“ Book Week” at Indus

Everyone one here has heard of the word “book” right? But why are books so important? Books play an important part of our lives because they:

Broaden our imagination

Give us interesting vocabulary

Relax and strengthen our mind

Let us have fun and be more  intelligent

How do students feel about books? I’m sure every teacher and parent has bombarded us with orders to read. But many students don’t listen and end up whiling away their time playing video games, watching television etc. These either decrease brain power or keep it hovering somewhere.  Those who do listen, good for them! As Mr. Walt Disney said “There is more treasure in books than all the pirate loot in Treasure Island.” It’s good to read so that you can get through school easily and to motivate students to read, Indus International School has set up “Book Week”. Book week is a celebration of reading. It motivates good reading.  We will be doing fun activities like slogan writing, writing book reviews, making book marks and writing stories. But, of course, you have to read!

After the Indus school activities on the 12^th we have two special guests coming to our school on 13^th and 14^th.  They are Mrs. Katia Novet Saint Lot, the author of “Amadi’s Snowman” and Mrs. Dipa Kiran. They are going to conduct a few activities for us. To wrap it up on the 16^th we have a Book Fair. You can buy a lot of books to read at home. What fun!

The class of Grade 4 thinks that “Book Week” Is a wonderful opportunity to read new books and learn about them. We are so into reading that we even compete to see who reads the most books. Everyone should be excited about “Book Week” and we look forward to seeing you at the “Book Week”.

Importance of Reading

In today’s world of internet, television and multimedia reading is still the most essential skill to get knowledge. Books are considered to be man’s best friend. Reading helps to improve our concentration and thinking skills. It also improves our vocabulary and communication skills. Books prevent our brain from being idle. They take us into a beautiful world of imagination and knowledge. We many read for pleasure or to know new things. So friends stop being couch potatoes and read!

Scavenger Hunt

This is one of the major events, which happens in the Indus Library, in order to make the children familiar with the resources that are available in the library. While doing so students become familiar about the library  resources, and  the classification system as well. This exploration help the students to locate their required information at ease for their research topic.
