Class V Masters Conjunctions with a Fun Twist!
On Saturday, February 22, Class V students at The Fabindia School dove into the exciting world of conjunctions during a hands-on activity session. Led by their enthusiastic English teacher, the children explored words like "and," "but," "or," and "because" through interactive games and group challenges. The highlight was a "Conjunction Chain Story" where students built silly sentences together: "I wanted to play outside, but it started raining, so we read books and shared jokes or drew pictures." Laughter filled the room as teams raced to create the longest, most creative chains without repeating words! This activity not only sharpened their grammar skills but also boosted teamwork and creativity. "Conjunctions make our stories flow better!" shared one beaming student. 
Well done, Class V—keep connecting those ideas!

 My Experience of Gaining Confidence 
I am an average girl who was always afraid of speaking in front of people. Public speaking made me nervous, and I avoided talking in class because I lacked confidence.
One day, my English Teacher, Nikita Ma'am, gave me an opportunity to present a speech in front of the whole class. At first, I was scared and unsure, but I decided to accept the challenge. To prepare myself, I practiced seriously. I recorded my speech on video many times, watched it, and corrected my mistakes. I read and understood each paragraph carefully so that I could speak with clarity and confidence.
On the day of the presentation, I was nervous before starting. However, as soon as I began speaking, I slowly started feeling confident. When I finished my speech, I felt proud of myself because I knew I had tried my best.
After the presentation, my teacher praised me and said that I had improved a lot. She even encouraged me to speak in the school assembly and in front of the junior class. This appreciation motivated me greatly.
Through this experience, I became more confident and willing to speak in public. I learned that confidence grows with practice, courage, and the support of a good teacher.

 Interview with Mrs. Manju Kawar(Parent) 
Reporter- Siddhi Solanki
(Reporter as RP, MKR as Manju Kawar)
RP: How would you describe the teachers and staff?
MKR: I would describe the teachers and staff as caring, supportive, and dedicated to the students' overall growth. They create a safe and positive environment where children feel comfortable asking questions and expressing themselves. The teachers are approachable and patient, giving individual attention whenever needed and encouraging students to do their best academically as well as personally.
RP: Are you happy with the extracurricular activities offered?
MKR: I am generally happy with the extracurricular activities offered. They provide children with opportunities to explore their interests beyond academics and help in developing important life skills like teamwork, confidence, creativity, and discipline. I especially appreciate the variety of options available, such as sports, arts, and cultural activities, which allow every child to find something they enjoy.
RP: Do you have any suggestions for the school?
MKR: I would like to suggest that the school place more focus on improving discipline among students. Discipline helps children develop responsibility, respect for others, and better learning habits, which are essential for their future.
I also believe the school should encourage the use of polite and respectful language in everyday interactions. Teaching students to communicate respectfully will help create a positive and supportive environment for everyone. With stronger emphasis on these areas, the school can further enhance students’ overall character development.

 Abraham Lincoln's Birthday: From Log Cabin to Legacy (February 12, 1809) 
Orphaned Abe split rails by day, read by candlelight at night, dreaming beyond his frontier shack. Facing war and doubt, he freed the enslaved, declaring all worthy of liberty. Today, his words rally us: Persevere, and poverty bows to purpose. The Tall Man's Triumph
From humble wood to freedom's throne,
Abe rose tall, though seeds were sown
In hardship's soil—now hear his call:
Build your bridge, and nations fall!
Ignite your spark: Like Lincoln, turn trials into triumphs, leading with an unyielding heart.
 Understanding Climate Change 
Climate change is one of the biggest global problems faced by the world today. It refers to long-term changes in the Earth's temperature and weather patterns. Over the past few decades, the average temperature of the planet has increased rapidly due to human activities. This change is affecting nature, human life, and the environment in many harmful ways.
Causes of Climate Change 
The main cause of climate change is global warming, which happens due to an increase in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O) in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the Sun and increase the Earth's temperature.

In shadows cast by fear's dark night,
A spark ignites, a fierce fight.
Survivors rise with hearts ablaze,
Through storms of pain, in healing haze.
Unique paths, yet spirits unite,
Defying odds from morning till night.
Doctors weave their threads of care,
Science's hope beyond despair.
Each scar a badge, each breath a win,
For tomorrow's dawn, they rise again.
Together strong, we pledge anew,
To light the way for you.
At The Fabindia School, Bali, we salute cancer survivors and medical heroes advancing treatments. Let's pledge to spread awareness: move more, eat well, and support one another!
