KNES Book Week 2024
The Book Week activities held from 3-7
March were a vibrant celebration of literature and storytelling, engaging
students in various educational and entertaining events. The week-long event
aimed to promote reading, spark creativity, and foster a love for books among
students.
One of the highlights of the Book Week
activities was the Dino Show, where students were treated to a fascinating
demonstration and talk about dinosaurs. The show featured a large dinosaur
puppet or model in the theatre, captivating the audience with information about
these prehistoric creatures. This interactive session not only entertained the
students but also provided them with valuable insights into the world of
dinosaurs.
Another engaging activity during Book
Week was the puppet reading of stories. Using puppets to narrate tales is an
effective way to make storytelling more interactive and visually appealing for
young audiences. This activity enhanced students’ imagination and listening
skills while bringing stories to life in a unique and engaging manner.
Year 6 students had the
opportunity to attend a talk by author Ms. Amal Al Randy and a Drama professor
during Book Week. This session offered valuable insights into the world of
literature, writing, and drama, inspiring students to explore their creativity
and passion for storytelling. Sharing of experiences by the author and drama
professor motivated our students to pursue their interests in writing or
performing arts.
Book Character Day added an element of
fun and creativity to the week’s activities, allowing students to dress up as
their favorite book characters. The parade showcased a colorful display of
literary-inspired costumes, encouraging students to engage with books on a
deeper level by embodying their beloved characters. This event helped promote
literacy, creativity, and imaginative play among children.
To recognize and appreciate students’
participation in our Book Week activities, certificates were awarded to them.
This gesture not only acknowledged their involvement but also served as an
incentive for continued engagement with reading and literary events. They
helped boost students’ confidence and motivation, reinforcing the importance of
literacy and learning through books.
Overall, the Book Week activities held
from 3-7 March provided a platform for students to immerse themselves in the
world of literature, storytelling, and creative expression. By offering a
diverse range of events such as the Dino Show, puppet reading, author talks,
character day parade, and certificate awards, the school successfully promoted
reading culture and ignited students’ passion for books.
