Novellascape

“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.”
– Mary Lou Cook

Novellascape was held on 10th February 2024 in the Grade 4 classrooms. The Class Teachers and English Teachers along with the associate teachers helped students in decorating the classrooms and the boards. Students speak about their books, describe the process of creating storyboards as well the flow of the writing process to the parents.

From the minute students walked into the campus in their dapper costumes- as authors or book characters, we knew that Novellascape had begun on a grand note. It offered glimpses into the writing style of our students.

For parents, it was an enthralling experience reading the various genres that other students had chosen to write about. They were truly fascinated to see the wide range of topics across the four classes and felt that it was unimaginable to see such unique work from students as young as 9 or 10 years old. For teachers, it was a moment of pride to see the authors take on the questions posed by the parents, the jingles that they sang effortlessly and speak about the writing process and talking about their books.

As always, Novellascape proved to be a kaleidoscope into the world of student writing- what we all saw through it was the various patterns of writing, the colourful characters, and the unique designs that the student novellas presented to them- all through the looking glass of Grade 4.
