Look at the picture and answer

1What can you see on both sides of the street?Show solution
On both sides of the street we can see shops, trees, lamp posts, and footpaths (pavements) for people to walk on.
2Why are there two dustbins? Do you know why one is blue and the other is green in colour?Show solution
There are two dustbins to separate different kinds of waste. The blue dustbin is for dry waste (such as paper, plastic, and glass), and the green dustbin is for wet waste (such as food scraps and vegetable peels). Keeping waste separate helps in recycling and keeping the environment clean.
3Why is the man in dark glasses holding a white stick?Show solution
The man is visually impaired (he cannot see properly or is blind). He wears dark glasses to protect his eyes and uses a white stick to feel the path in front of him so that he can walk safely without bumping into things.

The boys are playing with a spinning top (a traditional toy that spins on its pointed end when wound with a string and thrown).

Chapter 10 – Night: Let us think — A. Answer the following

1Where does the Sun go after the end of the day?Show solution
Given: The poem says the Sun sinks behind a distant hill at the end of the day.

Answer: After the end of the day, the Sun sinks (goes down) behind a distant hill. The world then grows dark and still. (In reality, the Earth rotates, making it appear as though the Sun sets below the horizon.)
2Which among the following needs the Sun? Why?
a) sunflower b) toys c) plants d) table e) children
Show solution
Answer: The following need the Sun:

- a) Sunflower – Sunflowers need sunlight to grow and they turn their faces towards the Sun.
- c) Plants – Plants need sunlight to make their food through a process called photosynthesis.
- e) Children – Children need sunlight for Vitamin D, which keeps their bones strong and healthy. Sunlight also gives them warmth and energy to play.

Toys and tables are non-living objects and do not need the Sun to survive or grow.
3The poem talks about the Sun in the sky. What else do you see when you look up at the sky?Show solution
When we look up at the sky, we can see:
- The Moon (at night)
- Stars (at night)
- Clouds (during the day)
- Birds flying
- Aeroplanes
- A rainbow (after rain)
- Kites (when people fly them)

1What different colours do we get to see during sunrise and sunset?Show solution
During sunrise and sunset, we get to see beautiful colours such as red, orange, yellow, pink, and purple in the sky. These colours make the sky look very beautiful.
2What do you see when you look at the sky at night?Show solution
When we look at the sky at night, we can see:
- The Moon (full moon, half moon, or crescent moon)
- Thousands of stars twinkling
- Sometimes clouds covering the stars
- Occasionally a shooting star

The night sky looks dark and peaceful.
3How do you feel when you open your eyes in the morning?Show solution
When I open my eyes in the morning, I feel fresh, happy, and energetic. The bright sunlight and the sounds of birds chirping make me feel cheerful and ready to start a new day.
4Imagine a day when the Sun doesn't come out. Talk about how the day would be.Show solution
If the Sun does not come out one day:
- The whole day would be dark and cold.
- We would need to switch on lights and heaters all day.
- Plants would not be able to make food, and they would begin to wilt.
- Animals and birds would be confused and might not come out.
- We would feel gloomy, sad, and sleepy.
- It would be difficult to do outdoor activities like playing or going to school.

A day without the Sun would be very difficult and unpleasant for everyone.
