The Primary School Library explored Haiku poems as part of the National Poetry Day celebrations … “Design a Poster” winners receive certificates … and the Books of the Week.
We enjoyed celebrating National Poetry Day this week by looking at a selection of the poetry books which we have on our shelves and by practising writing our own Haiku poems. Haiku is a Japanese style of poetry which uses only 3 lines of text. The first line has 5 syllables, the second 7 and the last 5. They rarely rhyme.
Our ‘Design a Poster’ competition winners were presented with Certificates of Achievement AND a Kinokuniya book token by Ms Diane, Mr Geoff and Ms Kerry in the library. Here they are with their winning entries and HUGE thanks to Ms Diane and Mr Geoff for coming to help make the presentations...
Here are this week’s Books of the Week. We hope you enjoy them:
Khun Toi couldn’t wait to excitedly open this box as soon as it was delivered this week to remind ourselves of all the lovely new books which we chose a couple of weeks ago using our commission from June’s St Andrews International School Bangkok Book Fair. We will be getting them up on the shelves as quickly as possible so keep an eye out for them on the ‘New Arrivals’ bookcase and we will also be featuring them in our upcoming ‘Books of the Week’.
Congratulations to St Andrews senior student Pin, who has received an offer to study Economics at Brown University. Have a read to learn more about Pin’s IB Diploma journey and why she has chosen an Economics degree with an interesting concentration for her Bachelor’s.
