How many other birds have you seen? Which ones?

Have you seen a bird’s nest? Where did you see it?

Which is your favourite bird? Can you show your friends in the class how it flies, and what sound it makes?

Guess what this bird is –

‘A crown on the head and coins on the tail,
So many shades of blue from top to tail.’

Clue: It is our national bird.

Do you know of any other bird that makes its nest in a tree trunk like the barbet does?

If there is a nest inside or around your house, look carefully at it. Remember, do not go too near the nest, and do not touch it. If you do, then the bird will not come to the nest again.

Observe the nest for some days and note down the following things:

• Where is the nest made?
• What is the nest made of?
• Is the nest ready or are the birds still making it?
• Can you recognise which bird has made the nest?
• What things does the bird bring to the nest?
• Is there any bird sitting in the nest?
• Do you think there are any eggs in the nest?
• Can you hear any sound like ‘chee chee’ from the nest?
• If there are chicks in the nest, what do the parent birds bring for them to eat?
• How many times in one hour do the birds come to the nest?
• After how many days did the chicks leave the nest?
• Make a picture of the nest in your notebook.

You have seen how birds use many different things to make their nests. Use some of these things and make a nest. Make a small paper bird to put in your nest.

• Make three groups in the class. Each child must draw a picture of an animal and colour it. They should then cut each picture out.
• Children in one group will take the cut-outs of the pictures of animals that live on land. They should then draw soil, grass and some trees on chart paper. Stick the pictures of the land animals at the correct places on the chart.
• The second group will take the cut-outs of the pictures of animals that live in the water. They should then colour a chart paper blue to show water. Then also draw water-plants, stones etc. They should then stick the pictures of the animals that live in water on the chart.
• The third group will take the cut-outs of the pictures of animals that live on trees. One child in the group will draw a big tree on chart paper and colour it. Then all the children in the group must stick their cut-outs of the pictures on the chart paper of their group.
• Put up all the three charts in your class and discuss about them.

Find out about Your Own Teeth and Write.

• Your age:
• How many teeth do you have?
• Have any of your teeth fallen or broken? How many?
• How many new teeth do you have?
• How many of your milk teeth have fallen, but no new teeth have come in their place?

Look at your friend’s teeth. Are there different kinds of teeth? Draw one front tooth and one back tooth in your notebook.

Can you see any difference between these teeth?

If you did not have front teeth (both top and bottom) how would you eat a guava? Act and show how.

You have your front teeth, but no teeth at the back. Someone gives you a roti. Show how would you eat it.

You do not have any teeth in your mouth. What kind of things would you be able to eat?

Draw a picture in your notebook – How would you look if you had no teeth?

Find out from old people who do not have teeth – what are the kind of things that they can not eat?

Draw a picture of a bird commonly seen in your area. Label its body parts also.
