Independence Day Special
“Independence Day is not merely a day in our lives; it is the very essence of our soul.”
Independence Day holds a special place in the heart of every Indian. It is a day when we celebrate the freedom, unity, and spirit of our nation with immense pride. Every Indian celebrates this special day in their own unique way, and our Tiny Fabindians were no exception.
Although our little ones are still quite young, their social journey has already begun. It is our responsibility as educators to nurture them into responsible, caring, and proud citizens of our country. The preparations for Independence Day provided a wonderful opportunity for our children to experience the values of patriotism, creativity, teamwork, and confidence.
During the preparations, our teachers played an iconic role in engaging and motivating the children. One of the most joyful activities conducted was “Explore the Freedom of Joy.” Through this activity, children were given the freedom to shape, colour, draw, and express their imagination without any restrictions. It was heartwarming to see them explore their creativity with enthusiasm and confidence. The activity beautifully reflected the spirit of freedom through the innocent expressions of our little learners.
The dance preparations for Independence Day were another memorable experience. Our Tiny Fabindians participated with great dedication, enthusiasm, and love for their presentations. Their excitement during rehearsals, their efforts to learn every step, and their eagerness to perform reflected their growing confidence and team spirit.
Finally, the much-awaited day arrived. When our tiny tots stepped onto the stage and performed with such confidence and enthusiasm, the entire atmosphere was filled with pride and joy. Their performances truly left everyone saying, “Wow!”
The celebration was not merely a performance; it was a beautiful learning experience for our children. It helped them understand that freedom also means having the confidence to express themselves, the courage to participate, and the responsibility to grow into good citizens.
The Independence Day celebration will remain a cherished memory for our Tiny Fabindians, their teachers, and everyone who witnessed their wonderful performances.
Jai Hind!

स्वतंत्रता दिवस और तिरंगे का महत्व  
भारत की आज़ादी हमें संघर्ष, साहस और अनगिनत बलिदानों के बाद मिली है। हमें अपने राष्ट्रीय ध्वज तिरंगे का हमेशा सम्मान करना चाहिए। हम खुलकर जी सकें, इसके लिए कई वीर जवानों ने अपना बलिदान दिया। स्वतंत्रता केवल एक शब्द नहीं है, बल्कि यह भारतीयों के लिए गर्व, सम्मान और खुशी का प्रतीक है। यह हमारे देश के प्रति हमारे प्यार, सम्मान और गर्व को दर्शाती है।
हमें एक ईमानदार और जिम्मेदार नागरिक होने का कर्तव्य निभाना चाहिए। तिरंगा हमारी एकता और अखंडता का प्रतीक है। हमें भी अपने प्यारे भारत को उन वीर सपूतों की तरह हमेशा आगे बढ़ाना चाहिए। आज तिरंगा पूरी शान से फहरता है और हमें मिली आज़ादी तथा वीर शहीदों के बलिदान की याद दिलाता है।

Independence Day of India
On 15th August this year, we celebrated the 80th Independence Day of India. It is one of the most important and proudest days for every Indian. On 15th August 1947, India became free from British rule. We remember the great freedom fighters who fought bravely for our country.
Independence Day is celebrated with great joy all over India. The national flag is hoisted, the national anthem is sung, and many cultural programmes are organised in schools. This day reminds us to respect our freedom, love our country, and stay united. We should always be proud of our nation and do our best to make India a better country.

