Night Zookeeper.

As we came out of the theatre I saw a man listening to some music on his Ipod while he was reading a history book and he was dancing. Because he was dancing, it made me chuckle ( laugh ). We also saw an Army man just sitting in his seat doing nothing at all it was strange/weird hilarious.

The last thing was the gifts, Wheelers Lane, year 6 and year 2 from Paganel got a prize of HEROES chocolates. Holly and Lourdes handed them out while they was standing in the spotlight. Some children from Wheelers Lane got a prize too. They were relieved. Nicole and her dance group won special prizes too, Lourdes and Holly got a box of chocolates each. I was so jealous!

And finally... the third in a series of three videos from last November's Heritage Day at Weoley Castle Library. Truly Libraries did Inspire Learning on that day!

Here's our 2nd video from last November's Weoley Castle Library Heritage Day. It was filmed entirely by the Year 6 children and compiled by magisto.com.


Weoley Castle Heritage Day

Way back last November children from Paganel Primary School journeyed to our local library: Weoley Castle Library for a fantastic heritage day. Brilliantly organised by librarian Phil Coker, the day included sessions from Kirsty Nichol of Weoley Castle Ruins and former Birmingham Poet Laureate, Spoz.

And of course Paganel Archives presented all about Paganel Archives. Click this link to see the first of three videos about the day.
