Activity 1

Walk around your school and create its map. Include the main building, playground, garden, water tanks and other key features. Do not forget the school gate and the pathways that connect the buildings.
See AnswerWhen I walked around my school, I saw many important places. At the front, there is a big school gate where the watchman sits. From the gate, a pathway goes straight to the main building. The main building has all our classrooms, the library, the computer lab and the principal’s office.
On the right side of the building, there is a large playground where we play cricket, football and kho-kho. Next to the playground, there is a garden full of flowers, small trees and benches to sit on.
Behind the main building, there are two water tanks kept high on a stand. On the left side, there is a separate pathway that goes to the school canteen and the toilet area. The pathways connect all these places so we can walk easily without stepping on the grass.
If I draw this as a map, it will have the school gate at the bottom, the pathway in the middle, the main building in the center, the playground on the right, the garden next to it and the water tanks at the back.

1. What do I really like about my school?
See AnswerI really like my school because it has a big playground where I can play cricket and football with my friends. The teachers are kind and always help me understand lessons. I also love the library because it has many storybooks to read.

2. How can I make my school greener?
See AnswerI can make my school greener by planting more trees and flowers in the garden, taking care of the plants and watering them regularly. I will also avoid wasting paper, use both sides for writing and help keep the school clean by throwing waste in the correct bins.

3. In case there is any difficulty at school, whom do I talk to or inform?
See AnswerIf there is any difficulty at school, I will first tell my class teacher. If the problem is serious, I can also inform the principal or the school counsellor so they can help me.

1. What things does your school give to recyclers?
See AnswerMy school gives old newspapers, cardboard boxes, used paper and empty plastic bottles to recyclers. Sometimes they also collect broken metal items and old furniture for recycling.

2. Ask your parents and find out if there are any items that they had set aside to give to the recyclers. What are they?
See AnswerAt home, my parents keep old newspapers, plastic containers, glass bottles and empty milk packets aside for the recyclers. They also give away old clothes and metal utensils to the scrap collector.

Find out

With the help of your teacher, ask a recycler to visit your class and share what they do at work. It will be interesting to find out where these items go and how they can be reused or recycled.
See AnswerRecycler’s Visit to Our Class: Today, with the help of our teacher, a recycler came to our class to talk about their work. The recycler told us that they collect many things like old newspapers, cardboard, plastic bottles, glass and metal items from schools, homes and shops.
They explained that paper is sent to factories where it is made into new paper or cardboard. Plastic bottles are melted and made into new plastic products. Glass bottles are cleaned, melted and shaped again. Metal items are sent to workshops where they are melted to make new tools or parts.
The recycler also told us how important their work is for keeping our surroundings clean and reducing waste. They said that if everyone separates waste properly, it becomes easier for them to recycle and reuse items.
I learned that recycling not only helps the environment but also provides jobs for many people.

Activity 2

Segregation Game
Make small paper chits (30 – 40) with the names or drawings of the different items shown below. Add more items to the list based on what you see around your school or home.
Take three empty boxes, and label them — green for wet waste, blue for dry waste and the third can be labelled as ‘Items for recycler’.
One by one, pick a chit and put it in the box that is correct. After all the chits have been put in the boxes, take one box at a time and discuss whether it has been put correctly.

See AnswerSegregation Game – My Experience
Today in class, we played the Segregation Game. First, we made around 35 small paper chits. Each chit had the name or drawing of an item like apple peels, plastic bottles, old newspapers, pencil shavings, broken toys, food wrappers, glass bottles and vegetable waste. We also added some items we see often at home and school, like old shoes, metal spoons, empty milk packets and dry leaves.
We kept three empty boxes:
► Green box for wet waste (like fruit peels, leftover food, vegetable waste).
► Blue box for dry waste (like wrappers, cardboard, broken plastic toys).
► Recycler box for items to be given to recyclers (like old newspapers, metal utensils, glass bottles).
One by one, we picked a chit and placed it in the correct box. In the end, we opened each box to check if the items were kept correctly. We found that a few items were in the wrong box, so we discussed and corrected them.
This game helped me understand how to separate waste properly. Now I know that correct segregation makes recycling easier and keeps our school and home cleaner.

Page 62

How is wet waste managed?
1. In your school
2. In your home
See Answer1. In my school, wet waste like fruit peels, leftover food from lunch boxes and garden leaves is collected in the green bins. The gardener takes this waste to the compost pit in the garden. After some time, it turns into compost, which is used to make the soil healthy for plants.
2. In my home, we keep wet waste like vegetable peels, leftover food and tea leaves in a separate green bucket. My parents give this waste to the community waste collector. Sometimes, we also use it in our small kitchen garden to make compost for the plants.

