‘Mother and Child Competition’
Competitions-co-curricular
or extracurricular are common in schools. Some competitions remain unique and
noteworthy involving the participation of parents. Parents share the enthusiasm
of their children and participate in the activities organized especially for
them to the delight of everyone.
One such
competition organized for ‘Mother and Child’ at orchids on 27/7/13 was well
attended by parents of the children of classes PPI-VIII. It was a pleasure to
observe the mother and child at work either at ‘Face Painting’ or at making
‘Best out of waste’.
Their joy of
participation and alacrity to wind up their work within the stipulated one hour
and admirable coordination they have, make each and every ‘Mother and Child’
team, a winner indeed.
Mrs.Neha, an
artist herself who helps many learn art in her Institute of Arts judged the
work of the teams. Cheerful participation of all the teams made the event a
successful one.

USSR
‘Books are the quietest and
most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of
counselors, and the most patient of teachers’.
One of the objectives of Orchids is to promote reading habit
among students. So it insists on USSR (Uninterrupted Self Sustained Reading)
periodically when each student of every class gets engaged in reading during a
specified time. It is a pleasure to watch the productive silence of reading
spread in each and every class. This is followed by Scholastic Book Fair for two days i.e. on
July, 19 & 20. It coincided with the PTM on 20.7.13.
