Talk Show competition

Orchids-The International School believes that children need learning experiences that help them understand, acquire and build up oral language. To foster the language development and improve the confidence level of pre-primary, a Talk Show Competition was conducted on 27/9/13. The topic for PP-I was Food - Healthy or Junk Food and the topic for PP–II was Transport – Air, Water or Land. The children of PP–I came in coloured costumes depicting healthy and junk food and PP-II children came with props related to their topic. Children spoke briefly on their chosen topics and participated with a lot of enthusiasm, making the competition successful.

CLAY MODELLING COMPETITION

Clay Modelling Competition was held in Orchids -The International School on 20/9/13 for the pre-primary children. Young minds can think differently. With play-doh the task becomes quite easy, exciting and long lasting. It is absolutely safe and non-toxic. This competition was the perfect platform for the creative minds of the children to meet their colourful desires and fantasy. The children of nursery PP I and PP II made their own beautiful sun, flowers, caterpillars, etc. and displayed them with pride.

The motive of this competition was to stimulate the imagination of the children and enable them to give it a better shape. This enhanced their eye-hand coordination, colour, recognition and fine motor skills.
