HOLIDAY HOMEWORK (2023-24)

CLASS- VI

SUBJECT- ENGLISH
Dear Students,
Summer brings with it, the ever smiling sun, ice-creams, shakes and holidays!! Holidays are
the time for parents to be teachers and friends. Vacation helps rejuvenate the child. It provides
an opportunity to spend the precious time with them and develop a strong bond. It’s vacation
time again! Some interesting, innovative and creative projects have been planned to enable
you to widen your horizon of learning.
Objective: To know about our cultural heritage by channelizing the knowledge through
students’ point of view.
1. Delhi my dream city,
Full of greenery it looks so very pretty.
It is the heart of our nation,
Lutyens’ beautiful creation.
A city with history so strong,
Where all the cultures belong.
Many a tale it carries in its heart,
It is a marvel of art.

HOP-ON, HOP-OFF DELHI

DELHI, the capital of kingdoms and empires, is currently a
sprawling Delhi with a desirable mix of the past and, therefore,
a gift. It’s an ideal introduction to the composite culture
of associate ancient land. A window to the plaything -that's Asian
nation. Delhi. – It’s maybe the sole town that actually represents
the cultural and non- secular diversity of Asian nation. Delhi has
stood witness to 5000 years of a wonderful, made and turbulent
history.
Plan a tour in a HOHO bus of Delhi Tourism and visit all the
important places of Delhi. Make a tour web of those places on a
sheet and in the center, write a diary entry of that day. (In a lay out
given in the picture). Give a 3Deffect to your presentation.
 Place Place Place Place

Objective: The comics are based on real facts and they aim to critique, revise or contextualize.
2. COMIC STRIP (ART INTEGRATION)
Create your own conversational comic strip about a team of superheroes/ saviour whose job is to
protect planet Earth.
Give a name to your super team.
Give them some special powers.
Mention their enemies.
Through conversation in comic:
Mention the need to conserve and protect plant and animal life on land.
Mention some ways to keep our Environment Litter-Free.

Objective: To learn to modify the sentences with correct usage of adjectives.

3. ADJECTIVE DECK
Adjectives give the reader more specific information about an object’s colour, size, shape and
material. They add flavor to our sentences by making them more meaningful, expressive with
different qualities. Without these, our speech would be bland and boring.

Create a deck of cards with different adjectives written on each. You’ll need some images (pictures
from magazines, travel brochures, newspapers etc.) that can be described by adjectives.
For example-

HINDI:
MATHEMATICS:
Holiday homework is an attempt to enhance children’s imagination. Doing it in the right spirit with
enthusiasm will make it a great learning experience. Holiday is a time to explore the world beyond text
books and mundane theories…there is a mathematician within you. Application of the concept so taught
can be done in an enjoyable manner. Open your wings and explore the world unknown, unseen and
undiscovered…all the best!
General Instructions:
1. Activity 1 – Visit to ‘Museum of Illusion’.
2. Solve Holiday HW worksheet in Mathematics register (give heading SUMMER VACATION HW), no need
to make separate copy or register.
3. All questions are compulsory.
Number the questions in serial order.
PART – I
ACTIVITY 1 – Visit ‘MUSEUM OF ILLUSION’

AIM:

• To transit students preconceived ideas about what they think they see and the reality behind illusions.
• Acquaint learners about the relationship of mathematics with art, science and magic.
 • Enhance learner’s cognitive thinking and keen observation skills.

OBJECTIVES : Students will -

• Seek deeply the exhibits of the museum.

• Analyse the mathematics being used in different exhibits.
• Detect the Correlation between the math, art and science.

ABOUT MUSEUM: It is an innovative, experiential space around

the theme of illusions. Its exhibits are inspired by science, math and
arts, and delivered through modern means. With an emphasis on
educational methods, the Museum creates a game of discovery,
breaking down the usual museum stereotypes.

Optical illusions can be categorized based on the nature of the

difference between objects and percepts. Differences
in intensive properties of targets (i.e. brightness or color), or
differences in extensive properties
(their location, size, orientation or depth) can result in amazing
optical illusions.

INSRUCTIONS :
• Visit to Museum of Illusion and carefully watch each exhibit.
• Take pictures of exhibit and the illusions you experience over there.
• Note that in which illusion and exhibit you find the use of mathematics.
• In Lab Manual, paste pictures of exhibit or illusion which you have taken while your visit and write
what correlation of subjects you find in those exhibit. Also, share your experience in 80-100 words.
