PTM

PTM was organized on 16th September for Class LKG. To enhance the PTM experience, various activities were organized for parents along with their children. The children introduced themselves to the parents and recited some poems. Afterwards, the children and their parents crafted various items using clay and learned to shape different pots on the Potter's Wheel. Parents enjoyed making pots on the Potter's Wheel; it was their first experience and they had a great time. They mentioned that if they hadn't come, they would have missed out on so many enjoyable activities. Lagori was also organized for the children and parents, allowing parents to play with their children.

Parents were very happy to be a part of this special PTM. They expressed that they are delighted to be a part of Fabindia School and thoroughly enjoyed the activities organized by the school. They spent quality time with their children, something they often don't get to do at home. It was a successful PTM, as almost all the parents attended.

Thank you.

Dimple Kunwar / Educator

The Pre-Primary section of The Fabindia School organized another round of a Parents-Teachers meeting on 16th September. During the event, various playful activities were conducted, engaging students and their parents in fun-filled roles. Additionally, a dedicated corner was set up to introduce our new art form, 'Pottery Making,' which utilizes a machine installed in our school to enhance artistic skills through working with clay. Parents actively participated, shaping small pieces of art on the wheel. They showed great enthusiasm and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of creating pots. I had meaningful conversations with them about this ceramic activity, and they expressed their desire for their children to engage in it, recognizing its significant benefits in developing meditation, concentration, and stress reduction skills. Their positive response was truly encouraging, and we take pride in fostering new avenues for learning.

विश्व ओजोन दिवस

ओजोन परत के संरक्षण के लिए अंतर्राष्ट्रीय दिवस एक विशेष दिन है जिसे हम पृथ्वी की ओजोन परत की रक्षा के लिए मनाते हैं। इसे "विश्व ओजोन दिवस " भी कहा जाता है। यह दिवस हर साल 16 सितम्बर को पुरे विश्व में मनाया जाता है।ओजोन परत आकाश में एक ढाल की तरह है जो हमें सूर्य के हानिकारक किरणों से सुरक्षित रखती है। सूर्य की इन हानिकारक किरणों को पराबैंगनी किरण कहा जाता है। ये पराबैंगनी किरणें हमारे स्वास्थ्य और पर्यावरण के लिए खतरनाक होती है।ओजोन परत की खोज फ्रांस के दो भौतिकविदों ने फैबरी चार्ल्स और हेनरी बुसोन ने सन 1913 में की थी।ओजोन एक गैस है जो की ऑक्सीजन के तीन परमाणुओं से मिलकर बनी है। ओजोन एक तीखी गांड वाली गैस है जो की विषैली होती है। वायुमंडल ओजोन गैस (O 3 ) बहुत ही कम मात्रा में पाई जाती है । यह समुद्र की सतह से 30 से 32 किलोमीटर की ऊंचाई पर पाई जाती है।ओजोन परत पृथ्वी के तापमान को बिल्कुल सही बनाए रखने में मदद करती है। लेकिन मानव निर्मित रसायन, जैसे कि पुराने एयर कंडीशनर और रेफ्रिजरेटर में पाए जाते हैं जो ओजोन परत को नुकसान पहुंचा रहे थे। इसलिए, दुनिया भर के देशों ने इन हानिकारक रसायनों का उपयोग बंद करने के लिए मिलकर काम करने का निर्णय लिया है। यह दिन हमें ओजोन परत और पृथ्वी के वायुमंडल की रक्षा के महत्व की याद दिलाता है।विश्व ओजोन दिवस के दिन दुनिया भर में लोगों को ओजोन परत के महत्व के बारे में लोगों को जागरूक किया जाता है। लोग खराब हुई ओजोन परत को कैसे सुधारा या ठीक किया जाए इसके बारे में जानते और सीखते हैं, ताकि लोग अपना जीवन सही से जी सकें।हम ओजोन परत को ठीक करने में हुई प्रगति की सराहना भी करते हैं। इस दिन ओजोन परत की सुरक्षा जारी रखने के लिए खुद को और लोगों को याद भी दिलाते हैं। हम सभी को ओजोन परत के प्रति दयालु होकर अपने ग्रह की सुरक्षा और देखभाल अवश्य करनी चाहिए।

Value of trees and forests

Trees are our best friends. We get fruits, paper, wood, and many more things from trees. That's why the importance of forests in our daily life is significant. Plants take in carbon dioxide and other pollutants from the atmosphere and release oxygen, contributing to the formation of the ozone layer. The ozone layer prevents UV rays from reaching Earth, which can cause skin cancer. Of concern to all! According to Professor T.M. Das of the University of Calcutta, a tree is worth $193,250. A tree living for 50 years will generate $31,250 worth of oxygen, provide $62,000 worth of air pollution control, control soil erosion, and increase soil fertility to the tune of $31,250. It also recycles $37,500 worth of water and provides a home for animals worth $31,250. This figure does not include the value of fruits, lumber, or beauty taken from trees. This is just another sensible reason to take care of our forests.

SAVE OUR MOTHER EARTH

Bleeding Out My Girlhood

Only death keeps its promise,

It's imminent and sweet,

Sure like surety,

Cold enough to burn me.

Untethered from precious,

Like the stomach that weeps,

He's long gone, absent,

Haven't seen him in weeks.

Boys won't touch me,

When I'm in this state,

Mirrors don't scare me,

For my vision's not the same.

So I take them and blot them out,

It's skin and sweat and all,

Because scars don't matter,

Once you've been hung on the wall.

I need to know,

Just this once,

Will you keep your promise,

Or tell me,

If I'm wasting the precious.

Bleeding,

Bleeding out my girlhood.
