“Happiness is seeing the smile on a children’s face as they learn”

Let's help our children to use this unlimited time at home as the golden opportunities

by fulfilling their hobbies and interests. You are advised to use this golden time to

develop your child's artistic skills and new habits. Also, your children will enjoy

assisting you in the household chores.

We want to make our children good innovators, creators, communicators, thinkers

and leaders. Keeping this in mind, we have designed the Holiday Homework for out

little stars.

GUIDELINES FOR THE PARENTS

Kindly ensure that the holiday home work is completed by the students under the

guidance of the parents.

Make sure your child follow the following things:

1) Healthy morning: Help your child inculcate good habits like doing yoga, some kind

of exercise and encourage him/her to wish all elders in the morning.

2) Physical Development: Play different games like hide and seek, football, ludo,

chess, puzzles, snakes and ladders, carom board etc. with your child. This will

encourage them to express freely and will make them more responsible.

3) Language Development: Encourage your child to converse in English. Let them

come up with their thinking skills on any topic and give them time to feel

comfortable with you while doing so.

4) Bond with your child: Tell your ward about your childhood, share incidents from

the past and show him/her old family albums. This will strengthen the bond between

you and your child. Cook dinner together, show your child how to measure 1 cup,

1/2 cup, 1 teaspoon etc. Start naming the food groups when you serve them. Let

your child help in household chores like cleaning windows, filling water bottles,

laying table, arranging toys, watering the plants etc.

5)Health and Hygiene :“Healthy mind resides in a healthy body.” So start your day

early and set a routine even during vacations. In addition you and your little one can

spend some quality time playing, exercising to keep yourself fit and healthy.

Encourage your child to take care of personal hygiene by inculcating the habits like

washing hands, practicing yoga, eating healthy food etc.
