HOLIDAY HOMEWORK (2017-2018)
( Page not to be printed )
HURRAY! IT’S SUMMER TIME!
Vacations are times filled with joy and
happiness. What makes our summers
special in spite of the scorching heat
and sticky afternoons? Yes, Summer
Holidays! We wait for this time of the
year when we get the longest break from routine and studies.
Cool refreshing drinks, frequent showers, a swim in the pool
and trips to the hills offer a respite from the heat. So, what’s
your plan this summer? We thought of a bunch of interesting
things you can do, from reading a book to solving some
interesting riddles and also touching upon the lessons so that
you are prepared for school after the fun times.
Please download the worksheets below, print and solve
them.
