Staying Healthy During the Rainy Season

Staying Healthy During the Rainy Season

The rains are lurching in the corner. With them, they bring a refreshing change to the environment. Trees look greener, the air feels cooler, and nature seems to rejoice. Children often love the rains – jumping in puddles, floating paper boats, and enjoying the cool breeze. Rainwater also helps refill rivers and lakes and gives relief from the summer heat. However, along with all the fun and beauty, the rainy season can also bring some health problems. So, it is important for all of us, especially school children, to be careful and stay healthy during this time.

Common Health Issues in the Rainy Season

During the monsoon, the chances of falling sick are higher. Waterborne diseases like typhoid, cholera, and diarrhea can spread through contaminated water. Stagnant rainwater becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which can spread diseases such as dengue and malaria. Colds, coughs, and viral fevers are also quite common in this season due to changes in weather and wet clothes.

How Can Children Stay Safe and Healthy?

There are some simple precautions we can take to enjoy the rains without falling sick.

Avoid getting wet in the rain: Although it’s tempting to run out and dance in the rain, it’s best to avoid getting wet. If you do get wet, make sure to dry yourself properly and change into clean clothes. Always wear a raincoat or carry an umbrella when you go out.

Keep your hands clean: Wash your hands regularly with soap, especially before eating anything. This helps prevent the spread of germs that can cause stomach infections.

Drink clean water: Always drink boiled or filtered water during the rainy season. Do not drink water from unknown sources like roadside taps or hand pumps.

Eat fresh and home-cooked food: Avoid eating street food during the rains as it may not be hygienic. Eat freshly cooked meals at home and wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before eating.

Keep your surroundings clean: Make sure there is no stagnant water near your house or school. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in still water. Empty water from flowerpots, coolers, and buckets if not in use.

Wear dry and comfortable clothes: Damp clothes can cause skin problems and infections. Wear clean and dry cotton clothes that allow your skin to breathe.

Get enough rest: A healthy body fights off infections better. Sleep well, eat nutritious food, and keep yourself active with indoor games or simple exercises. 

The rainy season is a wonderful time of the year, full of freshness and fun. By following these simple tips, we can make the most of this beautiful season without falling ill. So, dear children, enjoy the rains, watch the rivers flow, and smell the wet earth – but also remember to stay safe, dry, and healthy. Taking care of your health means you won’t have to miss school or playtime, and you’ll have lots of happy memories to carry forward.

From Rote to Real Learning – A Shift in Mindset

From Rote to Real Learning –
A Shift in Mindset

In many schools, children are asked to learn by heart. They read the same thing again and again until they can say it without looking. This is called rote learning. But is this the best way to learn? Not always. Children may remember words for a test but forget them later. They may not understand what they are saying. That is why we need to move from rote learning to real learning.

Real learning means understanding the topic, thinking deeply about it, and using it in real life. It helps children ask questions, find answers, and explore new ideas. Real learning makes them active learners, not just quiet listeners. It makes learning fun, meaningful, and useful.

 Why Rote Learning Doesn’t Work Well

Rote learning focuses only on memory. It does not care if the child understands the idea. For example, a child may say “The sun rises in the east,” but not know what east means or why the sun seems to rise. If asked in a new way, the child may not know how to answer. Also, rote learning can feel boring. Children may lose interest in studies.

How is Real Learning helpful?

Real learning helps children to:

  • Think on their own
  • Ask “why” and “how” questions
  • Use what they learn in daily life
  • Solve problems in new ways
  • Work with others and share ideas

For example, instead of just learning the names of fruits, a teacher may bring real fruits to class. Children can touch, smell, and taste them. They can talk about their color, size, and shape. This makes learning more exciting and easier to remember.

How Teachers Can Help

  • Teachers play a big role in this shift. They can:
  • Give real-life examples
  • Use games, stories, and pictures
  • Ask open-ended questions
  • Allow children to speak and share
  • Give hands-on tasks and group work

Help children make links between what they learn and what they see around them

For example, while teaching measurement, teachers can ask children to measure their desk or lunch box. This way, children learn by doing.

What Parents Can Do?

Parents can also support real learning by:

  • Talking to their children about what they learn
  • Asking them to explain things in their own words
  • Helping them explore nature, books, and simple experiments
  • Encouraging reading, drawing, and problem-solving
  • Allowing them to make mistakes and learn from them

A Change in Thinking

To shift from rote to real learning, we must change the way we think. Learning is not just about marks. It is about building strong minds and good habits. It is about helping children grow into thinking, caring, and creative people.

While rote learning may help for a short time, real learning helps for life. It teaches children how to think, not just what to think. Let us help children enjoy learning, understand deeply, and use knowledge in the real world. That is the true purpose of education.

Sugar Board

05/07/2025, SAT



“Many cool drinks (soft drinks) contain a lot of hidden sugar.
Even a small bottle of cool drink may have 6 to 10 teaspoons of sugar!
This much sugar can affect our health badly if we drink them often.”

High Sugar =

  • Weight gain
  • Tooth decay
  • Risk of diabetes
  • Less energy after some time

👉 Next time before drinking a soft drink, think about how much sugar you’re adding to your body!

Better Choices:

  • Water
  • Fresh fruit juice (without added sugar)
  • Coconut water

Chronoethics: Respecting Time in a World That Never Stops

03/07/2025, THU


In today’s world, where everything moves fast and attention is constantly pulled in different directions, learning to value time has never been more important. Chronoethics is the concept of respecting time — being punctual, staying organized, and using each moment with purpose. It’s not just about following a schedule; it’s about living with intention and being mindful of how time is spent.

When time is respected, productivity naturally improves. Tasks feel more manageable, deadlines aren’t as overwhelming, and there’s a sense of control over the day. People who are consistent with their time are often seen as dependable and self-disciplined — traits that go a long way, whether in academics, work, or personal life. On top of that, good time management creates room for rest, hobbies, and relationships, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling routine.

Of course, it’s not always easy to stay on track. Procrastination, distractions (especially digital ones), and low motivation can get in the way. But small, practical strategies — like breaking tasks into steps, setting clear goals, and limiting unnecessary screen time — can make a big difference. Progress doesn’t have to be perfect, just steady.

Ultimately, chronoethics is about more than just being on time. It’s about respecting one’s own life and the time of others. When time is treated as something valuable, life starts to feel more organized, less stressful, and a lot more meaningful. Respecting time is one of the simplest but most powerful ways to live with clarity and purpose.
