Dear Parents and Students,

The season of fiesta and fun is finally coming to an end and our kids would be preparing very hard
to face yet another season of final examinations. We as educators and grown-ups should
encourage our kids and make them more robust to face the challenges ahead. It is quite natural
that during the exam season kids and parents would have more stress and a few will be unable to
get along with it which may worsen the situation.
Keeping the following simple tips in your mind would boost your morale and equip you to face any
examinations.

Try to understand the concept in each subject, write the answers in your own words and do
regular revision.

Loud reading would help you to get more confidence and concentration.
Taking proper and hygienic food on time would nourish your MIND and BODY.
Having adequate sleep would help to relax your MIND and BODY.
Do some basic mental and physical exercises regularly in the morning.
When you feel more stressed - sit quietly, concentrate on one point and gently close your eyes
and try to visualize that point and say to yourself to relax. This would rejuvenate your MIND
and BODY.
Let us all pray to the Almighty for healthy and humane thoughts. Wishing you all success in the
examinations ahead.

















Be brave enough to face any challenge in your life.

Mr.Mahesh Iyer

Principal

Primary Wing says, “BIG OR SMALL, BAG IT ALL!!”

A penny saved is a penny earned and the primary section grades 1 and 2 kids of
Bhavans Smart Indian School have learnt the art of saving a penny for almost two
months where the kids brought in money from a range of 100 fils to a KD. Each day

they wholeheartedly filled their ‘Teeny-Tiny’ piggy banks after they thoroughly
understood the concept of saving it for a cause.

They finally got a chance to deposit their hard saved money in the school’s charity
box. The kids eagerly and patiently waited for their turn to drop it in the box.
Hoping that the kids have learnt the art of earning a penny by saving it, be it big or
small, the teachers encouraged them to continue it at home, thereby inculcating a
great virtue of life.

Students’ Corner









Our School Library

Our school library is the best. I love it because we can read lots of books
which are very interesting. When we go to the library we should be silent.
There are different types of books like story books, magazines and newspapers. We can
learn a lot of new words. We can read our favourite story books in the library.

Going to the library is a lovely thing for me. The teacher who takes care of the
library is called a librarian. Our school library is filled with books.
