Children's Day Celebrations

Children’s Day was celebrated to the delight of everyone at Orchids. There was a graceful dance to Sri Annamacharya’s song, ‘Adigo Alladigo’ by Mrs. Swathi, preprimary teacher. The teachers of Primary wing enacted a skit of classroom scenario. It was a natural depiction of the classroom situation, with innocent children arguing and complaining.  Trying to be obedient they seem to have their own way. The teachers of classes VI to X also presented a skit. They answered General knowledge questions put to them by a member of CBSE team who was later found out to be a real actor himself. Their answers delighted and entertained the children immensely.

There was a small demonstration correlating light with sound, by Mrs. Lakshmi, French teacher. As the grand finale Principal, Mrs. Mona Mehdi  had  a few hilarious jokes to share to the amusement of the spectators.

All the children enjoyed the performances of their teachers. Their cheer and whole-hearted laughter encouraged the performers to entertain their spirited audience all the more.
