Dear Students,
Summer Vacation is the best and the most fruitful time for learning and nurturing
creativity. Keeping this objective in mind we have planned diverse and exciting activities
that will enhance your knowledge and boost your creativity.
“Knowledge is Power”. Therefore read lots and lots of books to cultivate the reading
habit and develop your vocabulary, language skills, increase your attention span and
improve your spellings.
“A healthy mind lives in a healthy body”. So play the sport of your choice. It
will help to instill discipline, generate sporting spirits and channelize your energies
constructively.
Get up early in the morning and see the rising sun. Do indoor exercises / yoga and stay
healthy and fit. Spend quality time with your elders and share your thoughts and ideas
with them.
Eat healthy food and drink lots of water during summer.
Integrating curriculum helps students deepen their understanding of the subject matter
and comprehend relationship between different areas of study. This year‟s holiday
homework has been designed keeping this interdisciplinary aspect in mind
