On April 30, our school celebrated Reading Day, which was filled with exciting activities. Students came dressed as their favourite characters from series like Harry Potter, Ne Zha and Star Wars. The purpose of Reading Day is to foster a love for reading among students.
The opening ceremony included speeches from teachers who introduced this year’s theme: How Our Love of Books Unites Us. A prize presentation ceremony recognised students who achieved outstanding results in the Reading Scheme. At the catwalk event, Grade One student Audrey enjoyed seeing the various groups of characters, such as Waldo from Where’s Waldo?, Chinese mythological figures, and the emotions from the movie Inside Out.
For the Read Around the Campus segment, classes were assigned to different locations with a book in hand. Avid readers appreciated the silent reading time outdoors.
We were fortunate to have a special guest, author Yi Shu, who delivered an engaging talk. He prepared interactive activities and shared his creative writing skills.
After a satisfying lunch break, the game booths opened. Students chose from various reading challenges and could exchange their earned stamps for rewards.
“We got to trade them for a card pack, and I even got a four-star Bowser!” exclaimed Isabel, a Grade Five student.
Edan, a Grade Four student, mentioned, “Even though I didn’t have time to visit all the game booths, I had a lot of fun.”
Associate Vice Principal Ms Pak concluded that Reading Day was a success.
