Summer Holiday

Homework 2017

Dear Parent,

The summer holidays provide not only a welcome respite to the

children but also act as rejuvenating and revitalizing experience

for them. For this, it is imperative that they use this time for

pursuing various creative and purposeful activities. Every game,

every friendly scuffle, every experience of life adds a little more

to their skills and personality. Any activity can become an

interesting learning experience for a child.

When children are given simple tasks to do, it enhances their self confidence and sense of responsibility.

Remember to compliment children for their work. There are many simple chores around the house that

children can easily do. For instance, putting away toys after play, help in dusting the house, arranging

cupboards, looking after the pets, watering plants, wiping and arranging utensils and so on depending on

the age and capability of the child.

Social interaction is a skill which develops effectively when children get a chance to mix around with

family members, friends and people from all walks of life. Vacation time provides ample opportunity for

this. Spend time sharing stories or discuss open ended questions and acknowledge the feelings that are

expressed.

Make your ward aware about conserving Electricity, Water and Fuel. Let them follow you as you switch

off lights/fan/appliances, close running taps or turn off the engine of your vehicle at the traffic signal.

Here are some projects which will not only keep children occupied but also make them learn to explore,

observe, concentrate, ask questions, find solutions and be more confident and independent.

PLEASE NOTE Creativity and originality of the work will be appreciated.

Homework should be done neatly on A4 size coloured sheets.

Compile and put your holiday homework in an illustrative portfolio

folder with an eco-friendly cover.
