Well-Being!




              Health is the real wealth in life, not pieces of
                paper that can be printed over and over.



                Take charge in your life by putting your
              happiness and health before the other noise.


             Physical health is something you work towards;
              mental well-being is something you choose.


              Money can buy gym equipment and trainers,
              but not good health. Similarly, money can buy
                 the best cars and houses but not your
                           happiness.


 PEHR HARA   The world will only take care of you, once you
                    start taking care of yourself.

           Fun-filled Friday on the field
 Mi amiga preciosa
           On 25th February, Friday, students of Grade 8 had an action-packed English class led by our teacher, Miss Vagisha Srivastava.
 Tú eres la broma
           After weeks of insistent pleading by us students, our teacher finally gave in, taking us to the field to play a vocabulary building game.
 De cual quiero reírme,
           We had been asking to go to the field for the last period on Friday for a while. The pandemic had left all of the students deprived of the

           us develop our range of emotional vocabulary. She would read out a sentence with a gap and it was the student's job to guess the
 Tú eres la música
           word that filled it. We also managed to incorporate our favorite sport – football– into the game. The students were divided into two

           groups, with group 1 taking the victory by a large margin. The class ended up being a great success. We had some important bonding

 Quiero compartir contigo
 Quiero bailar contigo  Because of online school, students haven't been able to do physical activities and exercises that help their well-being. Outdoor,
           interactive and group activities such as this one have been lacking, and this class made interaction possible.
 Porque tú eres mi amigo.
           Spending time with friends, out in the open, is a great recommendation!
