Ler em férias : Hello LightHouse, livro em Inglês LE1

 




Hello LightHouse

https://www.sophieblackall.com/books/ 

 

As férias começaram. E muitos alunos partem de férias com família ou em grupo de amigos.

 

Praia e costa são dos destinos mais procurados para usufruir do mar. Eis um livro que pode levar à descoberta de faróis.

 

O livro pareceu-nos uma bela homenagem a todos os que, de forma bem solitária, durante anos, dedicaram e dedicam a vida a guardar e a assegurar o funcionamento daquelas casas de luz no meio do mar.

Esta é a segunda vez que Blackall vence a Caldecott Medal. Em 2016, foi distinguida com Finding Winnie : The True Story of the World's Most Famous Bear, um livro que já conhecem.


 

 



Lembram quando escrevi sobre Winnie  e a sua verdadeira história?


Será que,  um destes dias,  atravessam o oceano, e chegam a Portugal? Em Português, claramente!

 

Mas voltemos ao livro Hello LightHouse ...

Visitar um farol por dentro significa viajar no tempo e imaginar  a vida daqueles que viveram confinados a espaços tão pequenos e isolados. Entendemos as rotinas dos seus guardiões, conhecemos os espaços onde passavam os dias e as noites, onde dividiam a vida com as famílias. Uma vida contada ao pormenor no diário de bordo de cada faroleiro.

Temos assim, uma visita guiada por Sophie Blackall, magnificamente ilustrada e bem documentada. 


As rotinas e os factos relatados revelam a dimensão da abnegação destes guardiões e das suas famílias, não deixando ninguém indiferente.


 
A chegada de um novo faroleiro, os alterações e ajustes que fazem, a solidão de um tempo que custa a passar, a chegada da mulher, o nascimento do filho, as estações do ano...são detalhes descritos primorosamente por Blackall, que nos faz viver cada um deles de forma singular.



 
 





In this beautifully illustrated picture book you will learn all about the life of a lighthouse keeper whose job was to keep ships safe at sea.

👉Synopsis (English):

 

"Hello Lighthouse is a beautifully rendered story about a lighthouse keeper and the ins and outs of his daily life. The illustrations truly lift the story to another level, allowing readers to gather information from both the words and images to make meaning. It is sure to be a book that children return to again and again!"


Watch the days and seasons pass as the wind blows, the fog rolls in, and icebergs drift by. Outside, there is water all around. Inside, the daily life of a lighthouse keeper and his family unfolds as the keeper boils water for tea, lights the lamp's wick, and writes every detail in his logbook.

Education : Best of 2021 : Semester #1

 




https://thedesignest.net/

Looking back 2021 I've come up with a roundup of what's been the best posts of my blog The Digital Teacher G-Souto. 

As I do during the first week in January every year, I took some time off to relax with family. I went for some days to a Spa in front of the Atlantic ocean, the other side of street. So good! The weather was marvelous, sunny day, 21º degrees. Wow! We deserved it. after long weeks raining.

I'm respecting the Covid-19, now Omicron, measures since December. Yes, we are better than most European countries because we have 90% vaccinated people. However we must be very prudent, using the mask and keeping social distance. 

Christmas season in family not easy, but better than last year. We use always masks in the street, at the cinema or some concert.  We have our vaccination certificate with us to go to the movies or at a restaurant.

Well, school year was not bad. In-person lessons have been possible 2nd and 3rd trimester 2021. Students and teachers finished the school year with satisfaction and joy. 

Some cases of Covid-19 but the classes continued. Teachers were replaced. Students accomplished pandemic rules staying at home. They could continue their studies on distance learning.

Better than the past years, 2019 and 2020. Most schools have been closed. Distance learning was the great allied for students and teachers. 

Students don't like distance learning. However they received meaningful feedback on their progress and support until they achieve the goals.

Children an teen are happier at school, they learn better, develop social skills, they need to be among their school mates, learn in-person lessons, having teachers near. It was possible. 

Below you’ll find the top posts of first semester 2021 containing different themes: education & IT, Covid-19, history, languages, art, science, environment, literature, e-safety, sports, dance, children's books, animation.

The selection is based on page views but also based on pedagogical relevance of the most-read posts.

I kept the order of the most viewed, and eliminated the posts that seemed less relevant. The main reason? Sometimes some posts acquire too much visibility, not for their value but for the keywords that the search engines "like" indexing.

Je suis ravie de partager avec vous le Top des billets les plus lus sur mon blog The Digital Teacher G-Souto, 1er semestre 2021 . Vous continuez à me suivre presque quotidiennement. Je me rends aussi compte que souvent des étudiants me visitent.

Je vous en remercie, chers enseignants, chers lecteurs, de votre intérêt et m’efforce d’être toujours au plus proche d'événements concernant des idées pédagogiques afin de vous présenter des ressources et outils pédagogiques, au numérique ou pas. 

Pas si souvent comme les années precédentes à 2019. Les plusieurs confinements, des écoles fermées, l'enseignement à distance, la vaccination, tout ça m'a enlevé um peu le désir ou la force physique d'écrire.

Les outils technologiques dû le Covid-19 ont souvent substitué l'enseignement en présentiel accompagné. Dans quelques pays, les écoles ont été rouvertes. Comme chez nous, le Portugal. Bien qu'une partie de l'enseignement ait continué à distance pour les élèves confinés pendant ce temps.

Des grandes thématiques: éducation, Covid-19, langues, science, cyber-bullying, culture, littérature, animation, arts, environnement parmi tant d'autres.

Des ressources pédagogiques en ligne, et des adaptations personnelles de façon à permettre à tous les élèves la réussite dans leur parcours scolaire.


Here are the most popular posts 1st semester, 2021:

"The COVID-19 pandemic has caused chaos in education worldwide. 

Some 1.6 billion school and college students had their studies interrupted at the peak of the pandemic -- and it’s not over yet.  

Today, school closures continue to disrupt the lives of over 31 million students, exacerbating a global learning crisis."


Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General's message 2022

Countries around the world have temporarily closed educational institutions in an attempt to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

These nationwide closures were impacting hundreds of millions of students. Several other countries have implemented localized closures impacting millions of additional learners.

"Unless we take action, the share of children leaving school in developing countries who are unable to read could increase from 53 to 70 percent.  

But the turmoil in education goes beyond questions of access and inequality." 

Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General's message 2022

For example, the Republic of Uganda reopened the schools after two years of closure.





"Si les enfants s'en réjouissent, entre temps, ils sont nombreux à ne pas avoir pu suivre l'enseignement à distance." 


There's hope. Vaccines were developed and people have been vaccinated all of the world countries. Teachers and some students have been vaccinated.




Please pay attention. Follow the OHS advices.

Hoping to have inspire you in your lessons all over the last year.

May 2022 be year of hope for all of us, be brave, teachers and students. And don't forget to keep social distance, and use your masks. Oh! wash your hands often!

Teachers are teaching with passion in such difficult moments. Guiding your students the best you can helping them to adapt to a different world and prepare to a new the future. Give them hope, joy help them not to be so anxious.

Your mission from the heart!
