Winter Vacation Time for Fun & Frolic
What do we see when we think of winters?

Snow's soft descent, a winter's tale,

Frosty breath in the crisp, cold gale.
Cozy fires, a warm retreat,
Nature's canvas, a pristine sheet.
Icy beauty, magic spun,
Winter whispers, a tranquil hum.
 Dear Explorers and Parents
The highly anticipated season of the year has finally
arrived – winter! Winter break stands as the most
coveted segment of the school calendar,
synonymous with joy, outdoor activities, and
invaluable family time.
The winter break offers a wonderful opportunity for
leisure, exploration, and bonding. It's a time for
picnics, games, and the discovery of new places.
Most importantly, it's a period dedicated to self-
discovery and quality moments with family.
At DPSG, we firmly believe in the pivotal role that
family plays in a child's development,
alongside the school. Our aim with this
'Project Based Learning' initiative during the
winter holidays is to encourage children to
explore, discover, and connect with themselves
and society, including their immediate
environment. As responsible global citizens,
each of us has a role to play in making the
