Holiday Homework Class Pre - nursery

Dear Parent

As the school closes for the summer break on May 14, 2016; we have planned some

activities / worksheets / projects for your child to enhance his / her learning skills in a

fun – filled way.

To encourage your child’s self – esteem and feeling of courage, help your child discover his

/ her hidden talents and interests. Keeping the same objective in mind we have divided the

homework into two categories.

1. The first category would be the Fun-Activities which can be done with your children at

home so that you have the opportunity to spend some quality time with them and can be

informative and interesting at the same time.

2. The second category would have the worksheets which can be helpful for the little ones.

Have a joyful time. Happy Holidays

The wonders of where we are

And where we’ll be

What we do

And what we see.

What we find and what we

seek,

Not everyone knows

And I just wonder--- mom and

dad

Could you spend some time

with me!!!

“Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out”.

Dear Children,

Summer Vacations are synonymous with fun, frolic, getting up late in the morning,

playing for longer hours with friends, going for picnics, exploring new places and

watching fun filled shows on television. But dear children, there is a lot more you

can do to make your vacations more interesting, meaning full and full of fun; along

with doing all your heart desires. Here is a “Summer vacation Activity Treasure

Box” just for you. It will surely mould you for a better and successful forthcoming

year. So get ready for your treasure hunt.

Few guidelines for your parents to make your long summer break fruitful.

1. “Knowledge is Power”. Therefore encourage your child to cultivate the

reading habit because it not only enhances the knowledge acquired but also

develops the vocabulary, language skills and improves spellings. And also

read to your child because it builds reading skills and increases his/her

attention span.

2. “A healthy mind lives in a healthy body”. Encourage your child to go out and

play because sports instill discipline, generate sporting spirits, channelize

energies constructively.

3. Communication skills play a pivotal role in grooming the overall personality

of the children. Converse with your child preferably in English to help him /

her get comfortable with the language. Encourage your child to read children’s

magazines like Magic Pot, Chandamama, Champak etc.

4. Spend quality time with your child engaging him / her in activities based on

enhancing his / her powers of observation and imagination.

5. Encourage your child to play board games e.g. Chess, Ludo, Carrom etc.

6. Sensitize your child about the rich culture and heritage by watching different

informative channels like ‘The National Geographic’, Animal Planet etc.

7. Encourage your child to do the activities himself / herself and appoint a specific

time to do homework everyday.
