HOLIDAY HOMEWORK

GRADE – III
ACADEMIC SESSION 2018-19

The bell sounds its last ring, and others join in symphony.
Down the street I’m running; six whole weeks in front of me!
No more boring history or listening to what teachers say,
This is the day that makes me happy, because I am on HOLIDAY!!
Dear student,
As the Summer Holidays begin, children are set to be at home for a longer time. Here are a few
tips from us to make a meaningful summer of 2018 for them:-
 Have at least two meals together with your children. Tell them that hundreds of people work hard
to provide you a meal. Let the children understand the importance of agriculture and the hard
work of people in the fields.
 Let them wash their own plate after every meal. Children will learn dignity of labour from such
habits.
 Encourage them to read the news paper daily. You can start with the cartoon strips.
 Allow them to help you in cooking; let the children learn to make some snacks.
 Take them to your work place and let them understand that you work hard to support the family.
 Try to share stories and your old memories with them; tell them about your childhood and family
history.
 Teach them a few folk songs.
 As far as possible keep them away from TV and electronic gadgets; they have their whole life for
that.
 Laugh a lot with your child; create wonderful memories for them so that when they grow up they
will remember the good times of summer holidays!!

illustrate it with drawings. Note down the nouns in the story and differentiate them into common,
proper and collective nouns. Use A4 coloured pastel sheets and make a beautiful book cover.

2) Quality books often contain thought-provoking situations thus leading to character

development. It’s not just about becoming a good reader; it’s about becoming a good person. It’s
good for your mind to read books that have strong ideas. To inculcate this habit in our young
readers, we have introduced the novel ‘Heidi’ in our curriculum. Read Chapter 1 to Chapter 5 of
the novel during your holidays. Make a small dictionary of your own. Write the new words from the
chapters in it along with their meanings. Use ½ A4 coloured pastel sheet for the cover and
coloured fluorescent sheets inside.
