Every year winter comes and the winter goes but what stays is the memories,

knowledge and the learning which your child acquires within a time frame of three

months which he entirely spends out with his family. So family is the first social

institution wherein a child is shaped out. This winter make a best use of the holidays

to furnish your child‟s capabilities and follow the assignments and tasks stated below

as a winter work for your child.

Language development:

Language is partly innate and partly learned as children interact with other

people and environment. Help your children to learn better language by

following methods:



Improve their listening skills:

Initiate a conversation with your child taking up any topic in the

surroundings.

Explain some stories like Greedy dog, thirsty crow, the hen that laid

golden eggs, unity is strength etc and evaluate their morals.

Ask questions at the end of the story telling phase to judge his presence of

mind while listening to it.

Improve their speaking skills

Give your child an environment where he can put his feelings into

correct words. Some children tend to develop language and speak in

spurts while others show more slow and steady growth. So make your

child acquaint with the following words, explain their meaning and ask

him to speak them out whenever required.

Action words: eat, drink, go, stop, run, walk, catch, blow, cry, throw,

swing, colour, draw, smile, dance

Location words: up, down, hot, cold, loud, quiet, dirty, clean, wet, soft,

tasty, boring

In addition to these focus on the most widely spoken words like more, please, thank you,

hi/help, bye, again, sorry, yes, no, okay, good-bye. Give your child a flexible and humorous

environment where he would speak with ease without stammering.

Improve their reading skills

Recognition of words is an important aspect of language learning.

Make your child to read the words and alphabets from the daily

newspapers, candy wrappers, eatable packagings etc so as to visualize

his reading skills.

Writing skills

Handwriting is an important part of writing skill. A good handwriting is an

asset which a child acquires after practicing. Make your child to write one

page daily.



Recreation time

Do not bore your children into books for whole day. Give his some

time to play and watch out cartoons and good movies which will add to

his knowledge of quest and learning.

Maintain a sketch book and ask your child to draw a simple object

daily and colour it.

Other important guidelines and assignments

o Raise your childs morality by making him understand the

values of respect, unity and harmony. Ask your child to

develop a habit of greeting people with „Asalamualaikum‟ and

good morning/afternoon/evening/night at the appropriate times.

o Give him/her religious teachings to enhance his values and

develop a habit of offering the salah 5 times a day.

o Complete the following project works:

Give a description of your favourite Kashmiri politician depicting the

reason of your favouritism in him and what he has done for the

Kashmiri people in his entire career.

Make a model of digestive system.

called the scale in a map. All maps have a scale in one corner. The scale

helps to measure actual distance between any two places.

2. Temperate zone

3. Frigid zone

c. Why is there a decrease in temperature with increase in distance from the

equator? Explain.

i. There is a decrease in temperature with the increase in distance from

the equator because the rays of the sun fall directly on the equator and

are spread over a smaller area. This direct heat near the equator makes

the region the hottest in the world. But as we move away from the

equator towards the poles, the sun‟s rays become slanting spreading

over a wider area. These areas are therefore cooler.

d. How does distance from the sea decide the climate of a place?

i. The distance from the sea decides the climate of a place. Places near

the sea have moderate climate but places far away from the sea are

very cold in winter and very hot in summer. This is because land gets

heated faster and loses heat faster than water.

e. What is an ocean current? Give an example to explain the effect of ocean

currents on a place.

i. An ocean current is a continuous directed movement of ocean water

caused due to forces acting upon the water such as the earth‟s rotation,

wind, temperature etc. The Gulf stream is a warm ocean current which

makes north-west Europe much more temperate than any other region

at the same latitude.

f. What is global warming?

i. Global warming is an average increase in the earth‟s temperature,

which is the cause of changes in climate. It is a result of the Green



House Effect caused due to an increase in the level of certain gases like

CO2 and water vapour in the atmosphere, which trap more energy of

the sun than required.
