08 Jun Year 1 – holiday homework

Over the holidays, year one have been busy researching different weather conditions and seasonal patterns in the UK while also looking at hot and cold regions around the world. The children have created weather reports, weather charts, and have created 3D models of their favourite weather and the weather cycle. The children have also had the opportunity to act as Alexandra’s weather presenter every morning this week to inform their class of the expected weather conditions for the day!

Year 1 Homework

Within Year One, children are given homework on a weekly basis. This will include weekly spellings / words to learn and maths work. Parents are asked to read with their children each night, if possible.

Each piece of homework has its own return-by date. Please see your child’s class teacher for more details.

A piece of Maths and English homework is available for every week within Year One:

Reading and Spelling Workshop:

The below resources are based on word-level work taught during Reading and Spelling Workshop Lessons.  Each week, children are introduced to new ‘sounds’ and then learn how to apply them when reading and writing (by ‘segmenting’ and ‘word building’). Children are also taught ‘Tricky Words’, which they need to memorise or learn ‘by rote’.  Please speak to our Year One teachers for more information about this or how you can help extend your child’s learning further.

According to CBSE, while assigning and preparing homework for the students, it is important to note they are able to develop the skills like relating, thinking, concluding, inferring. Homework should be such that the student neither feel it burdensome nor they lose interest in the subject matter. Moreover it is useful in providing them a happy experience. Homework therefore needs to be thought about and worked upon differently. Emphasis should be given on Vedic mathematics, designing quality homework rather than its quantity. Download NCERT Books and apps based on latest CBSE Syllabus.

Encompassing the aforesaid ideas, the CBSE has brought forth a Manual, “Alternatives to Holiday Homework” for classes VI to VIII. It is collection of ideas transformed into suggestive activities that are creative, interesting, meaningful and interactive, enhancing various skills, directly or indirectly related to subject matter providing students to enhance their learning and gaining knowledge based on NCERT Books following the latest CBSE Syllabus.

A well rounded development of individual knowledge happens not only from textbooks and formal education but more from the learner’s personal experiences, individual inquisitive nature and social surroundings. Homework is an area of importance and to make it more relevant for the NCERT Books classes 6th, 7th and 8th, appropriate strategies and meaningful activities may be suggested to the schools that give more time to child to explore the environment to develop creative thinking.

These activities (like OTBA for class 9 & 11 ) would be so framed that they keep the child interested in subjects and therefore would also help in enhancing the learning power. Homework is one of the areas that need urgent attention. As the students of class VI, VII and VIII develop a certain learning style and want to know and find more and more. Efforts should be made to make homework more creative and interesting so that the students do not feel burdensome while doing the same and the ultimate purpose of providing homework is served.

A survey was conducted through questionnaire prepared by CBSE to collect feedback from parents, teachers, students and other educationists on “Alternatives to Homework at Upper Primary Level” for Class Sixth, Seventh and Eighth so that appropriate strategies and meaningful activities can be designed and suggested to schools. The questions were directed to know the ideal quantity and purpose of the homework, whether homework should be assigned in all the subjects, internet usage should be a part of the homework or not, how homework helps in teaching.

Keeping in view emerging issues, there is a need to think about giving quality homework emphasizing on acquiring applied learning skills. Few points can be kept in mind while designing a quality homework by teachers: 1, Provide students capacity building activities which are followed up and acknowledged like drawing, creative writing, making puzzles, stories, plays, online games, reading online books and craft.

2. Provide them assignment sheets which improve their reading & writing abilities. Homework must enable the student to practice a skill independently. 3. A possible discussion can be held with different children on what they would like to do at home to improve in which ever area they deem necessary. Homework must be designed in a way that maximizes the chances of its completion by the students.

4. Parents should be able to understand the child’s needs and schools suggestions on how to learn mathematics, logical reasoning, etc. by doing puzzles, writing letters, reading to elders from the newspapers, making household lists, recipe making and cooking. 5. Learners who have dyslexia or number difficulty should have practice assignments overcoming their problems.

The child in middle school have a keenness to discover more and prepare for the examination. Learning is about developing new faculties, which become useful as an adult. The years 12 to 15 are years when rules become important, and doing well, excelling are given importance both at home and in the class. As the child grows chronically his/her emotional maturity also grows and there are interests which are beyond just what lessons can give.

