Introduction

School is a special place where we go to learn and have fun. In this chapter, we will find out what we do at school, the different kinds of schools, and how to behave nicely. We will also learn about fun days we celebrate at school, like Children's Day and Sports Day, and why good manners are important. Let's explore our school together!

A school is a place where we learn many things:

• We read books at school to learn new stories and words.
• We write in our notebooks to practice letters and numbers.
• We sing songs together, which makes us happy.
• We dance and move our bodies to music.
• We paint with colors to make beautiful pictures.
• We draw with pencils and crayons to create fun shapes.
• We make things with clay, like pots and animals.
• We do craft activities, like cutting and sticking paper to make new things.

There are many kinds of schools:

• Preschools are for small kids, like play groups and kindergartens.
• In preschools, young kids learn by playing and having fun.
• Preschools help kids get ready for primary school.

Good Manners in School

Good manners show what kind of person we are:

• We should not make noise in the class so everyone can hear the teacher.
• We should not take or keep things that belong to our friends.
• We should not bully any child and be kind to everyone.
• We should throw all waste in the dustbin to keep our school clean.
• We should always wish our teachers when we see them.
• We should be polite and nice to everyone in school.
