Library Display - Google searching
Apologies for the poor photos, it was very sunny. I don't love this display, but again, it will do for now. The computer is made from cardboard covered in black paper.
Library Display - Roald Dahl
More Library Displays - Jacqueline Wilson
So this is author board no. 1 - with two posters from a book shop, and some printed stuff from the internet. The red envelope has leaflets from her website that are picture checklists of her books, for the students to take.
Some new library displays
I found this display very hard to photograph. It is a space of two cupboard tops. The little poster on the red box says 'Fall in love in with a good book'. The books are pink and about love. There are pink fairy style lights wrapped around them. I will neaten the lights up, and try and get an extension plug to actually switch them on!
Shelf finished
I finished the desk shelf, as started here. The inside is different, so I must get some photos once my desk is a little tidier.

The banners.....
We took a very long and sore afternoon spray painting more words on. My back is giving me issues at the moment, and this certainly made me suffer!
We then had to get wooden poles on the top and bottom of the banner, we tried using plastic tag ties to begin with (I stabbed my finger with scissors in the process) but in the end used a staple gun - much quicker and easier.
Next came the issue of actually getting fishing wire up on the girders. Our method was a blob of blu-tac and a strong throwing arm - not mine I have to add, my attempt was laughable. We did manage to get two threads up there, which then had washing line attached to it, to make some sort of pulley system.
We then had the grand pulling up of the banner. Hours and hours of thought and process all went to this moment.
Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the best moment. As we pulled it up to the top, it was apparent that the banner didn't even leave the floor. We had completely over estimated the length needed (despite much discussion and estimation). I laughed so hard I had tears down my face.
In the end we cut it half, which produced two banners of the correct length.
Tragically, we hated it. The creases and wrinkles look like an old bedsheet, and only having three words isn't effective. We had a moment of depression, but then focused on solutions. I will update next week with the solution we came up with.
