The Four Seasons

Given: The question asks about clothes worn in summer.

Given: The question asks for a personal favourite season and a reason.

Concept: This is an open-ended personal response question. Children should answer in a full sentence giving a reason.

Sample Answer: I like the monsoon season the most because the rain makes everything green and beautiful, and it feels very cool and refreshing after the hot summer.

Given: Four pictures showing different seasons are provided (pictures not visible in OCR, but the activity is based on the four seasons — Summer, Monsoon, Autumn/Spring, and Winter).

Concept: Children observe the pictures and narrate what they see, using their own words in complete sentences.

Sample Story:
Picture 1 (Summer): It is a hot sunny day. The sun is shining brightly. Children are wearing light cotton clothes and drinking cold water.
Picture 2 (Monsoon): Dark clouds are in the sky. It is raining heavily. Children are using umbrellas and wearing raincoats.
Picture 3 (Autumn/Spring): The weather is pleasant. Flowers are blooming. Children are playing outside happily.
Picture 4 (Winter): It is very cold. People are wearing warm sweaters and jackets. They are sitting in the sun to keep warm.
