Dear Parents,

We in our school strive to develop in children a broad range of skills, including the problem solving, interpersonal and communication skills that are essential for successful living in a rapidly changing society. We encourage children to take initiative by providing them with material, equipment and time to pursue activities they choose. Children are ‘Learning Sponges’ and have their own ‘Readiness Meter’; so therefore you as parents can facilitate them in exploring their world within and around them. You can make plans and review activities with your children on daily basis.

Summer Holidays are the best time of the year when you get an opportunity to spend maximum time with your child. To beat the summer heat and make these days fun filled we have planned interesting activities which will enhance your child’s creativity.

Summer brings with it the ever smiling sun, scorching heat, ice-cream, shakes and holidays!! Holidays are the time for you to become teachers as well as friends.

SOME POINTERS

Different types of languages are spoken by people from different regions but the most important thing is that, any language, when spoken should be spoken correctly. The two common languages that our children should be able to speak fluently are Hindi and English. Since English is a universal language spoken and understood by people all over the world, we want our children also to be proficient in speaking it and for this we need your full support and cooperation. We would appreciate if you adhere to the following points.

· Speak with your child in English.

· Read out story-books with bold illustrations and after finishing the story discuss it with your child.

· Emphasize more on phonic sounds and encourage Word Building and Picture Talk.

GOOD BYE LITTLE ONES.
