Christmas Celebrations
Christmas Celebration
is a much – awaited event in Orchids. Though a lot of preparation takes place
in the depiction of ‘The Nativity Play’ the anticipation is full of pleasant
surprises like the arrival of Santa Claus amidst a lot of cheer and a wagon of
gifts. ‘The Nativity play’ was a marvelous presentation of the birth of Jesus
Christ. The school choir continued to render sonorous Christmas Carols
throughout the celebration.
This year’s Santa
indeed decided to teach the audience the quality of patience. No one knew who
was arriving as the beloved Santa till they heard the voice of Santa. Patience
is fruitful. It makes us reap the rewards.
Mrs. Mona Mehdi,
Principal of Orchids – The International School addressed the gathering and
thanked all whose ardent efforts went into a wonderful celebration that ended
with cake cutting and hearty wishes for a
‘ A Merry Christmas’ reverberating.

Field Trip - Water Purification Plant
On
13th December (Friday) 2013, students of class III, IV and V went on
a field trip to a water purification plant. This was a trip to educate children
about various steps of purifying water to make it suitable for drinking.
The
plant mainly uses reverse osmosis technique to remove impurities from water. It
also uses multiple other methods like ion exchange system to remove calcium and magnesium from water and demineralisation process to remove dissolved
impurities.
This
trip helped students to get a deep insight of different impurities present in
water and the ways to remove them. It was an educational and wonderful trip for the students of Orchids – The International School.
Book Fair
‘Be as careful of the books you read, as of the company you
keep; for your habits and character will be as much influenced by the former as
the latter.’
Orchids
highlights the benefits of reading books by organizing USSR (Uninterrupted Self Sustained Reading) week periodically to enhance students’ reading skills. Each student
of every class gets engaged in reading during a specified time during the week.
As
one of the attempts to promote reading habit among students, the school
organized a book exhibition which was inaugurated by the Principal Mrs.Mona Mehdi, who herself is a voracious reader. She
encouraged the students to take up reading as a hobby. The fair would last for
3 days.
