Children's Day Celebration (14/11/12)

Orchids – The international School celebrated Children’s Day with a lot of enthusiasm. It was a jolly time for all of us to see our dear teachers perform exclusively for us.

      The celebrations started with some of the teachers singing songs; it was later followed by dances by some of the other teachers. The dances were truly wonderful and made all of us speechless. Then, as a part of entertainment, our senior section teachers performed a small skit with one of them as a teacher and the rest as students. The skit dealing with a typical class scenario kept all of us in splits. The surprise of the day was a magic show. The event finally came to an end with our Principal Ms Mona Mehdi wishing us on the occasion.

On the whole, we had a wonderful time to see our teachers perform, all for us.
