It’s summertime when faces light up with a smile as holidays are

about to begin.
It’s time for the children to feel free, unbound, high-spirited but
safe at home.

Summer break is a vacation time students eagerly await for. So,

now is the time to unlock the days creatively making the most while
at home. So, adopt a herb, a house plant or a flower, bake a cake,
sing-along, paint and draw and compose your own song or take up
your hobby as the school announces the summer vacation.

To ensure that the children have a constructive holiday, some

holidays’ homework & projects have been given which will keep the
child active and observant. These projects can easily be done by
the children and parents could assist only where required. You can
download the Holidays’ Homework from the school website for your
convenience and in case of any clarification, you may contact the
teacher concerned as it shall be a part of the internal assessment.

Stay safe, stay healthy!
