Holiday Homework (2017-18)
Dear Children
School is out and summer holidays are right here. It is time to make great memories with family and friends. There is so
much that you can do during your summer breaks. Swim in the pool, eat ice creams, read as many books as you can, lend
a helping hand to moms and dads, visit grandparents, travel to new destinations, learn and explore new things, and
of course go out every evening to the park nearby and play with friends to your hearts’ content.
We are also giving you a variety of fun-filled activities which you can do during the noon time. Do the assignments
neatly and submit them to your teachers after the vacation.
Wishing you all a very enjoyable and fun-packed summer break. See you on Wednesday, June 28, 2017.
Best wishes
Principal
