Bangkok Prep is brimming with pride as their students have published two original books.
The Greedy Mosquito is a colourful and illustrated picture book, written and created by students aged 5 to 8 in Years 1-3 during the school’s annual Book Week event.
The Greedy Mosquito is a story about a greedy mosquito that travels through the jungle on an adventure, taking a nibble from all of the animals that she meets.
“The children worked hard to create a range of jungle and animal textures that were featured in the illustrations and some of the children helped to craft the wonderful rhymes in the story. The results were so impressive that the Bangkok Prep Library decided to publish the book,” explained Pepa O’Donovan, one of the teachers supervising the publication of the book.
The Poetry Anthology is another student-led publication that will be published in June 2015.
Written by students from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 5 (Years 3 to 13), the book includes poems in English, Mandarin, Thai, French and Japanese.
The book is a compilation of both the winning and shortlisted poems from the school-wide poetry competition, and showcases the literary and artistic talents of Bangkok Prep students.
The themes revolve around monsters, the generation gap and deception.
“Poetry is often seen by students as a strange kind of writing, difficult and esoteric, a kind of puzzle box that in English class you are occasionally asked to try and work out. This is a shame, since poetry includes some of the finest examples of how language can be used,” pointed out John Lockwood, Bangkok Prep’s Secondary English Coordinator.
The Greedy Mosquito is available at Bangkok Prep’s library for Baht 250 while the Poetry Anthology will be available in June and given free of charge to all the families at Bangkok Prep.
