Our school Abhyaas, the global school organized a free eye testing camp for the children and staff on 12 March 2025. The camp was conducted by the team of experienced ophthalmologist from Max vision.
Ophthalmologist doctor advice, some guidelines to students and staff.
Get regular eye checkup
Avoid staring at the screen for too long
Avoid using Mobiles for long time
Avoid rubbing your eyes frequently
Eat green leafy vegetables, thrice a week
Give more awareness on myopia, which is also known as nearsightedness, is a common vision condition where close objects are seen clearly, but distant object appearing blurred.
Symptoms of myopia
Difficulty, seeing distant objects
Squinting or staining to see far away objects
Headache or eye strain for prolonged focusing
Difficulty in driving or watching TV.
Before the eye testing, there was an interaction between doctors and students, students asked their doubts and doctors clarified them. It was very interesting conversation between doctors and students.
**** High school girl students came up with doubt as can they use eyeliner or Kajal.
Whole school students’ eyes were tested, instructions given during eye testing were follow instructions carefully, look directly at the target, honestly.
Doctors followed the testing on the basis of
Visual acuity test: students were asked to read the letters from an eye chart to assess their visual acuity.
Refraction test: students were asked to look through a phoropter, which is a device that contains different lenses. This test helps to determine students perceptions.
Cover test: students asked to cover one eye and then the other while looking at the target. This test helps detect any eye alignment problems.
Abhyaas believe that healthy vision is essential for academic and personal growth. Abuse will continue to organize such camps to ensure that our students have access to the quality eye care.
CAMP WAS A HUGE SUCCESS
ABHYAAS thanks Max vision ophthalmologist for their support and expertise in making this camp a success.
Organizing and executing a successful event is no small feat. It requires a blend of several key skills, all of which play a significant role in ensuring everything runs smoothly and achieves its purpose. For students, learning these skills can be invaluable, not only for school events but also as life lessons that extend far beyond the classroom.
Planning and Organization: Planning forms the backbone of any successful event. From setting objectives to creating timelines and allocating resources, organization ensures all aspects are accounted for. A well-structured plan minimizes confusion and helps everyone involved stay on track.
Teamwork and Collaboration: No event can succeed without effective teamwork. Coordinating efforts, communicating clearly, and working harmoniously with others are vital. Collaborative skills help in resolving conflicts and ensuring everyone’s contributions align with the event’s goals.
Leadership: Good leadership is essential for guiding the team, making decisions, and taking responsibility. Leaders inspire others to put in their best efforts and provide direction when challenges arise.

“Sowing the Seeds of Gratitude for the Farmer and towards the nature”.
In a unique initiative, our school organized a “Children’s Farming Day” for grade V (Jameswatt) to educate and sensitize our young minds to the importance of farming and the hard work of our farmers. The event aimed to bridge the gap between the urban and rural worlds, fostering empathy and appreciation for the people who toil to bring food to our tables.
The day began with an interactive session, where children learned about the different types of crops, farming techniques, and the challenges faced by farmers. They were fascinated by the various tools and equipment used in farming, which sparked their curiosity and creativity.
The children then got their hands dirty, participating in a series of fun-filled farming activities. They planted saplings, watered crops, and even tried their hand at harvesting. The experience not only taught them about the importance of sustainable farming practices but also instilled in them a sense of responsibility and connection with nature.
To give the children a deeper understanding of the farmers’ lives, we invited a local farmer and also the gardeners of our school to share their experiences and stories. The children listened with rapt attention, asking thoughtful questions and showing genuine interest in the farmer’s work.
The event culminated in a heartfelt tribute to our farmers, with the children by expressing their gratitude. It was a poignant moment, filled with emotion and sincerity.
As the children left the farm, their faces beamed with excitement and newfound appreciation for the farmers who work tirelessly to feed our nation. The experience had not only educated them but also inspired them to become more empathetic and responsible citizens.
CONCLUSION: Children sowed the crops like Green gram, Bengal gram, horse gram and wheat and as the days passed and seedlings germinate to plants, the joy in their faces also blossomed with lot of curiousness and satisfaction. Children also started singing songs while sowing and when they see the crop grown, they also started taking off the evil eye from the crop, which made us wonder how the children are holding the responsibility of the crop.
In the words of one of our young participants, “I never knew farming was so much fun! I want to be a farmer when I grow up and help feed people.” Moments like these remind us that by instilling values of empathy and appreciation in our children, we can create a brighter, more compassionate future for all.
The event was a testament to the school’s commitment to promote STEM education and a fostering love and gratitude for nature among its students.

Career exploration means learning about different types of jobs and careers. It helps you understand what kind of work you might enjoy and be good at. Every person has different interests, skills, and dreams, and career exploration helps you find the best path for your future.
