Book Week Magic ｜ Where Stories Come Alive
Last week, the CISK campus shimmered with the magic of books.
As the Book Week began, stories, imagination, and ideas filled every corner of the school. Whether performing, creating, or sharing, students found their own ways to express a love for reading.
Opening Doors to Imagination
The library became one of the most popular places on campus. Students brought along their favorite stuffed toys — their 'reading buddies' — to explore the world of stories with friends.
Laughter and soft voices filled the room as pages turned, creating a warm and gentle atmosphere that was as comforting as the stories themselves.
During the lunch break, the lobby of the PYP building was transformed into a small theatre for the Reading Contest.
Dressed as their favourite characters from the books, the students stepped onto the stage. They then either read or retold a passage in one minute. Each performance was full of creativity and emotion.
The audience was impressed by the students’ confidence and imagination, and applause could be heard echoing through the hall.
A Different Kind of Reading: Knowledge and Challenge
During the same lunch break, secondary school students participated in a Kahoot quiz themed around the literary giant Shakespeare.
Through engaging quizzes testing their literary knowledge, students reviewed classic works while rediscovering the joy of reading in a playful atmosphere.
The Book Fair: Bringing Reading Home
Alongside the week’s activities, CISK hosted a vibrant Book Fair in the main lobby.
Vendors displayed a wide range of English books, from picture books and young-adult fiction to science and literature.
Students and parents browsed together, shared recommendations, and discovered new titles that would soon find their way into home bookshelves, planting the seeds for future reading journeys.
Book Swap: Sharing the Joy of Reading
This year’s Book Week also featured a special Book Swap event arranged by Parent Teacher Association.
Students donated pre-loved books from home in exchange for vouchers, which they later used to pick a different book donated by another student. As each book passed from one reader to another, its story continued—spreading the joy of reading across the community.
At the same time, the library offered a selection of unused textbooks for parents to take home freely.
Books traveled beyond classrooms and into homes, creating new connections through shared learning.
Reading Together: Inspiration and Reflection
SLT has also curated a thought-provoking collection of books for our teachers, encouraging them to read and explore ideas beyond ongoing professional development and even beyond the classroom.
These carefully selected titles span themes of education, personal growth, and human stories, reminding everyone that learning is a lifelong journey.
Amidst teaching and responsibilities, educators find moments of quiet reflection, inspiring one another through reading and contemplation.
Reading at CISK goes beyond language learning—it opens minds and builds empathy.Through stories, students learn to listen, to think, and to see the world through different perspectives.
Every page they turn becomes part of a larger journey of understanding, both of the world and of themselves, as well as of others.
上周，CISK校园因为书籍而闪光。
随着一年一度的 Book Week & Book Fair 拉开序幕，整个校园都沉浸在文字的温度中。无论是创作、表演，还是思考与分享，学生们都在用自己的方式表达着对阅读的热爱。
图书馆成了校园里最受欢迎的角落。孩子们带着自己的“阅读搭档” ——心爱的玩偶，与朋友们一同探索故事世界。随着书页翻动，欢声笑语与轻声细语交织，构成了最温馨的阅读画面。
午休时分，PYP教学楼的大厅摇身一变成为阅读比赛的小剧场。
学生们装扮成书中喜爱的角色走上舞台，在一分钟内朗读或复述一段文字。他们将文字演绎得生动而真挚。
观众们被学生们的自信、创意与想象力深深打动，掌声在大厅回荡不绝。
午休时间，中学部的学生们参加了一场与文学巨匠 莎士比亚 相关的 Kahoot 知识竞赛。
通过趣味问答检验文学素养，学生们在轻松氛围中重温经典作品，重新发现了阅读的乐趣。
除了各项活动，CISK还在校园主楼大厅举办了 Book Fair。
书籍供应商带来了种类丰富的原版读物，涵盖绘本、青少年文学、科普与小说等领域。
家长和学生们共同挑选、交流、推荐——一本本新书，也为无数个未来的阅读时光埋下了种子。
Book Week 还带来了由家委会组织的特别的 Book Swap活动。
学生们将自己家里的二手书捐给学校，换取一张兑换券。活动当天，他们可以凭券挑选并交换其他同学带来的二手书。一本书从一个学生的手中传到另一个学生手里，故事也因此延续，阅读的喜悦在分享中蔓延开来。
与此同时，图书馆还将部分闲置的教科书摆出，家长可根据需求免费领取。阅读不再局限于课堂，而是在整个校园社区中流动，延伸到每个家庭的书架上。
学校管理团队也为老师们精心挑选了一系列具有启发性的数书籍，鼓励他们在持续的教师培训期间及课余时间阅读，交流心得。
这些精选的书籍涵盖教育、人文与个人成长等主题。在忙碌的教学之余，老师们通过阅读寻得片刻宁静，彼此启发、分享思考，让“学习者”与“引导者”的角色在书页之间交融延展。
在CISK, 阅读不仅是语言的学习，更是通向世界的窗口。它开启思维，培养同理心。通过故事，让学生学会倾听、思考，并以多元视角观察世界，让他们在故事的旅途中找到自我成长的方向。
当学生开始阅读，他们每翻过的一页，都成为理解之旅的重要篇章，他们开始理解世界、理解他人、更理解自我。
