“If you are going anywhere in life, you have to read a lot of books.” – Roald Dahl.

To foster reading culture across the school community and maintain our traditional event, EIS has celebrated Roald Dahl Day ONLINE on September 13 this year in spite of the difficult circumstances of the pandemic.

A variety of activities has been organized for students and parents to join:

Reread or listen to your favorite Roald Dahl books or watch your favorite movie adaptation. If you don’t have any Roald Dahl books at home, don’t worry, please visit SORA to borrow the books.
Competition: Build your favorite Roald Dahl characters using Minecraft, LEGO, food or any materials you like to recycle. Send your photo to your Librarians to enter the competition and win your most-wanted Roald Dahl book prize by the end of 13th September.

What a very busy week at EIS! Students and parents were engaged to enter Book Week competitions, that are Caught Reading in Unusual Places, Book Review, Writing a Story Challenge, Don’t Judge a Face by its Cover, and Poster Design. So many of the fantastic, cool, cute and sweet photos were sent to the library to compete the prizes. During morning and lunch break, students were invited to join some additional activities offered by the library, that included two drama performances from Secondary classes, that are “Red the Crayon” and “Where the wild things are”, and enjoyed the relaxing time by watching the movie “Howl’s moving castle”.

This year, we were lucky to have Niall de Burca to online storytelling us during Book Week. He told from traditional stories to horror stories for our littlest kids to Grade 10. Students and teachers very satisfied with his storytelling sessions. On Friday students and teachers were dress-up as their favorite book characters for the parade. It was pleasure to see all characters came alive vividly on that day.

Check out some of our remarkable photos during Book Week 2021.
