Cultural Fest (27/4/2012)

 The new academic year began on the 2^nd of April with a lot of enthusiasm, new resolutions and much anticipation. Yet another academic year with several curricular and co-curricular activities planned started and new students joined the family of Orchids. The learners got their new books, the course was introduced, classes started and a month’s syllabus was completed. Now was the time for breaking for Summer Vacation - a time for travel, a time for rest and a time for proper planning with a few assignments completed. But the Break needs a Bang! That was exactly what ‘The Cultural Fest’ lent the occasion. More than a week was spent in discussions on the programme to be presented and the ways to present it well. Each class squeezed their practice in the limited time available. The ‘Fest’ on April 27 started with ‘Vinayaka Sthuthi’ by the students of Classical Dance and was followed by classwise performance. Several aspects like best behaviour, best display boards and the conduct of assemblies along with the day’s participation, were taken into consideration to select the Best classes and they received their trophies from the Principal of Orchids, Mrs. Mona Mehdi. A spectacle of delightful dances and music ended the session and announced the vacation with a bang.

Theme: Himachal Pradesh - The Land of Snow Mountains

Students of class VIII presented thematic assembly based on the theme “HIMACHAL PRADESH- The Land of Snowy Mountains” during the days 16/4/12 to 21/4/12.

On the first day they spoke about the location and climate of HP. They depict the land of snowy mountains with green sari and white shawl.

On the second day students dressed up in HP traditional costumes. Costumes of HP reflect a rich diversity owing to the plethora of culture and religion. Scarves and shawls are universal with women while the men can be found in various types of kurtas and typical Himachali caps. On the third day a power point presentation was shown to apprise the audience on the different adventurous sports and tourist destination of HP. Being April 18, students gave a presentation on the formation of INA. One student dressed up like Subhash Chandra Bose and proclaimed the slogan ‘Give me blood, I will give you freedom’.

On the fourth day, different handicrafts of the state were displayed by the enthusiastic students. They showed various handicrafts of HP such as carpets, wooden works, paintings, metal wares, shawls and the famous Pashmina shawls. Students started the fifth day of the assembly with much more vigour and zest. They displayed and spoke about different fruits of HP and informed the audience that HP is being recognized as the apple state of India. Students concluded the last day of the assembly with a Hindi song, Pardesi Pardesi Jaana Nahin. They danced in tune and tapped their feet rhythmically. The synchrony and positive vibes they emitted made the audience spellbound.

Indian National Army Day (18/4/2012)

Indian National Army Day was observed in the school on April 18. Students of class VIII dressed up like Subhash Chandra Bose and loudly proclaimed his words ‘Give me blood, I will give you freedom’.

INA is the manifestation of Subhash Chandra Bose’s transformation from a Gandhian freedom fighter to an armed revolutionary challenging the might of the British Empire. The INA was also known as the Azad Hind Fauj. It had a combat strength of 40,000 troops. At a rally in Burma, S.C.Bose famously proclaimed, ‘Give me blood and I shall give you freedom’. His great oratory skills always inspire the troops of INA during their fight for freedom.