Interview with Ms. Nilohita Jaiswal (Educator)
Reporter- Siddhi Solanki and Namita Rajputohit
(Reporter as RP, NJL as Nilohita Jaiswal)
RP: Why did you choose to become a Hindi teacher?
NJL: I have liked Hindi since my childhood. I enjoyed reading Hindi stories and was always fascinated by them. As I grew older, my interest in the language increased, and I decided to make Hindi a part of my career. Becoming a Hindi teacher gives me an opportunity to share my love for the language with students.
RP: How would you make Hindi interesting for primary students?
NJL: Many primary students face difficulties in learning matras. To make learning easier and more interesting, I use different creative methods. For example, I relate symbols to things children are familiar with, such as a bindi (•), laddoo, or dice. I also use activities, games, and hand gestures so that students can learn while enjoying the process.
RP: What qualities do you think every good primary teacher should have?
NJL: A good primary teacher should be patient, kind, and understanding. Teachers should not be overly strict with young children. Instead, they should handle students with love and care. Learning should be made enjoyable by using games, activities, and interactive methods so that children feel comfortable and develop an interest in their studies.
RP:What are your qualifications?
NJL: I have completed my M.A. in Hindi Literature and my B.Ed. degree. In addition, I have also qualified the REET Preliminary Examination. These qualifications have helped me develop both my subject knowledge and teaching skills.

News & Events 
Parent-Teacher Meeting (PTM)
A Parent-Teacher Meeting (PTM) was held at the school on Saturday to discuss students’ academic progress, behaviour, participation, and overall development. Teachers interacted with parents and shared individual feedback, while parents discussed their concerns and suggestions. The meeting strengthened the school-parent partnership and encouraged collaborative efforts for the better growth of students.
Conceptual Understanding
Students of Class X participated in a student-led learning activity on AI Learning Models. They designed presentations on different AI models and explained the concepts to their peers using examples and visuals. The activity promoted peer learning, communication, confidence, creativity, and better conceptual understanding, making the classroom more interactive and engaging.
Documentary Screening – 14 Peaks
Students of Classes XI and XII watched the inspiring documentary 14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible, based on the remarkable journey of a climber who conquered the world’s 14 highest peaks. The screening motivated students to face challenges with courage, determination, and resilience. It conveyed the powerful message that hard days will come, but one should never give up on their dreams and goals.
Confidence
Confidence isn't about always having the right answer. It is about trusting yourself enough to try, even when you might make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, but confident people learn from them instead of giving up. Confidence helps us face challenges, express our thoughts, and believe in our abilities.
There are many ways to build confidence. First, stop comparing yourself to others. Instead, focus on becoming better than you were yesterday. Everyone has their own journey, so compare yourself only with your past self.
Second, celebrate your small wins. Finishing a difficult assignment, answering a question in class, or learning a new skill are all signs of progress. Every small achievement helps build your confidence.
Finally, speak with purpose. Real confidence means knowing when to speak and when to listen. Listen carefully to others and speak only when your words can add value to the conversation.

स्क्रीन टाइम बनाम ग्रीन टाइम
आज की आधुनिक दुनिया में बच्चों के लिए स्क्रीन टाइम और ग्रीन टाइम के बीच संतुलन बनाए रखना बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है।
स्क्रीन टाइम का मतलब है वह समय जो हम मोबाइल, लैपटॉप और टेलीविजन जैसे डिजिटल उपकरणों का उपयोग करते हुए बिताते हैं। ये उपकरण पढ़ाई और मनोरंजन के लिए उपयोगी हैं, लेकिन इनका अधिक उपयोग करने से आँखों पर तनाव, सिरदर्द और आलस्य जैसी समस्याएँ हो सकती हैं।
दूसरी ओर, ग्रीन टाइम का अर्थ है प्रकृति के बीच बाहर समय बिताना, जैसे पार्क में खेलना, साइकिल चलाना या पेड़ों के बीच टहलना। ग्रीन टाइम एक प्राकृतिक औषधि की तरह है, जो हमारे शरीर को स्वस्थ रखता है, तनाव कम करता है और हमारे मन को अधिक रचनात्मक बनाता है।
स्वस्थ और खुश रहने के लिए हमें रोज़ाना स्क्रीन का उपयोग सीमित करना चाहिए और कम से कम एक घंटा ताज़ी हवा में बाहर बिताना चाहिए। खुले मैदानों में दौड़ने और खेलने से हमारी मांसपेशियाँ मजबूत होती हैं तथा शारीरिक सहनशक्ति बढ़ती है। सूर्य का प्रकाश हमें विटामिन D प्रदान करता है, जो मजबूत हड्डियों और दाँतों के लिए आवश्यक है।
दूर तक फैले हरे-भरे पेड़ों और पौधों को देखने से लंबे समय तक पढ़ाई करने के बाद हमारी आँखों को आराम मिलता है। बाहरी खेल हमें टीमवर्क, नेतृत्व (लीडरशिप) और वास्तविक जीवन में अच्छे मित्र बनाना भी सिखाते हैं।

