See what’s happening: See your parachute descending slowly to the ground, giving your object a safe landing. Your object is pulling down the parachute while the air is making it fly. Hence, you see it coming down slowly instead of rushing down to the ground. For parents: a) Observing is a skill that will help your child to become a more focussed thinker.

But dear children, there is a lot more you can do to make your vacation more interesting and meaningful, along with doing all your heart desires. It will surely prepare you for a better and more fruitful year ahead. A few guidelines for you to be more confident and self-sufficient: 1.

Don’t forget to spend time with your grandparents and help them. v. Plant a tree and nurture it. The earth is a common habitat for all living beings. It is the home of man, birds and animals, vegetation and other creatures. All living beings depend on various resources of the earth for their survival. It is our responsibility to take care of our planet and conserve it for future generations. So let’s include very important 3Rs in our lives. Let’s start thinking about what we REALLY NEED and refuse what we don’t. That way, we can save natural resources, reduce waste, and help the environment 1. REDUCE Reducing waste includes rethinking what we buy and use, and rejecting things we don’t need. For example: try reducing your use of ‘single use’ items such as bottled water and plastic bags, and choose alternatives that can be used again, i.e. reusable water bottles, cloth shopping bags, re-usable shopping bags and lunch boxes. Let’s start with reuseA. Things you have to do daily: Reduce the use of electricity/water. Switch off fans, lights when not in use. Make sure that TV/computers/laptops are not in standby mode. Minimize the use of ACs and also advise your parents to do so. Don’t forget to thank your parents when they do so. Carry your own shopping bags. 2. REUSE Many materials that end up in your bin at home could be reused. Get creative and re-use old tin cans, containers, clothing, building materials or bags. A. Joy Of Sharing: Share your toys with your friends. Give your clothes and storybooks to the less privileged children. B. My Telephone Diary: Make a phone diary using papers from the old notebooks. Decorate your diary with pictures from old wedding cards and greeting cards. Write phone numbers of your parents, grandparents, two neighbours, fire brigade, police station, your family doctor, friends, any one agency where we can send our left over food for the needy etc. Keep this diary handy with you. C . Best Out Of Waste : Watch the programme “Mister Maker” on Discovery Kids Channel and make any one thing using the waste things. 3. RECYCLE It involves the collection, sorting and reprocessing of discarded goods to create the same or a different product. It helps us to protect precious resources and natural environment for future generations. Collage Making: Make a collage with cuttings of bags, tetra packs etc which are having the sign of 3Rs.
