CLASS XII (Science)

Holiday Homework
“Once again, we come to the holiday season, deeply joyous time that each of us observes, in his/her own way, by
doing and enjoying the tasks of his/her choice.”
Everything turns out best for us when we make the best use of our time. Students should utilize their vacation for
some constructive work. They should try to develop the skills of their hobbies now and utilize them later on in a better
way.”Let them learn by self experience and become self learners.” Hence parents are requested to keep track of their
enjoyment and encourage the children to follow the most joyous warm weather activities that can be opportunities for
learning and skill building:-
 Go for morning walk to enjoy fresh and cool morning breeze. Join Yoga and Gym to stay healthy and fit.
 Read good books and English Newspaper daily for keeping yourself updated.
 Help your parents in small household tasks and become their helping hand.
 Inculcate habit of cleanliness to keep your surroundings neat and tidy.
 Practice few activities of Life Skills like button tucking, hand stitching.
NOTE:-
 Marks for subject Enrichment activity for half yearly Exam will be given for your holidays' assignment.
 The school shall remain closed from May 28, 2018 for summer vacation and will reopen on July 2, 2018.
Wishing you all a wonderful and fun filled time ahead!
