it, from the farm to the market in linear fashion as per the given instructions. Paste
appropriate pictures along with the write-up.

SECTION 1: SCIENCE

Dear Parent,
3
We are all well aware of the prevailing scenario in context of Covid-19. We hope and pray
that the conditions would be conducive for the school to open in the month of July after the
summer vacation.

We would love to meet and greet our young learners in person and observe the work done
by them during the vacation time.

However, we request you to kindly click the photographs wherein the student can showcase
his/her journey of exploration (process/ files/ creative work). Compile the pics subject-
wise in separate files in PDF format (Max. size 50MB).

Kindly upload the PDF files on the Moodle using the Assignment module which will be
available from July 1-7, 2020 under the respective subject courses.

The schedule for submission of Holiday Homework hard copy (folders/ scrap book/ creative
work) will be shared on the first day of school after summer vacation.

Hoping for better times to come soon. Stay safe and take care till then.

Regards
