Dear Parents of Grades 3 & 4,
Life needs to be balanced between fun and work. A short break gives a chance for children and parents to relax. During holidays, leisure replaces work as a priority. You are filled with the enthusiasm to explore, travel and learn. Besides relaxing, the children should keep in mind, the execution of the assigned work in a well-planned manner. Motivate them to interact with knowledgeable books that would in turn lead their minds to grow exclusively and in an effective manner.
The last working day for classes K-G5 will be 21.12.18 (Friday) and vacation holidays are from 22.12.2018 to 01.01.2019.The school will re-open on 02.01.2019 (Wednesday).
Please find the suggested activities in this circular which will also be available on the school ERP to engage our children during the vacation.
Wishing to meet you in January after the short break with a broader outlook and positive attitude.
With good wishes,
Team Balsam
