Colours

Given: A picture showing ducklings and chicks (image not fully visible).

Based on the story 'Colours', there are several ducklings and chicks shown together near the stream.

Answer: (Students should count from the picture in their textbook and write the number. For example: There are 4 ducklings and 5 chicks in the picture.) The exact number depends on the illustration in the textbook.

Given: The story describes the duck and the hen interacting with each other.

Answer: Yes, the duck and the hen are friends. We know this because the hen helped the duck's ducklings cross the stream. Good friends help each other, and the hen showed kindness and care towards the duck and her ducklings.

Given: The story describes the hen and chicks crossing a stream.

Answer: The hen and the chicks crossed the stream by walking over the duck's back. The duck lay flat in the water and the hen and her chicks used the duck as a bridge to cross the stream safely.

Given: This is a personal experience question.

Answer (Sample): Yes, I have helped my friend. Once my friend forgot her lunch box at home. I shared my lunch with her so that she did not go hungry. It felt very good to help her.

Given: This is a personal reflection question.

Answer (Sample): Yes, I felt very happy to help my friend. Helping others always makes us feel good and brings a smile to our face. It also makes our friendship stronger.

Given: A matching exercise with animals and their young ones (image-based).

Answer: The standard matches are:
- Duck → Duckling
- Hen → Chick
- Cat → Kitten
- Dog → Puppy
- Cow → Calf

(Students should draw lines matching each animal to its correct young one as shown in the textbook picture.)

Given: The poem 'Colours' is about children sharing crayons.

Answer: There are three children in the poem. One child has a yellow crayon, one has a blue crayon, and one has a red crayon.

Given: Each child in the poem has only one crayon of a different colour.

Answer: The children wanted to share their crayons because each child had only one colour. By sharing, they could use all the colours together and draw more colourful and complete pictures. No single child had all the colours needed.

Given: The children each have one crayon of a different colour.

Answer: The children can have a full pack by sharing their crayons with each other. When all three children put their crayons together — yellow, blue, and red — they will have more colours to use. Together, they can share and enjoy a full set of colours.

Given: This is a personal experience question about sharing.

Answer (Sample): Yes, I share many things with my friends. I share my tiffin/lunch with them during break time. I also share my books, pencils, erasers, and colour pencils. Sharing makes us better friends and keeps everyone happy.

Given: Only three colours are available — green, blue, and red.

Answer (Sample): With green, blue, and red crayons, I would draw:
- A tree (green for leaves, brown is not available so I can use red for the trunk)
- The sky (blue)
- Flowers (red)
- Grass (green)
- A river or pond (blue)

Students should discuss in pairs and share their ideas with the class.

Given: Six colours are available — blue, green, red, yellow, brown, and orange.

Answer (Sample): With these six colours, I can draw a beautiful nature scene:
- Blue for the sky and water
- Green for trees, grass, and leaves
- Red for flowers and apples
- Yellow for the sun
- Brown for tree trunks and soil
- Orange for fruits like oranges and the setting sun

Students should draw their picture in the space provided in the textbook.
