Joy of Giving Week
Happiness doesn‟t result from what we get, but from what we give.
With the aim of engaging the students across all grades, in the act of „Giving‟, a
„Joy of Giving‟ week from October 17, 2016 to October 22, 2016.
It aimed at providing care and support for the children who need a little help to
reach their greatest potential.
The students came forward and donated whole heartedly and truly felt the
pleasure of giving and sharing. Their eagerness and willingness on being a part
of this drive was remarkable. At the end of the week, there was a generous
collection of clothes, books, stationery, toys and a lot more which was sent to
the orphanage.
It is rightly said….. No other joy is more precious than that of giving and the
students of OISKH had the privilege of experiencing it first-hand.
FIRE SAFETY DRILL
It is always better to be safe than sorry.
To create awareness among the students to respond vigilantly and swiftly in
times of emergency, a mock fire evacuation drill was carried out on
November 11, 2016.
A search and rescue team was made which went through a training session
by Mr.Sameer Rajput, Safety Manager to ensure that every individual has
the knowledge to safely escape from a fire without injuring themselves or
others.
The evacuation operation began soon after the fire alarm rang out loud and
alerted everyone . The staff and the students from pre-nursery to Grade VII
exited as per the safety plan and assembled at the designated point .The
rescue team ensured that everyone present in the school evacuated the
premises. The students and staff had hands-on experience in the demo
session arranged after the drill on the “effective usage of a fire extinguisher.”

Dussehra Celebrations-SPECIAL ASSEMBLY
A child is like a seed sowed in this vast garden of diversity,
where it has to grow up following the norms of uniformity,
imbibing the right measure of elements from Mother Nature,
and yet carve a niche for itself to prove its individuality.
The education system, which is an amalgamation of value-
based learning and co-curricular activities, lays the very
foundation for moulding the child into an individual infused with
right mix of qualities and values. Keeping this in mind, “Special
Morning Assemblies” are organized to provide an opportunity to
each child to create his or her identity, showcase his talent and
acquire new skills.
The students performed a dance drama in which they depicted
the significance of Dussehra. The students portrayed the
characters of Ramayana in which Rama, Sita, and Laksmana
were exiled, followed by the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana
and his return to Ayodhya.
The assembly aimed to highlight the victory of Good over
Evil.

Phonic Workshop The parental role in the development of phonemic awareness is crucial in early childhood. When parents give their children opportunities to experiment with language at home, they increase the probability that their children will develop the phonemic awareness they'll need at school. In addition, engaging in phonemic awareness activities at home creates positive attitudes toward reading in children. A „PHONIC WORKSHOP‟ was conducted for parents of Pre Primary & Grade 1 & 2. During this workshop they were taught about different components of phonological awareness like phonics, blends, diagraphs, sight words, family words, etc. They were apprised about the teaching practices at Orchids that they can follow at home.
Transport Day As a culmination to the theme „TRANSPORT‟ for Pre- Nursery and Nursery , different modes of transport – roadways, railways, waterways and airways – were introduced to children by setting up models of different types of vehicle. Models of ticket booking counters, baggage and security counters, signal systems and fuel station were also set up.
