SUMMER HOLIDAYS HOMEWORK

Dear Parents,

Long summer break is the most enviable part of school life! It

provides time for rest and leisure. Children can just laze around,
unwind, eat, play and make merry!

Vacations are of course a time to reinvigorate and revive.

However, the duties of a student must not be forgotten either. A
balance, therefore, between recreation and work must be found to
ensure a break that is productive as well as relaxing.

Holidays are great, but schoolwork can be fun filled and inspiring too! As the school closes for the summer break
we have planned some activities / worksheets / projects for your child to enhance his / her learning skills in a
fun filled way. We have tried to make the work enjoyable keeping in mind the interest of the children. Space out
the work and the child will enjoy doing it.

HOLIDAYS HOMEWORK FOLDER: Attempt all the Worksheets given in the Holidays Homework Folder.

GET CREATIVE: Help your child make an attractive, handmade folder with old newspapers. Decorate it and
compile all the holiday homework in it.

EVERYDAY ACTIVITIES

 Get up early in the morning and see the rising sun.

 Go for nature walk.
 Feel the fresh air: Take a deep breath and do breathing exercises.
 Hear the birds chirping.
 Water the plants and feed the birds
MUST DO

1. Encourage your child to eat healthy food and drink lots of water during summer.
2. Try to speak in English with your ward.
3. Make a routine for your child to play, revise concepts and watch T.V. (Let your child watch some
entertaining T.V. shows so that he/she does not watch T.V. as a pastime).
MAKE YOUR HOME A PLACE FOR READING
Here are some tips to help parents of young children to promote reading at home.

 Choose a quiet time for reading to your child, as in before a nap, bedtime, or after dinner.
 Choose a special place for family reading, like a comfortable chair or pillow piled on the floor.
 Let your child select the book for you to read.
 Hold the book so that she or he can see the pictures. If possible, also let her or him turn the pages.
 Take time to look at and talk about the pictures. Don't just read the story: talk about it. Let your child
point out the letters, shapes, colors and animals.
 Understand that reading begins at home. Children read their environments, so make your home a print
rich environment.
 Read! Don't expect reading to be important to your children if they see that it's not important to you.
 Invite your child to read with you.
 Read aloud to your child every day.

TRAVEL TIME ACTIVITY

As children learn to observe their surroundings, they begin to both identify and distinguish between sounds,
sights, tastes, smells, and sensations. They develop a sense of curiosity about themselves and the world around
them.
We encourage our parents to point out, discuss and expose children to the world around them. First hand
observation and hands-on exposure is the best way to give pre-scholars and the foundation that they need for
learning.

Directions:

1. Once you are on a road-trip, talk to your children about the surroundings. If you are going through a
village, you should explain that this is a village. Point out the fields, trees, flowers, animals, water bodies,
local market, village hall, post office and explain what goes on there. Talk about what makes up and goes
on in a village or any other area that you are crossing.

2. As you're in the car, shopping at the grocery store, or waiting at the petrol pump, help your toddler to point
to all the things he/ she sees. Help him/her to identify various shapes and colours.

3. Children should be encouraged to ask questions. As we all know, having answers to questions is the first
step towards satiating the basic thirst for knowledge.

MAKE YOUR CHILD INDEPENDENT

Make your child more independent by teaching him/her various activities like:

• Buttoning and unbuttoning the shirt.

• Laying the table.
• Folding mats and clothes.
• Arranging their toy shelf.
• Learn how to wear shoes and socks.
• Learn how to zip your school bag and clothes
• Sorting and pairing household items.
• Segregating various sizes of buttons for sequential knowledge.

 The school shall remain closed for the Summer Holidays from
Sunday, 25-May-14 to Monday, 30-Jun-14.

 School shall reopen on Tuesday, 1-Jul-14.

 All students are required to complete their Holiday Homework and

submit it on Tuesday, 1-Jul-14.

Dikshant wishes all of you happy and healthy summer holidays
