SUMMER HOLIDAY HOMEWORK CLASS 1 WEEK 5 (2020-2021)

Dear students,

For your last assignment for the summer holiday.

Let's make a BOOKMARK.

You must be wondering, what is a bookmark??

A bookmark is a marker, made from paper, chart paper, cardboard, fabric or leather. This "marker" helps a reader mark the page where they pause reading their book for the day. Placing this bookmark on that page, helps them easily return to it when they wish to continue reading it. 

Refer to the images below for an example of what a bookmark looks like and how it is used :

Following are images of some of the bookmarks students from class 2 have made, you can use these as an inspiration as well. 

YOUR ASSIGNMENT FOR THIS WEEK IS:

To make a BEAUTIFUL BOOKMARK. The bookmark should be made from a thick paper, so that it is sturdy and durable because you will continue to use this bookmark in your Library class once the schools reopen.

The bookmark can have any drawing that you wish to make. You could draw birds, flowers, candies, butterflies, anything that you like!!!

I also understand that at this moment, a lot of the students might not have chart paper or other arts and craft supplies available at home. If that is the case, it is not an issue at all. This bookmark can be made as and when the markets reopen and your parents are able to source the materials for you.
