Dear Students
Greetings!
Summer vacation is a time when we play, enjoy waking up late, going out somewhere to
spend some days, shopping and have loads of fun with our friends and family. Many of us just
end up being lazy in vacations because sleeping, chatting, eating and talking are mostly the
only hobbies that we do to enjoy.
On the other hand, we try to forget tonnes of school homework that we've got to do during the
holidays! And finally when the school is about to reopen, we are in a fix and rush to complete
all the homework on time.
Here are a few tips that can help out

Try to spare two hours daily or on alternate days to do your homework.

To keep the school homework interesting, give yourself some little tasks.

Study effectively. As you are giving only a little time to your studies, so you should
study during those hours when you are in an active frame of mind.

Studying consecutive for two hours can be a little boring for some of you. So take
little breaks while reading or writing. You can do whatever you like in short breaks -listen to your favourite song, watch something for a brief moment on TV or even have
a chat with your siblings and then start with your homework again.

Finish the ones that can be done individually, then ask your elders to help you with
the remaining.

Plan with your friends or cousins. Organise a day for combine study, share your
homework, discuss important topics and guide each other.

In case, you have to go somewhere with your family to spend a good part of the
holidays, set a date to finish your homework beforehand so that you don't have to
worry about it later.
Regards
Principal
