Dear Guardians of our VIII Class students,

We are sure that you will have the best of your vacations with our children. As vacations are drawing to conclusion, serious studies must replace in entertainment and idling holiday mood. So this holiday H.W. is an attempt to create a meaningful and joyful holidays for our children. Some how, as a Principal and Father of my students, I have always been in touch with the child in me – The child who still yearns for a natural world of bees, butterflies, flowers, lots of fun with Grand Parents, always demanding for the parents and many more planning with friends.

The best learning occurs when the activity has a purpose and is relevant.

For this reason suggestions listed here, which relate closely to the holiday experience, will be far more meaningful to our little ones than trying to complete school – related activities provided by the teachers.

We remind parents never to underestimate the value of travel as an

educational experience in itself.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION:

Take the time to pray with our little ones and discuss our values and rituals. They have many opportunities to hear other people‟s attitudes and values through the media. Sometimes, as Grand Parents, we forget to tell them our beliefs!

ENGLISH:

Talking and listening is a very important part of the English syllabus. There are lots of fun ways to pass the time and improve communication skills when travelling. Tell our little ones to read the different boards and flex as fast as they can during road journey.

Children are always best motivated to read and write when an activity is

related to what they are doing -

. Keep a daily diary during the holiday. If children need guidance with this, they can write under simple headings like “What I did” and “How I felt”. Depending on the child‟s age, drawing and labelling diagrams may be appropriate. . Use every opportunity along the way to read holiday related literature, road signs. maps and travel brochures.

Human Society and It‟s Environment :

. Learning about new places and reading information about the history / culture etc. of the holiday destination. . Children can make a holiday brochure to tell others about the area visited. (How much have they remembered) . Many places have historical sites / houses / museums worth visiting. After the visit have the children draw or writ e all the things they have seen / learnt.

Science and Technology :

. Learning how to use a camera

. Opportunities to cook with discussion about temperature etc.
