HOLIDAY HOMEWORK
CLASS II
2016
Summer Vacation is synonymous with fun, frolic, getting up late in he morning, playing for longer hours
with friends, visiting grand parents ,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 vacations more interesting,
meaning full 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.
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 nuture 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
you should 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 builds reading skills and increases his/her attention span.
2. “A healthy mind lives in a healthy body”. Encourage your child to go out and play because sports
instill discipline, generate sporting spirits, 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.
7. 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.
