A child’s brain forms connections which are strengthened by activities like reading that promote healthy brain development that lasts a lifetime.
Nova Pioneer Ruimsig (NPR) believes that reading stories is a catalyst for children’s imagination and curiosity, and enables them to learn the difference between real and make-believe.
On Friday, April 25 NPR celebrated Book Character Day for which learners and staff dressed up as characters from their favourite books.
According to the school the day was an educational event that was planned and implemented with the idea to trigger the children’s imagination and make them feel like their favourite character.
Learners brought their books to class and spoke about why they liked the story and who their favourite characters were.
“The learners were ecstatic to see their teachers dressed as their favourite characters.
“The day was a big success with the learners dressed up as Red Riding Hood, Batman, Princess, Tortoise, Paw Patrol and many more. By getting learners passionate about books, we hope to foster a culture of reading and writing at Nova Pioneer Ruimsig,” said the Head of the School, Carla Hercules.
