THEME: SPACE ADVENTURE
THE PLANETS IN THEIR GALAXY,
BRIGHTLY DOTTED STARS I SEE.
IN A PATTERN ONE BY ONE,
REVOLVING FAST AROUND THE SUN.
WHILE THE EARTH IS SPINNING,
I STAY FIRMLY ON THE GROUND
GRAVITY KEEPS ME IN PLACE,
AS I SPIN AROUND IN SPACE.
Dear Students
There’s a lot of talk in the green scene about why there’s
only one Earth and we need to take care of it. But it’s
captivating to look beyond our own small, blue planet
and survey the rest of the solar system to gain a further
appreciation of our universe. Learning about the solar
system can allow everyone, especially our children, to
gain a greater appreciation for the fragility of Mother
Earth. Knowing why our planet is extra special and how
we can protect that uniqueness helps keep the planet
safe and healthy for the generations to live in. Besides,
learning about space is fun and interactive for the kids.
So, when you’re outside at night with your kids, look up!
Check out the stars and the moon, and see if you can
point out Venus or Mars. You don’t need a telescope. You
can use binoculars. While you’re looking at the sky, talk
about light pollution on the horizon.
So, the summers are here and to keep the students
engaged, we have compiled a set of fun-based activities to
enhance or foster the varied skills in the Summer Vacation.
You may help your child to complete the home-work.
HAPPY SUMMERS
Be a Space Ranger

through this exciting poem.
(Read and Enjoy)
If I had a pair of wings, with which to fly,
I’d soar straight away, up into the sky.
I’d carry a brush,
And paints in colours bright,
So I could paint
Every planet in sight!
I’d paint them orange
And yellow and green –
They’ve be the prettiest
You’ve ever seen!
I’d paint galaxy in the sky
Every single day,
So, I can watch them
When I work and play.
And when the moon and
Stars come out at night –
Perhaps I’ll paint them too,
For my delight!

चांद का आकार बदलता
रहता है।
कभी-कभी बा रश के समय
बा रश के बाद जब सूरज नकलता है। सूरज दखाई नह ं दे ता।
तब आसमान म इं धनष

चांद के पास खुद क रोशनी नह ं होती। सूरज
क रोशनी से दखाई दे ता है। सूरज म बहुत गम होती है।
तारे बड़े होते ह ले कन बहुत दरू होने के
कारण हम छोटे दखाई दे ते ह।
सूरज सुबह पूव दशा म उगता
है और शाम को पि चम दशा म
हम धरती पर रहते ह और धरती अंडाकार है। छप जाता है।
