INDIAN EXCELLENT PVT. SCHOOL, SHARJAH HOLIDAY HOMEWORK 2016 – 17

Name: Grade: 6

Summer vacation is probably the happiest period in a student's life.

We need rest to recoup health and vitality. We need to tide over the

unbearable heat of the summer months. It also gives us an

opportunity to visit new places.

Travelling is an experience and has with it educative value too. We

hope that you have a joyful time with your family. So, students sit,

relax and watch entertaining & informative movies, visit friends &

relatives. As important as it is to rest & enjoy, it is also important to

continue to learn. Strike a balance between work & play & allow

yourself to grow in the process.

Here are few tasks for you to be completed during the vacation. Do

remember to complete the given tasks after reading the criteria

carefully.

Holiday is a time to explore the world beyond text books and

mundane theories…Open your wings and explore the world

unknown, unseen and undiscovered…all the best!
