Telugu Day Celebrations

On 30/8/2013, as it was the Jayanthi of Gidugu Ramamurthy Panthulu, we the Telugu students of Orchids- The International School, celebrated Telugu Day with great vigour and joy.
The programme started with a graceful Kuchipudi dance dedicated to the Telugu Talli.
Later, the tiny tots of the school sang a few rhymes to show their joy on the occasion.
This was followed by the recital of the Telugu alphabet.

Then, Roshith Bhanu, from class VIII, sang a song both in the traditional and contemporary styles.The students of classes IX and X performed a small skit depicting the importance of education.

Sama Pavan Reddy ended the celebration, with an extremely outstanding monologue. It was the highlight of the event and portrayed the greatness of mankind.

Our Telugu teacher, the Head of the Telugu Department, Mrs. Talasila Rama Devi, gave the vote of thanks. We also thank our other Telugu teachers, Mr. Venkatadri and Mrs. Sunitha for their ideas and cooperation.

Star of the week 16: Sama Pavan Reddy


Theme: Raja Mohan Roy - The Father of Indian Journalism

The students of Class X conducted a thematic assembly on ‘Raja Ram Mohan Roy – The father of Indian Journalism’. It started off with a PowerPoint presentation that included details about his birth, family, education, occupation and achievements. On the second day, Raja Ram Mohan Roy’s role as a social reformer was depicted through the enactment of a skit that focused on ‘sati’ and his role in its abolition.
On the last and final day, information about the ‘Brahmo Samaj’, a social reform organisation that was founded by him was shared. The assembly ended with a quiz which refreshed everyone’s minds and gave a recapitulation of the entire week.

On the whole, it was a very informative and interesting journey for all the students. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the presentation.