Discuss

1. What happens if we do not separate our waste?
See AnswerIf we do not separate our waste, all the garbage gets mixed together and it becomes very dirty and smelly. It is harder to recycle useful items, and more waste ends up in landfills, which harms the environment. Mixed waste can also attract insects and spread diseases.

2. What can we do to make the work of sanitation workers easier and safer? Ask your teacher to invite a member of the sanitation workers to your classroom. Ask them to share what they do, the challenges they face and how we can play a better role in waste management.
See AnswerWe can make their work easier and safer by always putting waste in the correct bins — green for wet waste, blue for dry waste and a separate one for recyclables. We should not throw sharp objects like broken glass or metal without wrapping them safely. We should also keep the surroundings clean so they do not have to work in unsafe and dirty places.
When a sanitation worker visited our classroom, they told us that their work is very important for keeping the school and streets clean. They said the biggest challenge is when people mix all types of waste together. They also face problems with harmful waste that is not packed properly. They asked us to help by following waste segregation rules and respecting their work.

Activity 3

Take two tiles or stones, paint one black and the other white. Keep them under the Sun. After a while, touch each of them and feel the difference in their temperature.
Which one felt cooler?
See AnswerThe white one felt cooler.
Because white reflects most of the Sun’s heat, while black absorbs more heat and becomes hotter.

Page 63

Write

If you have to paint the roof of your school or home white, what would happen?
See AnswerIf I paint the roof of my school or home white, it will reflect most of the Sun’s heat instead of absorbing it. This will keep the rooms cooler inside, especially during summer. It will also save electricity because we will need to use fans and coolers less often.

Discuss

If your area is getting warmer, what actions can be taken to keep it cool?
See AnswerIf my area is getting warmer, we can take many actions to keep it cool:
► Plant more trees and plants – They give shade, clean the air and make the surroundings cooler.
► Paint roofs white or light colours – This reflects sunlight and reduces heat inside buildings.
► Use natural ventilation – Keep windows open for fresh air and avoid blocking the breeze.
► Save electricity – Switch off fans, lights and appliances when not in use to reduce heat from machines.
► Use less concrete and more greenery – Parks, gardens and green walls keep the area cooler than cement surfaces.
By doing these, we can make our homes, schools and neighbourhoods more comfortable even in hot weather.

Activity 4

Look out for a dripping tap or poke a small hole in a used water bottle filled with water. Now, let the water drip. Collect the dripping water in a glass and carefully measure the time it took for the glass to fill up.
Time taken to fill one glass: ____________________________
How many glasses would become full in one day?
__________________________________________________________
You will be surprised at how quickly water adds up and how much is wasted without anyone noticing.
See AnswerTime taken to fill one glass: 10 minutes
If 1 glass takes 10 minutes to fill, then in 1 hour it will fill 6 glasses.
In 24 hours: 6 × 24 = 144 glasses.
That means a small leak can waste 144 glasses of water in just one day!

Discuss

1. What are some easy things we can do in our school to prevent the wastage of water?
See AnswerThings to do in our school to prevent the wastage of water:
• Close taps tightly after use.
• Fix leaking taps or pipes immediately.
• Use a bucket instead of a running tap for cleaning.
• Water plants using leftover water from bottles.
• Spread awareness among students about saving water.

2. How can you collect and use rainwater at home or in school?
See AnswerWe can collect rainwater by installing pipes that direct roof water into a storage tank. This stored rainwater can be used for watering plants, cleaning floors and washing playground areas. In gardens, we can also make small pits to let rainwater soak into the ground and recharge underground water.

1. Name the trees on your campus or near your school.
See AnswerTrees on our campus or near my school:
Neem, Mango, Gulmohar, Ashoka and Guava trees.

2. Which birds and insects have you seen near the plants or trees on your school campus?
See AnswerI have seen sparrows, mynahs, crows and parrots. Among insects, I have noticed butterflies, honeybees and dragonflies near the flowers and trees.

Page 66

Activity 5

1. Take two glasses of water. Measure the temperature using a thermometer under the guidance of your teacher. Record your readings.
See AnswerTemperature of water in both the glasses are same that is 28°C.

2. Keep one glass under a tree and the other under the Sun. After one hour, measure the temperature again.
Record your readings.

