Q6: Do an activity 
Role-play: Create a scene of a forest in your classroom where students can perform roles of plants and animals, and of visitors. While enacting the play, focus on our role to protect animals and plants.
Ans: In this fun role-play activity, we will create a scene of a forest right in your classroom! Some students will pretend to be trees and plants, others will act as animals, and some will play the role of visitors (people). The goal of this role-play is to understand how important it is to protect trees, animals, and nature. Let’s get started!

Materials Needed:

• Chairs or desks to make the trees or rocks.
• Green paper or cloth to represent plants.
• Animal face masks or simple props (optional).
• Cards or signs for visitors (humans).

Roles:

1. Plants (Trees and Flowers): Some students will act like plants, standing or sitting still. They can make rustling sounds like leaves blowing in the wind.
2. Animals: Some students will pretend to be animals, like elephants, monkeys, birds, etc. They can move around and make animal sounds.
3. Visitors (Humans): Some students will pretend to be visitors (people) who come to the forest to explore. They should interact with the plants and animals but learn to protect them.

How to Set Up the Scene:

1. Create the Forest: Arrange desks or chairs around the classroom to look like a forest. Some desks will be trees (plants), and some students will act as animals in different parts of the forest.
2. Role-play Script: Each role can have a line to say. Here are a few examples:
   • Tree (Plant): “I help clean the air and give animals a home. Please don’t hurt me. I need your protection to stay strong.”
   • Elephant (Animal): “I need the trees to live in the forest. If the trees are cut down, where will I live?”
   • Visitor (Human): “I didn’t know the forest was so important. I will help protect it and not harm the animals or plants.”
   • Teacher/Facilitator: Remind the students to protect nature during the play.

Role-play Steps:

1. Start the Play: The visitors (humans) enter the forest excitedly and start looking at the trees and animals.
2. Problem Happens: Some visitors might pretend to cut down trees or disturb the animals. This creates a problem in the forest.
3. Solution: The trees and animals speak up and tell the visitors how important it is to protect the forest. The visitors realize that they should care for the forest and promise to protect it.

Learning Outcome:

• Through this role-play, you will learn how important it is to take care of plants and animals.
• You will understand that everything in the forest is connected, and we all need to protect nature for it to stay healthy and happy.

By the end of the activity, you will know how to protect the environment and help others do the same!

Activity 2

Interview with Elders
Discuss with the elders in your neighbourhood and find out how they communicated with each other when they were of your age. Compare their answers to how you and your friends communicate today; and fill in the table below:
Ans:
When I discussed with the elders in my neighborhood, they shared that when they were my age, communication was very different from today. They primarily communicated through letters and face-to-face conversations. They used the telephone, but it was landline-based, and there were no mobile phones or social media. Letters were a common way of sending messages, especially to distant relatives.

Today, my friends and I communicate using mobile phones, instant messaging apps, and social media platforms. We send text messages, make video calls, and share photos instantly. Communication is much faster and more accessible now compared to the past.
Here’s a comparison:

Q3: Today quick messages make sharing the news easier, but sometimes wrong information spreads very quickly too. How can we ensure the news we share is true?

• Bridge: A bridge allows vehicles and people to cross over rivers or other obstacles. It makes traveling easier and faster by providing a safe way to cross places where there are no roads.
• Metro Train: A metro train runs on tracks in cities and moves quickly between stations. It helps many people travel faster in busy cities, reducing traffic on the streets.
• Airplane: An airplane flies in the sky and helps people travel long distances quickly. It makes travel much faster compared to traveling by road or train.
• Bullet Train: The bullet train travels very fast on dedicated tracks. It helps people travel long distances quickly, especially between cities, making travel time shorter.
• Cable Car: A cable car is a small vehicle that moves along a wire. It is used in places like mountains to carry people up and down, and it helps reduce the time it takes to climb steep areas.

Q5: Ask your family about any one special skill or craft (for example – basket making, wall painting, pottery) that is famous in your region.
Ans: In my area, pottery is a well-known craft. My family told me that skilled potters use clay to make beautiful pots, vases, and decorations. They use a special wheel, clay, and water, and shape the clay with their hands. This craft is important to our culture and is sold at local markets, helping people earn money and keeping the tradition alive.