The homework assigned should: 1. enhance study habits and practice skills (which learners are able to perform independently) 2. reinforce necessary skills both scholastic and co-scholastic among the learners. 3. enable learners to become independent learners and thinkers and develop among them 21st century skills so that they can participate in Make in India in future. 4. lead to the improvement in the academic achievement of the learner.

5. expand on the existing knowledge of the learners and be a part of the already acquired competencies in the classroom. 6. not put unneeded pressure or stress by including new learning material or difficult material to be worked upon by learners themselves. 7. be CBSE Syllabus based and as per developmental needs of the learners. 8. not require specific resources or technology which is not accessible to all learners. 9. have clearly defined, purposeful, creative and engaging activities.

It is also advised that teachers can refer to Life Skills Manuals, Health Manuals and Environmental Education Manuals which contain age appropriate and interesting activities which can be taken up by the learners individually. These activities can be assigned to learners so as to enhance their life skills, values and make them health conscious.

Homework is needed, and necessary for a teacher to be able to follow up with each child. The correction and feedback on homework is an important input that helps both parents and children to follow up and improve in areas which are needed. The recourse extra classes, can be reduced if the homework is used for learning improvement and acquisition of diverse skills. We are providing a handful help to solve or helping in solving the holiday homework.

What are concepts of the Holiday Homework for Class 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5?

The Holiday Homework 2024-25 for class 1 and Class 2 should be totally creative work only. We should prepare the homework in such a way that student enjoy the work like play. The holiday assignment for class 3, 4 and Class 5 should be totally creative work.

What is Eid al-Fitr? 6 questions about the holiday and how Muslims celebrate it, answered

By Ken Chitwood

Updated on: April 9, 2024 / 8:03 AM EDT / The Conversation

Ken Chitwood  is a senior research fellow, Muslim Philanthropy Initiative at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis and journalist-fellow at the Dornsife Center for Religion and Civic Culture at the  University of Southern California Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences .

Eid al-Fitr, one of Islam's principal festivals, will be celebrated April 9, 2024, according to the Fiqh Council of North America . At the middle of June, Muslims will celebrate Eid al-Adha. Ken Chitwood, a scholar of global Islam, explains the two Islamic festivals.

1. What is Eid?

Eid literally means a "festival" or "feast" in Arabic. There are two major eids in the Islamic calendar per year – Eid al-Fitr earlier in the year and Eid al-Adha later.

Eid al-Fitr is a three-day-long festival and is known as the "Lesser" or "Smaller Eid" when compared to Eid al-Adha, which is four days long and is known as the "Greater Eid."

2. Why is Eid celebrated twice a year?

The two Eids recognize, celebrate and recall two distinct events that are significant to the story of Islam.

Eid al-Fitr means "the feast of breaking the fast." The fast, in this instance, is Ramadan , which recalls the revealing of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad and requires Muslims to fast from sunrise to sundown for a month.

3. How do Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr?

Eid al-Fitr features two to three days of celebrations that include special morning prayers. People greet each other with "Eid Mubarak," meaning "Blessed Eid" and with formal embraces. Sweet dishes are prepared at home and gifts are given to children and to those in need. In addition, Muslims are encouraged to forgive and seek forgiveness. Practices vary from country to country.

In many countries with large Muslim populations, Eid al-Fitr is a national holiday. Schools, offices and businesses are closed so family, friends and neighbors can enjoy the celebrations together. In the U.S. and the U.K., Muslims may request to have the day off from school or work to travel or celebrate with family and friends.

In countries like Egypt and Pakistan, Muslims decorate their homes with lanterns, twinkling lights or flowers. Special food is prepared and friends and family are invited over to celebrate.

In places like Jordan, with its Muslim majority population, the days before Eid al-Fitr can see a rush at local malls and special "Ramadan markets" as people prepare to exchange gifts on Eid al-Fitr.

In Turkey and in places that were once part of the Ottoman-Turkish empire such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Azerbaijan and the Caucasus, it is also known as the, "Lesser Bayram" or "festival" in Turkish.

4. How do Muslims celebrate Eid al-Adha?

The other festival, Eid al-Adha, is the "feast of the sacrifice." It comes at the end of the Hajj , an annual pilgrimage by millions of Muslims to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia that is obligatory once in a lifetime, but only for those with means.

