Dear Children

‘Exciting time is here again! It’s time

for Summer Vacation and fun filled

activities’.

Summer Vacation is the best and

fruitful time for learning and for

nurturing creativity.

A holiday is supposed to be a break

from studies, explanations and

completing tasks. But are holidays

supposed to make us irresponsible kids? No, So we’re going to take up certain responsibilities

and also enjoy our holidays with our families

1. Wake up early. Nothing eats away at summer break like moping around beneath the covers.

Decide the previous day when you will get out of bed, then make sure follow through.

2. Maintain good health and hygiene. Brush your teeth and bathe often. Make sure to use a

sunblock. Summer is a great time to get in shape, or stay in shape. Consider joining a summer

sport, or at the very least get outside and have fun every day.

3. Study. Particularly if you are a secondary or Sr. Secondary student, studying remains

essential even though the school year is in recess. Look over last year's notes, or do some

research into what next year's courses have in store. When school resumes, you`ll be grateful

that your academic knowledge and skills have not deteriorated. Do your summer assignments

in a timely manner and review your notes. Most of the time, the first few weeks of school will

be quite a surprise, as your brain has seemingly turned to mush and you have forgotten how to

do even the simplest assignments. Keep your brain active, read for school or pleasure,

research your own interests, or even just get into crossword puzzles.

4. Follow a routine. However loose, the structure will both motivate you and keep hours spent

'doing nothing' to a minimum.

5. Join a volunteer group of some sort. This activity will make you stay in contact with friends,

have a great sense of accomplishment, stay active, and even help others!

6. Go to a camp and learn something new. If you have always loved basketball, why not try

swimming, rock climbing, or even art as a summer camp? If you love languages, why not try

learning sign language? Learn to write, draw, bind books, make photo albums, knit ... the list

goes on and on. Try something different that you know nothing whatsoever about, and you

will gain a new skill and possibly find a lifelong love. Another upside is that you have a lot of

time to practice and put your skill to use! If nothing seems right, then simply join your school

camps and activities.

7. Stay active in your society. Meet up with friends and go to social gatherings.

Have a happening holiday and come

back energized.

CBSE ANNUAL PROJECT

Session 2015 – 2016

Class: XII Subject: History

Dear Students,

You all are aware that, CBSE has decided to introduce project work in history for classes XI and

XII since 2013-14 as a part of regular studies in classroom, as project work gives students an

opportunity to develop higher cognitive skills.

It carries 20 marks in Annual Exam.

As per our discussions in the class, we have decided to take Buddhism and its spread as our

project area. During summer vacations you need to collect as much as information possible on

this topic.

We have already discussed the methodology and responsibility areas of the project.

Vipul and Anurag will work on PPT, Urooj will write the Project Report and preparation of

Charts will be done by all three.

At the time of Viva, Presentation will be done by all three students; therefore you all need to

participate actively in research.

For details of CBSE Project refer following site:

http://cbseacademic.in/web_material/Circulars/2013/16_Project_Work_History_XII.pdf

All the Best!!!
