Week 11

Week 10 - Att prao i biblioteket
Jag jobbade i skolbiblioteket i PRAO veckan och vi gjorde många saker. Jag har bl. a. jobbat med:
Utställning: det är att presentera något med många fina bilder och fakta om det.
Katalogisering: det är att lägga till böcker, som man köpt, i datasystemet.
De här två sakerna är särskilt viktiga i ett bibliotek. Man behöver lära sig det om man vill jobba i ett bibliotek i framtiden.
Jag lärde mig också att organisera böcker i bokhyllorna. Vi gjorde också lite aktiviteter till de yngre barnen i skolan. Det är jätteskönt att jobba i ett bibliotek eftersom det är tyst hela tiden och alla som kommer in vet var de ska och vad de ska göra. Jag tyckte om att hjälpa besökaren med att låna och lämna tillbaka böcker med datorn. Det som inte var så roligt var att städa bokhyllorna och rengöra dem. Jag lärde mig många saker som katalogisering och lite saker om mig själv, till exempel jag gillar att vara i tysta platser mer än högljudda platser.

Week 16 - When the unthinkable happens
It has now been almost two weeks since the attack in Stockholm. When something like that happens it's good to have someone to talk to. If you like to talk to someone else but your family, friends and school staff, we recommend BRIS - Barnens rätt i samhället.
During a crisis it's important to stay calm and wait for correct information. If you go to Krisinformation you get the latest news from governmental resources. You can also visit Viralgranskaren to double check information you found on social media or news reports.
Week 11 - PRAO in the library
This week, we have been very lucky to be joined by a PRAO student in year 8, Sofia (Ms. Papadopoulou).
We have been keeping her extremely busy, and making the most of an extra pair of hands! She has created two exhibitions, taught and planned a lesson and kept the library running smoothly. Thank you Sofia!
How would you sum up your week here?
"It was hard but fun. I would say that this week I really learned that work can be fun and enjoyable but you have to put your mind into everything you do. It can be really hard but you have to try and not give up." Sofia P. 8B
Week 10 - Values

Week 7 - Valentine's Day
This week was all about showing love and kindness to our family, friends and peers. The library had an array of activities for students to engage with; card-making, acrostic poetry, valentine crossword and blind date with a book. The latter activity encouraged students to choose a book that hid it's title and cover, this way they couldn't judge it before they gave it a read. The library exhibition also revealed the fine line between love and heartache.
Week 5 - Harry Potter Festival
This week we are celebrating everything Harry Potter. Thursday the 2nd February is the official Harry Potter Book Night organised by Bloomsbury, an international event.
