Wishing you happy and bright holidays!

Dear Parents,

The school is observing summer vacation from 4th June to 11th July 2021. We

wish you and your child a very happy Summer Vacation.

Amid the tough time of Covid 19 which has prolonged for few another months

in this academic session, the teachers and students rapport can only be established

virtually. KPS has initiated the online classes to keep the students engaged in day to

day learning in its own pace. Children have again proved themselves to be the winners

as even during this unprecedented time of Covid 19, their learning has not stopped.

Vacations are the most appropriate time for Kids to refresh and rejuvenate

themselves, to be creative, to learn new skills and perform more enthusiastically. The

school has planned the holidays homework in such a way that the students will enjoy

doing it.

Besides this, some creative projects are introduced beyond the books which will

kindle curiosity among children and being inquisitive, they will search for the topic

and learn many new things. The students will have freedom to choose the topic of

their favourite subject and prepare the project.

In addition to this, the students are also given platform to express themselves in

any literary form like poem writing, script writing, dialogue writing, story writing,

Drama writing etc in any language of their choice.

Encourage your child to do all the work independently and in case of need,

provide guidance only.

All the students may contact their respective subject teachers in

case of any query.
