(SUMMER HOLIDAYS HOMEWORK)
Dear Children,
At last the much awaited summer vacation has begun. It is a time
for relaxation and enjoyment. As important as it is to rest &
enjoy, it is also important to continue to learn.
Strike a balance between work and play and allow yourself to
grow in the process. Let vacation time be a doorway to creativity,
learning, growth and joy. We have some very interesting Holiday
Homework for you this vacation. You are sure to enjoy this learning
activity. The projects have been chosen with a lot of deliberation.
Utmost care has been taken to ensure that you use your creativity,
your innovative ideas and your imagination to shape your projects
into beautiful, wonderful ‘creations’. Relax, enjoy, have loads of
fun and come back refreshed.
Here are some tips which you might find beneficial during the
vacation.
Familiarize yourself with concept of time management by drawing
up a
schedule. Vary the schedule with fun activities and ensure that
you get enough
rest as it is going to be very warm.
Bond with friends and relatives. Avail all opportunities for
social interaction.
*Decorate the waste plastic bottle and use as pots to grow
plants and bring it to school.
Read as much as you possibly can. Visit the local library or
bookshop. Select 8 to 10 books that you will enjoy reading.
Visit the supermarket in order to practice money handling and
basic math
transactions. Remember that plastic bags must not be used
because they are dangerous for children and bad for the Earth.
Enjoy a good water swim. Enrol for professional swimming classes
if required.
*Be vigilant of safety at all times and ensure adult
supervision. You must always be aware of saving yourself from
excessive exposure to the sun and its hazards. Use sunscreen
lotion, wear sun visors and avoid looking directly at the
sunlight.
It is important that you keep yourself hydrated by drinking a
lot of fluids and eating fresh fruit and vegetables. Avoid street
food as rising temperatures encourage food contamination and
decomposition. Remember to carry filtered water in water bottles
for any outdoor activities.
Make indoor experiences fun by inviting friends and organizing
small group activities such as, drama, dumb charades etc.
Play indoor board games like chess, carom, monopoly, scrabble
etc.
Undertake to do one household chore like watering the plants or
washing the car to inculcate a sense of responsibility.
Rise early in the morning, go for morning walks, exercise, read
the morning newspaper and do crosswords, mazes, quizzes etc. Keep
abreast of general knowledge and current affairs.
Art and craft projects are ideal to do at this time of year.
Limit the use of television and the internet. It is a great
source of innovation and inspiration only if used discreetly.
Watch informative channels such as National Geographic, BBC
and
Discovery. You can discuss the programs at the dining table or
during family time.
Cyber Safety
Some of your assignments require you to research online and
gather information.
Here are some guidelines for you dear young ones to use some
caution while surfing the net. Don‟t fret ,there are many ways to
curtail the ill effects of cyber surfing.

telephone number, parents‟ work address/telephone number without my
parents‟ permission.

that makes me feel uncomfortable.

or others online and not post any pictures that my parents consider
to be inappropriate.
4. I will talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for
going online and using a mobile phone. We will decide upon the time
of day that I can be online, the length of time I can be online and
appropriate areas for me to visit. I will not access other areas or
break these rules without their permission.
5. I will not give out my passwords to anyone (even my best
friends) other than my parents.
6. I will check with my parents before downloading or installing
software or doing anything that could possibly hurt our computer or
mobile device or jeopardize my family‟s privacy.

hurts other people or is against the law.
8. I will help my parents understand how to have fun and learn
things online and teach them things about the Internet, computers
and other technology.

10. I will immediately log off any website if it has
inappropriate content (even accidentally).

use the internet with their guidance and avoid inappropriate sites.
