Summer Vacations Homework

Class VII Session (2015-16)

Dear children,

Summer is a great time to have fun. It is the perfect time for you to discover that learning is

enjoyable and can happen anywhere.

The much awaited summer vacation is here, make this time a learning experience. There are

great temptations for you to spend hours watching television or playing video games, but with

a little planning, the summer can be transformed into a time to stretch the mind, explore new

hobbies, learn about responsibilities and build on skills learned during the school year. It is an

escape from all the hard work and complications of normal school life. It allows us to spend

some time relaxing and enjoying the social aspects of life. However, you must continue learning

even when you are having fun. Learning can take place whether you are taking a trip to a far-off

place or spending time in your own neighborhood, going out with friends to the beach, or

having a fun filled party,

To inculcate originality, creativity and interest and keep you engaged in the scorching heat of

summer, we bring you a series of constructive and enjoyable activities. It will surely enhance

your learning process.

Wishing you all a very enjoyable and fun-packed summer break.

Ms Mahvash Roshani
