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.
