HOLIDAY HOME WORK – 2020-21

CLASS V

Dear Parents

The much-awaited Summer Break is back and it’s time to enjoy many exciting things.

As we all know we all are passing through a tough time with this pandemic of Covid

-19, we are sure you will spend quality time together as a family. Apart from what

you have already planned for your children, let’s also engage them in enjoyable

activities that will teach them to shoulder responsibility and help enhance their

creativity and expression. Each task is carefully planned in order to make it student

friendly and interesting. All the tasks are related to the topics covered in April /May in

online classes. This is an effort to reinforce the concepts and make learning an

enjoyable experience.

Stay Fit and Stay Healthy… As you know, International Yoga Day is celebrated on

the 21st of June every year and yoga has become a part and parcel of our modern day

life.

Learn a few yoga asanas and practice them every day, so that

we too can be a part of the International Yoga Festival this year.

Link each asana learnt to the benefit it has on different parts of our body.

Please take note of the instructions given below:-

1. Holiday homework should be done under parental guidance and not by the parents.

The child must do it in his/her own handwriting.

2. The child should have a fixed time everyday for doing the assignments.

3. All the work should be done neatly, as instructed by the teacher, in the subject

notebook.

4. Nurture the child’s interest – be it art, music, dance or anything else. Let him/her

pursue a hobby of his/her choice at home.

Stay Home Stay Safe--- Stay Healthy!!!
