SUMMER SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES

P3 (MAY-JUNE 2018-19)

Dear Parents,

Here comes Summer-the season of mangoes and lassi………..Allow your children

to enjoy their summer break. They must get proper sleep, eat well and eat
healthy. Give them seasonal fruits and vegetables to savor so that they develop
a taste for them. Teach them to take care of their personal hygiene and look
smart.

We are providing you with a few suggestions to help your child make the best
of the vacation. They are as follows -

1) At the start of the holidays, parents must sit down with their children
and collectively write down a list of everything their children might
enjoy doing during their break. These can be basic activities, such as
playing ludo/scrabble, reading a book, or going for a bicycle ride. They
could also be more elaborate ideas such as cooking a fancy dinner, putting
up a play, or practising gardening. Please give them the liberty to choose
activities on their own and do them when they actually feel like doing
them. It’s all right for him to feel bored sometimes too, as it will provide
a trigger for him to take up something on his own without the parents
forcing him to do so. Our role as a parent is to prepare children to take
their place in society. Being an adult means occupying yourself and filling
up your leisure time in a way that will make you happy. If parents spend all
their time filling up their child’s spare time, then the child is never going
to learn to do this for himself.
2) Reading aloud and sharing stories with your child is a great way to
spend time together. Reading and storytelling also helps promote
language, literacy and brain development.

1
3) Reading isn’t the only way to help with your child’s language and literacy
development. Telling stories, singing songs and saying rhymes together
are also great activities for literacy skills and your child will probably
have a lot of fun at the same time. Sometimes your child might enjoy
these activities more than reading. You might like to make up your own
stories or share family stories. Your child will learn words and
develop language skills from the songs, stories and conversations you
share together. You can read, sing and tell stories with your child in
whatever language you feel most comfortable speaking in.

4) Don’t worry if English isn’t your child’s first language. Knowing another
language will actually help your child learn English as he will learn to
appreciate communication. A good option is to read a book aloud in English
and talk about it with your child in whatever language feels most
comfortable to both of you.
5) Make writing fun by choosing age appropriate activities.
6) Give them reasons to write. Write to each other. Write notes to your
child and leave them in interesting places, like their lunch box. Ask them
to write a reply. Help them email, text or write to family, or friends.
Work with them to put labels on special things – like the door to their
room or their toy box.
Here’s a tip - display their work. Put it on the fridge. Be proud of it.
Share it with others.
7) Encourage writing and talk about their writing
Talk about the letters in your child’s name and where the name comes
from. Help them create a scrapbook with pictures. Encourage them to
write stories under the pictures and talk to you about them. Ask them to
write about pictures they draw - on paper or on the computer. Or get
them to tell you the story and you write it under the picture.
Here's a tip - talk about what your child writes. Be interested. If you
don’t understand what your child’s picture or story is about, ask them to
tell you about it.

2
 8) Mathematics at home
Maths is an important part of everyday life and there are lots of
ways you can make it fun for your child using easy and everyday
activities like preparing and sharing out food, talking about time etc. –
Practise the concepts done in school and then allow him to attempt
the sums on his own. Dodge tables randomly for them to revise their
multiplication tables.

Your children will be taking their first review worksheet in the month of
July. Kindly revise all the concepts done so far.

Let’s join hands in raising polite and kind human beings.

 Asking with a please

 Accepting with a thank you
 Kindly declining gifts
 Interrupting in the right manner
 Asking for a permission with a ‘May I‘’
We have to raise loving and empathetic kids by teaching them to share with all
and care for others. This will make the world a better place to live in.

Have a lovely summer break. We will be there to welcome back your children on
the 2nd of July 2018.

Happy holidays!!!

COMPREHENSION PASSAGE

Read the given passage carefully and answer the following questions.

A long time ago, there lived a boy called Ma Liang. He was poor and kind. He
wanted to paint beautiful pictures but he could not afford paint brush and
colours. One night, he dreamt that an old man gave him a magic paint brush and
asked him to use that to help the poor. The next morning, Ma Liang woke up
early. He found a golden paint brush shinning on his bed. Now, he could paint
whatever he wanted. He helped his family and other poor people of his village.
They were grateful to him. Soon the news reached the royal palace. The
emperor was a greedy man for wealth so he wanted Liang to paint lots and lots
of gold but he refused as he wanted to paint things only for poor people. The
emperor was furious. He locked up Ma Liang in a dark prison. He took away his
magic paintbrush. He painted many things made of gold but none of his pictures
came to life. The emperor asked Liang to first paint an island, sea and then a
boat. The emperor and his men got into the boat but Liang painted a strong
wind and big waves. The boat rocked up and down. Liang stopped only when the
emperor promised never to be greedy again.

