Free hand drawing is a style of drawing made without the use of guiding or measuring instruments. Orchids- the International School organized a free hand drawing competition on the 2^nd september2011 for children from classes 1to 5. The children were given freedom to draw whatever they wanted to draw. They used crayons, sketch pens, colourpencils and water paints on white papers to draw their favourite animals, mountains, rivers trees and plants as well as their legendary characters. The school awarded certificates to the children who secured the 1st, 2^nd and 3^rd positions respectively. Through this competition, students attained good observation skills, good sense of proportions, a smooth motion of hand and learnt to give the drawing deep shading .The students were creative and enjoyed the drawing competition a lot.

Teacher's Day Celebration 5/9/2011

5^th September is the day to remember the first President of India, Dr. Sarvepalli Radha Krishnan, a teacher-philosopher whose birthday is celebrated as the Teachers’ Day in India.

It was a special day in Orchids with students emulating their teachers in the way they could. They tried to resemble the teachers they represented, in the way they dressed and handled their classes. A special assembly was organized and the Teacher Representatives gave clues of their teachers, for the audience to guess who they represented. The Head Girl, T.V. Spandana stood for the Principal. The teachers were gifted by the Principal, Mrs. Mona Mehdi and it was a happy occasion when the teachers were rewarded. The students showed a power-point presentation on the roles of a teacher with pictures of their teachers. The day’s programme ended with cutting of the cake.

It was an early dispersal for students. A lunch was organized by the management for members.
