Living in Harmony: the Chapter Story
A short read for Class 3 before you play. These notes are written for this page and are not copied from the textbook.
🏠 Animals and plants at home
We bring some animals and plants into our homes, and some visit on their own. We take care of them with water, food and shelter, and we never hurt animals even if we are scared.
🥭 The mango tree
Shambhu and his father rest under a huge mango tree that shelters birds, squirrels and monkeys. A monkey eats a mango and throws out the seed, and Shambhu’s father explains that a new plant will grow from it.
🌳 What plants give us
Plants give us shade, shelter for animals, wood, medicine, fibre for clothes, fruit and fresh air.
🐿 We need each other
Squirrels forget the nuts they bury, and new trees grow. Animals spread seeds and make the soil fertile, and cows, buffaloes and goats give us milk and company.
🐜 Things to try
Children observe an animal, watch busy ants find food, share feelings with a plant friend and act out animals in a guessing game.
🐦 A true story from Valparai
In Valparai, children and teachers record birds all year. When Grey Wagtails arrive from the mountains in winter, they welcome them with posters and sweets.
