#ThisIsFourForest #CuriosityInAction 📚💥 Something AMAZING happened at the Book Fair in Zug today!
Philip, a brilliant Grade 4 student from LMS/Talentia, created his own geography game — and is confidently selling it to fellow students and visitors! 🌍🧠
His game features all 193 UN countries, flags, and fun facts. Talk about turning curiosity into action! 🙌
He was curious about the world — and instead of just reading about it, he built something. That’s curiosity in its purest form.
This is what learning looks like when passion meets creativity. Bravo, Philip — you’re a game-changer!

📚💥 Etwas BEEINDRUCKENDES ist heute beim Book Fair in Zug passiert!
Philip, ein großartiger Schüler aus der 4. Klasse (LMS/Talentia), hat sein eigenes Geografie-Spiel erfunden — und verkauft es mit echter Überzeugung an Mitschüler und Besucher! 🌍🧠
Mit allen 193 UN-Mitgliedstaaten, Flaggen und spannenden Fakten. Neugier in Aktion! 🙌
Er war neugierig auf die Welt — und statt nur darüber zu lesen, hat er etwas Eigenes erschaffen. Genau das ist echte Neugier.

#FFReadingWeek #ThisIsUs✨ Who says reading is a solo sport?
Today, our Grade 4 students became reading buddies to our 2nd Kindergarten explorers — and the magic was real. 💫
From giggles to wide-eyed wonder, stories came to life in every corner of our school. And just like that… books became bridges. 📖🤝
💬 Do you remember who first read to you? A sibling? A parent? A friend?
Tag someone who helped you fall in love with reading — or drop the title of a book that shaped your childhood! 💛👇
