Schools : April in Review & Hold Still Photo Contest Coronavirus


The National Portrait Gallery are asking you to help capture the spirit, the mood, the hopes, the fears and the feelings of the UK as we continue to deal with Coronavirus outbreak.

Completely free and open to all ages and abilities, Hold Still will capture a snapshot of the UK at this time,creating a collective portrait of Lockdown which will reflect resilience and bravery, humour and sadness, creativity and kindness and human tragedy and hope.

One hundred shortlisted portraits will feature in a virtual exhibition on the Gallery’s website as a gallery without walls, open to all this August. And a selection of images will also be shown across the UK later in the year.

The images can be captured on phones or cameras and each image will be assessed on the emotion and experience it conveys rather than its photographic quality or technical expertise.

 The closing date for submissions is the 18 June 2020.

Education:

If you teach in the UK, invite your students to participate at this contest by capture a snapshot from a person of their family, someone they know or see.

To inspire, tell students to explore all the entries so far here

Of course, if you live and teach in another country suffering COVID-19, you can propose to a National Museum the same activity. Or even create a vlog with the participation of your students on the same theme.

 And now, time to the review of the most popular posts of April...

Here are the most popular posts of the month:
Children's book : My Hero is You : how kids can fight COVID-19
Hoping you're doing well on the reopening schools. Your students need you! They missed school, classmates and you as a teacher!

If you're already back to school, stay safe!

Hope and resilience! Be kind to those who need you. And patient with your students! It's a difficult time to you and to them.

April rundown of the most read posts




http://wa1.www.unesco.org/

Last Sunday, 3 May, Unesco celebrated the World Press Freedom Day. The theme highilited "Towards Better Reporting, Gender Equality, & Media Safety in the Digital Age."
Every year since 1993 which celebrates the fundamental principles of press freedom; to evaluate press freedom around the world, to defend the media from attacks on their independence and to pay tribute to journalists who have lost their lives in the exercise of their profession.



How nice! Google celebrates today Nellie Bly with a doodle honoring the 151st birthday of avant-garde journalist , and I cannot love it more!

 "Throughout her life and career, Nellie Bly spoke up for the underprivileged, the helpless and minorities, and defied society’s expectations for women. We love her adventurous spirit, and we share her belief that women can do anything and be anything they want. So when it came time to honor Nellie with a Doodle, we wanted to make it special. 

 Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs wrote, composed and recorded the original song about Nellie Bly to celebrate this intrepid investigative reporter” 

 Doodler Katy Wu 

 Do yourself a favor and take a minute to check out this outstanding tribute! 

 Two subjects - press freeedom and gender equality - both in one World Press Freedom Day that teachers can introduce into the curricula. Nellie Bly is a great topic to debate in the classroom.
Now, let's back to the theme of this post.  

As well, at the end of every month I put together a list of the most popular posts of April. You will have posts written in English, French and Portuguese.

Wherever you are, I hope that those of you back to school last week, after Spring holiday, have the courage and enthusiasm to go ahead with new subjects.

As you know Finnish schools are embracing a radical approach to teaching. One major initiative is to encourage teaching by topic instead of by subject. 

Nothing new. I teached by topics into curiculum last fifteen school years and students worked great. true!

Hope will you feel inspired in one or two subjects published on April on my blog. I think so! Numbers are great!
