I'm reading ‘Mindset – The New Psychology Of Success’ by Dr Carol S Dweck. The book discusses two mindsets: the fixed mindset and the growth mindset. Reading it felt like the basic knowledge or understanding of oneself and others, which was lost somewhere in our busy lives, has been revised. There are 4 different sections in the book viz. business, parenting, sport, and relationships, but you do learn or pick up something from each segment, no matter what your main area of interest lies in. The only downside I found was that it's quite repetitive. There are numerous examples which you can easily relate to yourself or with people around you. A good book on understanding human insight at different levels. I will give it a rating of 4 out 5 stars.

Books, Roses, and Culture: World Book Day in Spanish 

# data[].attributes.body
On April 23rd,  our DP students (Spanish Ab Initio/SL/HL) explored the significance of World Book Day, learning about authors such as Miguel de Cervantes. They also discovered how it celebrated the Sant Jordi, a cultural and romantic tradition in Spain known as the “Day of Books and Roses,” where people exchange books and roses.

This activity supported IB ATL skills, especially communication and cultural awareness, while strengthening students’ cultural understanding, an essential aspect of Spanish B.

Every year, our school proudly celebrates the Day of the Book, fostering a love for reading and literature across the community. For the past four years, we have taken part in the continuous reading of Don Quijote de la Mancha, a meaningful tradition that connects students with one of the most important works of Spanish literature. This special event is televised and broadcast on YouTube, allowing a wider audience to be part of this cultural celebration. You can see our students participating at minute 2:39:15.

This year, we also expanded our activities by organizing a cultural event in the library, where students engaged in reading, discussion, and creative exploration inspired by literary works. The experience provided a vibrant and enriching space for students to appreciate the value of books and the joy of reading.

It's a funny, clever take on love in the digital age. Here are some lines from The Unrequited Love of an Olympic Pole Vaulter:

I guess it wasn't meant to be

your bar was set too high for me

it's been four years since we last met

and I haven't got over you yet.

(Funny if you don' t skip the title!)

Children were excited to reconnect with a much-loved story from distance learning, Knuffle Bunny by Mo Willems!

Working together, they took on the challenge of fixing the mixed-up pages by finding matching pairs and bringing the story back to life. As they worked, they listened to audio clips from the story, using the dialogue and setting as clues to help them think, discuss, and make connections.

There was lots of teamwork, excitement, and “aha!” moments as the children pieced the story together!
