“Children spell love…T-I-M-E”
Dr. Anthony P. Witham once said this and he was definitely onto something.
Dear Parent
Spending quality time with children is extremely important for their
development and happiness. The time spent with them needn’t be too elaborate
or long, but it must be “quality”.
As we are starting with the summer vacations, let’s redefine our role as parents
and guide our children in a multitude of ways. Just to help spend some more
quality time with your children, we have planned some exciting activities which
are planned on a common theme this time -“SOLAR SYSTEM”. Theme based
concepts help children assimilate information on one topic through diverse ways.
Spend quality time with your children and let them explore the new way of
integrated learning.
SOME
USEFUL
TIPS
 Take your child for a morning walk. This would give him/her an
opportunity to not just enjoy the fresh breeze but also observe the
things around.
 Encourage your child to read some moral based stories and help
him/her to narrate the story to you in his/her own words.
 Play games with your child - both indoor and outdoor.
 You may also visit some new places. It would be an enjoyable
experience and at the same time would help you in educating your
child with the information related to that place
Dear Dipsites
Enjoy your holidays. Keep yourself busy and happy.
Here are some points that you must remember during
the vacations Take good care of your health by eating nutritious
food and exercising regularly.
 Take enough rest to attain back energy and vitality.
 Drink lots of water and juices to tide over the scorching heat of the
summer months.
 Spend quality time in reading good books, newspapers and magazines.
 Practice daily for a better handwriting.
 Do your worksheets neatly and keep them in a hand-made folder
(made by you). Decorate the folder beautifully. Bring it to the school
with your name and class mentioned on it.
 Try to converse in English with your parents in order to improve your
fluency and confidence.
 Remember that Summer Vacation is the time to learn and enjoy. So,
spend these holidays creating a nurturing and stimulating environment
filled with fun, frolic and learning.

more. Lets take a deep plunge into the magical world of the Sun and its family. So, lets
go........
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Sun
Size: The Sun is wider than 100 Earths.
Temperature: ~27,000,000°F in the center, ~10,000°F at the
surface. So, that’s REALLY hot anywhere on the Sun!
The Sun is made up of gas.
The Sun is a star at the center of our solar system. It gives
us light and heat. The Sun is bigger than any of the planets.

Never look directly at the Sun, because it will hurt your eyes!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Mercury
Size: About 1/3 as wide as the Earth.
Number of moons: 0
Temperature: –279°F to 800 °F. So REALLY cold or REALLY
hot depending on if you’re in the shade or not!
Mercury is a ball of rock.
Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun. Its grey surface
is covered with craters. It would not be very nice to live on
Mercury, because it is either REALLY hot or REALLY cold.

Temperature: –130°F to 136°F. This temperatures can make you
feel cold or hot, but mainly the temperature is great for life here
on Earth!
The Earth is mainly made of rock.
Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It has water on the
surface and air we can breathe. From space, Earth looks like
a blue ball with land that is brown and green and clouds that
are white.

AN ASTRONAUT’S OUTFIT
Dear Kids,
Do you know in order to explore the world of planets and stars, astronauts have to wear
special suits to protect themselves !
In space , there is no oxygen for astronauts and the temperature can vary from freezing
cold to scorching hot. These space suits not only protect the astronauts from these
adverse conditions but they also save them from the small bits of dust and rock which
fly by at great speed. So, come lets explore the astronaut’s attire little more and
answer the questions based on the information given in the picture belowFour lamps are attached to the top of the helmet. They help the astronaut see. This is tool carrier. All of the tools are attached to the suit so that they don’t float away. These tubes are filled with water. They keep the astronaut cool. A camera sends pictures back to the astronauts in the spacecraft.
The helmet is made of clear, strong plastic. Oxygen flows inside of the helmet so that the astronaut can breathe. The backpack holds tanks filled with oxygen. The space suit has 13 layers of material 1. How many layers of material does the space suit have ?
___________________________________________________________
2. How does an astronaut keep cool inside of his or her space suit?

3. There is no oxygen in space. How does an astronaut breathe?

INFOZONE
NASA- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the
agency of the United States Federal Government responsible for the civilian space
program as well as aeronautics and aerospace research. Most US space exploration efforts
have been led by NASA, including the Apollo moon-landing missions.
INDIAN SATELLITES LAUNCHED
 India has launched 83 Indian satellites (as of 28 April 2016) of many types since
its first in 1975.
 Aryabhata was India's first satellite, IRNSS-1D is the only satellite in the
constellation slated to provide navigational services to the region.
 The Bhaskara-I and II were two satellites built by the Indian Space Research
Organisation that formed India's first low orbit Earth Observation Satellite. It
also carried TV and microwave cameras.
INSAT, is a series of multipurpose geo-stationary satellites launched by ISRO to

satisfy the telecommunications, broadcasting, meteorology, and search and
rescue operations.
 Rohini is the name given to a series of satellites launched by the Indian Space
Research Organisation (ISRO).
First Animal to go in Space: Laika was a Soviet (name of the spacecraft) space dog
who became one of the first animals in space, and the one of the first animals in space,
and the first animal to orbit the Earth. Laika, a stray dog from the streets of Moscow,
was selected to be the occupant of the Sovietspacecraft Sputnik 2 that was launched
into outer space on November 3, 1957.
First Indian to go in Space: Rakesh Sharma, AC, Hero of the Soviet Union, (born 13
January 1949) is a former Indian Air Force pilot who flew aboard Soyuz T-11, launched
April 3, 1984, as part of the Inter-cosmos programme. Sharma was the first Indian to
travel in space. However, after this India became the 14th nation to send a man to outer
space.
Means to reach the Space
We need a space shuttle to go into the space. A space shuttle carries people and cargo
into space. Space shuttles can also carry various types of equipments, spacecraft, etc.
The first space shuttle flight was held in 1981. Space shuttles have taken astronauts
into space, launched satellites, completed scientific experiments, fixed other
spacecraft,
Many people mistakenly think that there is no gravity in space. Infact, space has
extremely low gravity, i.e about 0.000001 per cent of the Earth’s gravity. Therefore, it
is said that space has Zero Gravity or more accurately micro-gravity. Due to microgravity, objects are in a state of free-fall and are said to e ‘weightless’.
Any time an astronaut gets out of a vehicle while in space, it is called a spacewalk. A
spacewalk is also called an EVA. EVA stands for extravehicular activity.
The first person to go on a spacewalk was Alexei Leonov. He was from Russia. The first
spacewalk was on March 18, 1965. It was 10 minutes long.
FACTS ABOUT GRAVITY
 Did you know that Gravity/ Gravitation is one of the fundamental forces of the
universe. In everyday use, it describes the forces which cause objects to fall on
the ground.
 “Gravity” keeps Earth and other planets in our solar system in orbit around the
sun. It also keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth.
 Gravity guides the growth of plants and vegetables.
AMAZING FACTS ABOUT SPACE
 In space the skin on your feet peels off!!
 On planet Venus a day is longer than a year.
 One million Earths can fit inside the Sun.
 You become taller in space.
 You can cry in space but your tears don’t fall.
 Footprints and tyre tracks left behind by astronauts on the moon will stay there
forever as there is no wind to blow them away.
 The only planet that rotates on its side like a barrel is Uranus. The only planet
that spins backwards relative to the others is Venus.
 Because of lower gravity, a person who weighs 200 pounds on earth would only
weigh 76 pounds on the surface of Mars.
