Literary Week in the Library by Ms. Anju Dutt, Librarian


We celebrated Literary Week in the school library from  9th -13th Sept.
It started off with the coming of famous personality Ms. Leila Seth the first women justice of India also the author of books “We the children of India “and her autobiography “On Balance” on the first day .The children from Grade-4 and 5 had an interactive session with her and they discussed all about

the constitution of India and asked her a lot of questions and she was astounded by the knowledge our children had about the constitution. The same day we had the book-fair which kick-started the literary week and it was a big hit with the primary school children.


As we had Roald Dahl’s  birthday in the same week i.e

13th Sept we thought of celebrating the whole week by reading his books and having different activities planned accordingly. Roald Dahl’s  famous book “The Enormous crocodile “was read to children  with props from     Grade-Nursery till Grade-3 and they all  enjoyed doing activities like colouring and making crocodile  bookmarks.

A quiz was organised for children of Grade-4 to 7 from Roald Dahl’s books “Matilda” and “Charlie and the chocolate factory” and the winners were presented books as gift from the library .The children enjoyed the quiz and wanted it to be done quite often in the library.
