DELHI PUBLIC SCHOOL Secunderabad Dear Parents As Summer, with its longer days and less structured schedules, gets under way, keep in mind that learning happens all year long. During Summer break, children forget some of what they learned during the school year. So it becomes important to balance Summer fun with activities that have an educational twist. As you plan art activities, sign up for the library’s Summer reading programme and plot your family vacation, leaving room for plenty of hands-on family projects. “The most important thing that children gain from a hands-on curriculum is support for their natural curiosity,” says Calcagno. “They explore, question and wonder, and by doing so, learn!” Hands on projects and experiments provide students the opportunity to both construct meaning and knowledge by building connections between subjects. So this Summer, we have an interesting integrated project for the students of Class IV. Kindly let the child do his/her project on his/her own. You can help him / her. The project has to be submitted in a stick file on the re-opening day, i.e. 15 June,2015. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice-cream! English: Write the recipe of your favourite ice-cream. (or) Using a set of descriptive words, write an ice-cream advertisement. Create visual material to go along with the ad. These can go in the form of advertising posters, newspaper or magazine ads,… Math: An ice cream shop sells ice creams in 5 possible flavours: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, mango and pineapple. How many combinations of 3 scoops of cones are possible? [note: repetition of flavours is allowed.] Science: Why does your ice-cream drip down your arm? Social Studies: When and where was the ice-cream first invented? Write a paragraph to describe this. II Language: Write a paragraph on ice-creams. *******
