Scholastic Book Fair - 2016:
Scholastic had conducted a two days book fair at ISH. On this occasion, the Ribbon cutting Inauguration ceremony was executed by Head of School, Dr. Oli Tooher - Hancock. The two days book fair went very well, showcasing a display of latest Fiction ( Picture and Illustrated ) and Non-Fiction books on the colorful shelves and racks. Among this varied collection, a few titles were thematic and relevant to the Guided Inquiry Unit as well.
In fact, the students from Toddlers to Grade -12's had a wonderful time going through and selecting their books. The staff also got an idea of the latest titles and genres available.

International Literacy Day Events - 2017:
September 8th was declared International Literacy Day by UNESCO on November 17, 1965. Its aim is to highlight the importance of literacy. ISH observed this special day with a range of activities. Early childhood teachers read out famous children’s books to their classes and were shown Eric Carl’s famous movies during their library session. In Elementary, teachers shared information about the importance of International Literacy Day and we're talking about the uniqueness about it.
Grades 3 and 5 students were shown few International Literacy Day videos in the Library and also shown videos about enterprising individuals like Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest ever Nobel Prize laureate. Grade 5 students conducted a short survey of our school support staff and accumulated data to ascertain their literacy level. This data will be used by them to create graphs as part of Math. Students made connections to their personal life; they shared their experiences and some of them talked about their parents who are involved in helping spread literacy in various ways.
Conceptual Thinking:
After a book reading session students are given a library activity, where the students have to promote and share book information. This is done by putting down their own ideas and thoughts in the form of a blurb. This activity aims to increase their memory power and thinking skills as well.
Story Reading Session:
Reading an Illustrated - Picture books to the students during the library session. This activity aims to improve students understanding and give an opportunity to visualize the book characters and names competently.
