One Nation Reading Together ( 25/11/11)


Orchids-The International School participated in the programme, ‘One Nation Reading Together’ an initiative of Scholastic India Pvt. Ltd. on Nov. 25,’11. It aims at inculcating and promoting reading habit among children. Orchidians joined the children across the country, taking part in the reading activity.  Students of all the classes either read a book of their choice or wrote a book review during the specified time. Besides reading activity, the students of classes I-V had ‘Bookmarker making’ competition also. The entire school was silently engaged in experiencing the pleasures of reading.
‘The habit of reading is the only enjoyment in which there is no alloy; it lasts when all other pleasures fade.