Eid al-Adha recalls the story of how God commanded Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismail as a test of faith. The story, as narrated in the Quran, describes Satan's attempt to tempt Ibrahim so he would disobey God's command. Ibrahim, however, remains unmoved and informs Ismail, who is willing to be sacrificed.

But, just as Ibrahim attempts to kill his son, God intervenes and a ram is sacrificed in place of Ismail. During Eid al-Adha, Muslims slaughter an animal to remember Ibrahim's sacrifice and remind themselves of the need to submit to the will of God.

5. When are they celebrated?

Eid al-Fitr is celebrated on the first day of the 10th month in the Islamic calendar.

Eid al-Adha is celebrated on the 10th day of the final month in the Islamic calendar.

The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, and dates are calculated based on lunar phases. Since the Islamic calendar year is shorter than the solar Gregorian calendar year by 10 to 12 days, the dates for Ramadan and Eid on the Gregorian calendar can vary year by year.

6. What is the spiritual meaning of Eid al-Fitr?

Eid al-Fitr, as it follows the fasting of Ramadan, is also seen as a spiritual celebration of Allah's provision of strength and endurance.

Amid the reflection and rejoicing, Eid al-Fitr is a time for charity, known as Zakat al-Fitr. Eid is meant to be a time of joy and blessing for the entire Muslim community and a time for distributing one's wealth.

Charity to the poor is a highly emphasized value in Islam. The Quran says ,

"Believe in Allah and his messenger, and give charity out of the (substance) that Allah has made you heirs of. For those of you who believe and give charity – for them is a great reward."

Eid Al Adha Predicted Start Date: UAE's Next Public Holiday

As one public holiday in the UAE ends, attention shifts to the anticipated start date of Eid Al Adha , predicted by astronomers.

Read More: When are the Public Holidays in the UAE for 2024?

The Emirates Astronomy Society forecasts that the Day of Arafat, falling on the 9th day of Dhu al-Hijjah in the Islamic lunar calendar, will occur on Sunday, June 16th, followed by the commencement of a three-day public holiday in the UAE for Eid Al Adha.

This alignment with the weekend would grant UAE residents five consecutive days off work if the forecast holds true.

Eid Al Adha itself typically falls on the third day of Hajj, signifying a time of communal celebration.

Last year, the UAE enjoyed a six-day long weekend during Eid Al Adha.

Regarding the upcoming holiday, UAE residents may potentially relish in a five-day public holiday from Monday, June 17th, to Wednesday, June 19th, with a return to work for those with a Saturday-Sunday weekend scheduled for Thursday, June 20th. However, the confirmation of dates hinges on the sighting of the moon.

For those eager to maximize their time off, planning ahead by taking Thursday, June 20th, and Friday, June 21st, off would yield a total of nine days of holiday.

Given that the Islamic Calendar operates on lunar months, confirmation of these dates awaits the sighting of the moon, with official announcements from UAE authorities expected closer to the time.

Giants 7-round NFL mock draft: Can NY trade up for a QB, or will it have to ‘settle’ for WR?

Giants general manager Joe Schoen has maintained that he wants to build the team through the NFL Draft . There may not be a bigger piece added to the foundation than this year’s top selection, as the Giants are in prime position to add a quarterback or an elite wide receiver with the No. 6 pick.

So what will Schoen do at No. 6 , and how will he supplement the roster with his five other picks? Here’s a shot at projecting what could happen in my first — and only — seven-round Giants-only mock draft of the offseason.

Giants NFL Draft poll: What do you think they should do at No. 6?

These picks were made based on what I think Schoen will do — I’ll publish my ideal draft plan next week. And these picks were made based on who was available in a Pro Football Network mock draft simulation:

Round 1, pick No. 6: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

The first five picks were USC quarterback Caleb Williams, North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye, LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels, Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and Notre Dame tackle Joe Alt. That’s a realistic scenario if there are no trades in the top five, which was the case in this simulation.

The decision facing Schoen here would be Michigan quarterback JJ McCarthy or a stud wide receiver — Nabers or Washington ’s Rome Odunze. It’s impossible to ignore the amount of work the Giants have done on quarterbacks leading up to the draft, and I believe they’ll try to trade up to land Maye. But I couldn’t get up to No. 2 pick to take Maye in this simulation.

