Book Week

I've just had my first book week in Hong Kong. As usual I've breathed a sigh of relief once it's over, as book week is always busy. Lots of fun though, and I love seeing the kids being so enthusiastic about reading.

Two big differences I noticed this week... firstly it is the responsibility of the entire language committee, and not just me. It took a lot of pressure off, with so many people to help out.

The thing I missed was that I am used to having a national theme, and the national awards for Book of the Year. Over here, it is just a school book week. That is, each school decides if/when they will hold their own week to celebrate books.

Anyway something I couldn't get away from was book character dress up day. I always seem to have a last minute panic deciding who to go as.

This year I decided to go as Tashi - a fabulous series I've introduced to our year 2 & 3 kids. I was glad they recognised me, even if the rest of the school didn't!
