HOLIDAY HOMEWORK CLASS IV
2016
Summer Vacation is synonymous with fun, frolic, getting up late in the morning, playing for
longer hours with friends, visiting grandparents, going for outings, exploring new places and
watching fun filled shows on television. But dear children, there is a lot more you can do to
make your vacation more interesting, meaningful and full of fun; along with doing all your
heart desires. Here is a “Summer Vacation Activity Treasure Box” just for you. It will surely
mould you for a better and successful forthcoming year. So get ready for your treasure hunt.
Here are a few guidelines for your parents to make your long summer break fruitful.
Dear Parents
Develop time management skill in your child. The best way to nurture your child is to combine
learning process with play and fun. So while weekends can be NO WORK DAY, on weekdays
please ensure the child spends atleast two hours in finishing the homework. You can help your
ward. However, in no case should you complete his work. Lets make a timetable and learn to
balance work and play so that they can complete the given homework well in time and to the
best of quality.
1. “Knowledge is Power”. Therefore, encourage your child to cultivate the reading habit
because it not only enhances the acquired knowledge but also develops the vocabulary,
language skills and improves spellings. And also read to your child because it increases
his/her attention span and sends an important message that reading is worthwhile
2. “A healthy mind lives in a healthy body”. Encourage your child to go out and play
because sports instill discipline, generate sporting spirit and channelize energies
constructively.
3. Communication skills play a pivotal role in grooming the overall personality of the children.
Converse with your child preferably in English to help him / her get comfortable with the
language. Encourage your child to read children’s magazines like Tintin, Chandamama, etc.
4. Spend quality time with your child engaging him /her in activities based on enhancing
his/her powers of observation and imagination.
5. Encourage your child to play board games e.g. Chess, Ludo, Carrom, Scrabble etc.
6. Sensitize your child about the rich culture and heritage by watching different informative
channels like ‘The National Geographic, ‘Animal Planet’ etc.
Give a daily task to your child eg. Laying dining table, cleaning of room, setting his/her
cupboard, watering plants, arranging books & toys, making any summer drink etc. This would
help in developing a sense of responsibility towards family and home.
