Happening Break!!”
SUMMER - SoooooMerry………………
Oh! What a relief to have done with the final exams! There have been lot of
speculations, predictions and analysis about this summer’s temperature and water
crisis. With the rising mercury the forecast of soaring temperature may turn true. So,
Children don’t go out and wander during the noon. Prefer playing all your outdoor
games in the mornings between 7-9 a.m. Now, how to beat the heat and yet engage
yourself in interesting activities? Curious to know…………? Yes! This holidays we have
got a bundle of brain raking, mind blowing, creative and fun filled activities to keep
you busy during the peak hours of high degree i.e., in the afternoons! Firstly, a few
COOL tips to enjoy your summer holidays!
 Wear cottons  Drink lots of water

 Prefer tender coconuts to cool drinks
 Eat all the seasonal fruits and relish them.
Guess what? We have decided to do away with the holiday

homework this year too.
YES! A holiday is supposed to be a break from studies, explanations and
completing tasks. But are holidays supposed to make us irresponsible
kids?So we're going to take up certain responsibilities and also enjoy our
holidays with our families.
1. READ BOOKS in ENGLISH and TELUGU :Select books of your

level. Read them well. Books are your best friends. List out the
books you have read in your scrap books.
MONTESSORI SCHOOL ALAMPUR

2. IMPROVE YOUR WRITING :Write 1 page of Hindi and 1 page
of English every alternate day, and when you're back to school
after the holidays, your handwriting will be the envy of your
classmates!
We would love to see your writing practice notebook
when you come back.
3. WALK 2GETHER :Go for walks with the family. You will realize
you have 2 of God's greatest gifts…. NATURE and your FAMILY.
Do not forget to thank GOD for these gifts.
4. CULTIVATE MANNERS :Remember the 4 magic

words? PLEASE, THANKYOU, SORRY and EXCUSEME.
Make these a part of your personality.
5. PLAY OUTDOOR GAMES :Computer games are good.

They sharpen your intellect, but what about the rest of
yourbody?You do need some exercise, don't you?
Go cycling, play badminton, cricket, kho-kho, catch, hide
n' seek …… anything that will make you run every evening.
6. CARE AND CONCERN :This is your chance to look after your parents,
grandparents, elders and even your younger brothers and sisters. You can surely
be of some help around the house.
7. REVISE all work done in class, in English, Hindi, Sciences and EVS. Practice
Math and learn your tables.
8. This Holiday Homework is an Internal Assessment. 15 marks will be awarded

if it is done carefully, neatly and completely. These marks will be added to the
first unit test marks in the next year. So take care to complete all the tasks with
good concentration.

DISASTER CAUSED BY HUMAN ERROR
Officials sacked after deadly china train collision by Stephen Mc Donell.
In April 2008, two trains collided in Jinan in China, killing 70 people and injuring
over 400. A preliminary investigation of the train collision showed that it was
caused by human error.
Two Chinese railway officials were sacked following the accident. The Director and
party secretary of Jinan Railway Bureau was also under investigation for their
handling of the local railways.
Find about any similar tragedy that has happened in India recently. Write a
newspaper report describing the accident, the causes and precautions which
should be taken to prevent a repeat occurrence of a similar tragedy.

V. Identify a human – made disaster that affected your area (or your state) in
recent past and write in detail about the disaster, its causes, its effects and

to include details about the following in your project:
 The nature of the disaster
 Where and when it happened?
 Who were the victims
 What actions were taken to mitigate the impact of the disaster
 How and why (the causes and the sequence of events)
 What precautionary actions are being considered?
 What do you think we can do to prevent the recurrence of the same? After all
human-made disasters are preventable, unlike natural disasters.
