Holiday Homework 2026-27

Dear Students,

June is one of the most awaited times of the year because it brings the joy of holidays. Holidays mean fun, travel, meeting family members, spending quality time with loved ones, and creating beautiful memories together. It is also a wonderful opportunity to discover new interests, learn new skills, and explore your creativity.

Keeping this in mind, your Holiday Homework has been thoughtfully designed to help you develop important life skills such as research, analytical thinking, creativity, critical thinking, and imagination. We encourage you to think beyond textbooks and learn from the world around you.

✨While Enjoying Your Break, Remember to:
  • Develop at least one new skill or hobby.
  • Cultivate the habit of daily reading.
  • Eat healthy food and build strong immunity.
  • Maintain a proper sleep routine.
  • Limit unnecessary screen time and engage in creative activities.
  • Spend quality time with family and friends.
  • Read one book of your choice and write your thoughts about it.
  • Revise all the lessons covered for PA-1 regularly during the vacation.

Use this time to experiment with new ideas, explore your talents, and return to school refreshed, confident, and inspired.

May your holidays be joyful, productive, and filled with meaningful learning experiences.
