HOLIDAY HOMEWORK

2017-2018

I

Summer vacations are here

and this year we have decided

to do away with heavy

homework schedule.

We intend to work on

communication skills of our

little ones and have prepared

homework from this

perspective.

Task I : LET US CONVERSE

Good habits and manners are lifelong assets and they should be practised until they become a habit.

Encourage your ward to converse in English using the four magical words given below :-

1.Please : We use word “please” whenever we ask for something from someone. It is polite, it is

respectful and it is appreciated when we add “please” to our request. Encourage your child to use this magical word frequently. For eg :-

While asking mother to pass on the salt lying at far end of the table “ can you please pass on the salt mother.”

while seeking help of grandfather to complete your holiday homework- “ Please help me to complete the task at hand, grandpa”

Taking Permission :- Using “May I step in please?” before entering the room of elders at home

or before stepping in the classroom or office.

2 Thank You : There is not one day of our life which we spend without taking help from others.

Encourage your ward to express gratitude. You can start by yourself thanking the child for some task he

has done for you. The child can then be motivated to thank when :-

You prepare meal for him –“ Thank you mom, you have prepared delicious food for me.” When you help you ward to complete some task – “ Thank you father for helping me with the

project.” 3 Sorry : To err is human…..but saying sorry means you accept your mistake and are ready to make amends.

Teach your child to use this word when:

The child unknowingly retorts/ answers back. Give him time and space to say “ I am sorry. I will

not repeat the same mistake again.”

Encourage your ward to practise speaking the given and other similar sentences throughout the

vacation. Prepare a calendar of vacations and put tick on the number of days your ward spoke in

English. Share your feedback in the end. ( In either language)

Task II: PHONIC TIME

Help your child to learn the phonic alphabets from A–Z by preparing a phonic Pictionary. One

has been done for you as example:

A ए

Note :- Paste at least 5 pictures starting with each letter and assign priority to names of

fruits, vegetables, animals and birds. Try selecting words which your ward does not know in order

to enhance his/her vocabulary.

Task III: SPEEKABOO
