Day 5 of Reading Week was a celebration of imagination and creativity!

They captured the charm of Malgudi, a fictional town that resonates with simplicity, warmth, and timeless stories.

From thinking critically to expressing artistically, Day 5 proved that reading opens the doors to endless creativity and exploration.

On Day 4 of Reading Week, our students unleashed their creativity by designing unique bookmarks, each one telling its own story! From vibrant illustrations to meaningful quotes, these tiny yet powerful creations celebrated the joy of reading and individuality.

Bookmarks are more than just placeholders; they're a reflection of personal connection with books. Whether it's a favorite character, an inspiring phrase, or a splash of color, every bookmark designed today was a symbol of how deeply reading touches our hearts and minds.

At Swarnim, activities like these allow students to combine creativity with their love for books, fostering an appreciation for art and literature. Beyond their practical use, these bookmarks serve as daily reminders of the importance of stories in shaping perspectives and sparking imagination.

On Day 3 of Reading Week, our students took the stage to perform a heartfelt role-play of Oscar Wilde's The Selfish Giant. This timeless tale follows the journey of a giant whose heart softens as he learns the beauty of kindness and sharing.

Initially, the giant builds a wall around his garden to keep children away, but it transforms into a cold, lifeless place without their laughter. When he finally breaks the barriers and welcomes the children, the garden blossoms again, symbolizing the warmth and joy that kindness brings into our lives.

Through role-play, children don't just read—they connect, empathize, and internalize the emotions and morals embedded in stories. It's a dynamic way to foster creativity, build confidence, and strengthen communication skills.

As our young performers brought the story to life, they reminded us all of the importance of compassion and how small acts of generosity can create a world filled with happiness and harmony.

On Reading Week Day 2, let's dive into stories that inspire every age. From tales of curious caterpillars to life lessons in courage and empathy, there's a book waiting to spark a love for reading.

For the youngest dreamers, it's all about adventure and wonder.

For growing minds, journeys of friendship and resilience await.

For teens, profound stories teach life's biggest lessons.

Reading is more than just a skill; it's an experience that opens the doors to countless worlds, ideas, and emotions.

On Reading Week Day 1, we celebrate the joy and power of books with a collection of fascinating facts that highlight how reading transforms our minds and hearts.

What is Kindness? Kindness is Everything. Kindness is all the different ways both big and small we express care, concern, and consideration for ourselves and those with whom we share the world. Kindness exists as a smile, heartfelt words of encouragement, thoughtful gestures of affection, and compassionate acts of generosity so many of us witness, perform, and receive as we move through life. In a world filled with struggle and pain, kindness is like a deep cleansing breath that rejuvenates and refreshes us with its goodness, and gives us the strength to persevere despite our troubles. Kindness is a reminder of why we’re here and how we can each use our lives to help others. Swarnim International School is celebrating the Kindness Week and we started Day 1 to Day 5.
