Cultural Fest

Cultural Fest-2013 of Orchids, organized on the 26^th of April was a real feast to the eyes.  Classes from I-X staged their shows separately. The Fest combined entertainment provided by songs and dances and a social awareness depicted by skits. The songs and dances, ‘Heal the world’ by class IV and ‘Conserve energy’ by class III are message-oriented. ‘Dandiya’ of  VIII A and Rajasthani folk dance of VI were cheerful with rhythmic beat and light- hearted melody. The kids of I and II were in high spirits, jumping to the beat and dancing delightfully.

‘Orchidian band’ of VIII A, a group song by the girls of X, and ‘Magic show’ of VII were unique with vocal and instrumental music and many puzzling tricks of magic. Class V gave the spectators some much needed tips to tackle summer.

The skits ‘Hara bhara paryavaran’, (in Hindi) by class IX, ‘Saving girl child’ by VIII B, ‘Indian culture’ by V and ‘Unity and diversity’ by X drew a lot of applause depicting environmental and social awareness and conveying strong messages for a good environment and an ideal society.

Principal of Orchids, Mrs. Mona Mehdi congratulated all the classes on organizing the Cultural Fest, a true showcase of sincere efforts and inherent talents of all the participants.

Calligraphy Competition (12/4/13)

Calligraphy is the most intimate, private and spontaneous means. Like a fingerprint or voice it is unique with every person. It’s the flower of man’s soul. Calligraphy is an art of putting a pen or a pencil on proper paper and then accurately removing it. It has been called ‘the art of beautiful writing’. It teaches to take patience and develop patience. It also helps to be elegant and be focused. Calligraphy takes respect for the tool and the ink. It involves correct formation of characters, ordering of the various parts and the harmony of properties.

On 12^th April 2013 Calligraphy competition was held for the class I to V. All the students participated in the competition. It is well said that beautiful writing requires skilled hands so we could see our little kids putting all their effort to make their writing ‘the best’. The competition developed competitive spirit amongst the students.

Winners:

1^st – Delisha Ann Thomas
