Dear Parents
Sub : Summer Vacation Holiday Homework
Even in these critical times of the COVID pandemic, the school has, as always, kept the interest
of the students the primary focus. Our untiring efforts have earned us a very good and
encouraging response from the students and the parents.
To minimise academic loss, we are continuing to put in our best efforts so that your ward
utilises his/her summer break in an efficient way.
We will resume classes in June 2021, as per the Government guidelines and directives issued
in due course of time. The relevant details will be notified to you accordingly.
As always, please check your email regularly for important updates like holiday
assignments, date sheet, syllabus for unit tests and more.
Kindly encourage your ward to complete the holiday assignments.
While the children are at home kindly encourage your ward to do the following as well:
   1. Revise the syllabus covered till date.
   2. Watch interesting documentaries on educational channels on T.V for short while like
      Animal Planet, National Geographic and Discovery.
   3. Listen to stories and share them with others in the family.
   4. Use their imagination to modify the stories they know to create new ones.
   5. Use the new vocabulary learnt in their conversations.
   6. Do something creative everyday: Art, smokeless cooking, gardening, playing music,
      making handmade objects, which are a part of experiential learning..
   7. Be independent and follow a routine. Develop the habit of morning toilet when they get
      up, eating on their own, sleeping and getting up on time, dressing up on their own.
   8. Do simple household chores.
Apart from these, please encourage your child to do Yoga/Physical Exercise/Dance/Aerobics
daily in the morning to keep them fit and physically active.
As suggested by the school in our earlier notice regarding covid awareness and diet plan, you
must encourage your ward to have balanced diet for their wellbeing and to keep themselves fit
and healthy.

Stay home and stay safe.

                            Nursery (Session 2021-22)
                                                                Date:03.05.2021

Dear Parents,

I hope you and family are safe and taking all the necessary precautions. The
summer vacation has started. Please take the opportunity to strengthen your
bond with your children by engaging in fun filled activities. We have put
together a few activities themed ‘Me and My World’ to help you in this
endeavour.

                            “ME & MY WORLD”

     1.LET’S DEVELOP OUR SKILLS:

  ❖ Enrich their storehouse of knowledge by cultivating a ‘Reading Habit’. Read a
     story to them every day, this will not only enhance their vocabulary but
     develop their linguistic skills. As you read, let them point out to the pictures
     and talk about what is happening to the character and the character he/she
     likes the most.
     Reading suggestions:
        a. The Mixed- Up Chameleon
        b. Lady bird series
        c. Panchtantra and Jataka Tales etc.
ST ALBANS SCHOOL SECTOR - 15, FARIDABAD
❖ Cultivate Manners

     In today’s digital age teaching a child to manage the telephone is a skill, and it
     is also good way to practice learning numbers and letters. Allow your child to
     dial the numbers of their relatives like naani, maasi, uncles etc. and talk to
     them on phone which will develop their ‘Communication Skills’ too. Focus on
     telephone manners, using ‘Golden Words’ and greeting the members of the
     family. Encourage them to speak in small but complete sentences.

  ❖ Children love colours, let us give them time to
       have fun with them. Such activities help in
       developing ‘Eye/Hand Coordination Skills.’

        ➢ Art & Craft activity sheet 1
     (Read the instructions in the worksheet. Refer to
      the picture given.)

  ❖ Children tend to find ways to play with their parents or siblings. During such
     difficult times when they are confined to their house let us think of
     activities that can be played indoors and keep the children occupied. Let us
     spend time with them, it will not only help in developing their ‘Gross Motor
     Skills’ but also strengthen the bond they share with you.

Father and Child Activity:
Instructions-Place the glasses or tins in a row and crawl between the objects
without touching them.

 “Children are more likely to make healthy choices when their parents set a good
                                                example.” Show them that you

                                                enjoy exercising and being healthy
                                                and they will be more willing to
                                                give it a chance. Make a habit of
                    Pretend to be a Tree        waking up early, carry out
                                                yoga/exercise session with your
