Fruit Week (19/8/2011)

It is the tradition of Orchids to concentrate on child-centered learning and teaching through activities. Keeping up the trend, we celebrated 'Fruits week' this week. The teachers kept on talking about fruits through out the week. This was to teach and reinforce the concept of fruits and their importance among the students.
Towards the end of the week all the students were advised to bring different kinds of fruits to the class and displayed them in the class. Making use of the fruits brought, fruit salad was prepared in the class.
Through this activity the students were taught different concepts like the importance of fruits, sharing, preparation of salad and an awareness of hygiene during the preparation.
