Could you please place a handful of these labels in the next hamper coming our way.
Thanks, ijm30

The current assignment for this course indicates that the Education Library holds readings necessary to complete the task. This is not the case. I have spoken to the lecturer and she acknowledges an error in updating the material. Please suggest to students enquiring about these readings that the check on LEARN or with the lecturer. Thanks

The Education Library has print copies of the new National Standards.
These are not so easy to find in the catalogue:

National standards : information for schools / Ministry of Education. LB 3058 .N5 .N5321 n 2009
Reading and writing standards for years 1-8 LB 1576 .R2867 2009
Mathematics standards for years 1-8 QA 135.6 .M4268 2009

Also, online through TKI

Education Library is very short of the following labels for the satchels.
Could you please spare some of your supplies and put them in the hampers for us. Thanks.

Come and visit us to see the display of masks.

Currently on display in the Education Library on the Dovedale Campus is an exciting array of creative and thoughtful ‘Identity’ masks. The 300 level Bachelor of Teaching and Learning students are mid-way through a compulsory core curriculum course in Visual Art, EDAR261, where the Practical component of this course is exploring drawing and mask-making. Students were required to create a mask using the rich concept of ‘Identity’ to explore and develop their ideas.

Joining this exhibition is a selection of masks and visual journals from two classes of Year 7-8 Cobham Intermediate School students who have worked using the same ‘Identity’ brief.

Over the next two weeks our UC students will work with these Cobham school students and from several other neighbouring primary schools in learning sessions centered around responding to these mask artworks in this exhibition.

This is a great opportunity to visit an on-campus exhibition of quality.
Lecturers were Gina Haines and Nicki Dabner.

Does anybody know one?

We need one (or two) for a story tonight.

A nice story. I promise.

And please forward this to anyone else you think may know one.
