Hello again!
It’s the last day of term and what a term it’s been. I just wanted to say goodbye and good luck to all the pupils and teachers who are leaving for pastures new.
Your Library Service
Meanwhile, everything is a little up in the air with regards to schools returning in August. We may or may not have to change the library service. If social distancing is still in place and you can’t access the library to browse in the usual way, a ‘click and collect’ service will be in place for pupils to request books or I can recommend books for you (if you dare J). I’ll keep you up to date on the blog and Twitter if there are any changes.
Accessing Ebooks
Hopefully, we’ll have some sunny weather over the holidays; a perfect chance to have a nice, relaxing day reading in the park or garden. Or, if not, a nice, relaxing read on the sofa/beanbag/bed. A reminder that pupils, ex-pupils, parents and teachers can all access Glasgow Libraries ebooks, emagazines, audio books and music: https://libcat.csglasgow.org/web/arena/home.
All you need is your library card number (D00….) and your PIN. I am the gatekeeper of the Lochend PINs! So, if any pupils or teachers need their PIN please email me: gw17clarkepamela@glow.ea.glasgow.sch.uk
Summer Reading Challenge
The Summer Reading Challenge 2020 is now on! This is open for those up to the age of 12 in Glasgow so why not sign up? Check out the resources here: https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/
Transition Skills Programme
Going to college and university can be exciting and scary at the same time, not least as it will be a big change from school. Fear not! The Transition Skills Programme provided by Queen’s University Belfast will equip you with some skills and information to make your transition smoother and hopefully less scary. I completed all the modules and quizzes and thankfully passed them all. Phew! You can access it here: https://www.qub.ac.uk/elearning/transition-skills/
Have a wonderful summer holiday everyone!
