With the help of your parents and teachers, explore the names of the months in the Hindu/Islamic/Sikh or any other calendar of your community.
1. Find out when the year begins in each of these calendars.

3. Identify the months from the Hindu/Islamic/Sikh or any other calendar in which some of the important festivals of the community fall.
4. Identify the dates of the new moon and full moon in your community’s
calendar every month. Do you notice any pattern?
5. How are the full moon or new moon days named in your community’s
calendar?
Note for Teacher: Students may be asked to collect wrappers of different items and make a table of expiry periods for them.
How many hours in a day?
Look at the picture below. It shows the time spent on different activities
by a doctor. Write the number of hours spent on each activity in the space provided. Then, find the total number of hours between 6 o’clock morning to 6 o’clock evening and 6 o’clock morning of the next day.
The total number of hours is ________.
Note for Teacher: Help the children count the duration of the activities in the picture given above and find the total number of hours in a day.
In both the pictures we see 8:00 on the clock. But one is morning and the other is night time. We add AM and PM to show this difference.
8:00 AM
8:00 PM
Digital clocks help us read the time more clearly.
08:00
20:00
Read the following table and see how we read and write time using AM/PM and the digital clock. Discuss what you notice about the two different ways.
Note for Teacher: Help children understand the difference between AM and PM and how it eases communication about time among people. You may seek
children’s routine experiences and associate them with AM and PM. You may draw their attention to the 24-hour clock and how it shows time and make children practice reading and writing it.
Fill in the blanks by writing time in the appropriate format.
