Dear Children,
Vacation has just one letter difference with vocation. Summer vacation is the time when you
can be more candid and creative. This is the time when skills, other than intellectual skills,
can be nurtured and developed in your soft and evolving brains. Holiday assignments are
focused to let the creative and latent talents, skills and desires of the children come to the
surface so that they may be identified and satisfied.
So dear children, Get… Set… Go… Enjoy doing the activities and ensure timely completion of
the given assignments. Remember a well presented Holiday Homework fetches you a prize.
Activities for enjoyment

intellect, but what about the rest of your body? You do need some exercise, don’t you? Go
cycling, play badminton, cricket, kho-kho, hide n’ seek …… anything that makes you run.
3. Visit new places along with your family and make a collage, using photographs on your
return and show them to the class teacher, e.g., local historical sites can be visited.

members. Ask your family members if they need some help and then do the needful.
