Holidays are fun
Forty- nine days of no morning sun
Late rising, lazy afternoon
Watermelon and mango scoops
Watching television at any hour of the day
Playground and fun are not very far away
But remember there are certain tasks to do
So let's do them without much ado
Dear Children,
It is summer and the memories are just waiting to happen. Off school, flip-flops,
lemonade, sunglasses, journey, taking pictures, sand castles, pool parties, icecream,warm air, camps and much more. It is a busy time, in some ways busier
than the rest of the year. There are a lot of additional activities, homework, and
longer days to cram it all into.
"I read, I forget, I discuss, I remember, I do, I inculcate."
This holiday package comprises of hands-on activities which would enable you
to attain personal fulfillment by getting to know yourself and your surroundings
better with greater joy. Do learn in a variety of ways-through experience, making
and doing things, experimentation, reading, discussion, asking, listening,
thinking and reflecting, and expressing yourself in speech or writing both
individually and with others.
Learning takes place both within school and outside school. Participate in social
and environmental projects. Be innovative! Work independently, collaboratively
and harmoniously.
We wish you all the best for your holidays. See you on 3rd of July full of beans.
With love