What do these readings tell us?
Answer:

The water kept under the tree stayed cooler because the tree gave shade and reduced direct heat from the Sun. The water kept under the Sun became much hotter because sunlight fell on it directly. This shows that trees help keep the surroundings cool.

3. With the help of your teacher, try to find out the names of the trees and plants that attract birds and butterflies. Try to create a butterfly garden in your school.
See AnswerTrees and plants that attract birds and butterflies: With the help of my teacher, I found that Hibiscus, Marigold, Bougainvillea, Sunflower and Jasmine attract butterflies, while Neem, Banyan, Mango and Guava trees attract birds. We will plant more of these in our school to create a butterfly garden and make the campus greener and livelier.

1. Find out and write at least three traffic rules.
See AnswerThree Traffic Rules:
• Always stop at the red traffic light and go only when it turns green.
• Follow the zebra crossing to cross the road safely.
• Do not drive or ride too fast near schools and crowded areas.

2. Think and write about what you saw at the school gate.
See AnswerAt the school gate, I saw many parents waiting to pick up their children. Some vehicles were parked properly, but a few were blocking the way. The school guard was helping students cross the road safely. I also noticed that some people were not following traffic rules and were in a hurry, which made the area a bit unsafe.

Page 68

Discuss

Besides making signboards, what else can we do to improve traffic near the school?
See AnswerBesides making signboards, we can do many things to improve traffic near the school:
• Appoint traffic volunteers (teachers or senior students) to guide vehicles during arrival and departure times.
• Mark zebra crossings clearly so students can cross safely.
• Ask parents to park in a proper parking area instead of blocking the school gate.
• Request speed breakers near the school so vehicles slow down.
• Coordinate with local police to manage traffic during peak school hours.
• Have separate entry and exit gates if possible, to avoid crowding.
These steps will make the area around the school safer for everyone.

Write

1. Where is the fire extinguisher kept in your school?
See AnswerIn my school, the fire extinguisher is kept near the main entrance of every building and also in the science lab.

2. In case of a fire, where is the assembly point in your school?
See AnswerThe assembly point in my school is the open playground, away from the buildings.

3. What should you do if there is a fire or if you smell smoke?
See AnswerIf there is a fire or I smell smoke, I will quickly inform my teacher, move calmly towards the nearest exit and go to the assembly point. I will not run or panic and I will help others if it is safe. I will never go back inside the building until it is declared safe.

Activity 6

In small groups, discuss the situations given below. Each group will discuss one situation. One student from each group will then share their ideas with the class.
1. Two students are pushing and skipping the line at the water tap while others are waiting.
2. A student is scribbling on a classroom bench with a marker. Another child watches but says nothing.
3. Someone throws a wrapper in the playground. A younger student copies the same act.
4. One student keeps teasing and making fun of another student.

yoga nearby.
Each group would discuss:
1. If you see such a situation unfold before you, what would you do?
2. What steps can we take to prevent such incidents?
See Answer1. Two students are pushing and skipping the line at the water tap while others are waiting.
• What I would do: Politely ask them to wait for their turn and explain why it’s important to follow the line.
• Prevention: Make rules about standing in line and remind everyone during assembly.
2. A student is scribbling on a classroom bench with a marker. Another child watches but says nothing.
• What I would do: Ask the student to stop and tell the teacher so it can be cleaned.
• Prevention: Teach students to respect school property and report such actions.
3. Someone throws a wrapper in the playground. A younger student copies the same act.
• What I would do: Pick up the wrapper and put it in the dustbin, showing the right example.
• Prevention: Place more dustbins around and encourage everyone to keep the school clean.
4. One student keeps teasing and making fun of another student.
• What I would do: Tell them to stop and inform the teacher if it continues.
• Prevention: Have awareness sessions on kindness and respecting others.
5. A group of students are making noise in a public park and disturbing a small group doing yoga nearby.
• What I would do: Request them to lower their voices so the others are not disturbed.

Let us reflect

1. Out of all the classrooms in your school, which one do you think is the nicest and why?
See AnswerI think the nicest classroom in my school is our library room. It is big, clean and quiet. There are colorful charts on the walls, soft chairs to sit on and shelves full of storybooks, comics and encyclopedias. The large windows let in lots of natural light and it feels calm and peaceful. I like it because I can sit there, read my favourite books and learn new things without any disturbance.

