Academic Fair ‘Showcase’
was organized in Orchids-The International School on 20.10.12. To start with,
‘Shaan-e-Awadh’ attempted to capture the essence of Lucknow in the students’
lobby. ‘The Rumi Darwaza’ the imposing gateway in Lucknow, opened the doors to
the Academic Fair. Varieties of work of Chickenkari- Shadow, Murri, Tapchi
along with Zardosi were exhibited. Antique furniture and crockery was also for
display. Marvellous Moghal art on ‘Bhojpatre’ adorned the glasses. Shatranj
players were blissfully engrossed in their play demanding all concentration. The
special delicacies of Lucknow enticed the visitors to have a taste of the land.
A PowerPoint presentation informed all that we need to know of Lucknow, one of
the most attractive tourist places. The Kathak form of dance mesmerized the
audience.
The junior
classes beginning with PP1 – class III showcased fruits and vegetables,
community helpers, festivals of Andhra Pradesh, animal and plant kingdom and
different seasons. Classes of IV and V together presented working models of
human body systems and banking system clubbed with basic concepts of
Mathematics. The junior wing had separate focus given to English, French,
Hindi, Telugu, Science and Social. Art projected ‘Best out of Waste’ and fashion
trends. The Senior Wing had marvellous exhibits of Science, Social, Math and
Rubik’s cube. Languages English, French, Hindi and Telugu presented skits,
characterizations, dance and narration along with models. All the students gave
their best which made their work amazing.
The entire school
gained a lot of experience through participation in the Academic Fair which,
certainly, is very important to the educational development. The students
identified their interests and skills, polished their abilities and extended
their educational experience of the classroom. The projects encouraged students
to design and implement, promote analytical skills and foster creativity. As a
team working for a common cause, they learnt to cooperate with parents,
teachers and their peers. Their combined efforts contributed to the design,
implementation and success of ‘Showcase’ of Orchids. Mr. Gurunadkarni, chief
guest for the occasion congratulated the students and staff members for the
excellent exhibits.
Exhibition of
paintings by the students, art teacher Mr. Santosh and our Principal Mrs Mona
Mehdi, formed a special attraction of the day.
