ENGLISH READING WEEK 2023


National Public School, Kalkere, celebrated English Reading Week from Tuesday, 11th July to Tuesday 18th July 2023. To enable students to appreciate language and literature, a variety of literary pursuits were curated, engaging students from classes 1-12. In the morning assembly, two students dressed up as Ruskin Bond and Sudha Murthy spoke about their favourite books after which our Principal, Ms Shyla Purushotham declared the English Reading Week open.
To inspire students to read, interesting activities like book reviews, DEAR (drop everything and read), poster making with slogans, biography poster making, word Bingo, buddy reading, story time, puppet show and picking out idioms and proverbs from the assigned book of their reading were conducted. The highlight of the programme was the creation of a fantasy world from The Jungle Book-a scenario brought alive in the form of artistic cutouts and short skits - all done by the students. The Closing Ceremony witnessed one of the students sharing her thoughts on her experiences of the past week and the curtain came down with a meaningful and motivating speech by the visiting author Ms Scharada Dubey.
So, we pledged to Read, Lead, Succeed!!
