Celebrating the Magic of Stories: A Look Back at Our Book Week 庆祝故事的神奇魅力：回顾我们的图书周

What a fantastic week of literary adventures we’ve just shared! From author visits to poetry hunts and dressing as our favourite characters, Book Week 2026 at NAIS Pudong truly brought the joy of reading to life across our whole school community. 

It was wonderful to see our students so engaged, whether they were listening to stories in the library, reading while picnic, or performing for their peers. Here’s a look back at the week’s highlights. 

We kicked off the week with a visit from author Sue Pickford Cheung, who worked with students across both Primary and Secondary in the library. Our students were captivated by her stories of growing up between cultures and were fascinated to learn how unexpected life experiences can lead to a career in writing. It was a wonderful reminder that inspiration can come from anywhere.

Armed with their favourite books, everyone settled down together for a relaxed reading picnic. There is something truly special about seeing an entire school community pause to enjoy reading for pleasure. 

Wednesday was a day of creativity and discovery. Our Year 12 CAS students stepped beautifully outside their comfort zones, performing a puppet show in the library for our youngest learners in EYFS and Year 1. It was heartwarming to see them bring stories to life and interact with the children as their favourite characters. 

Meanwhile across the Secondary school, students rotated through English Stations, exploring different book genres, reflecting on their emotional reading choices, and celebrating influential women writers ahead of International Women’s Day. 

Our campus became a literary puzzle on Thursday! Students crafted clever animal poems using techniques like alliteration, personification, and imagery—all without revealing the animal directly. The poems were displayed around the school, and everyone took part in a poetry scavenger hunt, guessing the hidden animals and identifying the literary techniques used.

The week culminated in a burst of colour and creativity as students dressed as characters from their favourite books. In Secondary, students went beyond the costumes by analysing and presenting their chosen characters in English lessons. 

We closed the week with lively English assemblies, celebrating performances, book reviews, and the winners of our Book Week competitions. Congratulations to all our Extreme Reading Challenge and Best Dressed Character winners! 

Thank you to our teachers and students for making Book Week 2026 such a memorable celebration of storytelling at NAIS Pudong.

我们刚刚度过了多么精彩的一周文学冒险！从作家到访、诗歌寻宝游戏，再到装扮成我们最喜爱的书中角色，2026年NAIS Pudong图书周真正将阅读的乐趣带给了我们整个学校社区。

看到我们的学生如此投入，无论是在图书馆听故事、在野餐的时候阅读，还是为同伴们表演，都令人无比欣喜。以下是本周的精彩瞬间回顾。

本周伊始，我们迎来了作家Sue Pickford Cheung的到访，她在图书馆与中小学部的学生们进行了互动交流。她分享的在多元文化中成长的经历深深吸引了我们的学生，而了解到意想不到的生活经历如何引领她走上写作之路，也让他们倍感新奇。这很好地提醒了我们，灵感可以来自任何地方。

大家带着心爱的书籍，共同享受了一场轻松惬意的阅读野餐。看到整个学校社区停下来，纯粹为了享受阅读的乐趣，这种感觉真的很特别。

周三是充满创意与发现的一天。我们十二年级的CAS学生勇敢地走出舒适区，在图书馆为幼儿园和一年级的小朋友们表演了木偶戏。看到他们让故事活起来，并以最喜爱的角色形象与孩子们互动，场面十分温馨。

与此同时，中学部的学生们轮流参加了英语学习站的活动，探索不同的书籍类型，反思自己的情感阅读选择，并在国际妇女节来临之际，向有影响力的女性作家致敬。

周四，我们的校园变成了一个文学谜题场！学生们运用头韵、拟人化和意象等技巧，创作了巧妙的动物诗歌——且都不直接透露动物的名字。这些诗歌被展示在学校各处，每个人都参与了诗歌寻宝游戏，猜猜隐藏的动物，并识别所用的文学技巧。

图书周在学生们的缤纷创意中达到高潮，大家纷纷装扮成自己最喜爱的书中角色。在中学部，学生们不仅在英语课上展示服装，还对他们选择的角色进行了分析和介绍。

我们以一场场热闹的英语集会结束了这一周，庆祝了学生们的表演、书评分享，并公布了图书周各项比赛的获胜者。祝贺所有“极限阅读挑战”和“最佳着装角色”的获奖者！

感谢我们的老师和学生们，让2026年图书周成为NAIS Pudong一次难忘的故事盛会！
