I climbed up  on the merry-go-round,

And it went round and round.


I climbed up on a big brown horse,

And it went upand down.


Around and round

I sat high up

On a big brown horse

And rode around

On the merry-go-round

I rode around


On the merry-go-round

Around And  round And Round....

A girl sitting on a horse like swing, which goes round and round.

“Can you draw a circle, Mohini?”

‘’Yes I can”.

Soon Mohini drew a circle .

A little girl and her grandmother are drawing circles on papers.

“Now I’ll draw a ball.”

Grandmother drew three lines on the circle.Mohini drew three lines on her circle.

It really looked like a ball.

“Now let’s draw  a balloon.”

A little girl and her grandmother are drawing balloons on papers.

Grandmother added a zig-zag line to the circle.

"Oh! It really looks like a balloon." Mohini clapped with joy.

 Mohini drew many circles— big and small circles, red, blue, green and yellow circles. She also added zig-zag lines to these.

A little girl showing the balloon she drew on paper.

And now there were many balloons.

"Can you draw something else with a circle?" asked Grandmother.

  The little girl with many balloons.

"Yes," said Mohini. She drew a wheel, a moon, a sun, a rabbit and her own face.

The little girl has drawn her face on paper and she is showing it.

Teacher's Pages UNIT  5

 Activities now have more to do with what the children like to do. You can try this:

  • Make the children sit in a circle. Ask a child to start counting from number 1. The child sitting next to him/her continues with number 2 and so on. The child who has to say number 5 or 10 says chup and the next child starts with number 1 again.
  • Draw a circle on the floor with a piece of chalk. Let the children walk along the drawn line. Ask them to hold a book/any object in one hand and walk along the line. Talk to them about balancing things. Ask them if they feel giddy on a merry-go-round.

  • Develop listening skills
  • The children can be taken outdoors during the break and allowed to eat their snacks there. Let them talk to each other about the different tastes of foods. Ask children to speak to the point and take turns. Also inculcate in them a habit of listening when others speak.

  • Develop pronunciation
  • Read the following words and say aloud with the children:

    around        bound             brown        down

    found              ground        sound

  • Exposure to language
  • Display the following sight words in the classroom and let the children read them aloud.

     

    Circle    line   oval          square     triangle       zig-zag

  • Develop writing skills / fine motor coordination
    1. Write the letters from a to q on the blackboard. Let the children read and write from the blackboard and the picture dictionary. Children should not be forced or pressurised to recognise words or letters. This can be done through pictures or actions. Use Activity Sheets and a notebook to further encourage the patterns as on pages 55, 58, 59, 60 and 61, and any extra exercises that the children want to do.
    2. Pour water from one container to another.

  • Raising awareness
  • Tell the class that we must cover our food from flies.
