CLASS V

Dear Parent,
Summer Vacations are synonymous with fun, frolic, getting up late in the morning,
playing for longer hours with friends, going for picnics, exploring new places and watching
fun filled shows on television. But, there is a lot more your ward can do to make
vacations more interesting, meaningful and full of fun. Here is a Summer vacation
Activity Treasure Box. It will surely mould your ward for a better and successful
forthcoming year.
Few guidelines to make your wards long summer break fruitful.
1. Knowledge is Power. Therefore encourage your child to cultivate the reading habit
because it not only enhances the knowledge acquired 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 childrens magazines like Magic Pot,
Chandamama, Dimdima 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 etc.
6. Sensitize your child about the rich culture and heritage by watching different
informative channels like The National Geographic, Animal Planet etc.
7. Encourage your child to do the activities himself / herself and appoint a specific time to
do homework everyday.

ENGLISH
Note for Parents :
English Holiday Homework teaches your ward how to read, comprehend information and
communicate ideas with others. Reading develops virtues, senses and enhances
knowledge. Newspaper reading creates awareness and helps him/her to keep pace with
the world. Vocabulary sharpens his / her communication skills. You are requested to
encourage your child to do Holiday Homework on his/her own so that the aims and
objectives of learning are achieved in real sense. Please be a guide and a facilitator but
ensure that the efforts should be solely of the child.
