STORY TELLING Year 1 and Year 2 were in for a literary treat on Thursday, 19th October 2023, as acclaimed author Nikesh Shukla paid them a visit! The children were captivated as Nikesh read aloud from his heart-warming young fiction book, "The Council of Good Friends." In this delightful tale, best friends Vinay, Musa, Inua, and Nish share an unbreakable bond. But their friendship faces a challenge when Vinay's cousin invades his sacred bunk bed haven, threatening to disrupt their harmonious world. With eager anticipation, the children listened intently as Nikesh brought the characters to life through his engaging storytelling. They laughed, they gasped, and they were completely enthralled by the adventures of Vinay and his friends. After the reading, the children had the opportunity to ask Nikesh questions about the book, its characters, and the writing process. Their curiosity was met with thoughtful and inspiring answers, igniting their own passion for storytelling. Nikesh Shukla's visit was a truly unforgettable experience, leaving the young readers inspired and eager for more literary adventures. The power of storytelling was evident as the children embraced the magic of "The Council of Good Friends" and discovered the joy of reading. A huge thank you to Nikesh Shukla for sharing his talent and creativity with Year 1 and Year 2. Their imaginations were ignited, and their love for books soared to new heights. Keep turning those pages, young readers, for the world of literature is waiting to transport you to incredible places!