For example, some people love teaching and helping others, so they may want to become teachers. Others like building things, so they might want to be engineers or mechanics. Career exploration helps you discover your strengths and interests so you can choose a job that suits you.
Exploring careers is important because it helps you prepare for your future. When you learn about different jobs, you can make better choices about your education and training. It also helps you set goals that match your skills and passions.
If you choose a career you enjoy, work will feel more exciting and meaningful. On the other hand, if you pick a career without thinking, you might feel unhappy later. That’s why it’s important to explore your options carefully.
Here are some simple steps to explore careers:
Think About What You Like: Start by thinking about your hobbies, favorite subjects, and activities. What makes you happy? What are you good at? For example, if you love drawing, you might want to explore careers in art or design.
Learn About Jobs: Talk to adults like your parents, teachers, or relatives about their jobs. They can share what they do and how they got there. You can also read about different jobs online or in books.
Try New Activities: Join clubs, attend workshops, or volunteer. These activities can help you discover what you enjoy and build new skills. For example, if you join a science club, you might realize you enjoy experimenting and want to be a scientist.
Ask Questions: Don’t be afraid to ask questions. If you meet someone with an interesting job, ask them what they do, what they like about it, and how they started.
Setting goals helps you stay focused and work toward your dreams. Here’s how to set goals that suit you:
Know Yourself: Understand your strengths and interests. Think about what you enjoy and what you are good at.
Dream Big but Start Small: Think about what you want to achieve in the future. Then, break it into smaller steps. For example, if you want to be a doctor, your small steps could be studying hard in science and math.
Make a Plan: Write down your goals and the steps you need to reach them. For example, if you want to be a writer, your plan could include reading more books and practicing writing every day.
Stay Flexible: Sometimes, your interests or plans may change, and that’s okay. Be open to new opportunities and ideas.
Work Hard: No matter what your goals are, you need to work hard to achieve them. Stay focused and don’t give up, even when things get tough.
Career exploration and goal-setting are important for building a bright future. By learning about different jobs and thinking about your interests, you can choose a career that suits you. Setting clear goals will help you stay on track and achieve your dreams. Start exploring today, and remember, every step you take brings you closer to a successful future!
Place values are the values of each digit in a number based on its position. Starting from the right, each place value gets bigger by 10 times. The place values are:
Ones (1)
Tens (10)
Hundreds (100)
How to Write Numbers in Expanded Form
Let’s take the number 456. To write this number in expanded form, we break it down into its place values:
400 (hundreds)
50 (tens)
6 (ones)
So, the expanded form of 456 is:
400 + 50 + 6
Why is Expanded Form Important?
Writing numbers in expanded form helps us understand the value of each digit and how they contribute to the total number. It’s like breaking down a big puzzle into smaller pieces!
Example
Let’s try another example. The number 279 can be broken down into:
200 (hundreds)
70 (tens)
9 (ones)
So, the expanded form of 279 is:
200 + 70 + 9
Conclusion
In conclusion, expanded form is a powerful tool that helps us understand numbers better. By breaking down numbers into their place values, we can see how each digit contributes to the total number. So, next time you see a big number, try breaking it down into its expanded form!
We are very glad to share our experiences about Rashtrapati Nilayam visits on behalf of national science day celebrations held at bollaram, Hyderabad on 27th February-2025.
Honorable famous institution directors and senior scientists are shared their experiences and motivated about importance of technology in global era.

Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to understand, manage, and express emotions effectively while also being able to recognize and influence the emotions of others. It involves self-awareness, empathy, social skills, self-regulation, and motivation. Unlike academic intelligence, which is measured through exams and grades, emotional intelligence focuses on the emotional and social aspects of a person’s life, making it an essential skill for success and well-being.
Emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in our daily lives. It helps us communicate effectively, build strong relationships, and make better decisions. People with high emotional intelligence are better at resolving conflicts, coping with stress, and adapting to challenges. In a world that values collaboration and teamwork, EI becomes even more important than technical skills or IQ.
For children and students, emotional intelligence is a key factor in academic success and personal growth. Students with high EI are more likely to manage their emotions during exams, work well with peers, and seek help when needed. Moreover, emotionally intelligent individuals are more likely to develop resilience, which helps them navigate setbacks and failures with confidence.
How to Develop Emotional Intelligence in Ourselves
Practice Self-Awareness: Begin by paying attention to your emotions and understanding what triggers them. Keeping a journal can help you reflect on your feelings and behaviors.
Learn Self-Regulation: Train yourself to pause before reacting impulsively. Deep breathing, mindfulness, and stress management techniques can help you stay calm and composed.
Empathy Matters: Put yourself in others’ shoes to understand their emotions and perspectives. Listening actively and asking open-ended questions can enhance your empathy.
Build Social Skills: Practice effective communication by expressing your thoughts clearly and respectfully. Being open to feedback and resolving conflicts constructively are vital.
