Dear Parents,

Jai Bharat!

"The holiday season is a perfect time to reflect on blessings and take out ways to make life better for those
around us". Summer Vacation is the most awaited time for parents and kids alike. However, this time it is
different due to second wave of COVID
COVID-19 as youngsters are already not going to school. Thus, our
responsibilities get double to keep our children active. We, at SVIS, understand it very well that presently
our access to resources is limited. Considering this, we have tried to keep "Summer Holid
Holidays Homework"
simple and informative but interesting as well, so that our kids love to spend their time in completing it.
The objective of holidays homework is to enable our toddlers work independently and also to improve their
academic skills.

Here are few suggestions for parents: -

· Make sure that you are spending quality time with your wards amidst in this tensed environment.
· It is very important to keep their anxiety at minimum.
· Giving them small responsibilities in household chores will aid them to be independent.
· Teach them the importance of moral values in their life.
· Motivate them to read good books.
· Keeping in view the prevailing situation indulge yourself in various indoor games with them.
We cannot overlook the fact that the Summer Holi
Holidays
days are the time to relax and revive. While the entire
world is struggling hard in recovering from the pandemic COVID
COVID-19,
19, we together will have to make it sure
that our youth is least effected from the panic around. So, make these holidays memorable for tthem by
providing a nurtured and stimulated environment at home which is full of fun, excitement, and learning.

Please note:

Ø Use resources (rough notebook, ruled/colored sheets) only which are available at home to complete all
Holidays Homework including craft work. Prepare a systematic timetable and follow it religiously from
the very first day.
Ø Allow them to complete homework on their own under your guidance.
Holidayss Homework is an interesting way to utilize our kids time in the most fruitful way. Wish you all a fun
filled, safe and healthy holidays ahead. Also, Let us not forget to express our gratitude to the brave hearts,
who have been working all over the world. Their selfless service is commendable.
