SUMMER HOLIDAY ASSIGNMENT
TOPIC-Healthy lifestyle
Dear children
Summer vacation is the best and most fruitful time for learning and nurturing creativity.
Although we cannot move out freely due to covid-19 but it is time to inculcate healthy
lifestyle habits among ourselves, because it is a need of the hour.
Let us start our work with brain exercise i.e reading
Many years ago everyone was strong and healthy. They ate a very varied diet, and especially loved fruits, vegetables,
and fish. Everyone did exercise daily and enjoyed themselves playing and leaping about. The Earth was the healthiest
place you could imagine, and it was clear that both adults and children were full of joy and good moods. All that
made the dark witches furious. They only ever wanted was to harm and create problems for people. The worst of all
of these witches were Sour-faced; she was evil, and could be relied on to come up with the nastiest ideas. She
suggested that all the witches must combine their energies to invent a potion which would take away people's desire
to live happily. So, one night, all the witches gathered down in the swampy forest and worked together on that evil
spell. The spell was so powerful, and would need so much energy to cast, that when one of the witches got one of
the words wrong, there was a huge explosion. So big was the explosion, that it completely destroyed the forest.
It turned all those evil witches into tiny little creatures, like germs, and left them trapped in a green liquid inside a
small glass bottle, which lay lost in the swamp. They were trapped there for centuries, until one day a little boy found
the bottle. Thinking it contained some kind of soft drink, he drank the liquid. The evil, microscopic witches took
advantage of this situation, and even though they were tiny and couldn’t hurt anyone, they soon learned to change
the little boy’s likes and dislikes in order to get him to do what they wanted. In a few days, a funny feeling in his
mouth and tongue meant the boy no longer wanted to eat vegetables, fruits or fish. All he wanted to do was eat ice
creams, pizza, burgers and candy. Then nibbling feeling all over his body meant he no longer enjoyed playing and
running about with his friends. All that stuff tired him out, he now just wanted to stay in the house, sitting or lying
about. So, his life got more and more boring, he started feeling ill and before long he had no desire to do anything.
The evil potion had worked. And the worst thing of all was that the witches learned to jump from one person to
another, like a virus. They managed to turn the influence of the potion into the most contagious of diseases.
It was a long while before with the help of his microscope, Doctor Fitton–Helthie discovered that the little witches
were causing all this disease. There was no vaccine or cough mixture to get rid of them, but the good doctor
discovered that the witches could not stand joy and good humour. It turned that the best cure was to make a strong
effort to live a healthy, joyful and happy life. When a person became healthy, the witches would leave the body as
they could, riding off on a sneeze.
The remedy was not pills or injections, but just a little bit of effort to eat some fruits, vegetables, fishes and to do
exercises. Whoever came to see Doctor Fitton- Helthie, and took his advice, ended up totally well, being cured of
the life disease.

Comprehension Passage
Hello, I am Manav. I am 12 years old and will tell you about my diet.
There are many fast food restaurants in my town. Lots of people eat fast food, but I think it isn’t healthy. They eat
this food because it’s tasty, but everybody can have tasty meal at home.
The only problem is that buying fresh product and cooking them takes time. And people prefer to spend time doing
other activities such as watching films, meeting friends, walking in the park etc.
I also like to do these activities but I am very careful with my diet. Fresh fruits and vegetables always give me energy
for the day. I like milk, eggs and mashed potatoes. Fried potatoes are nice but unhealthy, like all fried foods. My
favourite meal is fish. And for dessert I’m afraid I eat too many sweet things like chocolate, candies, cakes etc.
I. Now answer the following questions –
Q1. What does Manav think about fast food?
Q2. Why do people eat fast food?
Q3. What other activities people like to instead of cooking?

Fruits and vegetables promote good health,
It's the most important wealth.
Vitamins and minerals and fibre we need,
Results are in, we've all agreed.
Fruits and vegetables prevent diseases,
Let's minimize those salty cheeses.
Range of colours should be wide,
Fresh are better, than frozen or dried.
Fruits and vegetables, manage our weight,
Healthy calories, on a white plate.
They are natural, they'll keep us going,
A healthy life starts with knowing.

हर घर में यही नारा है ,
कोरोना को हराना है ,
इसने कैसा चक्कर चलाया,
बड़े –बड़ो को घर मे बैठाया
अब इसको भी भागना है,
कोरोना को हराना है |
मास्क सही से लगाना है ,
हाथों को भी धोना है ,
पौष्टिक भोजन की मदद से ,
स्वस्थ शरीर बनाना है ,
घर मे सुरक्षित रहकर हमें ,
कोरोना को हराना है |
MATHS HEALTH IS WEALTH
Children do you know, what are calories? Why do we need calories?
Your body needs calories just to operate — to keep your heart beating and your lungs breathing. As a kid, your body
also needs calories and nutrients from a variety of foods to grow and develop. And you burn off
some calories without even thinking about it — by walking your dog or making your bed.
Observe the above given chart and answer the following questions:-
Q1) How many calories does your family need as a whole per day and in a week?
Q2) Find out how much sugar and salt your family would need per day and in a week?
Note: One Week = 7 Days
Q3) What will happen if you eat too much salty and sugary food?
Write the information in the following tabular form.
S. Name of the Mother Father Children Total family members
N Nutrition needs per needs per need per needs per day
day day day
1 Calories
2 Sugar

Eating a healthy diet may not prevent every disease, but it gives you the best defence to live a long and healthy life.
Many a times, we eat to please our taste buds, but remain quite unaware about the health hazards that this type of
eating habit might pose. Every nutrient has their own individual roles to play in the physical and mental development
for our body.
Now let us understand the importance of eating healthy food by making a collage on
”My Favourite Cuisine and its Nutritive Value”
You are required to make a collage on A3 size sheet as per the guidelines mentioned below.
Guidelines:
On A3 size sheet
a) Paste a picture of your favourite cuisine
b) Write a recipe of that dish and ingredients name
c) Make a table of nutrition facts for that dish.
Decorate the collage using colourful boundaries, decorative material, colours and sparkle pens.