 Water Cycle

Water goes,
Round and round,
From the sky,
To the ground,
In a cycle,
You can't see,
Water comes to you and me!
Evaporation is a start,
But it's not the only part,
From sea to sky,
Vapour floats,
But leaves enough to float in boats!
In the sky,
Water cools,
Forming clouds,

Like fish form schools,

Condensation makes it dense,
Like dollars have one hundred cents!
Then it falls, precipitation!
It's like group participation...
Rain and hail,
Sleet and snow,
Water falls,
Plants can grow...

Fills up lakes, and streams, and seas,

We can drink it as we please,
Water used to brush our teeth,
15
 Water wets the coral reef!
Water, water, what we need,
We need water to succeed,
And water cycle keeps it fresh,
Water cycle, you're the best!

FOSTERING DAILY JOURNAL WRITING

Journaling can be a useful activity for children. It gives them a private venue
to keep a daily record of their thoughts, feelings, and ideas, and can motivate
children to express themselves more than they otherwise would. However,
children can have short attention spans, and may quickly tire of journaling or
run out of ideas to write about. If you’d like your children to develop a habit of
daily journal writing, plan to provide them with the needed supplies and
encourage them to write through prompts and other fun writing exercises.

1) Provide children with journaling supplies like colour pencil, crayons,

pencils etc. that suit their age. Young children won’t be able to compose
their thoughts in a journal in a traditional sense but will probably be eager
to show you what they have drawn and written in their journal. Allow them
to use invented spellings.
2) Older children will write sentences and use an expansive vocabulary
enriched by experiences and reading of books.

19
3) Explain to older children that their journal is a safe place for
writing. This means that they can write whatever they please, and it will not
be criticized, corrected, or evaluated.
4) A journal is also a great place to encourage older children to try creative
writing. Ask them to write a poem, a short story, or a one-act play.
5) Give children access to fun writing prompts. Children may be unsure of
what to write when you first start teaching them to journal daily. You can
help overcome this inertia by providing them with writing prompts. These
ideas will give them something to write about and help them feel confident
expressing ideas on the page. You could ask children to write 1 or 2 pages
about:

 Something interesting they saw or heard that day

 A favourite family memory
 Their own daily emotions and experiences
 Their favourite book, movie, or TV show

6) Encourage your children to use new vocabulary.

7) Give your child a daily time to journal. Children will be more likely to
remember to write in their journals if you ask them to do it at a consistent
time every day.

8) Encourage children to re-read their own journal entries. This can be a

valuable practice, especially if your children choose to keep a journal of their
personal insights, emotions, and observations. Revisiting previous journal
entries will allow children to see how much their writing has improved over the
months, and also allow them to how they felt about and responded to forgotten
life events.

We are providing a format which can be photocopied and stuck on the pages of
the journal created by your child. The journal can be created by making a
booklet of A4 size papers of around 10 pages. A list of topics are also being
provided or may be your child wants to write on something which he has
20
thought about. Let him fill up the page and get started on writing journals. Let
him do it for a period of ten days or even more if he wants to. Allow him to
enjoy the process and not do more than one topic every day.

  OUTDOOR/TRADITIONAL GAMES

Outdoor games are always fun. Isn’t it?

Sit and discuss with your parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts about their
childhood days. The games they played (traditional). Find out and write about
any 2 traditional games they played. Write the rules to be followed to play
those games and also the steps to play these games.

Do this work on an A-4 size sheet and paste it on a mount board to make a
placard.

Play these games with your friends or cousins.

 FEW THINGS WHICH OUR CHILDREN COULD DO DURING

VACATION
a) Let the children wash their plates after every meal. Children learn
dignity of labour from such activities.
b) Allow your child to play outdoors, get hurt and get dirty. It’s okay for
them to fall down and experience pain once in a while. Comfortable life
within the sofa cushions will make your child lazy.
c) Keep your child away from T.V., mobile phones, computers and other
electronic gadgets. They have their whole life for that.

 MAKE A SMALL PROJECT ON A4 SIZED SLAM SHEETS.

PEOPLE WHO HELP US
