October 2016
October is celebration time!
We've only just got past the Autumn Moon Festival and now we have Divali and Halloween to prepare for! We will have books on display to teach children about the Divali festival so that everyone has an understanding of the Hindu Festival of Lights. We will also get our spookiness ready for the spirits that come out on All Hallows Eve, and haul out all our creepy stories for those who want to scare themselves.
We actually just love any excuse for a good book display...

For information on her books, and a bit about who she is visit her site on http://yingc.com/wordpress/.
We will be sending order forms out shortly so that children can purchase her books directly through Bookazine before her visit and have them signed by the author when she is here.

Hong Kong Young Writer's Awards
The Hong Kong Young Writer’s Award is a Hong Kong wide writing and art competition that Peak School students are encouraged to enter. Every year, the HKYWA committee selects a topic and children can write a piece in several categories: Poetry, Non-Fiction or Fiction or create a piece of cover art.
Entries are accepted from all schools across the city and beyond so competition is high, but Peak School has consistently placed well in each category and in 2014 we had a finalist in every category, with several pieces published in the Anthology collection (left).
Library Books
Dont' forget to make sure your children have their Library books packed in their bags the night before their Library Day.
It is also a nice way to gently encourage some independence by getting them to do it themselves!
