Literacy Week

Literacy week has been a week of expressing ourselves in different ways. There were various fun activities planned throughout the week.

Through the week we explored facts about North Africa, Korea, Japan, India and read folk tales from around the world. We also made a collage, book jackets and dressed up as characters from different stories. We also celebrated Hindi week and had some interesting special assemblies with various Hindi performances.  I think that the best part was when an illustrator came in to show his drawings and sketches in a comic book. Next time, as a part of the literacy week, I would also like to go on a treasure hunt around the school.

I am quite sad that it only lasted a week and not forever. We had a very exciting week with lots of fun and activities and I would love to do it again. 

Celebrating Roald Dahl's birthday during the Literacy Week

Roald Dahl was born on 13^th September, 1916. I like Roald Dahl’s books because they are funny and sweet. The characters are whacky, disgusting, or funny. On his birthday, I remember him and read some parts of his books that I own. Today I finished one of his books called ‘The Twits’. When I got to know that it was Roald Dahl’s birthday I thought it was the perfect day to read The Twits. I was really happy to know that I finished a Roald Dahl book on Roald Dahl’s very own birthday! Some books of his are: Charlie and the Chocolate factory, James and the Giant peach, Matilda, The Twits, The witches, The BFG, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Esio Trot.
