Poonam's Day out

Ma, please let me go to school today, I have been at home for the past two days. I am getting bored – said Poonam. But you still have fever. Go outside and lie down on the cot – replied Ma. Poonam fell asleep on the cot. Suddenly, something fell on her face. Poonam woke up at once and touched her cheek. Oh no, whose mischief is this? Is it the crow’s or the pigeon’s? It seems it’s the crow's.

Children learn a lot from people and things in their environment. Through this lesson children should be given an opportunity to observe nature — not just sit in the class and read their lesson.

           Animals live in different places. Some animals live in the trees, some in water. Some live on land, some live under the ground and some fly in the sky. Some animals even live in our houses. Children love to look at the colours, shapes and movement of animals and listen to their sounds. They enjoy imitating them too. Looking at the diversity in the animal world and putting them under different groups is the beginning of classification.

Who am I?

- ​​​​​​Banana is what I love eating, I spend my time jumping and leaping.

- On the walls, webs I weave, Where insects stick and cannot leave.

- I remain awake the whole night, And go to sleep in broad daylight.

- Croak, croak, croak is my sound, In water or on land I am found.
