PRAGATI PUBLIC SCHOOL
SUMMER HOLIDAY HOMEWORK
CLASS VII SESSION 2015-16
Summer brings us nice warm sun,
For swimming, dancing and lots of fun for everyone.
Dear Parent(s),
Summer Vacations are at our doorstep. Holidays are a well deserved
opportunity to relax and rewind by indulging in activities that are pleasurable and
at the same time educative. Summer vacation is probably the happiest period in a student's life. The purpose of
the summer vacation is multifold.
One is relaxation. A student gets fatigued after the end of the annual examination. He needs rest to recoup health
and vitality. The second purpose is to tide over the unbearable heat of the summer months. The third purpose is
to provide a chance to a student to make up his deficiencyin any particular subject. It also gives an opportunity
to him to visit new places. Travelling is an experience and has with it educative value.