2. Create a happiness tree.
On a wall or chart paper, draw a large tree with many branches. Each student should add a ‘leaf’ with one small action written on it that makes the school a happier place (for example, greeting someone, turning off lights, sharing space, etc.).
See AnswerMake Image with activity

3. Sharing one’s feelings is exciting. Write a letter to your teacher on ‘My School — My Happy Place’.
See AnswerDear Teacher,
I am writing to share my feelings about my learning platform Tiwari Academy and my school, which I truly call My Happy Place.
Every day when I enter the school gate, I feel excited to learn and meet my friends. Our classrooms are bright and cheerful and the teachers are kind and always ready to help us. I love our big playground where we play games and laugh together. The library is my favourite place because it is full of storybooks that take me to different worlds.
Our school also teaches us to care for plants, save water and keep the campus clean. These activities make me feel proud that we are helping the environment. I enjoy working together with my classmates to make our school greener and happier.
For me, school is not just about studies — it is about friendship, kindness and learning how to make the world a better place. That is why my school will always be my happy place.
Yours sincerely,
Anant Tiwari
Class 5

4. Which actions would you extend to your home, neighbourhood and communities to make it a happy place for all? Describe any one of them in detail.
See AnswerActions to make my home, neighbourhood and community a happy place:
► Planting trees and taking care of plants.
► Helping neighbours and sharing things.
► Keeping the surroundings clean.
► Greeting people with a smile.
► Saving water and electricity.
Keeping the surroundings clean:
I would make sure that my home and neighbourhood stay clean by not throwing waste on the road or in open spaces. I will put waste in the right dustbin – green for wet waste and blue for dry waste. I can also ask my friends and neighbours to join in a weekend cleaning drive where we sweep the streets and remove litter. By doing this, we will have cleaner air, healthier surroundings and a place where everyone feels happy and safe to walk, play and meet. This small habit can inspire others to take care of their spaces too.

5. Imagine a day in school from someone else’s perspective.
Choose any one of the following:
• A student who navigates school using a wheelchair.
• A student who speaks a different mother tongue.
• A sanitation worker at school.
Write a diary entry from their point of view. What they felt? What was easy or hard? What made them smile or worry?
See AnswerDate: 10 August 2025
Dear Diary,
Today was a mixed day for me at school. The morning was bright and my best friend helped me get from the school gate to the assembly hall. That made me smile because I felt included. But moving to the science lab was hard — there’s a small step in the corridor and I needed help to get my wheelchair over it. I wish there was a ramp there.
In class, the teacher asked me to help explain a topic and my classmates clapped. That moment made me feel proud and confident. During recess, my friends made sure we played a game where I could join easily, which was fun.
The only thing that worried me today was when it rained — the pathway to the playground became slippery, and I felt nervous about moving around. I hope someday the school makes smoother paths everywhere.
Even with these challenges, I love my school because my friends and teachers make me feel that I belong here.
– Aditi

6. As principal for a day, what three changes would you make to enhance happiness, safety and greenery in your school?
See AnswerIf I were the principal for a day, I would make these three changes:
► Happiness: I would start a “Fun Friday” where the last period is for games, music or creative activities. This would make students feel excited to come to school and enjoy learning even more.
► Safety: I would make sure there are ramps, handrails and non-slippery floors in all buildings so that every student, including those with wheelchairs, can move safely. I would also arrange safety drills for fire and earthquakes.
► Greenery: I would start a “One Student, One Plant” program where each student takes care of a plant in the school garden. This will make the school greener and also teach everyone to love nature.

7. In groups of 4 – 5, act out the following:
• A student showing kindness in a difficult situation.
• A team solving a school water wastage problem.
• A student helping a shy classmate feel included.
After each role-play, ask the class:
What did you see? What was inspiring? Could this happen in real-life?
See Answer• A student showing kindness in a difficult situation:
Role-play idea: A student drops all their books in the corridor and another student immediately helps pick them up, even though they are late for class.
Discussion questions:
► What did you see? (Helping someone even when it’s not convenient.)
► What was inspiring? (Putting someone else’s needs first.)
► Could this happen in real life? (Yes, if we care about others.)
• A team solving a school water wastage problem:
Role-play idea: Students notice a tap dripping in the playground. They inform the teacher, get it repaired, and put up a “Save Water” signboard.
Discussion questions:
► What did you see? (Working together to solve a problem.)
► What was inspiring? (Taking quick action instead of ignoring.)
► Could this happen in real life? (Yes, if we are responsible.)

