The children’s author Roopa Pai was invited to do a book reading for our students, she happily consented to be a part of the celebrations and was here on time, students were very happy to interact with her and the way she read the story with the activities were really superb.
The specialist story teller Deepa Kiran and her session with the students was very interesting and entertaining. Students enjoyed her sessions. As a practitioner of movement therapy she has them incorporated into the story telling, was very innovative.
I Must congratulate the students who have dressed up like characters from your favourite fictions and entertain the students, it was so fun to watch them at the same time it had a theme behind it, i.e., read, read & read. few pics for you followed by a reflection of our students,

Library Week - 2010
‘Library Week’ was – there was no other word for it – fun ! You might thing we had to sit and read for hours together, but as a matter-of-fact, it was nothing like that………
It started of with an assembly and Mr. Tucker came to give a brief speech on ‘reading’.
Later on, the younger kids (PYP students) got to do some activities. They colored, wrote stories and read and had the most enjoyable time ever.
Meanwhile, a Book Report Competition was being held for us MSPs. You had to talk a book review on any book you have read. The judges would choose who had done the best and award them. All the contestants were from 6th grade. Natalie got 1st place, Loren got 2nd place, and Rishika got 3rd place. Let me take a moment to mention the other participants – Desdemona and Anirudh!
Also, Roopa Pai the author of The ‘Taranauts’ series arrived to talk about her books and the forthcoming release of ‘The Race for the Glo Rubies’, the 4th book in the series. We did activities and puzzles on the books and had a fabulous time listening to her read a small snippet from book 3.
We also learned that Library Week was not just about reading, playing games or doing activities, it is held to understand the importance of reading and the impact it brings on us. It is fun, and effective in many ways. We improve our grammar and vocabulary too. Overall, Library Week was a great experience for everyone and we all are looking forward for another!
