How do I Spend my Day? (Time) — NCERT Solutions

Concept: Some activities take more time than others. We compare two activities and colour the one that takes longer.

General examples of longer vs. shorter activities:

Answer: Colour the picture that shows the activity which takes more time (e.g., eating a meal, taking a bath, cooking food, etc.).

(Students should look at both pictures, think about how long each activity takes in real life, and colour the one that takes longer.)

Concept: Compare two activities and identify which one takes more time.

General guidance:

• Activities like cooking food, going on a trip, growing a plant take a long time.
• Activities like switching on a light, clapping hands, blinking eyes take a very short time.

Answer: Look at both pictures carefully. Think about how long each activity takes in real life. Colour the picture that shows the activity which takes longer time.

(Students should colour the picture showing the longer activity based on their own experience and understanding.)

Concept: Different seasons have different weather, and we use different objects/clothes/things in each season.

Standard matching of objects with seasons:

Answer:

• Umbrella / Raincoat → Monsoon
• Sweater / Muffler → Winter
• Fan / Cold drink → Summer
• Flowers → Spring

(Students should draw lines matching each object shown in the picture to the correct season.)

In the summer season, I like to eat:

• Ice cream 🍦
• Cold drinks / Lassi / Sharbat
• Watermelon and other juicy fruits
• Cucumber and other cooling vegetables

Reason: In summer it is very hot, so we eat cold and juicy things to feel cool and refreshed.

(This is a personal response question. Students should answer based on their own preference.)

In the winter season, I like to wear:

• Woollen sweater
• Jacket / Coat
• Muffler / Scarf
• Gloves
• Warm socks

Reason: In winter it is very cold, so we wear warm woollen clothes to keep our body warm.

(This is a personal response question. Students should answer based on their own preference.)

The four seasons and their key features:

1. Summer (गर्मी)

• Very hot weather
• Bright sunshine
• People use fans and coolers

2. Monsoon / Rainy Season (बरसात)

4. Spring (बसंत)

• Pleasant weather (not too hot, not too cold)

How to match:

• Picture showing rain and umbrella → Monsoon
• Picture showing snow/fog and warm clothes → Winter
• Picture showing hot sun and fan → Summer
• Picture showing flowers and butterflies → Spring

(Students should write the name of the season below each picture and draw lines to match pictures with the correct season name.)

Project Instructions:

Step 1 — Divide your page into 4 sections, one for each season:

• Summer | Monsoon | Winter | Spring

Step 2 — Draw or stick pictures of favourite foods for each season:

Step 3 — Write the name of the season and festival below each picture.

Step 4 — Colour your drawings neatly.

(This is a creative project. Students should draw or paste pictures based on their own experience and local festivals celebrated in their region. There is no single correct answer — all responses showing seasonal foods and festivals are acceptable.)
