The Primary School is celebrating Literary Week from 10th
September 2012 to 14th September 2012. The main emphasis during the week is to
encourage children to inculcate the habit of reading, to do so various
activities to push reading have been going on in the Primary School.
The week began with a bang!!! On Monday morning, the
students from Pre nursery to Form 2, came to school in their pyjamas with a
cuddly toy and enjoyed bedtime stories with their form tutors. During the day
students from all the classes wrote book reviews and put them up on the river
flowing through the Primary School corridor. All the classes even redesigned
the cover of their favourite books and did an amazing job at it.
Tuesday was another exciting day. We had an author, Ms.
Anupa Lal coming to read to students of Form 2 and 3. Students thoroughly
enjoyed the stories told by her and are looking forward to buy her book from
the Primary School Book Fair. Students also wrote more and more book reviews to
float in our river.
Wednesday was a day full of literary activities for
students. Mr. Ajit Narayan, an illustrator and cartoonist, took a workshop of
Form 3,4 and 5 on drawing cartoons. Students learnt a lot from the session.
Later in the day, form 4 and 5 had a workshop with Dr. Advani on ‘Spoken
Poetry’. Students really enjoyed the session and presented poetry in groups to
each other. Other classes up to Form 3 read Eric Carle’s books and made artwork
inspired by the stories.
When students walked into the school on Thursday morning the
book fair was all set up. The classes up to Form 2 visited the book fair with
their form tutors, chose books to buy and read with their form tutor in the
classes. 
Also Ms. Anjali Raghbir, an author came and talked about various art
forms to Form 3, 4 and 5. Students also made lovely paintings with her. A
special thanks to the parents who took time out of their busy schedule and read
stories to students in various classes of the Primary School.
