My Five Senses
We learn about the world using our five senses.
| Sense | Body Part | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Sight | Eyes | See colors and shapes |
| Hearing | Ears | Hear sounds |
| Smell | Nose | Smell scents |
| Taste | Tongue | Taste food |
| Touch | Skin | Feel hot, cold, soft, hard |
Living and Non-Living Things
Living things grow, eat, breathe, and reproduce (plants, animals, people). Non-living things do not (rocks, chairs, water).
If it grows and needs food and water, it is alive. A toy dog does not eat — so it is non-living.
Plants and Animals Around Us
We share the world with many plants and animals. Plants give us food, shade, and clean air. Animals can be pets, farm animals, or wild animals.
| Group | Examples | Where they live |
|---|---|---|
| Pets | dog, cat, fish | at home |
| Farm animals | cow, pig, chicken | in a farm |
| Wild animals | lion, monkey, snake | in the forest |
Plants need sunlight, water, and air to grow. Animals need food, water, air, and shelter. Take care of them and they help us too.
Weather and Caring for the Body
Observe daily weather: sunny, cloudy, rainy, or windy. We wear the right clothes for each kind of weather.
| Weather | What to wear / do |
|---|---|
| Sunny | hat, light clothes |
| Rainy | raincoat, umbrella |
| Cold/windy | jacket |
Keep the body healthy: eat fruits and vegetables, drink water, wash hands, brush teeth, sleep early, and play or exercise every day.
Do not play under the rain or near floods — you can get sick or hurt. Always tell an adult where you are going.
