Dear Parent(s)
Greetings!
Exciting time is here again! Its time for summer
vacation
and
funfilled
activities.
Children
are
reservoirs of potential which need to be tapped and
channelized in diverse ways. It is essential to ignite
their imagination and foster an outlook that helps
them to explore, discover and rediscover. The
holidays’ homework
has been designed to enhance
the knowledge and creativity of the children and
teach them to work independently. It will not only
develop their basic academic skills but also personal
skills and the art of time management.
Remember, that summer vacation is the time to
relax and enjoy. So, spend these holidays creating a
nurturing and stimulating environment filled with
fun, frolic and learning.
