Pre-Primary Section
This was the second week of October, full of colourful academic and cultural activities in our school. The students celebrated Dussehra in a very innovative and enthusiastic way, bringing festive cheer to the classroom.
The skills of the language were augmented. The teachers taught synonyms in Hindi. They taught about demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, and those) by bringing props to class and making it more fun and interactive.
UKG Grade studied Mathematics wherein the children learned how time passes across the day. This activity let the kids understand how to divide time and its importance in activities.
Grade LKG had their letter hunt in the meantime. This activity was enjoyed by the children because it taught the children better recognition of letters, which would be a concrete step for them to learn about language.
The week was generally well-balanced on knowledge acquisition and experience with cultures, thereby affording students a balanced learning experience.
Encouraging Physical Fitness and Sports at Fabindia School
Keeping the body fit and active, along with sports, goes hand-in-hand with a healthy, balanced lifestyle that we maintain at Fabindia School. Our motto is "Strive for Excellence," and we are committed to the development of both the body and mind. In the increasingly sedentary world of the twenty-first century, regular physical activity has become more crucial than ever not only for cardiovascular well-being but also for building strength. It also provides inestimable benefits for our mental well-being. We try to develop lifelong fitness champions among our students with a wide variety of fun activities. Sports events at Fabindia are much more than developing muscles-they encourage essential life skills like teamwork, discipline, tenacity, and leadership. Teamwork towards a common goal develops responsibility and perseverance in children as they feel confident and take initiative. It offers sports in cricket, football, athletics, volleyball, kho-kho, badminton, shooting, judo, and boxing, so each student can find a sporting activity he enjoys. The regular competitions and events thus inculcate healthy competition and sportsman spirit among the students. We wish to inspire students to love an active lifestyle that endures not just school years but beyond. All in all, by encouraging a healthy lifestyle and fitness culture, we prepare them to succeed in all of life and at school in terms of overall wellness within the school community.

Mental Health and Wellness
Mental health is the most important component in human life for peace and happiness. According to the World Health Organization, mental health can be basically described as the state wherein a person is capable of dealing with daily stress, working properly, and then adding value to society. In other words, the opposite of mental health is mental illness which arises when the brain fails to perform as it should, thereby disturbing the entire thought and behavioral process in an individual's life.
Whereas the former describes a state of general wellness, the latter is an actually diagnosed condition. Some warning signs of mental health problems are new changes in eating habits, very low energy, mood swings, and difficulty in carrying out normal day-to-day activities.
Some of the factors that influence mental health are as follows: childhood abuse, environmental challenges, and unhealthy lifestyles. Good mental health can be achieved only if all the activities like self-care, exercise, healthy eating, sleep, lesser use of mobile phones, and relaxation through yoga or meditation.
Conclusion: A person with good mental well-being enjoys life, nurtures the relationship, and remains productive. According to me, mental health is at the top of a balanced life.

Climate Change: A Call to Action
The burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes by humans have polluted the environment, thereby elevating global temperatures and changing climate conditions. It results in ice caps melting and rising sea levels, which leads to enhanced flood probabilities around the coasts and threatens habitats. It endangers ecosystems and threatens human populations by increasing frequent and intense severe weather conditions, such as hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires. Ocean acidification, which is caused by a rise in CO2 levels, impacts marine life the most concerning biodiversity. For example, coral reefs and shellfish are being weakened by rising ocean acidity. Moreover, rising temperatures pose risks to biodiversity in that most species are unable to cope with the new climates. As such, there are likely extinctions. Health risks associated with climate change include heat-related illnesses and poor air quality with respiratory problems. In combating these effects, it is very important to embrace sustainable practices and renewable energy. Campaigning for a proper climate policy is also fundamental in ensuring a more sustainable future. Collective action determines the seriousness of combating the challenges of climate change.

Embracing Gandhi's Philosophy of the Real Happy Life
True happiness comes from the happiness of others. When we celebrate Gandhi Jayanti on October 2, mere celebration is not a good tribute to this great freedom fighter. We must comply with Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence. These days, people quickly become furious, resulting in a harmful and unbalanced life.
We need to love and respect all that surrounds us: nature, animals, rivers, people, and our way of thinking; because in the end, only what will matter is your happiness, which will grow from other people's happiness.

Social Media
It is a way of communication through sharing things online and connecting with other people. It has both good and bad sides.
On the positive side, social media helps us learn new things and find answers to our problems. This can even be used in making homework for me.
On the downside, social media can change the way we view friends and family. This changes the way people engage with each other and often leads to less face-to-face talking, as well as distractions in tasks at hand. In worst-case scenarios, it can even contribute to sadness or anxiety in some individuals.
