Primary school was buzzing with excitement the entire week from
10th Sept till 14th Sept as we enthusiastically had our
literacy week celebrations.
The theme for literacy week was ‘Folktales from around the world.’
Grade 3 decided on looking at ‘Humour’ in folktales around the world
B .F. Skinner has rightly
said “We shouldn't teach great books; we should teach a
love of reading.”
The week long literacy week
witnessed lot of activities planned to spread the essence of reading to one
and all. Children in grade 3 were involved in book mark making and book cover
designing for the books they read. The book ‘The Silly Chicken’ from Hongkong, ‘ The
Monkeys Drum from India’, ‘Teeny Weeny Bop’ from UK, ‘ How turtles got its
shell’, The dragon who could not breathe fire’ etc. was cherished by one and
all. They also tried linking the attributes and attitudes the silly chicken
displayed and wrote it down. The students did role play of the stories read
by making stick puppets themselves.
                        We were happy to have Ms. Nidhi Choudhary who narrated the story ‘The cap seller and the monkeys’ using felt boards and props which was liked by children. We were also blessed to have Mr. Muto a renowned storyteller who read out folktales to the children which they thoroughly enjoyed.
The day culminated by children
coming to school in costumes of their favourite characters from the stories read
in the class.
Truly it was an enriching experience
to each one of us.