Discussion questions:
► What did you see? (Kindness and inclusion.)
► What was inspiring? (Making someone feel welcome.)
► Could this happen in real life? (Yes, if we are friendly and open.)

8. Write a one minute speech for your morning assembly on ‘My Dream School’. Mention what makes it special, who helps it stay that way and what every student can do.
See AnswerOne minute speech for morning assembly on ‘My Dream School:
Good morning everyone,
My dream school is a place where every child feels happy, safe and excited to learn. It has big green gardens, colourful classrooms, a library full of interesting books and playgrounds where everyone can play freely. Teachers here are kind, helpful and encourage us to ask questions and try new things. Our school stays special because of the hard work of our teachers, staff and even the gardeners and sanitation workers who keep it clean and beautiful. As students, we can keep it this way by respecting each other, saving water and electricity, keeping our surroundings clean and always helping one another. Together, we can make our school not just a place for studying, but a second home filled with joy and learning.
Thank you.

9. Take a quick survey, ask five students and one teacher:
(a) What is the one thing that makes them feel happy in school?
(b) What is the one thing that could be improved?
(c) What is the one kind thing that they saw today?
Record and present your findings to the class. What did you learn from others?
See AnswerSurvey Findings – Happiness in School: I asked five students and one teacher three questions about our school.
• Student 1 said playing in the playground makes them happiest. They wished for a bigger library. Today, they saw a friend share lunch with someone.
• Student 2 loves art and craft class. They thought the school should have more sports equipment. They noticed a classmate helping pick up fallen books.
• Student 3 feels happiest while playing games with friends. They suggested keeping the washrooms cleaner. Today, they gave water to a thirsty classmate.
• Student 4 enjoys science experiments. They wanted more shady spots in the garden. They saw a friend share colours in art class.
• Student 5 loves reading in the library. They wished for better swings. They helped a new student feel comfortable.
► The teacher feels happiest seeing students smile. They suggested adding more green plants to the campus. They noticed students cleaning the blackboard without being asked.
What I learned:
Happiness in school comes from friends, fun activities and a positive environment. Improvements in facilities, cleanliness and greenery can make school even better. Small acts of kindness—like sharing, helping or caring—spread joy to everyone.

Notes to revise the complete chapter 4 before exams.

Keeping Our School and Surroundings Clean
Our school is like our second home, so it is our duty to keep it clean. Clean surroundings make us healthy and happy. In our school, we throw waste in the right dustbins. We have green bins for wet waste like fruit peels and leftover food and blue bins for dry waste like paper, plastic and wrappers. Wet waste is later turned into compost for our garden. This helps plants grow without chemicals. If we mix wet and dry waste, it becomes hard to recycle. Sanitation workers have to work harder and it can even be unsafe for them. That is why we must always throw waste in the correct bin and keep our classrooms, corridors and playgrounds clean.

Saving Water and Using It Wisely
Water is precious and wasting it is wrong. In our school, we can save water in many ways. We should turn off taps after washing our hands and not keep them running unnecessarily. If we see a leaking tap, we should inform the teacher or staff immediately. For cleaning, we can use buckets instead of running water. Rainwater can be collected in tanks and used for gardening. Sometimes people waste water at the drinking tap by playing with it or letting it overflow. This should never be done. If you see someone wasting water, remind them politely to stop. Remember, water saved today will be useful tomorrow for plants, animals and people. Without water, life is not possible.

Safety in School and Managing Traffic
Safety is important in school. We have fire extinguishers placed in safe corners and an assembly point where we gather during emergencies like fire or earthquake drills. If there is smoke or fire, stay calm, inform your teacher and move quickly to the assembly point without pushing anyone. Outside the school, traffic can be dangerous. That’s why we have signboards, zebra crossings and speed breakers to protect students. Still, we should cross only at zebra crossings, walk on the footpath and never run on the road. Parents and drivers should drop and pick up students from the right spots. Volunteers and guards also help manage traffic near the school. Everyone’s cooperation keeps us safe.

Small Acts That Make School a Happier Place
A happy school is not only clean and safe but also full of kindness. Small acts like greeting teachers, sharing things and helping friends make everyone feel good. We can create a Happiness Tree on the wall where each leaf has a kind action written by students, like “turn off lights when not in use” or “help a shy friend join the game”. These actions make the school peaceful and friendly. We should also respect our sanitation workers, gardeners and guards because they help keep our school beautiful and safe. If we work together, our school will be a clean, green and happy place where everyone enjoys learning and playing.
