HOLIDAY

HOMEWORK
CLASS VII (2024 - 25)
Dear Students

In the realm of rest and play,

Learning thrives in its own way.
With each endeavour and every quest,
May growth and discovery be at its best…

The summer vacation brings with it ample opportunities to engage in

various enriching activities. To help you stay organized and focused during
this time, we have outlined a few engaging and interesting research-based
tasks and activities for you.

Consider the following advice for the timely completion of your assigned
work:

Organize Your Time: Before embarking on your holiday tasks, plan your
days. Dedicate specific time for study, assignments, and unwinding.
Keep a Steady Pace: Stick to a consistent study schedule during the
break to avoid procrastination and stay aligned with your objectives.
Rest and Recharge: Don’t forget to take regular breaks to refresh
yourself. Short intervals of rest can rejuvenate your mind for better
focus.
Ditch your Gadgets: Set limits on screen time not just for yourself but
for the entire family. Establish a household rule that says gadgets
need to be shut off at certain times.
Learn a New Skill: Learn a new skill, such as cooking, coding,
photography, or a new language.

The attached Holiday Homework document contains all the relevant details
pertaining to the tasks, links of the online resources to be referred to, and
the modes of submission. A journey of discovery awaits as you delve into
these assignments.

Enjoy your break and remember to balance your academic pursuits with
plenty of rest and relaxation.
 General Activities for Holiday Homework

Bonafide Bookworms!

During the Summer Break, select any one book from the following four, and prepare a book
review on the same.

a) Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

b) The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill
c) Room on the Roof by Ruskin Bond

Here are some sample questions that can help you think critically about the book:

1. Main Idea of the Book: What’s the big idea or main point the book is trying to make?
What did the book manage to do? Is the main idea easy to find and is it backed up by
the research?
2. Subject of the Book: What’s the book all about? Is it explained well? Does the author
talk about everything needed to really cover the topic? Is everything presented fairly, or
can you tell if the author prefers one side over another?
3. Your Learning: How did the book help you understand the topic it’s about? Would you
tell other people to read it? Why or why not?

Chronicle Your Thoughts!

Create a routine of reading newspaper daily.

Maintain a newspaper scrapbook by putting together interesting articles, creative
advertisements, comic strip series, and standalone photos published in the newspaper.

including its name, source (plant /animal/man-made),
relevance to specific regions and its purpose (e.g., clothing
, bags ,mats )
Document the properties of each fabric (strength,
durability, water absorption etc.) on an A4 sheet to be
kept it in the created folder.
Create a folder using A3 sheet and decorate the cover with
the collected fabric pieces by arranging them aesthetically.
 Each learner will be able to
Gain a practical understanding of how plants use sunlight to
produce food and oxygen.