Stay Motivated: Set goals and work towards them with enthusiasm. Celebrate small achievements and learn from failures to maintain a positive attitude.
How to Teach Emotional Intelligence to Children
Model Emotional Intelligence: Children often learn by observing adults. Demonstrate emotional awareness, patience, and empathy in your interactions.
Encourage Open Communication: Create a safe space for children to express their emotions without fear of judgment. Teach them to label their feelings and understand their causes.
Introduce Emotional Vocabulary: Help children expand their emotional vocabulary by teaching them words like “happy,” “frustrated,” “anxious,” or “excited.” This enables them to articulate their emotions better.
Teach Problem-Solving Skills: Guide children to solve conflicts and challenges calmly. Encourage them to think about solutions instead of reacting impulsively.
Incorporate EI Activities: Schools can organize role-playing games, group discussions, and storytelling sessions to promote empathy, teamwork, and self-expression among students.
Benefits of Emotional Intelligence in Schools
Incorporating emotional intelligence into school curriculum has numerous benefits. It fosters a positive learning environment, reduces bullying, and improves peer relationships. Students with high EI are more focused and motivated, leading to better academic outcomes. Teachers also benefit from emotionally intelligent classrooms, as students are more cooperative and engaged.
Emotional intelligence is an invaluable skill that enriches every aspect of life, from personal relationships to professional success. By developing EI in ourselves and teaching it to children, we can create a society that values empathy, understanding, and collaboration.
In a world where emotions often drive decisions, emotional intelligence is not just important; it is essential for a happy and fulfilling life.

Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and logically. It means understanding a problem, analyzing it carefully, and finding a good solution based on facts. Critical thinkers do not accept everything they hear as true. Instead, they ask questions, check the evidence, and think deeply before making decisions.
Problem-solving skills are closely connected to critical thinking. These skills help us find answers to challenges we face in life. Problem-solving means identifying the problem, understanding it, and coming up with creative and practical solutions.
In today’s world, critical thinking and problem-solving skills are very important. We are surrounded by a lot of information, but not all of it is correct or useful. Critical thinking helps us decide what is true and what is not.
In school, these skills help students perform better in subjects like math, science, and even literature. In real life, they are essential for making good decisions, solving conflicts, and handling difficult situations. For example, when faced with a tough situation, a critical thinker will not panic. Instead, they will calmly find the best way to solve the issue.
In the workplace, employers value people who can solve problems quickly and think critically. These skills make individuals better at teamwork and leadership.
Schools play a big role in developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students. Teachers can encourage students to ask questions and think about the “why” behind things. Instead of just giving answers, they can guide students to find answers on their own.
Group discussions and debates are excellent ways to practice critical thinking. They help students see different points of view and learn to think for themselves. Problem-solving activities, like puzzles, projects, and case studies, also help students improve these skills.
Subjects like math and science naturally involve problem-solving, but schools can also teach these skills through games, stories, and teamwork activities.
Students can take steps to develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. First, they should learn to be curious. They should ask questions like, “Why does this happen?” or “What if we try this way?” Curiosity leads to better understanding and deeper thinking.
Reading books, watching educational videos, and exploring different ideas can also help. Students should try to solve problems on their own before asking for help. This helps them build confidence and creativity.
Another way is to work with others. By discussing problems with friends or classmates, students can learn from different viewpoints. Participating in activities like debates, quizzes, or science fairs can also improve these skills.
Lastly, students should not be afraid to make mistakes. Every mistake is a chance to learn and grow.
Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are keys to success in school, work, and life. They help us make better decisions, solve problems, and achieve our goals. Schools and students both have important roles in developing these skills. With practice and effort, anyone can become a better thinker and problem-solver.
Of course, teaching young minds in middle school comes with its challenges. This is an age of transition, and students often experience mood swings, peer pressure, and self-doubt. However, these challenges are also opportunities for teachers to make a difference. By showing patience, empathy, and encouragement, teachers can help students navigate these years with confidence and resilience.

Kindness and empathy are two of the most powerful tools we have to make the world a better place. They cost nothing, yet their impact can be priceless. In our busy lives, we sometimes forget how much a small act of kindness or a moment of understanding can mean to someone.
Kindness is about being good to others. It can be as simple as smiling at someone, helping a friend, or offering kind words. Kindness makes people feel loved and appreciated. When we are kind, we spread positivity and create happiness—not just for others, but also for ourselves.
Empathy is the ability to understand and share someone else’s feelings. It is like putting yourself in another person’s shoes. For example, if someone is sad, empathy allows us to understand their sadness and offer support. It helps us become better listeners and more compassionate individuals.
When we combine kindness with empathy, amazing things can happen. For instance, if a classmate is struggling with homework, offering help and understanding their frustration can make a big difference. They feel supported, and you feel good for helping.
