SUMMER HOLIDAY HOME WORK (2017-18) CLASS -IX

Dear Student For all of us, summer marks a clear change of rhythm. Whether you're playing, internet surfing ,taking summer classes, travelling or just kicking back and relaxing, you're bound to have more” Me Time” . We pick up good habits and are just all-around more relaxed. Let us put together some of the good things we can do better and make us more creative and responsible. Here are some guidelines to invigorate while enjoying the activities for vacations:

❖ Healthy Habits: During summer vacation, we gain weight up to three times faster than during the school year, according to the National Summer Learning Association. Obesity is a growing, national epidemic, which can lead to serious health problems, including Type 2 diabetes. Making small changes one day at a time can go a long way toward helping you live a healthier life .Here are some tips for starting your healthy summer habits:

• Limit TV and computer time.

• Plan a time to get out of the house for walks, trips to the park or other physical activities.

• Eat a more balanced diet

• Do simple exercise regularly and get your beauty sleep

• Take time to find new passions ❖ Reading Habits: Reading is not just an important habit it is also a way to enjoy informative,

creative, and inspiring works of literature that enrich our life experiences.

• Make time for reading out of your busy schedule

• Make a reading list

• Keep reading materials handy.

• Read newspaper everyday ❖ Helping poor and needy people: There are people who have much more than they need to

live while others have barely enough to survive.

• Fund Raising

• Donate Groceries/Eatables

• Collection Drive

• Donate old clothes and toys ❖ Positive ideas for positive change: Negative thinking is like a giant wall. It closes you in,

keeps you from accomplishing goals, and blocks you from moving forward in life—whether it be learning, growing, or obtaining happiness. What’s one way to stop this from happening? By encouraging a positive attitude

• Be an example. Model a positive, encouraging attitude in all that you say, do, and believe.

• Visualize a positive outcome from every scenario before starting.

• Eliminate negative verbiage from your dialogue.

• Pen down any one change that you want to bring to the school system. ❖ Land your hand to fight global warming: By the next 10 months, our earth will become 4

degrees hotter than what it is now. Our Himalayan glaciers are melting at rapid rate. So let all of us lend our hands to fight GLOBAL WARMING. The greatest aspirations of humankind have always been to save the world, and also save ourselves. However, there are little things that you can do on a daily basis to make yourself feel better while also making the world a better place.

• Use public transport and save fuel.

• Eat only seasonal fruits and vegetables. Reduce import. Reduce Carbon dioxide

• Turn off the tap while brushing and save water.

• Turn off extra lights and fans. Switch to LEDs or CFls and save energy

• Wash your car using water in a bucket and save water

• Reduce your paper usage simply by using emails and e docs and save trees.
