HOLIDAY HOMEWORK

CLASS 2
SESSION 2020-21

As you may have already guessed

is summer will not be like the rest
And yet, there is so much to explore
Time to try what you hadn’t before
We can’t wait to meet you again
Be safe and sound until then!

STAY HOME! STAY SAFE!

Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use a sanitizer!

Dear Children,

the family and friends. Although this summer break is different, we must ensure it is no less
enjoyable and memorable. The homework is designed to fill your time with fun filled activities

skills in an entertaining way. Remember try to use as many recycled and reusable things you can
find at home for the activities.

and discuss with your parents, the many ways

in which you can be kind at home.

A) My Vocabulary Hanging!
Read books of your choice during the summer vacation. You may refer to the suggested readings
given below-
· Winnie the Pooh by AA Milne
· The Adventures of the Flying Magic, Jharokha series by Shamim Padamsee
· Stuart Little by EB Whiteo
· The Magic of the Lost Temple by Sudha Murthy

Ø Now find 10 new words that you have read in the books you read and write them down
on a strip of paper.
Ø Use a dictionary to find their meanings and write those down too on the strip.
Ø Fold old newspaper/magazine pages/ paper plates to create a circular shape like a plate.
Make ten of these and colour them on both sides.
Ø Next, stick the strip with the word and its meaning on the circle/plate.
Ø In a similar manner, paste the remaining words on all ten circles/plates.
Ø With help of an elder, pierce a hole in each plate using a sharp edged tool or object.
Ø Now use a strong thread to tie all the plates together giving it the shape of a wall
hanging.
And voila, your very own vocabulary hanging is ready!