Kindness and empathy also bring people closer. They build trust and strengthen relationships. A kind gesture or an understanding word can heal wounds, solve problems, and even prevent conflicts. Imagine a world where everyone practices kindness and empathy—it would be a peaceful and happy place!
In today’s world, many people experience stress, loneliness, and sadness. A little kindness can brighten someone’s day, and empathy can make them feel less alone. When we are kind and empathetic, we inspire others to do the same. This creates a chain reaction, spreading goodness everywhere.
Studies have shown that practicing kindness and empathy is beneficial for our health. It reduces stress, fosters a sense of connection, and boosts happiness. These qualities also make us better leaders, friends, and family members.
Practicing kindness and empathy is easy. Start small—say “thank you” and “please.” Listen when someone talks to you. Help your parents with chores or assist your classmates with their work. If someone is feeling down, try to understand their feelings and comfort them.
Avoid judging others. Everyone has their own struggles, and sometimes, all they need is someone who understands. Even if you can’t solve their problems, simply being there for them can mean a lot.
Teaching kindness and empathy to children is essential for their overall development. These qualities help children build positive relationships, understand others’ feelings, and create a caring community. They can be nurtured through intentional actions and activities in schools.
Teachers can incorporate stories, role-playing, and group discussions into their lessons to help students understand different perspectives. Encouraging teamwork and cooperation in projects also fosters empathy. Acts of kindness—such as helping peers, sharing, or volunteering—should be encouraged and rewarded to reinforce positive behavior.
Kindness and empathy are not just actions; they are attitudes. They remind us that we are all connected and that every small act of goodness matters. By practicing kindness and empathy, we can make a big difference in the lives of others and in our own.
So, let’s choose to be kind and empathetic every day. Together, we can create a world filled with love, understanding, and happiness.

Road safety is a critical aspect of modern life, ensuring the well-being of individuals traveling on roads. With the increasing number of vehicles and the rising pace of life, understanding and practicing road safety has become more important than ever. It is not just the responsibility of authorities or drivers but of everyone who uses the road, including pedestrians, cyclists, and passengers.
Importance of Road Safety
Every year, millions of lives are lost, and many more are injured due to road accidents. These accidents often occur due to careless driving, speeding, or lack of awareness of road safety rules. Following road safety measures can reduce accidents, save lives, and prevent injuries. Additionally, it ensures smooth traffic flow and lessens the burden on healthcare systems caused by accident-related emergencies.
Essential Road Safety Rules for Drivers
Drivers play a significant role in maintaining road safety. Following speed limits, avoiding distractions such as mobile phones, and wearing seat belts are basic yet vital rules. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is one of the leading causes of accidents and must be strictly avoided. Regular vehicle maintenance, such as checking brakes and lights, also helps prevent mishaps.
Safety Tips for Pedestrians
Pedestrians, too, must follow certain rules to stay safe. Always use designated crosswalks or pedestrian signals when crossing roads. Looking both ways before crossing and avoiding distractions like phones while walking are important habits. Wearing bright or reflective clothing at night can increase visibility and reduce the risk of accidents.
Role of Cyclists and Motorcyclists
Cyclists and motorcyclists must wear helmets to protect themselves in case of accidents. Following traffic rules, using proper signals, and ensuring their bikes have functioning lights and reflectors are crucial. Staying in designated lanes and avoiding risky maneuvers contribute to overall road safety.
Teaching Road Safety for Children
Teaching road safety to children is crucial. They should always cross the road at pedestrian crossings and wait for the signal. It’s important to look both ways before crossing. Wearing bright clothing helps drivers see them better. Kids should never run or play near busy roads. Walking on the sidewalk and not in the street keeps them safe. It’s also essential to listen to traffic signals and be aware of their surroundings. Using seat belts in cars and helmets when cycling helps prevent injuries. Following these simple rules can keep children safe on the roads. Schools and communities must educate children about basic road rules from an early age.
The Role of Technology in Road Safety
Advancements in technology, such as automatic braking systems, airbags, and road surveillance cameras, have enhanced road safety. GPS and traffic monitoring apps also help drivers avoid congested areas, reducing the chances of accidents. Governments are increasingly using technology to enforce traffic rules through speed cameras and automated fine systems.
Awareness Campaigns and Safety Workshops
Awareness campaigns, safety workshops, and strict enforcement of traffic laws can significantly improve road safety. The government and media also play a vital role in spreading awareness about road safety measures and the consequences of neglecting them.
Road safety is not just a rule to follow but a lifestyle to adopt. By adhering to traffic laws and being mindful of our responsibilities, we can create a safer environment for everyone. Every life is precious, and a small effort to follow road safety measures can make a big difference. Let us pledge to be responsible road users and contribute to a safer world.