Learning Through Play, Creativity & Team Spirit
Welcome to another exciting edition of The School Weekly!
Every week at The Fabindia School brings fresh opportunities for our students to learn, explore, create, and collaborate. The last week of July was no exception. While students remained focused on their academic learning, they also participated in engaging classroom activities and school events that encouraged observation, creativity, teamwork, and leadership.
From exciting flashcard games in the Primary Section to vocabulary-building activities in Class II and energetic cricket trials followed by club planning sessions for senior students, the week was filled with enthusiasm and meaningful learning experiences.
 PREPRIMARY SECTION 
This week, our children participated in an exciting Nature Clay Activity. They explored different natural materials to create and play with clay. Most classes prepared soft dough using flour and natural colours made from turmeric (yellow), beetroot (pink), and spinach (green). The UKG class also explored the texture of natural mud, giving children a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature through hands-on learning.
The activity encouraged sensory exploration, creativity, fine motor development, imagination, and teamwork. The children enjoyed moulding different shapes and objects while learning that natural and eco-friendly materials can be used for creative play.
It was wonderful to see that today's young generation is becoming aware of the importance of nature, weather, and environmental conservation. We are truly grateful to the parents of Little Sayali (UKG) and Bhavyansh (Nursery) for planting trees to enhance the beauty of our Kindergarten campus. Their thoughtful contribution is helping us create a greener, healthier, and more beautiful environment for our children.
It was a joyful and enriching experience that fostered curiosity, creativity, and an appreciation for nature, making learning meaningful and memorable for our little learner 
 PRIMARY SECTION 
 Flash Card Matching Activity 
Learning becomes memorable when children experience it through play!
Our Primary Section students enthusiastically participated in the Flash Card Matching Activity, where they picked flashcards displaying pictures of familiar classroom objects and searched for the corresponding real object in the classroom.
The activity encouraged students to carefully observe their surroundings, improve vocabulary, and strengthen word-object association. As they eagerly matched each flashcard with the real item, the classroom transformed into an exciting learning arena filled with curiosity and joyful exploration.
The activity also enhanced:
👀 Observation skills
🧠 Memory and recognition
📚 Vocabulary development
🤝 Active participation and confidence
The smiles on the children's faces reflected how enjoyable learning can be when education is combined with movement and interaction.
 CLASS II CREATIVE LEARNING 
One Letter Can Change Everything!
The students of Class II enjoyed an exciting language activity where they were given a word and challenged to change just one letter to create an entirely new word.

Cat → Bat → Bag → Bug
Through this engaging exercise, students discovered how a single letter can completely change the meaning of a word.
The activity helped students:
📖 Expand their vocabulary
✍️ Improve spelling skills
💡 Develop phonics awareness
🧩 Strengthen language and thinking abilities
Learning new words became an enjoyable challenge, and students enthusiastically came up with many creative word combinations.
 MIDDLE & SENIOR SECTION

Sports play an important role in developing confidence, discipline, teamwork, and perseverance.
Students from the Middle and Senior Sections enthusiastically participated in the Cricket Trials, showcasing their batting, bowling, fielding, and overall sportsmanship.
The trials provided students with an opportunity to display their talent while learning the importance of teamwork, commitment, and fair play.
We wish all the selected players the very best for the upcoming sporting events!
 CLUB MEETINGS 
Planning New Projects Together
Following the cricket trials, students attended their respective Club Meetings, where club in-charges and members gathered to discuss exciting projects scheduled to begin from next Saturday.
Students exchanged ideas, planned activities, assigned responsibilities, and discussed how they could contribute creatively to their clubs.
