The School Weekly 01st December 2025

 News & Events 
 Pre-Primary Section 
The monthly assessments were conducted in the last week of November.
The school remained closed for a few days due to the school picnic. As usual, when children return after a break, they take some time to resettle in the classroom environment. To ease them back into the learning routine, teachers revised the curriculum in a way that helped students reconnect with their previous learning.
Grades Nursery and LKG conducted activities such as Recognize the Letters and Count and Match to refresh earlier concepts. They also enjoyed a round of musical chairs, adding fun and energy to their day.
Grade UKG engaged in a collaborative colouring activity. It was not just simple colouring—they coloured the picture together with a friend. This activity encouraged teamwork, friendship, and peer learning.
Grade 1 students are currently focusing on improving their reading skills. Teachers are dedicating quality time to strengthening their reading foundation, so they gain confidence and fluency.
 Verb Activity with Class V Students 
In our Class V English lesson on verbs, students engaged in an interactive and enjoyable activity to strengthen their understanding of this essential part of speech. We began by discussing the three main types of verbs: action verbs, which show what someone or something does; linking verbs, which connect the subject to descriptions; and helping verbs, which assist the main verb to show tense or possibility. This foundation helped students recognize verbs in everyday sentences.
The class then practiced identifying verbs by reading sentences aloud and underlining the verbs, categorizing them into the three types. To make learning fun, students played a game where they acted out different verbs while their classmates guessed the action. They also worked in groups to order similar verbs by intensity or speed—for example, arranging "walk," "jog," and "run" to understand subtle differences in meaning. This helped enhance their vocabulary and usage of descriptive verbs.
Finally, students applied their knowledge by writing short sentences and stories using a variety of verbs and verb tenses—past, present, and future. They also practiced correcting sentences with verb tense errors to reinforce proper usage. This comprehensive activity not only made verbs easier to understand but also encouraged active participation and creativity among Grade V learners.
This verb activity was designed to help students master verbs in an enjoyable, practical manner that connects grammar rules to real-life use, supporting progress in their speaking, reading, and writing skills.
 Music Workshop with Mr. Sahej Bakshi 
Sahej Bakshi didn’t just teach music today. He opened a new way of listening.
A multi-instrumentalist, producer, and storyteller of sound, he walked into our classroom and showed our students that music can be born from anything—a tap, a whisper, a beat, a moment.
He invited them to offer simple everyday sounds, then transformed those tiny fragments into a living composition. In that process, he taught them something deeper: that creativity begins with paying attention, and that technology, when guided with heart, can expand imagination rather than replace it.
A beautiful, mind-opening workshop that left our Fabindians seeing and hearing the world differently.
 Farmers 
Farmers grow crops for us.
They work day and night to grow crops.
They work with honesty and hard work.
They work hard regardless of whether it is hot or cold on the farms.
They sow seeds in the farms.
We are wasting food without realizing someone’s hard work.
Every grain we eat is the result of so much effort.

