HOLIDAY HOMEWORK 2016-2017

LOWER KINDERGARTEN

Dear Parents,

The long awaited summer vacation is here when you will get an opportunity to spend

quality time with your child. As parents and teachers, we understand the importance of

developing the habit of eating healthy food amongst our little ones. This is the best time

when you can inculcate the habit of eating healthy food in your child. As you are aware

our little Springfielders enjoy ‘Fruit Break’ during the end of the day on daily basis in

the school, during holidays also we want them to follow the same habit at home.

Therefore, the theme for the Holiday Homework is:

“Juicy Juicy Mangoes”

Here are few interesting activities that will keep your child engrossed indoors:

1. Read any story book related to mangoes for your child. Also encourage

her/him to read the book. When the child comes back to the school, she/he

should be able to narrate the story in her/his own words in English.
