Summer

Break
Activities
Class: II
Session: 2023-24
Dear Parents,
It’s Summer Vacation again!
It is the most awaited time for both parents and kids. Vacation is the
time for the children to explore their myriad interest and indulge in
various activities which would lead to their all-round development.
We, at DPS Bathinda, understand it very well. Considering this, we
have tried to keep the homework simple, informative, interesting and
fun filled.
A few vital suggestions are listed below to make the vacations more
exciting and fruitful than ever before:
Keep at least half an hour a day for sharing experiences with
your child.
Tell your child different stories regularly and encourage him to
describe what he/she would do in a similar situation.
Encourage your child to speak in English. Fix one hour in a
day when you communicate with your child only in English.
Let your child colour, draw, paint, play with water and sand
etc.
Restrict his or her screen timing, confining it to interesting
children’s programs, cartoon films, Discovery channel etc.
Take your child out for picnics and to other places of his/ her
interest. Ask him/her to make a note of
all the places he/ she visits and the
things he/she sees so that he/she is able
to discuss his/her experience in class
after the vacation.
Let’s cheer for the 3R’s- Rejuvenation, Relaxation and Re-bonding!
Wish you all a fun filled, safe and healthy holidays ahead!