I’m not convinced the Giants love McCarthy enough to take him over one of the wide receivers. The Giants have been searching for a No. 1 wide receiver since trading Odell Beckham Jr. in 2019. Nabers and Odunze both fit that bill, with Nabers getting the edge because his ability to create separation and explosive plays is coveted by coach Brian Daboll.

It would be rough not to be able to land a quarterback, but the Giants don’t need to look far into their past to see the downside of forcing a QB with the sixth pick. Nabers is a game-changing talent who would make an immediate impact for Schoen and Daboll in a pivotal season.

Round 2, pick No. 47: Ruke Orhorhoro, DT, Clemson

If the Giants don’t land a quarterback in the top six , I expect them to try to trade back into the first round for a shot at Washington’s Michael Penix or Oregon’s Bo Nix. But I struck out in trade attempts with teams late in the first round, which demonstrates the risk of this approach if the Giants are determined to get a quarterback.

Nix went 23rd to the Vikings and Penix went 28th to the Raiders , who traded with the Bills . The virtual Bills preferred the Raiders’ offer of a second-round pick (No. 44), a fifth-round pick (No. 148) and a 2025 second-round pick over the Giants’ offer of a second-round pick (No. 47), a fourth-round pick (No. 107) and a 2025 second-round pick.

With quarterback out of the equation, need aligned with value on Orhorhoro. The Giants are thin on the defensive line, so it’s fitting to use the pick acquired in the Leonard Williams trade on a potential replacement. The 6-foot-4, 294-pound Orhorhoro has the versatility to play multiple spots on the defensive line and could be penciled in as a Day 1 starter alongside Dexter Lawrence.

Round 3, pick No. 70: Andru Phillips, CB, Kentucky

The Giants desperately need a cornerback, but none are in the mix at No. 6, and the value didn’t align in the second round. Landing Phillips in the third round would be a better fit.

The Giants reportedly hosted Phillips for a pre-draft visit, which has been a tell of Schoen’s interest in mid-round picks during his first two drafts. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Phillips doesn’t fit the size prototype of corners previously drafted by Schoen, but it’s important to remember the defensive scheme shift under new coordinator Shane Bowen. The Titans didn’t prioritize length at corner during Bowen’s time as DC.

Phillips is a willing tackler, which is a prerequisite for corners in Bowen’s defense. And Phillips can play outside or in the slot, which could help him find immediate playing time amid an unsettled secondary.

Round 4, pick No. 107: Theo Johnson, TE, Penn State

Johnson is another mid-round prospect who reportedly visited the Giants, so there’s clearly some interest. That makes sense considering Darren Waller ’s continued uncertainty about his future.

Waller has said that the team needs to operate like he won’t be back, so that means adding a tight end in the draft. Even if Waller returns, the Giants need to plan for the future at the position. The 6-foot-6, 259-pound Johnson has the athletic tools to develop into a pass-catching complement to the Giants’ stable of blocking tight ends.

Round 5, pick No. 166: Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville

It will be a long wait after the Giants’ fourth-round pick, as they swapped fifth-round picks with the Panthers in the Brian Burns trade. That dropped the Giants from No. 141 to No. 166. The Giants used a fifth-round pick on running back Eric Gray last year, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if they take another swing at the position on Day 3 after letting Saquon Barkley leave in free agency.

Guerendo would be a dice roll on traits, as he endured an injury-plagued college career and was never a feature back. But the 6-foot, 221-pounder ran a 4.33-second 40-yard dash, which could add a big-play element to a running back committee. That speed could also earn Guerendo an immediate role as a kick returner .

Did Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs deals signal change in way NFL values RBs?

Round 6, pick No. 183: Mohamed Kamara, Edge, Colorado State

This stage of the draft is all about taking the best player available. Kamara was rated higher than any of the safeties available, although that position is a glaring need. But the Giants can sign a veteran safety after the draft. This pick is better used on a productive pass rusher who could upgrade the Giants’ depth at that position. This is the Giants’ final pick because they traded their seventh-rounder for linebacker Isaiah Simmons last August.

Final draft card

First round: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU Second round: Ruke Orhorhoro, DT, Clemson Third round: Andru Phillips, CB, Kentucky Fourth round: Theo Johnson, TE, Penn State Fifth round: Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville Sixth round: Mohamed Kamara, Edge, Colorado State