 Interview with Mr. Prem Prakash Sakhwar (P.E. Teacher) 
(RP - Reporter, PPH - Prem Prakash Sakhwar)
RP: What strategies do you use to promote teamwork and sportsmanship?
PPH: To promote teamwork and sportsmanship, I first focus on maintaining discipline among students. I make different team combinations so they learn to cooperate with everyone. I encourage them to work together during practice and support each other. I also built a strong team spirit by motivating them to appreciate others' efforts. Through regular activities and guidance, I help them understand that playing together with respect is important.
RP: What role do you think sports play in a student’s overall development?
PPH: I believe sports play a critical role in a student’s overall development. They help physical growth by keeping the body active and healthy. Sports also build mental strength, focus, and confidence. Students learn social skills like cooperation and communication while playing with others. Sports create unity as students work together towards common goals. They also support emotional development by teaching patience and handling victories.
RP: What qualities should a good player have?
PPH: A good player should stay calm and patient in every situation. They should remain silent and focused while playing. A player must have dedication towards practice. They also need good physical fitness to play well. These qualities help them become better in sports.
RP: What qualifications suit you for teaching?
PPH: I am well-qualified for teaching because I have been a State and national-level cricket player. I have also played in the Rest of Madhya Pradesh team, which improved my skills and experience. Along with this, I have IPL approval in cricket, which adds to my knowledge and credibility as a sports coach. These experiences help me guide and train students better.
 सकारात्मक सोच की ताकत (The Power of Positive Thinking) 
आज की तेज़ रफ़्तार ज़िंदगी में हर दिन नए चैलेंज सामने आते हैं — कभी पढ़ाई का दबाव, कभी परिवार की ज़िम्मेदारी, कभी रिश्तों में उतार-चढ़ाव और कभी खुद को साबित करने की दौड़। ऐसे माहौल में मन का शांत रहना और सकारात्मक सोच बनाए रखना सबसे कठिन लेकिन सबसे ज़रूरी बात है। एक सीनियर होने के नाते मैं यह समझती हूँ कि जीवन में कई बार मुश्किलें हमें तोड़ने नहीं, बल्कि हमें और मज़बूत बनाने आती हैं।
सकारात्मक सोच का मतलब यह नहीं कि हम समस्याओं को नज़रअंदाज़ कर दें। इसका मतलब है — हर स्थिति में एक उम्मीद, एक रास्ता और एक सीख देखना। जब हम अपने दिमाग को सकारात्मक दिशा में सोचने की आदत डालते हैं, तो वही ऊर्जा हमारे काम, बोलचाल और फैसलों में दिखाई देने लगती है। धीरे-धीरे हम न सिर्फ चुनौतियों का सामना बेहतर तरीके से करते हैं, बल्कि खुद में एक नई आत्मविश्वास की चमक भी महसूस करते हैं।
कहते हैं, “हमारी सोच हमारी दुनिया बनाती है।” अगर हम हर बात को नेगेटिव नज़र से देखेंगे, तो छोटी-सी बात भी तनाव देगी। लेकिन अगर हम उसे समझदारी और सकारात्मकता से देखें, तो वही बात एक अनुभव बन जाती है। सकारात्मक सोच हमें यह सिखाती है कि गिरना कमजोरी नहीं, बल्कि आगे बढ़ने की तैयारी है। असफलता हमें रोकने नहीं आती, बल्कि सफलता तक पहुँचने का सही रास्ता दिखाती है।
सकारात्मक सोच का सबसे बड़ा फायदा यह है कि यह हमारे रिश्तों को भी मजबूत बनाती है। जब हम खुद में सकारात्मक ऊर्जा रखते हैं, तो हमारे व्यवहार में नर्मी, समझदारी और धैर्य अपने-आप आ जाता है। बात-बात पर गुस्सा करने के बजाय हम चीज़ों को शांति और समझ से संभालते हैं। यह आदत न सिर्फ हमें बल्कि हमारे आस-पास के माहौल को भी शांत और खुशहाल बनाती है।
आज के समय में जब सोशल मीडिया, प्रतियोगिता और दबाव ने हर किसी को थोड़ा-सा बेचैन कर दिया है, तब सकारात्मक सोच एक दवा की तरह काम करती है। यह हमारे अंदर यह विश्वास जगाती है कि चाहे हालात कितने भी खराब क्यों न हों, हम उन्हें सुधार सकते हैं। बस ज़रूरत है खुद पर भरोसा रखने की, छोटी-छोटी जीतों को महसूस करने की और हर दिन थोड़ा-सा बेहतर बनने की।
अंत में, मैं यही कहना चाहूँगी कि सकारात्मक सोच सिर्फ एक आदत नहीं, यह एक जीवनशैली है। इसे अपनाइए, इसे जीइए। आप पाएँगी कि आपकी पढ़ाई, आपका व्यवहार और आपका पूरा व्यक्तित्व पहले से कहीं ज़्यादा चमकने लगेगा। और याद रखिए — जिंदगी में वही लोग आगे बढ़ते हैं, जो मुश्किलों में भी उम्मीद ढूँढना जानते हैं।

 Interview with Ms. Rinku Kumari: Passion for Teaching and Classroom Joy 
RP: Why did you choose to become a teacher?

RP: How do you handle students who don't pay attention in class?
RKI: I handle them by first helping them sit properly and focus. Then, I give tasks and activities to keep them engaged. This helps them concentrate better and encourages active participation.

I don’t believe in strict rules; instead, I guide them to respect themselves, friends, and everyone around, creating a positive learning environment.
